  1. Submitting reports and telling me that users are posting content without permission,
    without providing any proof to me that users are posting content without permission,
    is not helpful!

    That's what the DMCA is for, and why the DMCA has strict procedures that must be followed, from the copyright owner. Not some rando keyboard jockey hiding in their bedroom on the fediverse.

    Otherwise,
    anybody can report any content from any user on any instance that they don't like.

    What a dystopian world that will create!

    If you don't like someone's content,
    block & move on!

    If the content is violating OUR POLICIES,
    report, block, and move on!


    It's not rocket science, people!


    Otherwise, all you've done is pushed me to ignore all future reports from your instance. (It's a setting in Sharkey. I'll never see your reports.)

    Don't be a dick.

    Effective immediately we are no longer accepting
    #abuse #reports from https://kinkycats.org due to a pattern of reports for behavior that clearly does not violate our #rules, and frankly probably doesn't violate the rules of other instances as well.

    Therefore, effective
    immediately, any future abuse reports will be silently #discarded and #ignored by https://nsfw.social. We won't even see them.

    #Fedi users can still report abusive behavior by any of our users by emailing [email protected].

    Abuse reports should only be used to report actual abusive behavior that is
    #disrupting the experience of others on the #fediverse. Not to try to get one of our users suspended or banned simply because they do something you do not like.

    We will not tolerate users of other instances using the "Report" feature to
    #target, #harass, or #intimidate one of our users (or us).

    Newsflash, I get every single report sent-in to nsfw.social and I have zero tolerance for bullshit from my users and especially from others.

    You don't like a users' content? Be an adult and block them and move on.

  25. The weaponization of user #reports on here is appalling.

    I've got two users on one of my instances who frankly aren't doing anything wrong that get absolutely FLOODED with user reports against them. The latest one is that one of the users is "obviously a bot" because they post "AI pictures" but here's the thing... they aren't posting AI pictures. I can see the full-size images they are posting before cropping them and there is no way in the world they are AI images because there's a goddamn embedded timestamp from the digital camera used to take the pictures along one edge.

    Had another report that one of my users is "following over 7000 people" and posting meaningless replies to people.

    Except, they're not following anywhere near 7000 people, and I've looked at every one of their posts and there's not anything automated about any of them and they are engaging with people just like anyone else would and are receiving replies and reactions to their posts (and comments) just like anyone else does.

    All I gotta say is thank god
    #Sharkey allows me to basically #ignore user reports from specific #instances because I don't have the time or the patience to deal with someone that has an axe to grind or wants to see someone kicked off for the hell of it.

    I think the fact that both of the women are self-described lesbians probably has more to do with things (and the harassment targeting them).

  33. 1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.

    2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a
    #SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.

    3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as
    #NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.

    4. Another report without any basis or
    #justification.

    5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.

    So here's what's going to happen....

    The instances that forwarded these
    #bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.

    Strike three and we tell
    #Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.

    No
    #admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.

    But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.

    You have to give us proof and evidence.

    This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.

    But if you just suspect someone
    might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!

  40. Reminder that nsfw.social has a zero tolerance policy for CSAM/ CSEM. If we encounter CSAM in your account, or if we receive a report of CSAM in your account, we have no choice but to take swift and decisive action.

    Do not upload any CSAM. Full stop.

    If you think the subject might be underage, err on the side of caution and don't post it.

    Here's what happens when one of your uploads matches known or suspected CSAM:

    1. The URL to your image is automatically blocked.
    2. A report is automatically generated and sent to the NCMEC.
    3. We are notified.
    4. We then must take steps to preserve the evidence attached to the image/ file that was posted. This includes preserving all metadata and logs associated with the file.
    5. We will delete your upload.
    6. We will suspend your account.

    There is no appeal. There are no "3 strikes". There is one (1) strike. If we receive a report on your account, that's it.

    There's no debate.

    This is not censorship.

  41. Reminder that nsfw.social has a zero tolerance policy for CSAM/ CSEM. If we encounter CSAM in your account, or if we receive a report of CSAM in your account, we have no choice but to take swift and decisive action.

    Do not upload any CSAM. Full stop.

    If you think the subject might be underage, err on the side of caution and don't post it.

    Here's what happens when one of your uploads matches known or suspected CSAM:

    1. The URL to your image is automatically blocked.
    2. A report is automatically generated and sent to the NCMEC.
    3. We are notified.
    4. We then must take steps to preserve the evidence attached to the image/ file that was posted. This includes preserving all metadata and logs associated with the file.
    5. We will delete your upload.
    6. We will suspend your account.

    There is no appeal. There are no "3 strikes". There is one (1) strike. If we receive a report on your account, that's it.

    There's no debate.

    This is not censorship.
