The LGBT at Disney Official FAQ...see post 47 for latest update

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

How did the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) at Disney board come to be?
Once upon a time on the DIS, there was the Community Board. It was a social place for all the folks on the DIS to chat about the world and all things Disney. However, it became apparent to the webmasters and the owner of the DIS, that it was not a safe space for everyone to post and share. There was a small, yet vocal group of homophobic and intolerant individuals that created quite a bit of drama and turned it into a hostile environment that was just not welcoming to everyone. So, for the good of all, the DIS owner created this space for us, the members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgender, and Questioning community, along with all of our family and friends aka the Cool Straight People (CSP). While there have been questions from time to time about the need for such a space since it's creation, there will always be a need for our non-traditional families to have a safe place to meet, greet, and plan for our trips to Disney.

What is the mission of this forum?
The mission of this forum is to create a carefully moderated "safe space" for the entire DIS community, but with a specific focus on the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgender, and Questioning (aka GLBTQ) community, our friends and family where we can discuss our Disney Experiences. In order to keep this space safe for people of all ages and sensitivity levels, we have a volunteer Moderating Team who has the power to edit, move, or remove content in accordance with our rules as well as those of the DIS. The moderators are volunteers who have been members for a long time and have demonstrated a commitment to this mission and an ability to help keep peace in difficult times.

Who are the moderators for this board?

OrlandoMike (http://www.disboards.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=98541) aka Mike

If you click the Mod's username, it will allow you to PM directly to any of them with your concerns.

How do the moderators make their decisions?
The moderators act according to the DIS posted rules and guidelines. DIS Posting Guidlines: http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm When an issue is unclear, the moderators make decisions as a team; they privately discuss the situations, determine a course of action, and set appropriate precedents for future situations.

What kinds of things are not allowed here?
You can see all the details in the DIS posted guidelines, but in general, we don't allow fighting/verbal attacks, unkind language, profanity, or explicit sexual content. Posters are welcome to have discussions that are debates or contain opposing points of view. It's largely up to the posters to keep themselves in line. If you feel like something you want to say crosses the line, then it probably does and you should expect that there are consequences to your actions. Similar situations are not always going to be be handled in exactly the same manner. Part of the reasoning is that it is initially up to the posters themselves to decide, if they are or are not going to be offended or hurt by what another says. The other part of it is up to how the mod(s) see the situation. Factors such as life experience, context, and perspective will be considered in all matters of disagreement.

I saw something posted that was against the rules, but the mods have not done anything about it. What should I do?
Most likely, the moderators simply haven't seen the offending post. Even if a moderator posted into that thread, they may have only skimmed the other replies and may not have seen something you caught.

In any case, if you see something that violates the DIS‘s posting policies, please use the "report" button on that post to alert the moderators to the problem.

Occasionally, the moderating team may be divided about how to handle a situation and may be discussing it before taking action, or they may be in conversation with the poster. Once you've reported the post, give the moderators time to handle the situation quietly.

I don’t like something in this board’s rules or policies. What should I do?
Contact one of the members of the Moderator Team and allow them to address your concerns. We respectfully request that you not post your objections to the open forum. For one thing, it's not going to be as effective, since the people, who have the power to make those changes will quite possibly, never see your post. For another thing, the vast majority of our members prefer that these issues are handled privately; they quickly tire of seeing threads endlessly debating the same policy questions.

If multiple users have the same concern and you are unable to work out a solution with the mods, then talk to them about starting a thread to discuss the situation publicly. But give them a chance to resolve the issue first.

Oh, just admit it, you don’t want the criticism.
We are used to criticism. We can handle it. And in fact, we do allow criticism on the message board when it's appropriate. Surely you've seen it from time to time. But the vast majority of our members have asked us not to allow constant debates over every little policy or moderator decision. Not only does it make the forum look bad; it also causes division in the community and makes it hard to maintain a safe space.

With such a small staff, we've learned that handling concerns and issues one-on-one allows us much greater freedom to listen to people's concerns (without others shouting them down) and make sure that each person's feelings are addressed. So that's the policy we've adopted.

If you have any questions about what is allowed or not allowed to be posted on the boards or in your signatures, the ultimate answer is usually found in the DISboards.com Guidelines (http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm) there is an FAQ for our board stickied at the top of the page that contains the general rules of this board and, of course, references the DISboards.com Guidelines. (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1785907)

We must keep this a family friendly board. So, watch your links, do not try to bypass the naughty word filter, and watch the innuendo, please.

Thank you!

