Wow, I leave for a while to rest because I am not feeling well today and look at what happens?!??!?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Ok, so the threa about iding trolls gets locked.... that in itself is ok if it needs to be.... but why is it locked? There's indications it got out of hand. So will all the hands that helped it get that way, please raise them? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I've got mine up.

If you posted on there, take an honest look and see if you can identify individual posts who helped get this thread and others locked. When that is done, then ask why...... why are we spending time writing posts that get threads locked, when we could be writing posts to either get our true concerns addressed or give support. After all, isn't that what MB is suppose to be about?

This post is another attempt to help us get back on track.

Thanks,
L.

I'm so tired of all the nasty posts. Obviously I missed something that happened, and I respect MM and am sorry for any pain it caused.

I HATE the fact that people can be diagnosed as bipolar, and quickly, right on this board. And I don't know how people know who posted before as someone else, and their story, and frankly, I DON'T CARE.

I HATE people using the word RETARD. It is extremely hurtful to some people who are dealing with developmental problems.

Actually I'm surprised that MORE threads don't get locked and sooner.

I reviewed my post, Orchid.

It's clear to me that it must have been the Mountain Trolls. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> They are big and ugly and carry a big stick! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


Seriously, the Mod locks threads most often in an attempt to keep the peace and get folks back to trying to help other members who are seeking help for their situations.

At least that's what I think.

I think some will inevitably get locked since the way that they started left little to no room for anything related to the purpose of these boards. For instance, a thread that is started to coddle a troll is most likely to eventually get locked down....since posters, myself included, will only sit still for so long before responding to the enabled parties words.
Other threads get locked down because they become a pointless debate that gets bogged down by a complete lack of logic or purpose.
And yes, MB is here to lend support. It is NOT here to enable or coddle would be adulterers.

Who is it hurtful TO, believer?

Oh for heavens sake Orchid - don't be so disingenious.

Stupid threads like this only stir up more trouble.

and it's the job of the MODS to determine when we are off track and I think they do just fine.

She knows that BK.

Seriously Orchid you can't possibly think that starting a thread to spank your peers would be helpful at all...that makes NO sense to whatsoever...

Mrs. W

L,

They become locked because from the Moderator's POV they have potential to cause more harm than good.

Best,
Jo

OH CRAP, here comes the private chat folks...... ZZZZZZZZZZ

That's it folks.... getcha tin-foil conspiracy caps on.....

What happened to your being kinder believer?

Mrs. W

well, I am not part of that chat...but I will tell you B, that group of people at least has their heads on straight. When it comes to this latest issue on these boards, i am shocked at the people here that are so openly supporting this would be adulterous troll. Shocked, disappointed and disgusted.

MEDC - Like I said above - I missed whatever caused the big uproar. I DID try to look up old posts, but there were so many in different threads, I gave up before I found it. But there is still NO EXCUSE for the backbiting that I saw all day today.

I realize that MM is UPSET. And I think there must be a reason. And I obviously missed that part. But really, the more attention someone gets, the more they come and try to rile folks up.

So believer, then we are just supposed to shut up and be okay with someone that is posting here to get help to STEAL ANOTHER WOMAN'S HUSBAND??? That makes no sense to me...

Mrs. W

believer: Is that your way of saying you will stop?

I can't imagine what the people reading here who haven't yet posted think about this bickering!!!!!!! Sad, sad, sad.

BK,

I am surprised at your post. As for stirring up trouble, that was NEVER the intent.

There are others here that probably would appreciate good constructive support and right now the posts getting the majority of the attention are those NOT giving good support.

Is it too much to ask we get back on track and give support where we can?

Listen all, if a poster comes on board with the wrong intent, not feeding their posts will kill their desire. If a poster has a genuine need or concern and it seems to be a bit foggy as to the intent, this too in time will be manifested. Give it time and patience. Harping or jumping to conclusions doesn't make one look good and clouds the message.

In just a few minutes, this thread had 16 posts. I just posted it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Obviously there's a lot of strong feelings about this stuff.

Is it too much to ask we refocus and help where we can do the most good?

JMHO,
L.

I'd be more concerned if I showed up here as a newbie and saw an adulteress being supported.
