Post by Aioeyou tell me that aioe.org is the trolls' paradise
No, I did not.
I said that there are trolls using Aioe. I did NOT say it was a troll's
paradise.
Paradise implies friendly to trolls and ignores complaints and does
nothing to stop trolls. Aioe has shown that it is decidedly not
friendly to trolls and that it does take efforts to stop them.
I'm confident that many trolls are stopped. But I'm also confident that
some small number still get through. I've seen a few.
Post by Aioeand at this point i ask you an obvious question: which messages
are abusive?
And I've stated that the few that I've seen have not been worth my
effort to complain.
Post by AioeAs long as you don't list me which messages you think that are abusive,
i can't check if they really violate my terms of service: they may
not be abusive, they may not exist.
I'm not asking you to check.
Post by AioeI am aware that sometimes abusive messages are posted through my server
but they seem to be only a few
Agreed.
Post by Aioeif compared to the total number of articles posted through aioe.org.
I have no knowledge of the total number of articles posted through Aioe,
so I can't comment on the ratio.
But seeing as how the numerator (number of abusive posts) is small, I
don't care what the denominator (number of all posts) is.
Post by AioeAs long as there are few abusive messages, i have no way of realizing
that there are abuses until nobody warns me.
Agreed.
Post by AioeIf one day three hundred messages are posted on a group through my
server, i can be warned that there is a problem because they are
too many.
If I saw that I would report it.
Seeing as how I have not seen that, I have not reported it.
Post by AioeIf the messages are few, they are not enough to generate anomalies
in the statistics.
Agreed.
If the messages are few enough, it's not worth reporting anything.
Post by AioeAt the same time, i read many people who complain about my server
making noise but none of these people even write me a complaint at
That's because the number of complaints is not sufficient to motivate
people to report them.
But that number is not zero.
Post by AioeReporting abuse serves to stop it. As long as i don't know there is a
problem, i don't take action to solve it. I am not active not because
i am negligent but only because nobody warns me that there are abuses.
I don't recall saying that you are negligent. In fact, I think your
efforts, and responses in this thread, show that you are the opposite of
negligent. You do try to stop, or at least slow, the tide of abuse.
But as you say, you can not stop all of the abuse. Thus, there are some
abuse posts that do get out.
Since someone else brought it up, I am stating that there are some
(small number) of abuse posts from Aioe.
That small number is not sufficient to motivate me to report them.
But there are some abuse posts from Aioe.
