pushka Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Gone, but not forgotten..and very much missed! Please could somebody explain what has happened over the last 24 hours, when accounts appear to have been deleted? I am concerned whether any of the users have been banned and haven't been notified why, or given any prior warnings? I find it very sad as new members will possibly be put off from joining in discussions openly if they feel they are to be banned unceremoniously!! Please, moderators, Heather...explain what's happened..restore mine and others' faith in the site, and help to get our lost posters back again!!! Yours groverlingly, (just made that word up, lol) Pushka! Quote
the Ogre Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Yours groverlingly, (just made that word up, lol) Well,I agree with your concern, but I was sondering if you talk like your mouth is filled with marbles, are covered in blue fur and are you currently in your Super-Grover red-cape.Aaron the Ogre Quote
pushka Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 Lol Aaron!!! My spelling was terrible... Btw...I love Grover!!! My favourite Sesame St. character :) Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Violation of site rules results in account deletion. Multiple accounts sharing the same IP address isn't allowed. One account per person. I was asked to delete one account by the person who owned it. Why? There are dynamics and drama going on behind the scenes that some people don't want posted to the forums. If you don't trust the site or the moderators, I guess that's your choice. If new members don't want to participate, that's their choice. Quote

pushka Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 CK..Why was Emma not informed that she was going to be banned prior to her account being deleted? Surely she should have had a chance to know why she was being banned, and hopefully a chance to explain the situation? I don't know about anything going on 'behind the scenes', but surely posters who are banned, or about to be banned, should have the opportunity to defend themselves. Quote

Pushka, I understand your concern, but I think PM is the best place to discuss this, don't you?Especially since you are worried about new folks gettin offended. Quote
pushka Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 True, Yediyd...sorry, I didn't think about the consequences of this! Quote
Palerider Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 That wasn't very nice, Jason!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
pushka Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 Good riddance!Why'd ya say that Jason? I know you didn't always see eye to eye with said posters, but surely even you don't think they deserved being banned?Sorry Yediyd, I had to reply to this! Quote

prisonchaplain Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 This kind of thing has happened two or three times in the 20 months or so I've been here. The moderators are sometimes accused of being too passive, and then, on these rare occasions, of being too draconian. IMHO, judge this tree by its fruit. We have a site where LDS are mostly encouraged, and when well-meaning friends like myself can come in, share and learn, and not feel threatened, belittled, or stifled. So, without any judgment on those who may have left, I do indeed trust our moderators to be fair and to usually err on the side of mercy. Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 PC, your check's in the mail. Seriously, I'm glad that you don't feel ostracized or left out because you're not LDS. You're one of my favorite contributors to this site. Strangely enough, you follow the site rules. Hmmmm, what a coincidence. B) Quote
john doe Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Hmmmm, based on some of my recent run-ins with certain people here, I'm surprised my account hasn't been deleted yet. Maybe the other shoe hasn't dropped yet? Quote
BenRaines Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Pam keeps asking for mercy for you John. I don't know why but she does. :) Quote
pushka Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 I'm generally happy with the way Mods on here do their job. In this particular case, I do have some doubts, however, as suggested by Yediyd, I have dealt with these in PMs rather than continuing to air my opinions in public. Quote

pam Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 Now JD dear BIL of mine. You know I love ya. Again just don't tempt me. Quote
