This is feedback for the app/mobile version of Ferzu. I noticed when I first joined through the mobile version of the website, no official rules for the platform seemed to have been visible outside of the usual legal disclaimers and the legal TOS agreements. (Something I may have missed perhaps?)

I was a bad thevius raccoonis and had posted art not belonging to me or having been credited to the original artist. I'm fairly new to the community and wasn't thinking about the artist at the time. After having been called out on it by other users I was able to rectify the issue and take down the art in favor of my own doodles.

In the full version of the website the Rules are located just above and to the left of Messages. Is there a way to add this "top bar" to the mobile/app version? Maybe this can be added at the bottom of the page?

The meat of my feedback is to just make the rules more accessible to those who may not have the option of visiting a desktop computer. There are many who 'police' the site but I feel adding this feature may just reduce the amount of tickets you receive.

Grokio Team will discriminate you if your gender is male, by their own admission. I have been the target of hate/harassment by extremist trolls that infest the community (reported by many), which I denounced to the staff. Not only the staff refused to investigate them, but they banned me for 1 week for posting a rant about women, in which the worst I said was that they were "cruel". I protested with Grokio staff for this gross injustice, from censorship to receive a 1 week ban when the real heavy offenders I denounced were left untouched.

Since I never received such unfair treatment by the staff of any community it became evident to me, also by the wording they were using, that I was discriminated by Grokio staff because of my gender, which they finally openly admitted. I quote them: "Men are not a protected group and have run society for thousands of years. Therefore misandry is not against our hate speech rules".

In conclusion, if you are a man and are the target of harassment/hate, Grokio staff won't do anything because they think you deserve to be punished because of your gender. This is the reason why black squads of LGBT trolls infest the site and their harassment/hate is not punished, like many reported here. Grokio team is on their side. On the other hand, if you are a man and you dare to say anything negative about women, even just that they are "cruel", you'll get banned immediately and treated like trash by Grokio team.

The paradox is that big part of the earnings of this company come from men! The gender discrimination I suffered was not from some random angry support person, but from the co-founder of the company (at least the person I interacted with qualified as such). Discriminating people based on their gender is not just a terrible community practice, but it's against civil rights.

I have photographic proof of what I said, in case it's required.

I want to say something that you may not like very much. Though I do realize what this site is for and that you must get feedback from people outside the community saying that this is all terrible, etc. I'm not trying to do that here.

What I DO want to do, though, is have people who are CONSIDERING becoming gainers be a bit better informed. You say in the Gainer FAQ:

Isn't gaining unhealthy?
Sure, so is driving a car, living in North Philadelphia, rock climbing and taking Tylenol. But seriously, gainers who choose to put on weight assume some health risks, but there are ways to gain weight while maintaining relative health and fitness. For some gainers, the idea of becoming unhealthy or even immobile is part of the fantasy. For most, staying healthy while growing bigger is a priority.

BUT NO, gaining -- in the years I have been doing it -- is NOT like driving a car. I am not addicted to driving a car. I may "need" to drive a car in order to get to work or to see people I love or to buy food. But I do not need to gain or get fat.

However, what is true is that I am addicted to gaining. This is not just my opinion. There is research on the subject:

"What Cookies and Meth Have in Common"
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/30/opinion/sunday/what-cookies-and-meth-have-in-common.html

What is true is that over the years I have become more and more addicted to gaining.

Not because I WANT to get fat. But because stuffing myself and overeating while jerking off has become something I have gradually become more and more addicted to.

You say nothing about this dark side of gaining, ANYWHERE. It all sounds no more dangerous... than driving a car.

But it isn't, my friends. You can check my most recent post to see how I feel about this.

I think you have a moral obligation to update your FAQ, just a tad. To reveal that yes, you can get addicted to overeating and stuffing yourself.

Honestly, I doubt you will make this change. Because it isn't in your interest to do so. You can argue -- as those who say that climate change isn't real -- that the information in the recent NYT article is just one doctor's opinion. And point to Professor Fatology who is a psychologist and a gainer, to show someone who says that getting fat can be healthy and good for someone's self-esteem.

I am not here to put an end to Grommr, nor to tell you to stop promoting gaining.

I just want you to be more inclusive of the fact that this stuff ISN'T like driving a car.

I don't know if this is a site specific issue, but on Grommr the standards of moderating - in terms of not only removal of inappropriate images, but also the handling of complaints and reports and general enforcement of rules, has completely nosedived since the sister-sites came into being.

Grommr is a huge community, and understandably the scant few moderators with real powers (as opposed to the ability to just flag stuff) are overworked. New members need to be added to the moderation team in order to ease the workload and enforce the site rules properly.

Too many times are issues that are clearly against the site rules: (http://grommr-blog.tumblr.com/post/40284818823/the-10-grommandments) glaxes over or not treated with the appropriate level of investigation by the current moderators - because they do not have the time or energy, it seems, to investigate issues fully or do not have all of the information due to particular issues being regionally specific etc.

In order to ease the workload of an overburdened moderator group, and also to increase efficiency and responce times, I suggest promoting members the moderators can trust to full moderator status or at least give them the power to actually enforce the rules rather than simply refer issues. A more visible moderator presence wouldn't go astray either - when the site first started out the Grommr account would get involved in calming discussions and intervening in conflicts where necessary, but this doesn't happen anymore and I think the community's worse off for having that occasional guiding hand. If you're not comfortable with givign access to the grommr 'admin' account, then create a secondary 'Grommoderator' shared account instead or something for moderators to use when they're getting involved with public disputes etc.
