Changes and Content

To all the lovely people who are still enjoying worldface:

You've probably noticed a change in our moderation policy recently, which a lot of you have been calling for. It hopefully won't come as a surprise to you to find out that looking after worldface is not actually our main job. We created it for a bit of fun and certainly didn't expect it to last as long as it has.

We are very pleased that people have continued to use it, but need to clarify our position a little.

Firstly, on the topic of spam...
Spam and quality of content are not the same thing. Our responsibility is getting rid of the spam and the responsibility for the quality of the content is with the users.

Secondly, we at Teamfishcake are always trying to concentrate on new and fresh ideas, so while we are happy that people are still enjoying worldface, our main focus will always be creating new ideas for the main teamfishcake site. We are currently looking in to the possiblity of having more moderators.

One of the facts about running a 'user generated content' website is that you can't please all the people all of the time. There's going to be stuff in here that people don't like. And you know what - there's not a lot we can do about that. This is the nature of Worldface. This is what you've got. We'll remove spam, abuse and any other unsuitable messages, but we're not going to act as editors, otherwise we'll open ourselves up for all sorts of criticism about favouritism, censorship and all that nonsense. And we can't be bothered with all that.

Thanks for supporting the site and spreading the word,
Team Fishcake
