Yeddai petition to end harassment

YEDDAI PETITION TO END HARASSMENT We, the undersigned Yeddai, hereby publicly petition Yedda.com to allow us to protect ourselves from cyber-stalking and public harassment. We insist that certain changes be made to the site: 1) People posting questions will have the ability to delete all responses at their discretion. 2) People answering questions will have the ability to delete any replies directed at them at their discretion. 3) The thumbs ranking system will be overhauled in one or more of several ways: a) Only the person asking the question can apply thumbs up or down. b) All thumbs down must be accompanied by a reason posted to the moderator. c) Abolishment of the thumbs rating system altogether. If no progress is made in meeting our demands by March 15, 2009, we will cease contact with the site. Signers, please keep your remarks brief. Discussion is open on this petition at this blog: http://yedda.com/questions/Anti-harassment_petition_discussion_6279918761790/

Love is the battery of life....

ProfitBob my friend, ------- I am in complete agreemant with you. However I am not sure it will help. To destroy something is always easier than to build (that's a law in Thermodynamics). They who want to destroy will find original ways to do it. By the way, right now, there is a massive attack on my "thumbs up" account.... within the last hour I received 20 thumbs down..... Untill you'll read my notes, it will go down more..... -------- Best personal regards,

Hi Chucho, Can you explain a little more about what you are envisioning? Maybe a little more detail/information. I am a little fuzzy about what you are saying, but, it sounds promising. Elena P.S. Thanks for the friend invite/contact! :)

If my kids have a good life, I will be happy

First, I'm sure there's a way to securely register people; so that they can only have one entity. Next, eliminate the thumbs, for a star rating; that can't be removed. The star application would also show the person giving the rating. I think that a counsel of "Elders" would be great (Made up of people who have answered a certain amount of questions); but I think that it would make this more of a chore; rather than a nice place to visit.

Any ideas?

I am in.  I sign.  I am tired of nutz like Shortcake/Sparky/Dawg.  They really ruin a good thing.  I ignore as much as possible but the time has come to do something drastic. 

No counsel, just honesty and if someone is found to be dishonest and underhanded then ban them from Yedda.

If they ban together to hurt people, Yedda needs to ban them.  3 strikes you are out.

This is insanity and they have so many names and logos you don't know who is who.  Only one name, only one logo.  You change you forfeit the old name and logo and it is published for all to see.

New logo/icon old one exposed.

No mistaking who is who anymore.

This thumbs stuff has got to stop.

I have not been a member that long and it has been difficult to avoid these people.  They find someone and hound them.  Last night alone I recieved 36 thumbs and lost everyone of them within a few minutes.  Sparky is filthy and I can not understand why she is allowed on the site.  I turned her in.

I would like once again to thank you all for posting.  I consider this to be a very strong show of support.  I didn't add up the numbers, but I think this group is responsible for over twenty-five thousand answers on Yedda.  It does contain the highest ranked and most active Yeddai in the community, plus a number newer members who have already experienced some of the pitfalls of the Yedda rating system, and lack of barriers to harassment.

We all have valid grievances with the system as it is operating now, and we think it is time for the powers-that-be of Yedda to address them in a serious manner.  Yaniv, co-founder of Yedda, is having a dialogue about some of the issues under another question blog http://yedda.com/questions/Yedda_abused_Terms_Feedback_7351091473153/answer7353891677193

He still hasn't said anything to change my mind about leaving, but I am holding on to hope.

Again, thank you all for your support.  Together we may make a difference and a more pleasant Yedda for everybody.

Thank you for what you are doing.  It is greatly appreciated.  This Sparky uses the foulest language and gets away with it.  I am a soldier but she is worse than any soldier I ever met. 

Then this Dawg, he seemed OK then he started with all kinds of things and he accused me, George, Jude and others of being 7 or 8 people.

I am good at recon and getting to the bottom of things and I did my research.  All the threads are out there.  Anyway I am not going to be run off, I do serious thoughts on my posts and I should have known better than to allow them to get me caught up in their craziness.

I believe I will just post and go like I was doing.

Your good people.  I have given up on the thumbs I know for a fact this Sparky and Dawg are doing it, they have admitted as much and laughed about it.

Guess when we get this many people together we can expect this.

Thanks again,

Cpt Rep

Be Blessed.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.  

Thank you profitbob for your dedication and support...... Be Blessed

PBob... We are right there with you. No one wants to be subjected to the garbage that these folks are throwing around. I think everyone who has posted on this question genuinely wants to help others and learn as well AND they want to do it in peace. Elena

Thanks Bob,

I think everyone here has had some good ideas, and it seems that Yaniv and staff are keeping up with this thread. I also know that the people that are responsible for us all being here are watching too. I hope that they see our concerns, and know that we ALL want a good place to come to help others, have conversation on all subject matter, have opinions and just some plain old fun.  I did not come here to make enemies or cause anyone grief, as I know you all didn't either.

Have a great night everyone and enjoy your Yedda.

George~

Thanks to everyone here for sharing a little of yourselves with me. I respect one and all of you....Two thumbs kids!!!