[MonorailMan]

About 95% of the G & L Board has been guilty of the "Staying On-Topic" and "No Sarcasm" rules. :lmao:

[wallyb]

Rules?:confused3

I'm not familiar with this word.
:scratchin
Can't seem to find it in my Funkenwagnel.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Pretty much everyone has been good lately. But, the occasional little friendly reminder never hurts, especially since we have been blessed with a lot of newbies lately, who might not know all of the guidelines yet.

Oh good. As long as wasn't meant to be as condescending as it sounded. :thumbsup2

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Sorry if the OP did come off sounding a little too condescending y'all. It wasn't my intention. Sometimes, it's hard to get tone of voice out of written word. If that makes any sense??!!?

[DVC~OKW~96]

You're fine. :hug: You have a responsibility to see that the policies of the board are followed and you are doing that in a gentle respectful way.

It's not the easiest job in the world, that moderating stuff! :scared:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Bumping because we need to watch those what we type around here folks.

http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm
2. NO PROFANITY: Simply put, don't use swear words and don't post or link to suggestive or inappropriate photos. The boards are equipped with censoring software. If you try to use a profanity, it will be filtered and appear as all asterisks. Please don't get creative in an attempt to bypass the filters. This is considered the same as using the word itself and will result in an infraction. If you post or link to pornography, you'll be banned from our site.

This was probably me-I didn't know that particular word was considered porn by the censoring software until the reply posted and it came up in all ***'s.

Sorry!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Sorry!

You are perfectly welcome to post words that are inappropriate on the boards. However, just realize that the vast majority of them are going to cause a string of "*'s" to appear in the place of the letters. That is not a problem. You get no warnings or points for that.

Where you get into trouble is when you post creative work arounds with some of the right letters and other stuff mixed in to imitate the inappropriate word(s). For that, you may get a warning, or you may get points.

Just remember, if you wouldn't say the word at a church picnic, you probably don't want to say type the word on the DIS. Afterall, this is a family friendly space.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Everyone, please be careful in what you post from YouTube. If there is anything inappropriate in the video, song, or content written on the page by the YouTuber or the general public in the comments section, the link should not be posted on the DIS.

Being that you personally have no control what the general public posts in the comments section, keep in mind that if someone makes an inappropriate comment on the linked YouTube page after you have posted the link, that one of the Mods may ask you to remove the link. Hopefully, this will not be a matter that will leave you with points accessed.

Sorry folks, I know this is a drag, but the DIS is a family friendly site and we should all try to keep it that way.

There are comments on YouTube? :confused3

Where? I've never seen them!

[bubie2.5]

The comments are below the video to the left.

[rpmdfw]

The comments are below the video to the left.

Really?

I'll have to check it out when I get home. (YouTube is blocked at work)

I've never looked much further than the video itself. Or maybe there weren't comments on the ones I paged down for when I first discovered YouTube.

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Yeah, there are comments. And they are unfiltered. I have had to get onto DS more than once when I have caught some of the comments on videos he is viewing. And ordinarily the video doesn't have anything bad in it - it's just the comments.

[Uncle Remus]

Well, we can just stop posting youtubes then coz youtube is not moderated
to the standards of DIS and notorious for idiots postin' colorful comments.

Thanks for postin' this, Lindy, I post youtubes all the time.

I just got to thinkin', this probably should be extended to most publications like HuffPo and other news sites where comments are allowed.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Posting links to websites that have any unfiltered or unmoderated public commentary is risky. Per the Webmaster, linked websites must be family friendly in content, similar to the posted DIS guidelines.

I just want to make sure I understand-I'm new here and don't want to mess up.

Just about every news site out there is uncensored regarding comments, does this mean that we should not post links to news articles either?

[DVCajun]

Geez. I hate to lose the cool youtube postings -- I really get a kick out of those. I don't see how we can be responsible for the various comments, ads, and pop-ups that may occur on unaffiliated websites. Why don't we just post a DIS guideline that prohibits members from reading the comments section on any given link? :sad2: That seems more reasonable. Or, perhaps, the fact that the DIS is on the world wide web, where there are any number of inappropriate websites, is inappropriate in and of itself.
:eek:

Seriously.

Good post! The other problem is that you can post a link pre-comments only to find them added later. We have no control over that.
Shame :sad1:

Darn. And I wanted to share my most recent treasured find.....a Tom Jones video!

I'm on a Tom Jones kick lately.

Per the Webmaster: "If there's any content on the page that they can't post on the DIS, it needs to go. We can't link and send our visitors to inappropriate content."

"We welcome visitors of all ages and it is our number one goal to keep the DIS friendly, fun and informative. With this in mind, we have created guidelines that will keep the DIS a site that anyone can enjoy whether they're a child or "child at heart."

