.com letting negative posts through now???

Though the fora are still pretty much useless due to the LOOOOOOONG time tied up with moderation, are things getting a bit better over there?

Anyways, Pencro supposedly collected the last payment and collected their 15% but didn't get the borrower "caught up" now this month chances are another 15% goes to Pencro........ Something doesn't seem right with this...... I am glad that I stopped lending on Prosper........

Maybe they finally realized how incredibly hokey the whole "community forum" was looking.

Maybe they realized the tremendous amount of time required to read and approve/disapprove each post was not worth it.

Maybe the absence of posts from .org members has made Prosper think its forums are safe?

Maybe they realized that if every post is "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy", people will get suspicious that negative posts are being suppressed.  Whereas if they let a few, carefully selected, mildly negative posts through, people won't realize that all strongly negative posts are being suppressed.

And who knows, they might even let a strongly negative post through once in a while (as long as it doesn't mention their violation of their own legal agreements or other such "sensitive" topics), just to help keep the wool firmly over people's eyes.

How long does it take to be moderated (say, on a Friday.....) and are you told your post/thread has been rejected?

Just askin'........

The so-called forums? They don't let you know that your post was rejected.

I have had a post show up several days after I wrote it, but now it seems to be within a business day or two.

OK, for shits and grins (and maybe some prodding ;) ) I made a post similar to the one this thread was started about. After the day passed, I wasn't sure if it was just ignored or they were being selective on WHO they were accepting "negative" posts from. So....I made a "positive" post almost 12 hours later - it went through. My "negative" post did not.

Moderation is still a joke over at .com  :D

so using the same post, they let it through for one person but not another? that's sounds like preferential treatment to me. some might even call that discrimination of some sort.

112233, not all discrimination is illegal.  There is even case law in California saying an insurance company can discrimination against lawyers.  Can you imagine?

I didnt mean to suggest in a legal sense. It's clear though, they need to rewrite the section on ethics in their business plan.

That's been clear for at least a year. But you're right - it does seem that each and every day brings out more proof of how poorly they are run,
