First an announcement: While modbot seemed like a good idea at the time, it's proved to be unpopular with members. From now on we'll be using it only for admin posts, so that they can be edited by all members of the mod team.


We know that some members have had issues with the community and the mod team, and felt like they couldn't bring them to our attention. Here is your chance. If you've got a question, concern or suggestion about Scans Daily, here's where you can post it.

This post will be linked to in our profile, and checked regularly by the mods. Comments won't be screened, so you can suggest amongst yourselves.

Excellent point. Not bloody many. I understand; I've left many a community because it's tiresome to hear 'whoa, whoa, whoa, down, superbitch' when you disagree with the community's fannish population on whether or not this writer or that writer is actually any good.

Still, the situation is hypothetical. I could have chosen a better example, I suppose, but I've been reading up on old Selina Kyle posts here lately, so prostitution and whorephobia has been heavy on my mind.

The underlying point is that once you're saddled with a label of 'privileged', 'ist' or 'phobic', it's seems like it's pretty much impossible to respond in any way without drawing someone's ire, unless it's an apology.

An apology is absolutely called for in such instances, but if that's the only allowed response, that makes the apology itself seem somewhat hollow, I think.
