OK I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this. But I feel that the women who use this site. Have to use the “i am a tea pot” setting. Because as soon as they are found out to be a woman. Everyone just harasses them.
1. I think we should not have naked women pictures in your signatures or your avatar. I get that this is a very cool place with liberties and freedoms and artistic expression. That is so important to the community. But we’re not gonna attract any women to the site if that’s just gonna be common place.
I noticed that you can only get banned for two things. (someone told me people have stalked them to their house.) Someone should’ve stepped in way before it got to that point. 2. A better follow up with users that are experiencing harassment.
Even just posting that, you respect women. Will make people stop reading a thread. Which is hilarious. Because those same people are the ones constantly bitching about their not being women here. It’s like they throw shit against the wall and then ask why the room stinks.
3. Offer a bounty system. If you’re the one who reported somebody who has been super creepy. You got a small bounty. Or small blind. If you report that you’ve discovered a puppet! Big reward. Fat bounty. Big blind. Cowboy rules. You only get the bounty once we’ve gotten the person confirmed as an abuser then banned.
Does anyone want to post any ideas or workshop with me on how we can try and make this a better space for women to feel safe in.
Because I deeply care for this place. I really love it. But as it is, I don’t feel like I can show it to some people that I feel like would otherwise really enjoy it here.

Thats a very tall order. Its like asking "how can we make males who are into shrooms and acid more feminine?". I dont think its really practical.
Maybe in the future, more feminine-friendly guys will join and they will attract more females to post.
Or there could be an incentative program, such as if a woman posts x amount in a given month, they can earn some swag or website spending credit.

Of course it’s not a instant thing. This would be an overtime progress thing. I like your incentivization idea. But I feel like just being able to report harassment. That would be the main difference. If we’re talking, big moves. We should incentivize people for reporting harassment. What do you think?

Users already have the capability to report harassment. Anyone harassing another member gets a ban and anyone harassing a female member just because they are female will very likely get an extra long or permanent ban.
No bonuses will likely be given for reporting harassment, that would only encourage the over reporting of perceptual slights. Also the moderators donate their time here and are doing an excellent job. The moderators probably appreciate your input and I'm sure that the Administration would work with you to help increase any and all traffic to the website if you had any viable plans or idea to do so. They will probably eventually read this thread, but you could post about this subject in website announcements and feedback if you wanted. And come to think about it, why make this post anonymously?
The numbers are what they are. The only way that you will likely see more female traffic is if the traffic increases overall here at the shroomery. You might try to increase exposure to this website by telling people about it and sharing links around the internet.
It's kind of like going to an auto show and asking why more girls don't drive a hot rod pinto.

I have been. I’ve been making my own Shroomery cards and giving them to people. I want to give out cards at art fairs. The main solution to having more females on the site of course is just more people here at all. The reason I’m anonymous… Is because I don’t want people to know that I want to take away their pervy avatars and signatures. I’m kind of a tender artist. So getting a bunch of ignores all at once does hurt my feelings.
I want this to be a place where we can anonymously discuss these issues. Without having any flack coming back onto the people that are trying to post here.
Thank you so much for contributing number three. I have heard from other users that they have had some creepy stuff happen. And when they tried to do something about it, they were really unimpressed with follow through.
But I can go back and edit my original article because of your input. Thank you.

Yeah I mean if everyone on the site wasn't a faggot it might attract more females. But also most of the females on here are whores that want to be stalked and harassed and creeped on. So why expect users to change their behavior to make it easier on them? I see no reason.
Also this site is just a sausage fest by nature. I don't know I'm starting to get the impression that real females or something don't like going on a website and talking about growing mushrooms or even growing mushrooms. Like 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 years ago that was a totally different culture and when this website was new yeah it had tons of females. Most of them just turned out to be drug whores though.
Like I feel like these days real girls are in college and one of their friends or something gets them some acid or something whatever but it's just not a big thing I think these days for females to like drop out of college and use the money to grow a bunch of mushrooms or grow a bunch of mushrooms in the dorm when they're in college even if it sounds cool I think they just like to stay away from junkies like us.
Decided such a sausage fest when you go to the ladies night Forum a few girls will make a post and make a few posts and then after a page or so it just turns into 30 guys talking and talking and talking.
I think if you want to be in the real females get off of this site and stop growing streams and stop taking drugs and wasting your life away and never having a job and never going to college and just being broke and living on your friends couch or in your mom's basement just getting high having no cash and actually you know go out and meet some people.
This side is not the site to pick up drug whores and expect them not to be drug whores and actually expect them to be fine intellectual females that are challenging and intelligent like someone you'd meet in college that's taking classes to get a law degree or a doctor degree or something like that.
This is a place for a bunch of gay dudes by the thousands to come and talk about drugs all day in just a few select drug whore females to come and Mingle.
And some dudes even spend all their time in a user created forum talking about slamming cock in other mens anus all day. But is the shroomery going to be thriving with females if everyone stops stalking them? No. Probably the few females we actually have that enjoy that will be gone.

Then we can have more art, music, and perspectives. Even if you dont agree with someones lifestyle. You can still be moved by their art.
But you’re terrible take did give me a wonderful idea. So thanks #4, you hateful bigot.

What if when somebody reports someone and it results in them getting banned. For disgusting hate speech for instance. Just off the top of my head. It should be permanent…
What if there was a special medal that showed up on profiles. It had a little number next to it. Of people they had gotten banned. It could go from gold to maybe platinum. Then rainbow flowing gif. If they got certain amount of people banned. >10 50+ 100+
Or, maybe an even better idea. The moderator that banned somebody gets a lil kill count on their profile. That shows how many people they have banned. A badge of honor.
I think people need to respect the fact that hate speech will get you banned a lot more. So if it was more visible. Example: “oh, look at this. This person’s gotten a couple thousand people banned. Because they’re a moderator. Maybe I shouldn’t be popping off so much crazy hate speech & and ruining the vibes here.”

