True Crime Wave: A Conversation With Our Moderator


Listen Later

Today, we will discuss issues around moderation with Elle, the moderator for our Facebook group. If you'd like to join, search Murder Sheet Discussion Group on Facebook — just remember to follow the rules! We spoke with Elle about how moderators can help save true crime.

In our new segment, True Crime Wave, we’ll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims’ families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won’t get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

Nobody’s safe from surveillance and data breaches. We sometimes seem to live in a post-privacy world. But there’s something you can do to take back the power. DeleteMe is a quick, easy, and safe service that lets you remove your personal data online.

We love DeleteMe and we’ve used it long before the company sponsored us. We’re pretty outspoken in true crime and that makes a target for some pretty unstable people. The people who sit in their basement screaming nonsense can be pretty threatening when you talk about a fact they don’t like. And we all know that our old enemy TrueCrimeSwine89 won’t rest until he’s got us — definitely don’t want any information getting into his hooves. 

DeleteMe gives us peace of mind so we can focus on the important things: eating fish sandwiches, stealing cereal, and planning confusing routes for the Cain Train. If you’ve dealt with harassment or doxxing or identity theft, or if you’re just concerned about your privacy try DeleteMe. They will remove your information from hundreds of data brokers. They can help. 

Take control of your data and keep your private life private by signing up for DeleteMe. Now at a special discount for our listeners. Today get TWENTY PERCENT off your DeleteMe plan by texting SHEET to 64000. The only way to get twenty percent off is to text SHEET to 64000. That’s SHEET to 64000. Message and data rates may apply.
