Mama, take this badge from me I can't use it
This is actually the second draft to this. This is the first time that I have ever done a second draft. I usually just rattle something off and present it as is. I may do some proofreading or clarify some things, but usually these things are visceral. Why is there a second draft? Well, because half way through, I realized I was writing a bunch of horseshit. What do you do with horseshit? You click, drag, and delete it. I didn't realize I was typing rubbish until I got to a certain point. That's when the truth of why I resigned finally hit me. Some of you have heard my complaints and reason for leaving. I wasn't lying to you. I was just holding back something not only from you but myself. It's impossible to speak the truth when you are in denial yourself.
In the very first hour of reviewing I came across some vile u******e material. This was not kind of u******e material that busybodies wring their hands over, The photos which aren't appropriate here, but would be fine anywhere else: k**s in a background in a public place or a photo of a k** with a funny description under the bottom are good examples. No, This was hardcore nude porn. The kind of porn that you call the FBI about.
So, what did I do? I hit the the favorite button to track the uploader and hit u******e on the panel. That was about it. That was all I could do. That is the problem. When I went to my favorites, they were deleted. I had no idea who did it or what if anything that happened. These photos were treated in the same manner that copyright and zoo hentai photos are. Copyright and Hentai are not crimes in themselves. They just aren't allowed here. They are allowed elsewhere, but not here. These c***d photos are not allowed anywhere because they in themselves ARE a crime. A c***d's life is not ruined running along the beach from the cops with a caption under it reading: Fuck tha' police. What I saw caused damage and those two c***dren are still feeling the damage.
Seeing these photos were very upsetting and the results of my correct actions were unsatisfying. This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. It was very upsetting. It's one thing to imagine something and quite another to actually see it. As far as I know the uploader's account is still open. The authorities will not be notified and he will more than likely do it again. If I have to go through the sickening experience of having to see this vile garbage, I want steps taken that make sure that the party responsible won't do it again. I did what I was supposed to do, but I feel the site didn't. The site dealt with these photos as if they were inappropriate content. These photos were not inappropriate content they were CRIMINAL content.
One of the main reasons I volunteered to do this was to get rid of crap like this. But, with the way the system is set up, it's never going to happen. Why? Because there really are no consequences to the uploaders. What was the punishment? They got there photos taken down. What's to stop them from taking the same photos and reposting them? There is nothing to stop him. So, what's the point? Anyone could have done what I did. So, why not just turn in my badge and let just anyone do it? The same nothing result occurs whether I'm here or not. It seems like my services are rather disposable and replaceable. There are plenty of people waiting in line to take my place. I'll just let them.
There has to be a certain satisfaction in a job if I want to do it. That's what this was. I looked at it as a job. When I worked I never liked the job, but I liked the money. That was my satisfaction. This was a volunteer job. If I volunteer for something it's to help and make a difference. I didn't feel like I did. I also didn't see myself ever really making much of a difference.
The fact that I saw this in my first hour tells me that this is a problem. The silver lining in this is the fact that I have never seen anything like this in the public at large. That tells me that the reviewers slaving away in their panels are getting the job done when it comes to this and for that I thank them. The people running this site is another story. From what I have seen and heard this is the best that can be done. When I see a problem, I want a solution. Continuously deleting photos from the same uploaders time and time again is simply treating a symptom. It's not solving anything.
Post script. Yes, I know the lyrics, but they chopped off the word "Anymore".
