Time to take out the Trash. Who will help me help? We need to convince the VM to remove the "How much is too much" page, it is offensive.

Tip for best answer: M$0.17
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

What page are you talking about, not that I would support removing it but since one person finds it offensive that about guarantees I will find it interesting. I searched for How Much is Too Much and there is no such page yet.

That page is in Conundrumland, an age protected website (albeit minimally) and at over 6000 page views a day it just makes no sense what so ever to sacrifice traffic by appeasing the delicate sensibilities of one single user.

Keep the page, make 100 more like it and promote, promote, promote until there are 600,000 views a day and then double it again and again.. just keep going and going until every single internet user has been there at least once.

I would rather promote that page than take it down Dave, there is no way 265,000 + page views is bad... big number page views means good traffic and good traffic means potential money for us.. and there is not one thing offensive about that page.. it is 100% more offensive to suggest taking it down. I say keep it up!

Dave there is no way Mahalo will take that page down!

That page has 265,581 page views..I would recommend if you do not like the page you do not go to the page because the page view numbers certainly indicate you are in the minority in opposition to the page and its content.

hopefully by providing the link, I am not promoting it. I am asking for the page to be removed not advertised.

Go to "How to", click on a how to page, go to the bottom of the page and your will see a page called, "How much is too much".

That is the problem with this page, the title does not match content. It uses clever words to lure people in by provoking a simple thought then shocking them.

In general, the problem with pages is artificial popular statistics. The shift to pages away from Q & A was a mistake.

I think there are other pages on Mahalo that could be promoted which more closely match the interests of the site.

What are the central interests of the site: coupons, cars, car parts, food, finances, etc.

How can this page be considered a part of the core values of the site? This page seems to be an experiment, like certain questions that occasionally pop up in Q & A that are shocking and potentially hazardous.

@budda, I don't want to use this question as a promotion of the page. Just the opposite. I am working to get the page removed because it is painful. I provided step by step instructions on how to find the page rather than provide a link to prevent promotion.

Demoralization and devaluation are the central themes. Pandering to villains transforms into them into heroes of worldliness, power, and paganism. The intellectual disregard for morals and decency is allowed to rule. Sad.

I cannot speak for him but I certainly would not even consider removing the page on economics and traffic alone. 266,020 page views, Dave the question is skyrocketing up in page views.. that is traffic and traffic is the core value of this site.

The link above is the page in question and the page is actually a Conundrumland page just linked to Mahalo if a few spots I guess. I had not seen the link in over a month until today.

Help me rally support and vote the page, off the island

The page gets prime time advertising space. What do you expect?

A solution is for Mahalo to replace it with a popular question and give that question advertising space driving up the page hits.

I suggest a contest, a questions and answer contest where pages over 1000 hits compete are considered as a replacement page.

@wy answered on question that had 10,000 hits.

@budda, you seem to be saying that popular pages stay despite content. I think the standards of the site need to be upheld.

The revenue on this page must be in the thousands. However, if the content is offensive then getting rid of it now though painful is necessary. Pull the tooth. It will make the site cleaner.

Whatever the page is if davepamn felt bad there must be a valid reason . But davepamn we should agree this site is driven by majority people interest . If one or two such questions got such publicity you must understand people are liking it and that page is generating some revenue too . what ever that return money should be considered good . one such page can generate enough money to mahalo so that they can spend people like you and buddawiggis to ask at least 100 great questions . so i think wotever it is , if you look at whole picture , its a fair trade .
look at mahalos home page . you should be very thankful to them davepamn . they gave whole credit to mahalo answers you see no links of mahalo pages / mahalo how tos i thought you must be feeling happy for that .

I just realized that not only is the question thread getting tons and tons of views but it was initially posted by a Mahalo staff member.

Dave if you want to chat with that staff member about his high page view Q&A thread I would suggest you report the question or send him a direct message

265,984 views..

Will you vote to removal the page?

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

You haven't answer the question. You posted comments that are a distraction. What do you want?

Your thought pattern is chaos. Are you happy with this mockery.

Your freedom of speech ends where my noise begins. Unlimited freedom to speak does not exist. We must be grateful for mercy and seek to obey God's laws. Our speech should not bring pain and suffering through thoughtless ideas.

Free speech is about morality. The morality to speak against evil. Free speech is not the destruction of morality. The supreme court rulings on free speech empowered the federal government oversee state laws, casting a shadow over the states. State and religion were not be separated. Religion was to be the moral voice to keep government good. Good people supporting a good government. Free speech does not give a person the right to destory a sovereign government or destroy moral religion.

Morals is based on Divine law and justice. God's morality.

Free speech does not protect reckless, irresponsible, or subversive speech. The test for harm is not good. A person could make a speech about the evils of marriage and claim that his speech is doing no harm. His doctrines and philosophies may destroy believe systems that support family structure. The test of direct harm is not a good test.

Oh? Which God?

I do not believe that people should be afraid to speak their point of view. I feel it is poison to hide your feelings away, whether they are harmful to the community or not.

I mean, sure, tell your wife her butt doesn't look big in that dress, but if you hate your neighbor's loud music, don't let it fester. Speak out!

Oh, free speech is about morality? Who's morality? A drug dealer's morality? A doctor's morality? A dictator's morality? Who is "in charge" of what is morally right and wrong?

I think that if you want to express yourself in any way, I am for it, as long as it does not lead to the harm of living beings or the destruction of property.

I (kind of) know what page you are talking about. It was showing up on nearly every page as a "featured Mahalo page" for some time, but it is not now.....at least not on any of the pages that I viewed today. The picture that went with it showed two women "snuggling" with their clothes half off......the kind of picture that make people want to click on it to find out more.I am sure that I have clicked on it before, but I don't remember what the actual page was....maybe a previous question of yours about how much skin is too much for advertisements? I think this surfaced around the time that the Lane Bryant ads became an issue, but I don't really know what the lesbionic picture had to do with anything. Was it uncomfortable for you, Dave?

It moves around

It is associated as an advertising page at the bottom of the "How To" pages.

Both questions caused me to be uncomfortable and too ponder about what could be done. I did include a comment in my black belt petition about content.

I have read studies about what content subjects that google thinks people are interested in. I saw sci-fi entertainment and movies as one group, but this questions seems to branch off into an more provocative branch of negative media. Pain!

The more popular this type of question becomes the rougher the crowd, it will attract. The absolution of reason and responsiblity and the emergence of hedonism.

Currently, there is a strong atheist group that likes promoting these type of questions that destroy fundamental values and demoralize morality. They laugh. They promote their godless religion of secularism by both image and content. I have tried to engage them in debate using logical and legalism, but they respond with vulgar images and harsh rhetoric. I is not use to reason with them. The end result is terror and their self gratification to sit at the pinnacle of civilization. No mercy, no love, just raw power.

I was not disappointed, I was appalled.

The problem with fighting evil is that it mocks. Rather than seek understand, it knows everything. I may be responsible for raising the question, but hopefully you will be responsible to vote for the removal of the page.

The irony here is that the questionable image promoting this page did its job, because as much as you may have been "offended" by it, you still apparently clicked the link with the picture of the half-naked lesbians to go to that page. Perhaps you were a little disappointed to learn that the page and the question themselves were actually a little more appropriate than you had hoped for. What's more....you are effectively promoting that page merely by asking a question about it, and this question already has 60 views....considerably more than some of your other questions about energy. Sex sells....bottom line....and it does so every single time. That is not just on Mahalo..that is everywhere. While I don't necessarily agree with it myself, there is not a lot that you can do to change human nature.
