New Politics section
 
Upon popular request, a new politics section on the board is now created. From now on, all threads related to political discussions/news, must be posted there, unless are industry related.

PS. There will be a zero tolerance policy on this, the hammer is ready. Try me.

Bladewire 07-31-2019 08:51 AM

Nice :thumbsup

Brian mike 07-31-2019 08:52 AM

:thumbsup , @xanadu ... me think you should Pinned it :winkwink:

OneHungLo 07-31-2019 08:55 AM

So ALL news unrelated to adult goes in that section?

What about if I posted about something sports related, like the NFL?

Also, onehung had a good question

Old threads will be moved too till a reasonable date in the past to clean up the main section.

If someone starts bumping old threads on purpose for this, will be banned.

Bladewire 07-31-2019 09:12 AM

Here's a link to the politics section

Nice bro. Great to see somebody getting this place in check.

Hopefully this is for the long ride, and not just a end of the month stat quo run lol.

crockett 07-31-2019 09:48 AM

I agree something needs to be done, but you guys will kill the forum.

You are blaming political topics for the lack of business but reality is the political bullshit has happened because there was no business to talk about..

You have to pick your line in the sand.. is it just political bullshit but you will let the loons post their anti vaxxer shit?

Is it no interesting stuff like the video I posted about India planting trees..or no nothing unless its porn related? If it's no nothing then you will be here day and night banning people until its dead..

You guys need to set it in stone is it everything but political shit or anything but political stuff..

Either way the board will either get filled with other useless junk that's non political and the same people will complain or it will die, because there is one thing that is 100% certain. Those people who complain will not be the ones starting topics just like they dont do now..

It's the political BS that has kept GFY going for the past few years. It will be interesting to see where the majority of posts go now ?

King Mark 07-31-2019 10:06 AM

The politics section will either become the most active section or I'm afraid Crockett might maybe (hopefully not) be correct.

I agree its a fine line. I dont think the "fucking around" section should be only business. For example I didnt move the ethiopian trees thread and few others either. If people start overdoing it with the non political, we will deal with it accordingly.

Would be easier to let it like it was, less work, more page views and activity etc etc.

Its time though to make GFY great again :p

That's what I'm getting at.. the politics isn't the cause it's the symptom. Meaning if you only remove political topics exclusively other non industry related stuff will take it's place..

The people who complain about the politics will then complain about the other stuff as well..


The key issue is this is no longer a affiliate porn board because the affiliate model was killed off. There simply is not enough business left to talk about. They would be smarter to have made a "business only" forum but of course that didn't work, because we already have one and none of these people who cry about no porn business ever posted there..

The point being GFY hasn't been a porn board for years not because of bullshit posts, but because the market died for the webmasters who posted here..

Bladewire 07-31-2019 10:09 AM

The newest threads & responses are being posted to the bottom in the politics section instead of the top :2 cents:

Yea but they are only moving "political' shit so leaving the racist shit, the anti vaxxer & conspiracy shit.. The forum will be filled with that shit now..

You have to go either all or nothing.. because politics will just get replaced with other useless shit that someone will whine about. There wont be some sudden replacement with 'business" topics..

You will get a handful of people posting business topics for a few days maybe a week then they will get bored because no one replies in their posts and it will be filled with useless shit..

The smart money would be make a "white listed" business forum with heavy moderation but let anyone join who asked but then kick them if they post bull shit.

Then turn the rest of the form into a mainstream adult social network site like Reddit or something.. If it were me.. I'd do exactly that.. Make the business end private & hidden with white listing access but then actually go out to attract the bull shit stuff and use that to sell porn to them..

this is not true. I have a very broad view on whats political and whats not lol. Feel free to send me such threads and I will have them moved.

Crocket is right, Xanadu. On GFY, People post about politics to state and argue their personal opinions. Some even do it to reinforce their own belief such as WeHatePorn and his anti-science crap, and Vendildo's anti-immigrant shit.

If you're going to move Political Discussions to another thread, Then you are going to have to move other subjects there too. If you are going to do that, then either prepare for some backlash from people who don't want to be lumped into that category, and for a drop in GFY traffic.

Moving which is by far the most popular subjects on GFY to the very bottom of the list is a traffic killer too.

I agree that something should be done, but I'm not sure this is the best way.

How do we do that? Is the report function working now?

wehateporn 07-31-2019 10:22 AM

Many people will start to return to GFY now

xanadu 07-31-2019 10:23 AM

I understand that we all come to gfy not only for business, it has personally made me laugh(and think and learn and get mad...) a million times over the years. We could just delete all such threads from now on and dont make a section at all, if we didnt respect that....

Nevertheless a lot of people have stopped participating because of what has been going on and this had to stop. Sometimes change is painful.

What I was saying was when you make a post in the politics & more section, the new post/thread goes to the bottom of the page. The oldest threads are at the top of the page. The setting needs to be reversed so new threads/posts go to the top of the page... not the bottom

it is on purpose to discourage new posts :p

xanadu, quick question:

I posted a story about Rammstein Guitarists kissing for LGBTQ rights. https://gfy.com/politics-and-more/13...-policies.html

But you moved it to the political thread.

Granted, it is a little about Russia, but in my opinion it is more about the rights of the LGBTQ community.

In your opinion, should anything about LGBTQ rights be pushed to the very bottom of a forum that caters to the ADULT Entertainment Industry? Doesn't this set a really bad example, especially since GFY and all of its participants are in the Adult Industry?

I'm all for playing by the rules, but maybe you need to define what the new rules are. For example, ACEPIMP's sig has a link called "President Trump's Accomplishment List: Get Some Facts". It's political, and its content is debatable. Should his sig be allowed to appear everywhere?

There has been politics since day one on here, its the racial shit that started popping up on here a few years ago thats a huge turnoff to most I would think.

Tasty1 07-31-2019 10:54 AM

Could you change the sub name of the forum?

Politics & More
Not for idiots.

new

Politics & More
For all idiots.


Else most will post political topics in the Fucking Around section cause they think they are not allowed to post in that Politics forum.

Or maybe safer to show them their names to avoid the risk of confusion i.e. ‘Crockett and Bladewire Forum’

What would be nice is a permanent bar that stays at the top, like the way this blue one does on the other forum...

Have links to all the sections permanently at the top for instant access and also as a reminder of the other sections that are available away from this section, which is, as you know, the main one that people gather in... :2 cents:

Mark if it was just regarding lgbt rights I wouldn’t have moved it, you answered why yourself. The same will happen to many threads that cross the line.

And yes, it’s a fine line sometimes, mistakes will happen, feel free to contact and we will do our best to fix them.


As for sigs, dully noted, we will look into that in general also.

When things cool down, I am all about moving popular political threads back to the main section, we don’t live in a bubble.
