Question

ISSUE 1. The Anonymous privilege completely needs to be revamped.
A. It is abused by trolls.
B. It's not that anonymous because age ranges are provided. For young people, that is not a problem, but, for old people like me, there are not many of us, so asking a question anonymously is a waste.

To correct these problems, at minimum, these things should occur.
1. There needs to be a set of rules for when a question is asked Anonymously.
2. For every question that is asked anonymously:
A) The G@G-user needs to check a box that they have read these rules and understand them.
B) One of those rules is that the Anonymously-asked question will be vetted by admins or moderators before it is posted; this is similar to what already happens with MyTakes.
C) Another rule is that the question must be personal in nature.

ISSUE 2: BLOCK NEEDS TO MEAN BLOCK
When I block someone, I do not want to see a single thing from them - no questions, no MyTakes, no opinions. no messages, no followings.

ISSUE 3: Bring back age filtering.
Years ago, we had age filtering on questions. This was helpful so the G@G opinionator would not have to scroll though countless immature or trolling questions and get to real questions by real people.

ISSUE 4: LOAD ENTIRE MESSAGE CONVERSATIONS; save feature.
The Messages feature has a limit here of the past 60 days. You automatically lose all messages older than that. While that is annoying, I can accept it to cut down on memory storage. Personally, almost every 2 months, I go through my conversations with long-time friends so I can save them so I can read them years later. The problem is that, after about 10 or so message bubbles, you have to click on View Earlier to load just another 10 or so message bubbles! Two months of conversation can have thousands of message bubbles so you can literally spend an hour or two just to get them all. (And, of course, because it's taking you 2 hours, you lose 2 hours of messages from 60 days ago. So, instead, G@G should JUST LOAD THEM ALL from the past 60 days! It's just text and hardly takes up any data. I've saved 2 months of daily conversations and it comes out to 5 MB as an MHTML page. That's it. That's almost nothing. There is no justifiable reason not to fix this. Furthermore, once the past 60 days are loaded, a button or something should appear letting you save the messages to a file which you can download or upload to the cloud.

I like the variety of questions on this site and some of the users. I rarely get bored here. I also like how we can block the idiots and trolls, and remove their posts if they're trolling on questions we've asked, without moderator help.

I hate the anonymous trolls, the abusive moderators (although every social media site has abusive mods), and the admins of the site not at all caring about the community and messing up the site layout or features every couple months. I also hate how we can't edit our own comments or posts and they REFUSE to let us do so. The admins spend more time needlessly ruining the site than fixing any actual problems on it.

I like how there are different topics for our diffrlerent questions, easy to find them back, I like a good structure.
Many people here try to help out and most people here are very friendly.

I dislike the anonymous feature. I heard that even the mods don't get to see who is behind the anonymous question, because the anonymous option gets abused. I get that some questions may be embarrassing to ask, but the people I talk about use it to spam or offend.

The people who think they can shove their personal opinions down others throats, are laughable, not really any hate there.  The friends.

I hate trolls and the repeat offenders that keep on breaking the rules only to be given a free pass to do it again and again.

I don't mind the anon feature, but let's face it, 75% of the posts seem to be anonymous posts. Too much already.

I love helping people and I love when I get good answers.  The sheer number of trolls and morals is a minus

Well, G@g to me is like any other social site / app... If you use it too much, you'll hate it... The only advantage G@g has is that it's kinda under the radar... Not too many people are using it like Twitter, Reddit, fb and stuff... So it's a little more tolerable... But that's not always the case... G@g started getting stale and mediocre 🤷‍♂️..

I enjoy hearing new ideas and learning about new experiences. I enjoy hopefully helping and possibly offering a different perspective. I really dislike the anonymous feature.

I like that I met my future wife, even if she doesn't realize it yet. I hate that I had a relationship with a certain someone that left me damaged.

AndrewAzul · Answer

I like that I can see attractive and unattractive people and give my opinions on such. What I dislike is that said questions disappear after a day

MementoMori777 · Answer

I like the idea but I hate how they ran this website

Strangerdanger2120 · Answer

I like that I can say whatever I want even if it's controversial unlike reddit and Twitter. I wish there were more thought provoking questions.

TroyDT2 · Answer

Hate: Obnoxious trolls who think everyone with a different viewpoint is evil and/or moronic. Love: most of the people on here are pretty chill.
