I think it’s probably worth saying that aside from that, sunni is my friend, among many others here. She didn’t even used to be a mod here, just another growmie and it legitimately hurts my heart to see people diss on her as she gave up what she loved to help. Apparently y’all don’t know, she’s cool as fuck
thats very kinda of you thank you
just to be clear RBF, didnt want to abide by the rules so he was placed on slow down mode as a warning since he knew he couldnt trade here than he still didnt care so he was banned from the thread.
his account is still here and he will be automatically removed from slow down mode in 30 days from when it happened.
hopefully than he got the message if he didnt than he goes permanently. Sometimes people dont ever wanna play by the rules and they get removed, and thats a choice they make that sucks but it isnt my fault and someones great contributions dont make them safe from rules in my eyes or my moderation
I see alot of time people say i pick and chose what to mod, i dont, however I dont see everything and just because someone slipped by my radar doesnt mean its allowed or i allowed it it just means im 1 person running everything.
the thing is I agree with all of you and i wish we could just get with the times too , but we cant and it sucks and our lawyers have advised us not to open the flood gates yet.
but lets put aside the legal issue of it there is another side of it.
people get really paranoid when they hand out their addresses here and their phone numbers or private emails, i mean REALLY paranoid, than they want their entire accounts wiped and entire conversation/ PM swipes, and I have to go in every time and fix it and remove peoples phone numbers, addresses etc in their private messages when they were doing trades.
I have to calm a person down off a ledge, and I cant to tell them I can edit posts and delete some posts but i cant wipe entire accounts here,
I have to do damage reconn with someone trying to help them make sure they feel safe because they become extremely worried about what they did
let me say this isnt something that happens once in a while this is a weekly occurrence here.
ontop of that all, you dont know who you are dealing with, and you may think you know but you dont. And when bad trades go bad here they go bad.
and they get threatening. and i have to do the work to fix it.
I mean they get REALLY scary because alot of people on here maybe great people but some arent,
and its additionally alot of extra work to try to keep people safe,
so its not about advertising revenue, it is legal, but its also about your personal safety.
I hope everyone can understand this, and I hate doing this because it is horrible that our society deems a plant to be such a bad thing so i do hope for a future where its legal everywhere where we can run the site and host things like this.