Yes, this is a drag and it stinks, but the DIS has rules. http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm If you don't like the rules, I encourage you to take the matter up with one of the Webmasters via email at admin@wdwinfo.com

[rpmdfw]

What if the video has a link to ANOTHER video in the "you might like these" section, and THAT video has a naughty word in the comments?

What then? I mean a child could click on the link here, and then in just one more click see a bad word that they can hear on primetime television!

That would be a disaster! :rolleyes:

Honestly, how far do we take the policing?

Might as well say, no posting of ANY links to ANY site ANYWHERE because one of those MIGHT have a link that has a link that has a link to the word that means "donkey" but can't be posted on the DIS.

Honestly. We have a great group of people here on the GLBT forum. We're respectful of each other, we support each other when times are bad, we don't attack one anther, we don't take ourselves too seriously and we have FUN. Can't we focus on those things that we have that WORK SO WELL on this forum instead of worrying about what the comments section on a funny youtube video might say?

I understand that there are rules, and that we have them for a reason. But I think that the interpretation and enforcement of them can get so far of hand if we lose sight of the fact that we're so much more functional here than they are on the CB.

I'd hate to see this forum lose its sense of fun because the "rules" became more important than the great group of people who post here.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Keeping within lines of the rules of the DIS should not negate anyone's ability to post and have a good time. We must all remember that this is a messageboard that is freely made available to all of us. The rules were set by the Webmasters in an attempt to keep this space family friendly and fun. The DIS is supposed to be about Disney travel. Parents visiting the DIS should be able to feel comfortable in leaving this site up on their computer around small children.

YouTube, news items, blogs, they all have their place, but before we post those links, we should take a closer look to make sure that, if a child were to see that page, that the content would be suitable for all ages. If a mommy was surfin' the DIS and needs to go unload the dryer, she should be able to do so without worrying about "What if junior grabs the mouse and starts clicking on other posts and linked content?" I think for the sake of this rule, that we will stop the "rule" on the immediately linked page, with the exception of "adult oriented/explict content" sites. I really don't think this is such a bad thing. The majority of the cases where something that is inappropriate (or becomes inappropriate) is posted, your post will be edited to have the offending link removed.

I love this board. I don't think that it will lose it's sense of fun and community, if we are all a bit more careful in what we post. There are lots of people out there that lurk our board everyday. We should all strive to put our best foot forward.

If you are still unhappy with the rules, I encourage you to take the matter up with one of the Webmasters via email at admin@wdwinfo.com

[DVC~OKW~96]

I have no real idea how to do it, but I know (at least on some sites) you can "embed" a youtube link so just the video is on the thread, not a link to youtube.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? :confused3

Guys, this isn't a new rule, and we're not going to take this to ridiculous lengths by extending it to links from links... Common sense does come into play. :)

The standard here is that if something is inappropriate to be posted directly on the DIS, then it's also inappropriate to link to it. A link from our site should not lead directly to profanity, sexual content, or other objectionable material.

..... and, as far as I can tell, this rule hasn't been violated. There are occasional, and much enjoyed, posts to cool youtube videos on this forum. The videos that are shared are NOT inappropriate and contain no profanity, sexual contact, or any other objectionable material. If someone chooses to browse further on that website and then encounters such material, no one has mentioned being offended tmk. :confused3

It seems to me that all of us on this board (we're a rather small community) are mindful of the rules, and YES, common sense DOES come into play. Which causes me to question why this topic was posted in the first place.

I seem to remember a banner on this website that linked directly to hateful anti-gay marriage propaganda in the not so distant past. Now THAT was objectionable material, but apparently OK since it put money in the pocket of the webmaster. Come ON.

I suppose I'll be banned for my candor -- it's been done in the past, after all. The original tag fairy comes to mind. May she rest in peace.

Sorry guys. BAD DAY, and SO not in the mood for BS.

[rpmdfw]

..... and, as far as I can tell, this rule hasn't been violated.

And if it has, why not deal with the indivual(s) in question rather than sermonizing to the rest of us about the rules?

If the rest of us are following the rules, why the reminder? We're not "bad little children" in constant need of correction as a group, are we? Do y'all assume that we're all one keystroke away from posting banned material? Because, as I mentioned earlier, we've got a great group here, and have very few issues with fighting or anything like that on the GLBT board. Shouldn't the FAQ thread at the top of the board with it's reminders about the rules be enough?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I think it was just a "heads up" kind of thing to let us know that sometimes there are really nasty unfiltered comments posted with YouTube videos. I have seen them (not here, like I mentioned yesterday, DS likes to browse YouTube). An innocent link to a video could result in a direct link to profanity, etc. because nobody moderates the comments on the videos.

