Hi! I'm not sure if you're the right editor to ask this, but I figure you might know the right people :)
We've had a lot of posts about weight, media and weight, etc, and in those posts, many, many commenters are sharing numbers and sizes. Most of these comments are not helpful, and several have included things like I thought I looked disgusting at this weight or that weight looked horrible, just very negative things. When other commenters have posted asking for no numbers to be included several commenters on multiple comments have flat out refused.
Is it possible we could have a refresher course on commenting and remind people of some of the rules that seem to have fallen a bit on the wayside in the wake of the redesign.
Thank you!
Can we PLEASE! Have Jezebel After Dark back? It was awesome! There are several mentions in each weekends open threads about where it went and how much everybody enjoyed it. If lack of topics was a main factor in stopping, I'm pretty sure there are several commenters who have suggestions.
Dodai:
I feel like attention should be paid to the proliferation of casually anti Semitic comments in the Mel/Winona post you made yesterday. SO MANY people were saying "oh, Hollywood is controlled by the Jews, how could he have worked?" and people responding, basically, "well Jews love money!" - It's disgusting. It's continuous, and very little was said to refute it. Please, I don't know if there's a Jewish presence within the staff of Jezebel, but that kind of anti Semitism is both more prevalent and more insidious than Mel's kind.
It was not body snarking to ask if Madonna had had work done. That photo doesn't even look like her. I don't appreciate having my question censored, moved and labeled body snarking. How rude! And Censorship sucks.
I'm disappointed that my comment was'nt promoted regarding Diana Agron's response to the outcry regarding Terry Richardson's GQ "Porny" Glee Photoshoot. I would have liked to see any comment made making the point about the reprehensible portrayal of teen girls being overtly sexual in a MENS magazine (regardless of the ages of the people hired to do it), a point no one else seems to be making (or perhaps their comments are being supressed as well?). I know you are not the one responsible for promoting all comments made on your posts -- I just wish it would have been considered part of the conversation. Just putting it out there.
I would like to know how and why you altered my post in the Heidi's Near-Death Experience; The Jolie-Pitts' Secret Cave article. If editors can go in and alter the posts of those who post on this website, than that clearly calls into question the integrity of Jezebel and its content.
So somebody piped up and told me about how Consumerist was bought out, and I dig it.
My question is, if that's so, why can I see my Consumerist comments on my Jezebel profile, and vice versa? And why can I only add people back from there--Gawker, Jezebel, and io9 do not show the hearts when I go to my Followers page to return the heart request, only Consumerist. It's a strange glitch.
Hey, thanks for changing the Katy Perry/Rihanna holiday item in the Dirt Bag today - I didn't think anyone would even notice my comment and then went back to read the other comments on the post and it had been amended, and I was like "Woohoo!" That was awesome. It's just over a month till I'll be in Barbados -- be jealous Dodai, be very jealous!
Bravo! I spent a few minutes typing a post railing against the decision of removing the posts and just when I took a breath in order to formulate my next sentence; I got it! April Fools! But girl y'all had me going and it was going to be such poignant post. Bravo