 Do we check up on the interactions between the person who got banned & the person who got them banned. Or perhaps have them already blocked from being able to interact with that person when they come back. Because I feel like the chance of abuse happening again is quite high.

I know that I am just throwing ideas out here. I mean no disrespect. Always know that I am so happy to just get to be in your art castle. I just want it to be as beautiful as it can be.
 Would it be possible to have an option that when you make a thread. You cannot let people comment on it?
I feel like this would be another form of creation. That we don’t have the option for unless you’re a moderator. I don’t want to discourage discussion. But on certain talking points. Especially considering the political climate. Sometimes it’s best to just have a questionnaire with no ability to have a flame war underneath it.

Shut the fuck up and get a life. If you honestly cared about sticking up for women and banning stalkers you would make this post in a non Anonymous forum.
You're clearly one of the stalkers and want to see how people react to the behavior. That way you can figure out how to stock the "girls on the shroomery" even better and know the protocol for when they catch you.
The sad thing is it's not like you can sneak into some girls room and sniff her panties or her dirty socks because it's just the internet. All you can do is stalk the user and then make these posts and claim it's in the name of banning the stalkers and showing respect to women.
Pathetic. yet entertaining.

You're as much stimulating a flame war as anybody else. I would say this post should be moved to the complaints forum. But since it's Anonymous there's no way that's possible.
And such a case I would just like a moderator to lock this thread. It's really a cry for attention. Maybe the site isn't supposed to be about how many of the users are women but more how to give advice on how to grow mushrooms and stuff like that.
Think about it. The very point of this threat is a flame to begin with.

Surprise surprise. Moderators can see you. And & your hate speech you just said. So guess what…
 You’re just proving why this needs to be done anonymously.
Also, when called out. Fascists usually try to have the person calling them out arrested or otherwise thrown out. So way to go trying to refract all of the blame on to me. When I’m trying to expose you as the dirty bigot you are. No ones convinced. Ya still got reported.
You’re just a petulant child who wishes they could give me zero mushrooms right now. You’re the reason why we don’t have women on the site. You and your toxic masculinity. You & other people like you drive all the women running in droves.
I bet you talk some really hateful stuff about women on other threads. I wish you were banned permanently.
Cry for me number 4, your hated by all women who get to know you.

My history checks out. I in fact, love women. And would never do anything to hurt them. You on the other hand. I’m sure abuse women all the time. So please take your opinions and you’re disgusting stance away from me. And do everyone a favor. Never go near any women again….

You're never going to attract more women to this site.
They'll stumble across it and if they want to try to be involved in the community, they'll create a username and start posting.
I think the better question is "how do we create an environment that women want to spend time in?"
I don't know why it is so important to you that there is a larger population of women here but I don't know why it isn't obvious.
If people are allowed to outright utilize hate speech and racial slurs and the sexuality and relationships forum is full of incel posts or "why I don't like fat girls" or dating advice that says "use ugly girls as practice to flirt with." Any person who tries not to be a misogynistic asshole gets called a "simp" or a "white knight" by at least on person.
Why would you think that women or would make up a larger portion of the interactive community here?
And why are you worried about women but not POC or other minority groups?
Or how about the posting here about women who DO grow and are public about it and gain any attention then some dude comes in whining about how this woman is only getting notoriety for being a woman and complains that she has no merit and why don't WE get that notoriety and blah blah fucking blah boofuckinghoo.
How about the blatant transphobia here?
How about that hate and vitriol that gets spewed against women any time someone starts an abortion thread?
Even the guys who think they're "on women's side" and think they're helpful are missing the point in acting like women are SO much different and unique and that the "female brain" is so much more complex and harder to figure out then men's.
"What do women want in a partner?" "What's attractive to women?" Probaly the same qualities men find attractive.
Ya'll treat women who like psychedelics like a novelty. They're not- go to any festival and you will learn that real quick. Women who like Psychedelics are every where.
You want to create a better environment for women? Do what you need to do in real life and hold each other accountable for shitty behavior and misogyny.

The reason why women in particular. It’s because realistically, I feel like we have roughly 13% women to 83% men ratio here. While in reality. 49% of the world is women… We need to close that gap a lot more. A better enviroment in general is the goal, no more number 4s lol. Ty for posting I think everything you said is completely on point. We need to put a hard stop to all this hate speech it’s crazy. I said lets respect women even if they aren’t here.
Killed my thread conpletely. Super sad for me because a lot of my buddies were posting up until that point. Such a stinky man cave of a place sometimes. But I really like it. I want everyone to get a chance to see it the way I do. But then some number four shows up and reminds me how much of a wild west this is. It’s sad… I had somebody leave hate speech in a review of me. After I argued for affordable housing for an entire day against them. When I told a mod, he told me to stop being “such a sissy, man” Eventually a different mod saw it and removed it. But I was pretty disappointed that the initial mods reaction was to “man up” When I reported hate speech…

I feel like instead of trying to take turns, guessing who all the anonymous people here are. Maybe we should be trying to help the community. Does anybody have any ideas?
Also, no one cares what you think four. You’re a sucker who doesn’t care about women. Stop trying to incite a mob and go respect them for a change. Call your mother you tramp.😂

Naked pictures do not offend me. What I find the most offensive is being called a whore by someone I dont even know. SO much harassment on here that I often leave for awhile and come back. Sometimes I leave for longer periods... It is not ok. It is bad. It is so bad I often have messages from men apologizing for the other mens behavior and comments. It is absolutely ludacris the way some men act.
