Third Foot Thread?
So I noticed that 3 threads got locked (and one thread apparently deleted) in the OVP. I understand some of the rules state they don't want particularly personal treads-however in a way I felt that this thread could bring quite an interesting discussion. Fetishes don't always need to be sexual, and I wanted to reply to it regarding them in general- I thought it was interesting enough not to merit a close. It's unfortunate that conduct within the thread got out of hand, but as a concept I didn't see it as being so bad.. especially the last one:
"So we can all pretty much agree that feet are great. I mean, there's really no room for debate there. But how many of us actually take the time to stop and notice a nice pair of feet while say, sitting in class, or out for a walk in the park? __________________" I wanted to reply that: "To be honest, I've been paying attention to feet and shoes more because I'm an artist. I notice that when doing sketches from life, people often focus more on the upper body. I've been trying to focus on the way the ankle is viewed and the way shoes form over the feet to get a better understanding of perspective. It's in no way sexual, and only very educational." I feel like.. yeah at least for me.. especially during the summer when I'm waiting in line for stuff.. I notice the colour of someone's toes.. or if their heels are cracked. But most importantly their shoes. I find it interesting that we feel the need to adorn our feet in this country.. whereas many countries where there is desertland don't pay their feet any regard. Just wondering if it really needed to go so far as to be locked when the real issue was just some of the members' comments within that thread. And it definitely did not merit a deletion. My opinion. |
I love you, first of all.
And I agree entirely. I do like feet, they are a body part. I also like cheeks. :) However, I was really concerned when I found out that foot fetishes could potentially be unhealthy. |
Thank you Kura. I agree completely and wholeheartedly. That was bad moderation, to say the least.
|
The only thing wrong with the thread is that the same people were replying stupidly over and over again. I think that was ultimately its downfall. But I saw nothing wrong with the topic at hand either. My two cents.

EDIT: Sorry, I should stay on topic. I feel like feet are a genuinely under appreciated body part, as long as someone can stay hygienic then I have no problem with feet. EDIT2: Furthermore, I agree with an artist perspective. Feet are an interesting body part, and when I see a piece of work and it shows skin (not necessarily a nude picture) I think it's beautiful. The human body is amazing and paintings, drawings, anything of it interest me. |
imo I think that if the same person who replied to the other two foot fetish threads which got locked and who just happened to make another foot-related thread within 10 minutes then generally chances are the user in question isn't aiming for any discussion.

If a mod deletes a thread in their section, the appropriate response is not to create another. If you wanted to have a mature thread on fetishes, then fine, but we all know from the nine responses the first thread got that that was too much for you to handle.
The fetish idea is dead. If you continue to make stupid threads in my section, I will deal with you accordingly. Also, creating CQ&F threads to highlight what you feel is "bad modding" is also not the way to go. This ends now. |

The fetish is most certainly not a dead idea. And SR, I'm sorry but, CQ&F is exactly how to go about things. It's feedback about the forums. We believe you made a wrong decision and we decided to bring it up. It's called speaking out against those who act without proper reason. |

I dont mean this as a jab or anything to Raichu. I think he's awesome and a good mod, but I was looking forward to posting in that thread and I'm a bit sad that I can't because of a different choice of moderation is all. It's not really -your- section.. as everyone is entitled to post there, you just happen to look over it. I think more threads were created as to shoo the topic away into something more general (fetishes in general and their regards to health) and then an attempt for something non-sexual (do you look at people's feet a lot?) So I don't see a problem with these attempts to try and make the thread into something acceptable. So is it possible for one of the threads to be reopened? Or is it already too late? |

Though, me replying to you here isn't going to get me anywhere. You'll all just go do it again. :) |

And btw Nica, it's bodily functions that aren't allowed to be discussed. Foot fetishes aren't really a bodily function, so it would have been fine either way. |
Although I can admit I was posting childishly, I was not trolling. I'm interested in knowing what other members think about feet. I miss when I could post back in PC jokingly and everyone would understand that people were joking or poking fun. If the staff was upset with my way of posting why did I not receive a message stating that I should post topics more relevant to the thread?

And if a member finds an issue with a mod's judgment...is this not the place discuss such an issue? |

The point of CQ&F encompasses issues we see with moderation that could've been taken a different way. It offers suggestions to issues and it brings to light a different perspective on the choice of a action that I, as a member, didn't agree with. Why would you deem this thread as something that was unnecessary when it brings to light some valid points on something to keep in mind the next time something like this happens? |
If you have a problem with my modding, you come to me. If you don't like the outcome of that, go to H-staff. As Sydian said, there is no need to make everything public.
|
The thing is, the issue was addressed. TO the moderator. By two members. One member was effectively ignored, the other was talked down to. Sure the latter was being silly, but the fact of the matter is, it was addressed.
In my honest completely irrelevant opinion, this thread is 100% okay. |

The title of this forum contains the word "feedback." And, that's what we're doing...giving feedback. |

I VM'd Shining Raichu my opinion, stated my justification for my post, and did not receive a reply. If I have FEEDBACK is this not the forum to post it in?
EDIT: Furthermore, I did not publicize any of my problems with specific people. I continued to state my own opinion. |
This is a feedback section. If you want feedback to be private and not public, do not have a feedback forum. Having a feedback forum in this case is just a nuisance and bad organization on the staff's part. It is in no way a fault of the members. Why don't you tell the higher staff to delete this section?
I also feel that members should have the right to post in a way that addresses the situation publicly so that all members of the forum can see it. Surpressing public feedback is almost like regulating a nation's news channel and preventing spread of "defamatory" broadcasts. It is like running a corrupt nation, I think. |

If a mod has an issue with public complaints, then he should rethink his position. With great power comes great responsibility. |

We're talking about 3 threads here, not just one.. and these 3 threads involved more than just me and you. That's why I thought it was completely fine to bring up the discussion here where not only me and you could have input. I figured that the others would want to have a say since they were the ones acting out and creating it.. so why deal with it separately when we can bring it all to one place? Basically I agree with this: Quote:
