how to get busted by current.com

good tip, looks bad current(im lossing faith)

i really wouldnt be suprised if they banned me - im so rude.
current has gone to shit in the last year anyway, no more news anymore just celeb gossip and mildly interesting technology news.

Yeah plusaf, someone we both know was suspended for two weeks for this response:-> "& re: sending you a message pertaining to the fact that you are a"devious little puke," I don't clearly recall, but then again if I did, it was probably overdue.
~ now, do what you do so well, whine and flag . . . the usual X/X m/o . . . . . Bwahahahahaha”

- - - and for that our friend was silenced. . . you can call someone a mo****f***er, but don't dare call them a devious little puke!

I think for the most part,... Current has relevant and useful conversations. Sure, nowadays there seems to be more and more personal attacks,... but that's just because I'm a stupid, weird Gargoyle. If it's a joke, it furthers your point and it's not severely damaging - then say it. It's the childish threats, trolling and fake profiles that I can't stands. But,... ugly responses are the norm within conversations.

hahaha i got that email for calling a guy "fucking clown shoes" i think the ass hat i question needs to complain in order for you to get a notice. keep on trucking

ditto on the flaggers that flag when they dish it out and cant take it....
kinda like punching a kid and then running behind the teachers back.

i will not mention the one that set me up and then knocked me down that way.
several times I walked into his trap just to get JJammed up.................

i just try to avoid being trolled upon.......................

I THINK EVERYONE ARE MEANIES! (sulk)

and i think it just hit me as to who flagged my remark.......
very interesting, indeed

Keep up the good work Pakazak. I enjoy reading your posts.

Hey guys,

First, it's important to note that isolating a comment can take it out of context. Discussions that escalate from being about the topic to being about the people discussing the topic can veer into violations of our community guidelines. One of the reasons for the Community Guidelines on Current is to facilitate debates that remain focused on the issues being discussed. If you’re calling out a previous post, reference the ideas and statements made, rather than the person who is making them.

While it may not always seem to be the case, we have a variety of tools in addition to flagging that help us detect violations. Flagging content does not mean it will be automatically removed, and not flagging content that you believe to be in violation doesn't help promote healthy discussions and debates on Current.

We appreciate your feedback about our practices and we will be taking this into consideration as we shape and improve our system here on Current.

When i first came to current, i had one of my comments posted on t.v. Naturally, i cuss like an asshole. They changed a little bit of my language and still aired it. I got this e-mail telling me they changed some of the wording and it was chosen to be aired. No biggie, they just wanted it to sound nice haha

It takes a lot to drag me back to current these days specifically because of this BS... The last time it happened I tried to explain to them that this is precisely how they run off people so frequently... they of course never responded, nor care. Current is a service, and they have to pander to everyone, if disenfranchising people by censoring their stories and comments is what they want to do, then they will fail, and I can not say I will be sad to see it happen...
The kid on the playground will never be normal if he is not tantalized by his peers for being weird, they either have to be goaded into standing up for themselves, or goaded to stopping what ever is causing them to be harassed... since most adults have the mentalities of a 6 yo... well... here is a good example

Yet we are not allowed to retaliate to the belligerence with the force it often requires... thanks current censor man.

Further more, vanguards "journalism" makes me want to puke... I am admittedly a very liberal person; vanguard on the other hand is so slanted it makes me take out sessions on the punching bag, literally, I can not watch it because it makes me that angry... quite possibly more so than fox news.

To dig even deeper, currents faux green movement hippy wannabe band wagon... WTF... "What is your green innovation? We are using the same water bottles for a month!"... Good job, why not take that effort you just put into typing that to point out that no one is looking into water efficiency of cooling the plastic for the bottles, and making it regulatory standards... or using the steam from the cooling process to co-generate electricity, and stop being so bloody wasteful... or how about tank less water heaters that get 95+% efficiency over the incredibly wasteful tank heaters that have to keep water hot 24/7... How about induction stoves as well!!! These are the things that need to be adopted for us to move off of fossil fuel electric production. If you point out to the plebeian followers on this site that putting a bottle of rocks in the tank of your toilet is not going to even come close to solving problems they become overwhelmingly defensive, are only able to spew the lines they have been feed... kind of reminds you of the tea baggers, check that, mimics the tea baggers mentality.

I could go on for a long time, but I will stop now... I hope something in there opens someones eyes a little so that it does not blind side you in a sickening epiphany like it did me... if it does, I suggest a punching bag, both aerobic and stress relieving at once.

You name caller

Oh, by the way, someone called me an idiot this morning, and I'm traumatized for life. Oh cruel world.

I told someone he was nuts, and I got the same treatment. Now I refrain from stating anything of substance, because, as we all know, content is dangerous.

pakazak -

I've disagreed with you plenty of times on here, but I feel you here. I've gotten no fewer than a half dozen of these emails. They're obligated to remove the comment if somebody flags it, don't let it get to you.

Why does anyone tell on anyone else for such childish shit? Do you have any idea how many times a day someone here on Current calls me a name? BooHoo I will cry to my mom

Snitches get stitches and wind up in ditches.

Damn I hope that doesnt violate community standards

Nettle, really? then the e-mail boxes of 60% of the posters i see on current must be jammed to the max with admonitions regarding violation of community standards.
nice to know we're being watched though.

But as I have found these flaggers can dish it out but can't take it. Laugh because you got to them by being flagged my man. Don't take it personnel I never do!

Yeah it does violate the community standards. There are a few key words that are a green-light to getting removed. Calling someone a stalker, troll, or any vulgarity is going to get attention. There's also the chance that said person was offended and flagged it, in which case it is most likely going to get removed.
