Why does nothing happen to grey faced trolls here?

NocturnalDevotion:
Any time I’ve been trolled by nasty grey faces who contribute nothing to the website (no photo, no stories, no personal information) the most the mods do is delete the comment. I don’t get why bans aren’t given out more often to people who are just here to destroy the community. I have to say one time Cookie did give someone a week ban after they harassed me multiple times,but still. I think they should have been permanently banned, especially since I cancelled my upgrade due to it.

Why they want to drive out contributors and have people cancel premium memberships in favor of grey face trolls who are probably here for the sole reason of causing trouble is beyond me.


Not a clue. Part of the reason I interact with people on this site the way I do is because I know that I'm the only person that will protect me. There have, unfortunately, been times with the powers that be declined to act certain levels of bigotry because it doesn't break the site rules.

This isn't to say that they do nothing. If it's egregious enough, they'll come in and smack the offending parties. But for microaggressions or more "minor" offenses? They'll get a stern talking to.

But who knows? Maybe, if enough people make a stink about it, they'll revisit how they moderate the site.

Maybe.

Deep fryers? worth it?

XxxYyy:
I feel a dedicated deep fryer in the home is usually unnecessary unless you’re going to be using it for large events (which you stated you wouldn’t be). As long as you have a stovetop, a good pan, and a spider and/or tongs. You should be good to do all your frying without special equipment. It’ll also help save a bit on oil.

The pan you use is definitely important though. For deep frying I’d recommend a moderately tall pot. You want a pot that can hold a lot of oil and is tall enough that you won’t have to worry about it spilling or splashing out much. But at the same time, you don’t want the pan to be so tall that it’s awkward to put things in or take them out of the pan. This video () at about 4:10 is a pretty good example of what kind of pan you’d want to be using for deep frying.

Essentially, a deep fryer is akin to a pop-corn machine or a hot dog roller. It’s great if you need to cook in bulk or plan on using it very, very often. But it’s not very efficient for small quantities and probably not be a good investment for the vast majority of everyday home-use.


I also want to add that if you have a deep enough cast iron skillet or pot, then you can just use that.

Hate the latest changes to the website

Hiccupx:
Oh, and unfortunately we don't have a test team like Microsoft, but we do try to get the fixes out as soon as we can. We rely on members pointing out bugs, so even though it can be hard to hear when we've screwed up, please do keep pointing them out because it helps us improve the site (I really mean it).

Doublefrosted:
Might I suggest allowing a small group of regular website users be given the option to test new changes and features and provide user feedback before you make them live for everyone? User experience testing for a website like this is critical for any significant changes involving how the website is displayed and navigated. Accessibility in particular needs to be tested given the demographic this website caters to.


Beta testers would be amazing. They are truly a must-have for any kind of user interface. I'm sure there are plenty of willing participants. It would also be good to get a mix of people - from tech-savvy to normies.

Maximizing capacity

18222:
About to do a big stuffing soon, what are some ways I can prepare to maximize my capacity?


Every day, I would eat until you are comfortably stuffed and then eat a bit more. These do not need to be high-calorie foods, as the focus is on capacity, not weight gain.

You should also be more active during these days because it will make you hungrier than normal. That way, you'll eat even more.

Don't be afraid to do liquid bloats as well.

I'm not sure how soon you'll be doing the stuffing, but I would do this at least a week or two before your stuffing.

Got to vent a little

More frustration than harm...


I said what I said.

I recommended you look into this the last time we spoke. It seems you did not heed my advice.

Bellylover23:
Not sure why I keep coming back to this site and to Feabie. Guess this fetish does more harm than good to me. Considering leaving it all behind


If it's causing you that much harm, I would recommend seeking a therapist.
