As I have told a couple of you, an unmoderated site where trolls are allowed to post without any consequences is something that just gives me too much heartburn. I get angry and upset about it. God only knows I don't need anymore stress in my life.
Some of you may think this is an over reaction, it maybe. I moderate a rather large internet forum. I deal will stuff everyday there. I don't want to have to deal with it here too.
I have found all of you to be wonderful, kind people and I am sorry that your forum is being minimized by these jerks. I am also sorry I don't have the stomach for it.
Hopefully the owner of this board will become more active and proactive and keep these people out. Until then, I'll only be visiting occasionally.
Thanks to all of you who have been wonderful support to me. Only my best wishes go out to you all in our struggle against this wretched disease.
Me too.Sorry to see you go. I have reported the posts and sent some strong pm's as well. Hopefully this matter can be resolved quickly.
Take care.
I also reported them, and am sorry to see you go. They win.
I own and run a site as well. We ban trolls and IPs. I
wish someone would do something. I don't want to be here much
either.
Please don't everyone leave, I was just getting to know everyone and enjoy coming here to unwind.I'm not leaving here, but a site can be ruined if someone isn't taking
care of it. Who wants to hang out with spammers all day. I
just feel very frustrated being here reading. I don't even have
the option to set these people to ignore.
I agree that this is annoying but if everyone stops coming here they win. I know it's hard to ignore but we can't let them win by chasing us away from our support system. Many of us only have this site as a release and I'd hate to see the trolls win.Totally agree with Jay, we should ignore and plain refuse to answer them. Just maybe everytime they get on bump them out of the way, lol, maryI third Jay's remarks. Ignore their posts! Don't respond to them. Just like immature kids, without a reaction, they will not act. Please don't leave us! I just found y'all and I really appreciate the support! Stay! Just ignore their posts. Don't read them and they can't bother you!The best we can do is just ignore them since trying to ask them to back off does not work. vtmngirl I am sorry to see you go and to the rest please do not go we are here for each other but unfortunately we get some trolls every so often but eventually they go away. meme
You guys better not disappear w/o letting us know, we start to get concerned when a regular just vanishes!!!!
Does anyone know who manages this site? Really strange that there is no moderator around. I don't post much but am sorry that this poster is chasing people off. I find this place to be very upbeat and good postings. Of course I know there are people with down days but the postings are always informative and good natured. Never pushy. (until recently) But this is a good place to be.. Ignoring someone drives them nuts but in time they cease and move on. Good Luck everyone.
RozBuds As far as the trolls, I not only have reported them to this forum but also to the FCC. One on the trools is pratcing with out a license, and the other is slandering, and placing his self in a liable suit quoting from books and doctors he refuses to make reference to. I am very fortunate that I know about law, and how to manage to get some things done. Im sure it wont be long before they are being kept from this site. Good luck to all. If anyone needs to report the posts just hit the report button to the top right of the post that you want to report and enter the reason why you are reporting.
Sometimes that works with the pain too but only when it's mild.
