This thread isn't really about Smithy. If you wanted to start one up about him, then I'm sure he'd pop in and laugh at it though.

Can we not. This isn't a thread about digging at current members.

If your going to randomly take digs at current member get out

Actually, disregard the thing I said before, a few things she did were awful.

[Gstar]

I met Stacey on another forum almost two years ago, we went from hating each other to keeping in contact for all this time. She's controversial and when you get to know her she really is harmless. Definitely yes

[Samm]

It's bring back banned members day

[Gstar]

People should know what they're getting themselves into when posting photos online anyway

[Z]

Can we not act like the photo thing was the only reason why Stacey was banned though? It was the reason that she was given the ban, but it was the cherry on top of a pile of other reasons that had left her on thin ice with the moderating team. I don't know what everyone else is referring to when they say other members have used pictures but I would guess that if other people have used pictures of TiBB members then they were considered isolated incidents by the staff and not a reason to permanently ban that member.

The other situation was when Mollie was outed and members contacted her friends and family in real life. How is that not worse and more worrying for members than Stacey childishly saving photos incase she needed to use them against someone? you already noted how horrible tibb was back then.

That's true, but I can only speak on behalf of the mods relating to the Stacey thing because I was one back then, but after that horrible period of people fighting all the time and people getting banned left, right and centre, I decided to step down, not good for my enjoyment of the site .

To be honest with the whole Mollie thing I thought it was a gross invasion of privacy, even if Mollie was a fake member and what they were doing was wrong, it was still way too far to take the law into their own hands - but I don't really know anything about that situation, I don't know what went down.

This was the final straw for me as a mod and why I stepped down.

I think for me, there were decisions being made that I personally couldn't stand behind and I just decided that I wanted to be a regular member again.

It's sometimes really scary here, especially when things like the mollie thing happened.

that is an awful thing and if you are supporting this kind of behaviour I think you should be excluded from this site. blackmail is a terrible and nasty thing

Well you would because you don't know the whole story.

no I don't know the whole story but the way you phrased it 'in case she needed it to use it against someone' makes me feel that you and her are unpleasant

Clearly you don't either, as has already been pointed out in this thread on several occasions. Doing what Stacey did is exactly the reason why people should not post photos of themselves on the internet - she is the type of person to beware of, she can't be trusted. I can't see a couple of years changing that.

For what its worth, my opinion on the mollie thing is this

The person (I wont name names but I know who it was) who contacted her family should have been permabanned immediately. That is a gross invasion of privacy and not something that should ever be tolerated.

I dont know too much about the rest of it, but I kinda get why the 'investigation' happened, as 'mollie' has been planning on meeting one of our members...and I think that member actually did go to where they were meant to meet?

But the contacting her family was absolutely disgusting and everytime I see that ****ing stalker post I feel nothing but contempt for him. Which is a shame because I liked him before that.

This I agree with.

I'm surprised you didn't focus on Jordan thinking that using someone's photo against them was seemingly harmless

I was giving my opinion on the mollie situation, which is totally unrelated to stacey...

I agree that blackmailing someone with their photos (that you hunted down offsite) is very very wrong. And that it could really upset someone. I mentioned in my last post how creepy it is and stuff
