Feminist website Jezebel gets deluged with rape porn gifs.

16. So, they'll let their readers look at it because they don't have the stomach for it?

That's not a solution--that's an abdication. If you want to run a website you have to take responsibility for the content. That may seem harsh, but relying on "Parent Gawker" to clean up the mess is likely not going to work for them at all.

They've got a couple of choices, since they aren't having any luck demanding that their parent company do the work for them--they can either find a way to disable graphics on their site so that no one can post images of any sort, and not let anyone post any pictures or gifs, or they can moderate.

There's a third option, too--not allow any comments at all.

They have a mistaken idea that identifying an IP address will solve their problems--it won't. Creepy people who frequent 4chan are just the types who have enough know-how to get around that kind of stuff. It's what they LIVE for. We've seen some famous trolls here at DU that just love operating right under the radar, goading, baiting, and making life miserable for ordinary posters looking for political discussion. These jerks are cut from the same cloth, only more obvious and more blunt. They just may have to hire someone who DOES have the stomach for that kind of work--because right now, someone IS having to do the job anyway.
