This site is becoming more and more edgy as the users increases

We are always going to be cracking down on edge. It comes with the territory. We won’t be removing every joke or everything someone may subjectively find disrespectful. We want people to be able to express themselves and voice their opinions. After all, respecting the first amendment is important if you believe that access to this content should be protected. However it’s also important to consider the stigma around this content and acknowledge that the fringe nature of the community can sometimes cause forums like this to devolve into something that paints us all in a negative light in the eyes of the public. This isn’t good for anyone. None of you should feel bad about being morbidly curious and we all have our own personal reasons for seeking out this content. It’s important yet sometimes can be difficult to maintain a balance In this regard. Rules to help with this problem:

• Post titles need to be descriptive

• No joke titles

• No memes or reaction videos

• No meme comments (shoes still on, did he died, etc)

• No low effort edgeposting (the only potential humor is shock value)

• No blatant/explicit racism or bigotry

How can you help? Speak up. Participate. Downvote. Report. Someone making an off color joke/comment or being “rude” is not really enough to warrant removal, but don’t be afraid to use the report function if you think a comment/post/user is in violation of the rules. Just don’t abuse it. From what I’ve observed, the downvotes and replies usually speak for themselves. Thanks for all the feedback.

Yeah, been seeing a lot of cringey "YES, DOWNVOTE ME, I LOVE IT" types lately. Might as well just paste some text art of the joker while they're at it.

Downvote and report the idiots.

Do your part.

I was just thinking this yesterday. Why are the edge lords always the most vocal? It's old and tiresome. It may be funny the first or second time you hear a joke, but for the most part they are just rehashed jokes that aren't funny.

I get exactly what u mean. Like sometimes jokes are haha funny but majority of the time it's just someone trying to get a raise out of everyone. 99% of people i meet are very sweet !! but sometimes it's that odd person. U just gotta get used to it. Hope u r doing well 💪💪

Yeah, I know what you mean. There were a disgusting number of racist comments on the video of those guys murdering that jogger with a shotgun

Is there a way to apply as a mod to help quash these edgelords?

I agree with everything said.

i don't worry about trolls. i worry about the day the owners decide to monetize and my screen becomes a porn cesspool.

I think what you are saying is fair enough, but I am also noticing a lot of comments that are just making jokes about the situation, not necessarily laughing at the victim, being downvoted to oblivion when it never used to happen. It goes both ways. But it also comes with the territory regardless. Expand the mod team and establish clear rules (which has been done I believe) is the easiest solution.

its the opposite

Ik this is late, but thank you guys for your efforts. This site would be totally unbearable if it was just people cheering on for death and torture ..

"Man dies in China and NOBODY CARES, WHAT A TERRIBLE COUNTRY" x100

Like Jesus, we can even see these goofballs who reported the post. Way to out yourselves guys. Can we all remain mature? There's always a bunch of kids who come to these communities and fuck everything up.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I haven't seen many "edge lords" around, but when I do, just ignore it, why take to heart, just chill out, let them write their comments, don't react (upvote/ downvote) and one day they will realise that nobody cares and that they are talking to themselves, just be natural, keep your head low.

Friendly reminder that people with dumb or controversial opinions are not necessarily edgelords. The best thing we can all do for the community is to remember intent when we read commentary and participate. If you see something that doesn’t sit right with you- report the comment, vote, and / or reply.

I like learning about all the human Body's any comment I make is bot too seriously me.

It’s crazy to me that people try to make edgy comments when it could be their father, brother, sister, or friend in the video. Karma is real. They’re making fun of something on the internet, not knowing that it could have been them posted on this site.

Completely agree, thank you for this reminder to the community :))

Let’s be honest. It’s getting really fucking old seeing adult men talk like pussies.

I agree

The way I look at it, without bad people, we can’t appreciate good people

While I agree with you, I'd be lying if i haven't said (Close) to stuff like this, Shit, I only comment and most of my comments are Small jokes based of the video, I definitely agree with you with certain users who are just edgy to be edgy (He Totally Deserved It,Etc) And to be Racist and stuff like that need to be taken down, Not Someone cracking a small joke, People being Overly Edgy/Racist.

Sorry If I Repeated Myself...

I mean, this kind of subject matter is always going to be a magnet for those kinds of people. It's nothing new.

It's just whatever. I don't even notice it anymore.

this guy said morb

I’m triggered

No tho

www.reddit.com is that a-way 👉

Your pretty stupid guy this long rant for nothing ur anger should be directed at whoever filmed all these murders, accidents and/or uploaded with no remorse for the grieving families not the people that stumbled upon the video one night

just ignore them. Nothing else to do

Buddy you’re on a site whose only purpose is for people to spend their free time watching strangers suffer and die for their own sick amusement, and you’re pearl-clutching about edginess? You have an account here! You have hung around enough to make assessments about a tonal shift in the commentary here! It is literally impossible to be edgier than you already are!

there is nothing wrong with edgy users
