It's clearly one rule for one and another for someone else and it has been for ages. There's people you desperately protect on this forum and they get away with murder for us all to see. It's right there, especially in SD. I could argue reasons for other members to be banned over the ones that ended up banned over the last 24 hours.

:love: :love: :love:

Dude, considering the crap you throw at mods/admin continuously (mostly Josy tbh), if they wanted to be as bad as you make them out to be, they could find a reason to get rid in a heartbeat.

It's a dying forum, so maybe James, Josy, Matt, and Niamh can set up an on call rota so you can hit them up on speed dial to share your urgent forum feedback.

This isnt my forum.

It depends on the type of ban wether you lose PM function.

I'm not saying no more questions why do you jump to conclusions so much? I'm saying weve spent plenty time answering queries in here yet some come straight in and say they dont get replies, they get ignored etc and also for me personally ive spent enough of my time tonight answering them.

I dont mind answering and replying to queries when they are put across respectively but I wont waste my time answering posts that are straight out abuse towards us or unfounded accusations.

Yes those would be rules breaks.

There has been a lot of tension on here and deservedly so. 2020 has been one hell of a bad year. The videos we have had to witness have been the last straw and we cant help but feel angry

It just doesnt help when there are members here puropsely trying to wind up the situation, none of he situation is right, it is hideous, its not funny and its not big or clever

I think the main tension is caused by how often these members are allowed to wind people up and when it is questioned or people passionately give their views its hard to get our point across without getting angry

I used to enjoy this forum but at the moment it feels like a battle ground :(

Not been keeping up with the threads too much, been super busy - but it would be horrendous if some of those bans/infractions were related to showing support for BLM when there’s a specific member out the continuously baiting the forum and fighting anything and anyone for the sake of it.

I'm not sure if you've missed what's been going on the last few months but we were in the midst of a pandemic, in my real life I work for a company that are classed as key workers so have been run off our feet with work which is possibly just a tad more important than me missing a few forum posts IMHO

The other mods and admin also have personal lives that dont revolve around the forum.

well it's literally the only way to get any mods attention

Yeah the baiting is the main issue for our anger

Mods are you aware of members trying to purposely wind people up and finding it all funny?

I need an answer please

I think what needs to be done about the bans is to unban Qua, 3 weeks ban for talking about BLM is really disgusting. All you keep saying is ‘oh he spammed’ ‘oh he did this, he did that’ but all he did was talk about something important

also may ah add sleleen litrally didn't spam? ah was watching and she posted ONE (1) post saying "black lives matter" and was banned for spam

Josy has stated she finds typing differently much worse than a plethora of racist posts in a BLM thread, so I don't think you're going to get anywhere with this one unfortunately.

tea, ah think its just a vendetta cause of how ah type sometime and she just wanted to ban me for anything lmao

Use pm

No, we need posts to be reported we cant possibly see every single post.

I looked earlier as one member keeps bringing up baiting yet there is not one report from them about it in the past few days

No one is being unbanned.

A 3 week ban for supporting BLM? Very unfair

Another member got the same punishment for a threatening pm to a member

Please can I have an answer as to is this dangerous member allowed back in 3 weeks? Im not getting oersonal as I havent mentioned any names

One person in this thread complaining about mods not doing there jobs had the nerve to constantly attack me and call me obsessive over my beliefs in BLM

He posted also about a million racist things Trump has said and done in someone else's chat thread, and also apparently (I didn't see) was insulting towards posters.

No one will be using TIBB.

(unless its to educate:love:)

Admin get way too much grief when they are just doing their jobs. Give them a break a break we are in the midst of a pandemic

A chat thread doesn't belong to somebody. Just because you made it doesn't make it specifically yours. A chat thread is a thread where you can talk about ANYTHING. The Qua ban really isn't fair especially for 3 weeks after just coming back from one.

We understand that Jack

Don't forget. :love:

So you've went from asking for answers to queries to out and out lies in attempt to make us look bad?

I do hope theres plenty of members viewing this thread so that if it ends up being closed they will know the true reasons why.

No one was banned for supporting BLM

pms were literally blocked for some people lmao

not like yall respond to them anyways

When I asked a genuine question as to why the thread was merged, why did James retort to my question in such a patronising manner? Is this the standards you uphold as mods?

Hi Oliver am Sleleen and there is also someone called Qua, there’s a difference

Theres quite a few using it so not sure where you're going with this

Where is the lie? And you really can't talk, you've been gaslighting all night and it's not the first time.

oops you're right, sorry :joker:

Didn’t you lie about having coronavirus for attention?

girl he lies about everything

No, that’s a false accusation.

Its in the post I quoted.

I've answered all queries truthfully, respectively and went into detail to explain as much as possible all night.

Yet here you go with accusations as soon as your friends turn up and the thread also descends into insults

I'm done here.

Oop, MMI has munchausens then. Explains it all

:skull:

okai aaryn

I agree with this. I rarely post in SD much although I do read through the threads as some do make interesting points/ discussion but I do find that there are some members being a bit snide and trying to get a reaction out of people and that is something that needs to be addressed in my opinion. That’s something that will always put people off posting in there or why some have given up with it entirely.
