State of WPD; Have your say here! by Greedeater in WatchPeopleDie

It really feels like a different, lesser place. Classic reposts, idiotic comments, very few pics and no way to downvote. Seems like the good posters are gone. I still come here once every few weeks, catch up and end up disappointed. I go more often to Goregrish or Death Addict where you can find more fresh content but also toxic communities... Our community was the great value of WPD and I'm not finding it here.

I know you can't do anything about that, I'm just venting frustration. Cheers and thanks for making this anyway.

Dashcam recorded the death of the driver and passenger car by DoctorsHateHim in WatchPeopleDie

After watching this many car crashes and personally coming really close to having an accident due to a friend drink driving, if I'm ever in a situation where the driver tries to show off by speeding or is visibly impaired, I'll do whatever I physically need to get them to stop.

Statistics don't care about how "great a driver you are".

claim someone was clinging to the tires or was FORCED OUT from the airplane.

Yeah sure, forced out.

I'm on mobile so I can barely see what I'm typing

Then don't post.

Does any more experienced user have any tips on becoming a better poster on this thread and what would everyone want me to post?

Only post content that you can identify as recent or newly available and that hasn't been posted here yet. If you feel the need to repost or post old stuff, try to bring something new by doing some research, adding press clippings and context. For the title see /u/oozinator1's post above.

Then why bring up Iran at all? What a silly write-up.

If I wanted to watch Liveleak or bestgore I would go there, away from this site by SFinTX in WPDTalk

[–]sig 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is exactly why saidit needs user blocking like reddit. Seems that most of the liveleak vomit is coming from a handful of users. I don't think they are breaking any rules, a block/ignore feature would allow them to stay here and keep pushing their shit without making the sub unusable for people like us.

Ultimately, I'd love to see the rules updated so that no link to a death that is verifiably older than a couple weeks would be allowed.

I just wish there was a way to filter out shootings. Nothing more boring than a shooting death.

Post your empathy quotient here by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDie

[–]sig 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

52 although I expected more. I'm the most empathetic person I know (and not proud of it), I'm really good at reading social cues but that doesn't make make me a good person -- I think I "lost" points because I am super socially awkward and can be very blunt, it's just that I'm acutely aware of it without doing anything to change it. I keep apologising and trying to justify myself.

Is it possible to block/ignore all posts from one user? by roc in help

[–]sig 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Looking forward to the feature. I see a lot of growing potential in saidit and although I understand that this request is a bit orthogonal to the core beliefs of the site (no speech restrictions and transparent sharing, opt-out approach); I would like to make my frontpage a very well curated space free from ads and manipulation, only populated by people I think put out good content. Any way of blocking people quickly would be a very welcome addition. Even better if I can do it without having to report them which is what I need to do on reddit.

My regret ... An introductory research was opened to determine the circumstances of a road user intentionally colliding with minors, which resulted in the death of one of them. by HopeThatHalps in WatchPeopleDie
