Totally INAPPROPRIATE post for this forum and else where.
 
Do you really think this is something that needs to be seen by others? Funny how you say, "I won't tag all, but just the worst" WHY? You could have just mentioned he was from your state and that it was disgusting but you posted links to the filth. Most get sick just hearing it on TV & don't need to read the details. You need to rethink your post. If you feel the need to post stuff like this, maybe find some sleazy site to do it on.

This place didn't take long to regress did it. Can't imagine this is how you gain respect or friends.


As per agreement by one of the Mods, I have taken out parts of my post. But it's important to know others just won't stand for posts like the one that was made. VERY inappropriate. Thank you Mod for helping to make this a "clean" place.

Tam are you feelling alright??

Your post is rather disjointed -
please check back in and let us know if you are OK.

But I guess there are "some" that need to read this filth for whatever reason. These are for the most UNDERAGE children he did this too. Is anyone that reads this and posts links to this any better then the guy who sent the emails in the first place?? :mad: You need to rethink your post.

I read TShawdow's post and wondered where the Mods were? I see Mod Curious came to the rescue. I agree with bettertoser as this was so unappropriate. Being in pain does not give a person the green light for this garbage.

Yes I agree. The one Mod at least saw that it had no place here or anywhere for that matter and did the right thing fast! You go Mod!!

I can't imagine what would make one think anyone would want to read what this guy did. It's sick at best. Hopefully this won't happen again.

Tam I am worried

Tam, I am worried about you. I didn';t see the whole post but get the jest of your mind, body and soul being overwhelmed with pain. Not sure what the inflection of pain was but my prayers are with you.
We have been family here and support each other...our chronic onging disabilities make us vaunerable and we use the strength of family here to pull our boots back on.
Tam, My prayers are with you to just take baby steps to get back into some type of life.

Phillipe, I pray that you never go to the place where pain takes us to. All you had to do was leave the thread unread.

As for Toser, your inference to "at least ONEmoderator comment;" this is not the purpose of the support of this forum. That is an community administrative issue. Make you comments off post to a moderator if you feel there is a moderator problem, not in the middle of someone's cry for help.

redjpwranglergirl 10-03-2006 11:33 PM

I'm not making any complaints against the mods because I think they're doing a good job on here, but I read what was posted earlier and garbage is garbage- no matter how you look at it. And pain is no excuse for posting it. We all have pain at one time or another and some are in constant pain and you don't see them posting this kind of stuff. I've been in severe pain for the last 3 days and have no pain medication for it but I don't take leave of my senses and post cr#$.....A cry for help..nonsense....If anybody needs help or support, all they need to do is ask for it and I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to give it. Or friends from the forum can be called for support. Bt2 is a different forum from what we've been used to and it appears to me that it encourages everybody to have an opinion and to voice it freely so I don't think that anybody has a right to chastise others for voicing theirs, then expect to voice their own freely- that would be a double standard. It's also a little hard to leave a thread unread when it's not marked OT or "warning" or anything like that and you've already gotten into the worst part of it. As I said, this is not OBT and hopefully it's not going to turn into a place where people "run" to the mods whenever they don't like what someone else says. And like it or not, bettertoser has as much right to post his/her opinion as the rest of us do. With bt2, there appears to be "a new sheriff in town"....And what "flew" over at OBT, might not fly here....

DiMarie 10-03-2006 11:45 PM

Perhaps that is why the moderators have to be anonymous. If we see a person editing our post that is too close to the family, one could get upset at them. Then if we don't see their name edit the post we think they did not care....

Thanks Jo for making it clear that sexually- oriented posts won't be tolerated here.

Jomar 10-04-2006 10:02 AM

Just to be clear - I went back and made some of the text bold in the sections of the guidelines.

This applies to all posts, replies as well as the original.

Di,
Your post said,"As for Toser, your inference to "at least ONEmoderator comment;" this is not the purpose of the support of this forum. That is an community administrative issue. Make you comments off post to a moderator if you feel there is a moderator problem, not in the middle of someone's cry for help.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It wasn't a cry for help, it was a link to email that was sent from a senator to young underage boys that made a specific reference to sexually explicit information.

We have all been here long enough to know what a "real" cry for help is. This wasn't one, at least in most respectable peoples minds. I would like to think this is not something anyone would want to read.

As per the guidlines, it was NOT an appropriate post, and certainly NOT a cry for help.

I also made that reference to one mod because of the fact that one of the mods posted a reply to TS and didn't say anything about her post. Most of us know that they know TS and if this is the reason why nothing was said, then maybe your comment about "being to close to the family, one could get upset at them", maybe Mods should not be friends with anyone that posts here, unless they do their jobs without playing favorites?

This is MY OPINION and I have a right to it.

End of my replies on this subject.

bettertoser 10-04-2006 12:06 PM

Hi Red, I agree with all you said.

DiMarie 10-04-2006 09:22 PM

favorits
 
First, TamS.
I am sorry about your user name being trolled. I am glad that the moderators are fair souls that could edit the problem part of the psot and understand the abuse of your name. Comes from having Moderators we can trust!

As the post was edited, there was no link.
As I said and stand by; your coment about the moderator's action was innapropriate in this post. It should have been sent through PM to the moderator or moderators'. For Your Opinion.

We also no, that the username did not post that material so there was a trolling and abuse of privacy issue. Deal with the post in that manner.

As far as having a friend on the moderators, that is great, they KNOW the personalities and intent, they pick up on when something is wrong and when trolls are in action to follow it up.
For a cry of help, based on what was visual, it and what wasn't, if it is NOT typical of TS to post in this manner, and off the wall, then either they are having a huge side effect to a medication, emotional needs, or stolen password, but something was wrong and TS neede our help! Her friends picked up on that.

This forum has been wonderful without the poopie that slings from those seeking trouble and not providing any suipportive information.

Now I am done.

tshadow 10-07-2006 10:42 PM

Di I agree with you that if someone we know posts a "weird" post, that indeed they could be having a bad reaction to their meds. I take 9 meds four times per day est., and there are another four when I have additional problems. During the first year, we tried several drugs which caused me difficulty - primarily that Topomax.

So if people are caring and supportive, before attacking I'd contact the person via PM or telephone or email, and check them out - are they ok? And point out if they've posted something objectionable - did they mean to? Sometimes what is written will "read" angry when we're not - that's happened to me a couple of times over the last few years here. I think your advice to everyone, Di, comes after having a lot of experience here and on other TOS sites where we've seen meds, pain, financial difficulties, divorce, etc., take some mental tolls on our friends.

Thanks again Di for knowing me so well - even though we've never met, and only spoken once on the phone, you are a friend. I am thankful for all of you!

gibbrn 10-08-2006 12:04 AM
