Any redditors on here?

I see all kinds of bad stuff about reddit on CNN. Child porn, etc. 

Yes...probably NOT the ideal site/hosting site to have your links/stuff associated with.

Then again, prior to today I was totally unaware of 'reddit'....it's enough that we are obliged to put up with Myspace and Facebook.

The LAST thing this world needs is yet another 'social network'.

Get REAL FRIENDS, people....;p

Another one of those sites for the socially inept and the mentally disturbed.

My Facebook solution works here too:-

1) go to control panel

2) deactivate account

3) go outside

Fits most of Wincustomize's visiters just right then.

Another solution is never to open a Facebook account in the first place or as i call it Fakebook

Agree you will always know when a facebook addict isnt at home or what he is doing at this very moment its ideal for robbers and company´s to get any sort of valuable information they want. They tested this in germany and just confronted people infront of their houses when they were returning from work -on the parking lot  right after work - restaurants and so on.These folks can be happy that it was only a test/report on how Facebook could harm you if you post to much or every movement precisely you will get in trouble sooner or later.For addicts its like a GPS footchain that attached to you permanently.
But its fun aswell you get to play browser -flash based games you  get invites- pokes- PM from people that you never every have seen in your life.
REDDIT TAGGED WKW or many more the list goes on and on...makes me wonder why Myspace isnt as popular as FB isnt Myspace much older ?

Hey, I actually enjoy reading Reddit, plus it's linked to from Wired.com. Reddit is definitely not for children (then again, neither is DeviantArt, for instance), but they have some very interesting IAMAs (I am a...) and AMAs (Ask Me Anything...).

Too bad those guys on reddit.com/r/customization/ haven't found out about Winstep applications yet.

That's because these users are morons, who use a public profile.
On this subject Facebook isn't any worse than eks. Wincustomize. 

Now Jorge, you know that will make you go blind!!!!             

Can't he just do it 'till he needs glasses?

Hi Jorge ... he he

~sigh~ child porn, that was r/jailbait and it has been shut down. Perhaps if you looked at the site and judged for yourself?  

 Or if you really need another news source to tell you its not that scary, perhaps you should see how many amazing things we have done for people http://voltiercreative.com/2010/11/reddits-astonishin-altruism/

well why don't you come and show us! We would love to hear all about your nifty apps,gadgets, and whatever you've done to customize your computer

Just what does reddit offer and what is it, is it a skinning community site? 

reddit itself is a social news aggregate site. but it has SUB forums, the forum I'm talking about is specifically catered to skinning and customization. But there are a lot of sub forums on there for all kinds of interests  

let me start by saying all sub-fourms come after reddit.com  ie  reddit.com/r/documentaries is a sub dedicated to.. you guessed it, documentaries (check them out!) they talk about inside job, the vice guides, planet earth from BBC etc  or you have r/politics, r/psychology or my personal favorite r/cats which is.. duh all about the kittehs!  If you only go to reddit.com you see a "frontpage" which is basically a list of the top voted stories or pictures from all of the sub forums or "sub reddits". Now, there CAN be a lot of drivel on there which is why you go to the "edit" function and subscribe or unsubscribe to things that follow or don't follow your own personal interests. Just yesterday on r/technology I saw a post on Quantum Levitation, which was a wicked video on youtube about using superconductors and magnets. 

Now you don't EVER have to friend anyone, hell you don't even have to talk, you can just peruse to your hearts content, you don't even have to sign up for an account if you don't wish, and just bookmark r/customization if you want to watch. I am just trying to get more people interested and talking. I know some people have heard bad things about ONE of the subs from CNN, but I promise that is not us nor does it represent the rest of the site or its subs

It does if the SITE allows THAT kind of sub to exist on it.  Just saying.

You bring up DeviantArt, a place where I took down all my skins in protest to the things they allow to go on at their site.

If a site allows/condones bad things to be used/seen/posted/uploaded, etc. to their site/domain, then the SITE is bad.

Found this on imgur. Paid a visit to reddit and this link was in one of the comments

I agree with RedneckDude on this, the site belongs to someone, they need to take responsibility for the site, and the content on it. 

Not that it matters but are you that person jayde_drag0n?

How about you go to http://www.winstep.net too and find out?

lol! Hey, I wear contact lenses!

You know I'm European, so my point of view on that stuff might be a bit different from yours.

If a site is an adult site and recognizes itself as such, then you know you will find good and bad things there (as in life - and you know 'good' and 'bad' are VERY relative notions in this case, what utterly shocks someone, might leave someone else totally unfazed, depending on culture and other factors). Up to you to read the good and ignore the bad.

Not talking about criminal things such as child porn, of course (Jeezus, didn't even know about that, I just go to Reddit via Wired.com). Anyway, they did shut it down, according to jayde_drag0n, so it's kind a mute point.

Thank you JcRabbit. And the site doesn't allow or condone the actions taken by the members of the story that CNN reported on.. that's why it was removed for violating the TOS. The admins are responsible and do their best. And as far as who I am, I am only a moderator on r/customization, and r/bakersfield. I used to be a mod on r/assistance and r/domesticviolence before I stepped down for a bit (burnout happens on those forums). Reddit also has one of the most active suicide prevention and rape counseling forums around.

'moot', Jorge...;)

Alternative/more forums/sites dedicated to skinning and GUI customizing, even 'only' sub-forums is a good thing, provided activities/content on them is policed sufficiently that they do not allow the disemination of artists' works without consent.

Any forum/site is only as good as it's contributors and the standards of their administration.

All that aside I'd personally find the issue of co-habitation within the same direct network/ownership with that which was referenced in #1 sufficient incentive to seek another home.

One bad apple does NOT ruin the whole bunch, and you cannot judge an entire community based on the actions of a few stupid few who have already been removed. If that were true. I could make a LONG list of people, places, and things that you still use/associate with even though there have been a few bad apples

There were idiot comments re First Amendment claiming that protected the rights of these people involved with 'Jailbait'/kiddie porn, etc.

It's all about how strong-handed the policing [Administration] of the sites really is.  Lax or tardy action acts as a breeding ground for all sorts of 'nasties' from copyright abuse to straight-out warez distribution.

A multi-level forum with sub-sets to individual and different activities/interests means the parent company/site owner/administration's relative 'inaction' taints all of them through association.

Simple reality is - inappropriate use was allowed to be made in the first place due to lack of proper supervision.

That it happened 'once' and has now allegedly been removed certainly does not preclude a repetition or worse, and imagine if Legal action resulted in the site/network's closure....all the 'sub-forums', good AND bad would cease to be - hence my preference for 'seeking another home'.

Oops! Thanks, Jafo, I'll remember this one! 'Moot' point it is.

Just assumed the damn point was mute since I never heard him say a word.

Jorge....just helping with your English....one word at a time....;)