[Mackey Mouse]

Can I just here, I love it here.. I hang out on your board and you all welcome me. I love the banter, the playfulness, the camaraderie amongst the regulars to including the newbies and just the occasional people who drop in.. Love it.

I think Lindy was just posting this, not that I know for sure, as a FYI thing and since it is the way the rest of the boards are handled, she probably wanted to make sure you all know as well. I do not know if someone recently got deleted or anything, I think (and this is my gut) as the one of the people responsible for G & L, she wanted to make sure that all the boards including this one were on the same page.

So we accept that the Dis has specific guidelines and we can follow them....or at least try to do the right thing when we can. Sometimes you do not see that it leads to this or that and it can get deleted, and a warning may or may not be issued, but that is the way of these boards...

I just thought I would try to put it in layman terms....I hope you understand.. that although you have moderators moderating your board, you also have the Dis Moderating Team and they check here as well.. Just the way the boards are run...

Hugs to everyone,
Marsha

while I understand the Dis is family friendly I also understand the internet is not, and I monitor my kids when they are on the computer, or anywhere near it where a mouse click could happen.
even if the dis is on the screen, I know all it takes is a mouse click to get somewhere they shouldn't
so while I get we can't post anything inappropriate, I think your solution to just remove if an inappropriate comment does get added is good.
we can't constantly police for peoples children, I think people do need to be responsible for what the kids can see on the net.
just my .02

[Uncle Remus]

Well, my suggestion is don't post any youtubes especially gay oriented ones since Youtube is full of idiots who come along with their "smart" remarks.

I removed the Harvey Milk speech and Lance Black's Oscar acceptance speech from my sig so I could stay within the guidelines of the DIS. I'm thankful the DIS doesn't have the attitude that gay or lesbian is an undesirable topic of discussion, some sites don't allow posts about that. :scared:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

The original post was made as a heads up after someone on the board did post a couple of YouTube links to songs with profanity in the lyrics. That member was contacted and the posts were deleted. One of the songs was a popular former top 40 pop hit. The offending word was not one that most of us would notice, but as a moderator it's my job to notice.

Initially, I posted this thread to give everyone a heads up that we all need to be more careful about what we link to in our posts. Making a heads up post to the group is a common practice on other boards and I know that before I became a moderator that there was the occasional post here too in regards to things that we needed to be mindful of when we were posting here.

The DIS rules simply ask that we keep this a fun, family friendly, and informative space. We can do that! :thumbsup2

[WebmasterKathy]

I'm thankful the DIS doesn't have the attitude that gay or lesbian is an undesirable topic of discussion, some sites don't allow posts about that. :scared:

And that's really sad and scary...

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I have no real idea how to do it, but I know (at least on some sites) you can "embed" a youtube link so just the video is on the thread, not a link to youtube.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? :confused3

Yes, I know what you are talking about, but the DIS doesn't support embedded content in our posts. I asked if there was something else that we could do. So far, there hasn't been much in the way of good news.

The only option that I can think of is to upload the non-offensive video/song content that you wish to share to a personal website. You could post a link to the personal website without fear that someone might come along and make offensive comments.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Somewhere along the way in this thread, someone mentioned that the rules were all laid out in the FAQ that is stickied at the top of the board. I am going to merge these threads together. From now on, I will attempt to keep any group heads up type updates posted to that one thread.

That is all. :)

[wallyb]

Has this thread been cut / and or edited?
Seems to be missing posts. :confused:

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Yes, it's been edited to attempt to keep the thread on topic.

[wallyb]

Yes, it's been edited to attempt to keep the thread on topic.


As a point of interest - How many were cut?

And why would we start that now...
I mean we've all sorta free flowed before.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

35

This thread is one that needs to actually follow the on topic rule because of it's informative nature. I don't care how many other threads get hijacked, just leave this one on topic.

okay - thanks

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

FYI: Things are changing on the DIS.

Everyone, please read this post outlining a very important new policy:

New Policy: Politics and Religion on the DISboards. (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2125870)

Political and religion based discussions/debates/arguments will no longer have a place on the DISboards.

We will be closing the existing threads on these topics.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

FYI: I have locked the two existing politically oriented threads that were on the first page of our board. Neither conversation was even remotely out of hand. However, for the time being, I think it wise to remove any content that tempts visitors from other parts of the DIS to stir the pot. I have already seen posts on the CB that are asking "What about the insert name here board?" so before they get to us, I am taking action.

I do so in an effort to keep the peace. I love our community too much to allow us to become a target based on the fact that a lot of CB'ers are mad right now. Thankfully, this too shall pass. ;)

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

FYI: I am no longer a moderator here on the Gay & Lesbian at Disney board.

That is all. :goodvibes
