Go to bat for the "Helpless" people in the "Neighborhood Watch"
Worth doing!
Gavel whacked — 3 months ago
I’ve read a few posts hither and thither suggesting the NW folks are big stinky judgers, and I just wanted to shake that off a bit.
I started putting in Neighborhood Watch time after several people defended me when I came up on the chopping block (a couple of times I gather – thank-you!), and I stayed on, both to defend other genuine users and to help clean up some of the garbage on the site (spam, scams, ads, hackers, crackers, racism, etc.) but I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt unless it’s a blatent violation of the site terms. If you want to be a werewolf… power to you. I did vote the nasty boner guy down though. Ew.
I understand the concern – I have seen comments & votes that I’d debate, but that’s why the more people that spend a few minutes weeding and defending the better. You really have to look carefully.
The extra cheers are a nice touch too. I like cheering on the unjustly accused. I might also wear a long, tightly curled white wig while I’m doing it, but I’ll never say. (whacking gavel down hard)
