Lately, I have been seeing many threads put up about people hurting children. I dont open them but the titles are really getting me really depressed. It just seems like too much at once, I guess.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Right, same with the animal cruelty threads. It just seems like there is so much of them lately..not like before? Or am I just finally paying attention now?
 
yessss that's why i made "where are" threads. I don't open any threads that relates with children or animals or any people that i don't need to know the details. what is the point for me to be sad to hear about others. i know outside there is really SICKO. :(

yes. I do not bother opening it. I avoid most of it and I don't have a stomach for it especially animal cruelty. a lot of ADers were abused in their early childhood life and they know what's it like so I don't really see why those kind of horrible news are needed to be posted in here. why relive the nightmare?

yes yes we know the world's cruel and the comments are always same - "omg wtf sick!!! i hope they fry him/her!!"

just my 4 cents :2c::2c:

I have a 3 year old so whenever I read titles like these, it makes me more nervous for him. I had a bad dream last night that someone hurted him.

:grouphug: Although I don't have a kid of my own but the more I see these kind of news, the more it eats away my soul bit by bit. That's why I can't stand watching horror movies. I don't watch much tv either.
 
Yes, I've noticed the same thing, I've cleaned up several of such threads. I am working with another moderators on this matter. Hopefully this will be toned down and resolve in the meantime.

Thanks

I didnt know if it was "Freedom of Speech" and people have rights to post whatever they want. I just thought it was too much at once...like I was being bombarded with it. Thanks!

Yes it is freedom of speech, but it has been quite excessive which needs to be toned down. :)
 
Sort of like the Obama sucks-Obama lied-Obama is wrong-Obama looked at a girl's ass-we are going in the toilet thanks to Obama-topics were going wild as well.
 
I also would love to see this issue of disturbing posts cleaned up. It's why I haven't posted here in a month. I can find these disturbing titles anywhere else online. I would love to come to AllDeaf and post about deaf-related things and some other general chat, and not get bombarded with disturbing titles about cruelty to children and animals. There's no way to avoid seeing these titles when clicking on New Posts or Today's Posts, even if I don't read the posts themselves (which I refuse -- just seeing the titles is enough!) There are a select few posters that have seemingly gone out of their way to post these disturbing titles and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one this bothers. Thank you for all your efforts, mods. :)

this is no magic. I had to click on the thread without reading it and click on the new posts. so it will disappear till someone post it then it will come back.

Oh yea...I know what you mean. :)

I must say I agree here and I don't even agree with everything Obama does.
