autopilot...

Lots of websites are designed to run without administrator intervention. One place I've traveled to verifies all new members and photos only for minimal compliance that a person (and not a bot) is on the other end. That doesn't stop new members from using stolen photos of famous people as 20% of the new members are fakes.
Other than a casual visit by administration, CS is in perpetual autopilot mode. The site exists with 1 week probation for new members and blocking some words that are commonly used but considered offensive...
Examples:
A female chicken is a hen and the male is a c*ck. Oops, I mean rooster!
(I'm told that 'c' word is used in the bible but not allowed on many public forums)
Dogs? Bastard is the make dog and b*tch is the female.
I haven't checked and possibly they get blocked.
But... 'shit' gets past the word filter!

Back to the point of this blog. As mortal members we don't know who actually runs the place. A main moderator and some other staff, possibly a programmer or two is what I envision. Months ago, the moderator wiped out dozens of blogs and posted his own to say the site needed to go in a different direction (with less blogs of a certain type) and for a while blogs that didn't comply disappeared. I checked yesterday and the moderator hasn't logged in (to that profile) in months. Reporting bogus profiles is something I do often and going back to see they disappeared within a few days was normal. Something changed as no less than 30 scammer profiles are still here. Some haven't been back since they were created and others are still active. This leads me to believe there is more autopilot than administrative intervention.

That was the beginning of the end on another site. Let's hope it's not a repeat of history on this one.

Unfortunately, most of what is posted now..is negative.

Political stuff...I’m right you are wrong.

Reminds me of a relationship when it has ended. The adults can’t get past their hurt...for the benefit of the children...and, make life miserable..for those who don’t deserve it.
