Whatever happened to the poster...............

Judaline — Sat, 26 May 2018 20:44:27 GMT

"ennui"? I always thought it was such a clever nick and I love the word, anyway. It occurred to me I haven't seen her posting for quite a while.

@Judaline Never heard of that poster but I can tell you almost all the posters that I used to interact with are gone. I know a few left because they said too many of their comments were being deleted. I also know several have been ill. It definitly has changed here, which is why I don't post often.

@BalletBabe

Makes valid points, personally can't imagine becoming close with someone never met, I'm cautious about emotional connections on social media.

@Sweet_Serenity You know I felt that way at one time. It never happened here, but several years ago, I was playing a game called ice breakers on aol. They had a chat on the side of the game and several of us got to really like each other. Aol started having issues with the chat, and everyone was having a fit that we could not talk anymore. I opened a chatroom for us and we met in there for about 8 years and had a blast. We meet on facebook now. These girls sent my hubby a shower chair when he was sick. They pitched in and sent me money when my hubby passed. They have all become some of the best friends I ever had.

One or more of the mods or maybe the web site software have been banning posters permanently -- forever - for simple things like flagging a post even when the flagged post is removed by the mod as inappropriate.

No warnings just permanant bans. I know this from other comments here on the boards and from some of the Facebook group conversations.

So now people are afraid to post or report anything.

Not a good atmosphere.

I find that extremely hard to believe.

@Judaline, I remember ennui too.

@BalletBabe, I remember you and I think your story about your online friends helping you IRL is special. I am sorry for your loss❤️. LM

I thought so too the first couple of times people told us.

But then it happened to more people and some of the women are women I've known for years.

Just be careful because something's different than before and you don't want to lose your access. I offer it as a heads up in case it helps someone else.

Thank You @Lilysmom. I remember you as well. They are a very special group of girls.

@Judaline, I miss her, too. She had some lively, interesting posts and was such an asset to the community. If my memory isn't too fuzzy... I think she used to post quite a bit on the pearl threads and also that she and @esmeraldagooch were friends?

If so, perhaps they're still in touch away from here. I hope she's doing well.

❤️ @BalletBabe❤️ You've been through so much sadness. My heart goes out to you. I agree with you about forming connections on the internet -- I've done so, and with only one exception that comes to mind I've found people of good will, loving hearts, and sweet, supportive spirits. I'm glad you found this, too.

I don't find @luvmydoggies' comment hard to believe, and I do think it's an important and factual heads up. I'd rather presume that's she wants to relay beneficial information. My reaction is partly because I think most people are truthful and I give them the benefit of the doubt -- but, in this case, especially since I've become aware of some similar very perplexing situations and I know it's true in their cases. Haven't spoken up about them because I'm still extremely puzzled by some of the confusing changes that seem to be underway.

To avoid being banned for flagging. If you see many offensive posts in a single thread and you flag all of them, well, I think that's obvious to understand, though not fair imo to ever ban the person doing the reporting. If you were part of that discussion, sometimes you are caught in the same net as the offensive people. It's how you react that determines your fate.

People react differently when it happens to them. Some cuss out the mods in emails or over the phone ranting about all the bad apples who are left and how dare they eliminate you. Those who do that usually don't get back on.
