I’m trying to revamp the moderation over at my site, Rachel’s Tavern. As I frequently mention, I get many racism apologists, unorganized white supremacists, organized white supremacists, and colorblind racists stopping through my site. Once they are combined with the random misogynists and general bigots, I have about a million haters.<\/p>\n
I was thinking about doing the same thing as Amp does with threads that are open only to feminist and feminist friendly posters only applying it to race instead. Maybe I could do threads open only to anti-racists or anti-racist friendly posters. I realize that many regular commenters get frustrated and scared away when too many of these racism apologists\/white supremacists\/colorblind racists start coming around. It is frustrating because that is the desired effect of these haters–to shut this site down and scare people away. I am happy that at this point I have a bunch of spunky commenters who take these people on, especially since I can’t be sitting around at every moment responding to all of them.<\/p>\n
But what do you think?<\/p>\n
Certainly, one of the problems I’m going to face is that nobody ever thinks that they are a racism apologist\/white supremacist\/color blind racist, so I might have to change the wording. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
I’m also curious how well people think the feminist only\/profeminists threads work here at Alas. Do you think it works?<\/p>\n
I should note that I am not making any suggestions for changing Alas. This is for my site Rachel’s Tavern, but I feel it would be nice to see what others think about how this has worked over here at Alas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
