get banned from the fanclub board any minute now for objecting to them deleting a reply of mine without saying a word to me about why what I said was so wrong [img]frown.gif[/img]
To say I'm annoyed at this point would be an understatement.
Edited to apologise for bringing another fanclub board issue over here, especially after I promised Ivana I wouldn't do that again.

I know which thread now! It's becoming a bit of a Dictatorship over there now isn't it? [img]frown.gif[/img]

Just slightly [img]frown.gif[/img]
*wonders if it was one of the 'invisible' mods that did it*

I dunno *sighs*
Mind you, it's not necessarily the invisible mods cos I'm sure that the 'visible' mods have been guilty of moving/deleting posts and threads without letting the author know beforehand or offering an explanation of why. Apparently, the f/c doesn't have to let you know as, and I quote: The moderators have the right to pull any threads that they feel are not complying with our guidelines. Moderator's decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into.

*gets on knees and begs for forgiveness*
I'm soooooo sorry I said initially that sometimes people take things too seriously over there.

I've decided 'Dictatorship' isn't quite the word that I'm looking for as the f/c forum clearly isn't the domain of just 1 mod. I can't think of another word to express my thoughts though..... [img]confused.gif[/img]
I need a words that means "run by the few (with an iron fist) for the many".
Briefly pops in, the girls and I are watching 4 Weddings & A Funeral atm.
I have just read said thread [img]eek.gif[/img] , does anyone know what is going on over there, especially the staff??? *speechless*!!!
I think the 'staff' know EXACTLY what's going on over there Barb but they ain't telling anyone else!!! [img]wink.gif[/img] LMAO!

I think the word you are looking for is "Oligarchy" [img]wink.gif[/img] It means a government (in this case that F/C) run by a small group of elite/select people! I rest my case! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oooh! I KNEW there was a word out there! [img]wink.gif[/img]
It's perfect! According to the dictionary, it's '....government by a small exclusive class; a state so governed; a small body of (wo)men who have the supreme power of state in their hands' [img]eek.gif[/img]
Bloody spot on hun! [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]
LMMFAO!
Just as an interesting side note, the government of Colonel Peron and his wife Evita in Argentina during the 1950's was an Oligarchy. Kind of like a military junta who were eventually toppled [img]wink.gif[/img]
Yep, over there-------> it's run by The Oligarchs!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

*snorts* You [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] you! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Ok maybe they don't want to discuss why it got deleted but i would think it would be the polite thing to at least say "Hey it was me that deleted it for this reason" and that be it! @_@
But this sounds like a familiar behaviour i've noticed in the past even back on the Sony bbs :X
Oh Janie nice word [img]smile.gif[/img]
I leaned something new today
and I also learned that nothing seems to change over there.
I just can't be bothered going over there I need fun when I come online [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm sorry they have no humor over there Michelle

What's that thread about? What did you say?
It was about there being a guest on the fanclub forum and the person who started it said they were disappointed that it had been taken so seriously. So I said in my first reply that they would find that happening a lot on those boards.
When I looked at that thread again today my reply had vanished [img]frown.gif[/img] I did another reply and since then one of the mods has apologised and said she doesn't know who deleted the other one [img]confused.gif[/img]

I like to hear the f/c issues here [img]tongue.gif[/img] IT makes me realise how stupid things can be and how im glad to not be part of it all. Also gawd you need somewhere to discuss it. So bring it on babeeee!!!
but yeah that would just about cause me to blow a fuse.. you cant operate in that kind of environment.

If they deleted that, I'm surprised there's anything left on that board.
Reading this makes me happy I don't post there.
I'm sorry to hear things have gone from bad to worse Michelle.
Maybe they're due for a takeover... where those of us with F/C memberships go over there and dominate all the boards with real topics and constructive discussion. I mean how many threads can they delete at one time? [img]wink.gif[/img] I'm always in the mood for a coup. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Hugs -- Chai
LOL i think you should Chai, that'd be hilarious! *G*
I'm up for that Chai! [img]wink.gif[/img]
I might as well make my presence felt over there before my membership expires! [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] *muahahahaha*
Looks like I missed something over the weekend [img]confused.gif[/img] LOL
Although I didnt read any of the thread, I'm sure the mods had a good reason to do what they did.. I guess I have faith in them.. maybe thats a bad thing, but you know *shrugs* [img]smile.gif[/img] Just my opinion, I dont mean to offend those who differ in opinion [img]smile.gif[/img]
Sorry its upset/pissed you off though Michelle [img]graemlins/boy_hug.gif[/img]
Jen
xox
Actually Jen, having read Michelle's reply before it was deleted, I can assure you that the mods definately had NO good reason to delete it hun. It wasn't disrepectful, mean or nasty in any way. The only thing I can think of was that it didn't quite fit in with their idea of the DH Utopia that they're trying to create/sell over there. [img]confused.gif[/img]

Terry, I guess having not read her reply I cant judge it for myself - so I dunno, I think I'll stay neutral on this one [img]wink.gif[/img] *jumps up on the fence* - I like it here LOL I guess blind faith in people's judgement isnt always the best thing - maybe I'm just naive or put too much faith in people [img]confused.gif[/img]
Still, whatever happened [img]graemlins/boy_hug.gif[/img] 's Michelle coz its got her pissed off [img]frown.gif[/img]
That's cool Jen. [img]smile.gif[/img]
As you said, you didn't read the reply so it's right to stay neutral. [img]smile.gif[/img]
