LOCKING POSTS!?

wallace101610 · January 2011

That post had no need for that. No one did anything against the RULES.

I am out. I will not hang out here under a dictator. Goodbye Nest 10 10 ers. For those of you I like thank god for FB.

Have fun book clubing and hiding out from the rest of TN for fear of people making fun of you for your lame comments!

Dominique1219 · January 2011

I was just about to reply when I saw that post was locked. What absolute absurdity, no Nest rules were broken. Maybe Nest Annie should be aware of the Mod here locking posts just because she doesn't like them.

Apparently this board doesn't follow the amendment about free speech. I forgot this board had to be a pleasurable utopia at all times. Absolutely ridiculous.

WOW!!! In two years of modding on the knot, I NEVER locked a post

Ohhhhh I'm telling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

maheard · January 2011

Hold on.. I need a chance to respond. I did lock the posts with a note to Anni about why I did. They were getting out of hand and I am getting messages about the posts upsetting other girls on the board. It was in no way meant for me to be a dictator but to get things to calm down.

If Anni chooses to unlock them then fine and I am new to this. If I did something wrong than Anni can tell me and I will deal with the consequences then.

Seriously my apologies.

Did you read the rules before becoming a mod??? Just b/c you don't like a thread, DOES NOT give you the right to lock it. And yes, I'm sure there will be a bunch of us contacting Annie about this also. Terrible.

bklyn10910 · January 2011

Wow, I had no idea locking posts was even possible! Things here have gotten crazy. I miss the old days at Knot where we weren't treated like children and there were no abuses of power. Think I'll be on FB even more these days.

lizzonyc · January 2011

Yeah it sucks that someone comes at me...I respond...and my thread gets locked....it's all a little one sided, no??

chantico23 · January 2011

Come on guys, you have to admit that those 3 threads were getting super out of control. I don't think Montana was trying to be a dictator, but was trying to calm things down while she waited for further direction from Anni. Give her a break.

futuremrsbrian · January 2011

Yeah, there was no need to lock those posts... arguments are allowed, no one was being 'victimized', no one was cursing. Overkill.

Well, that's because the "new" girls decided to take over and you are one of the "oldies." Duhhh, you don't matter anymore because you don't tell everyone how great they are and post how much you love this board all of the time. I still can't believe posts got locked. Un-freaking-real.

And what further directions is she looking for? People disagree, that's life. There was no name calling or anything that goes against nest rules, at all.

Anabeth420 · January 2011

I think Montana did the right thing, this is not a b!tchfest and shouldn't be allowed to become one. That's why there's a mod.

And Liz, Sara didn't attack you, she point blank stated it wasn't an attack on you, that it was a general statement. This board has always been two sided and now it's become us-against-them and it's BS.

It sucked enough to feel unwanted on TK b/c I didn't see the boards until April, but now to still be considered not "fun" or a "newbie" is bull. I'm all for puppies, rainbows, oral sex, and anything that doesn't make me feel like sh!t.

lizzonyc · January 2011

I know..its not like I'm a troll...I was the friggen mod on the knot for TWO years...never ONCE had a complaint...

and I make one post to defend myself and it gets locked....thats friggen weak man

I'm with Crystal. This board OFFICIALLY sucks...

See ya'll on FB where I can speak freely and not get "locked"

I concur. COMPLETELY out of hand. I think Montana is doing a great job.

ddumire · January 2011

Yeah, maybe things were getting out of hand. I don't agree with locking the posts. No one was being threatening and I think these things have to be worked out to their natural conclusion.

There definitely seems to be a chasm over "oldies" vs. "newbies", I've heard it in several posts. I have no idea what the rules are, but we're all adults and this is just a discussion forum. Everyone has the right to an opinion and a disagreement.

As for the first bold part, the nest CAN be a b!tchfest as long as no rules are broken, which there weren't.

As for the second bold part:

Sara said, : I love the girls on this board & I'm absolutely not taking a shot at you here Liz. But if you think it sucks, no one is forcing you to stay & read & have an attitude about it. If you don't like it, don't read it. I apologize if the post-wedding conversation isn't what YOU wanted it to be, but there's no point on people sh!tting all over a board that the rest of us enjoy being a part of.

It's obvious the intention there was to call out Liz, or else exact verbage wouldn't have been used in the rest of the paragraph Sara wrote about the board "sucking" and whatnot. Also, to say "not to take a shot at you Liz" to me is like someone saying "No offense" before a statement...the words following "no offense" are always offensive, and the person saying it knows it's offensive or else they wouldn't have to apologize/excuse themselves first.

I feel like if someone is going to call someone else out, they should at least hold themselves accountable for it. If Sara didn't like what Liz said...great, we all have different opinions, but don't try to halfassedly address a person, just do it. It's just sad now how some girls on this board can't accept the opinions and statements of others unless they are positive.

I stick around here because a lot of the time there are discussions I care about, but at the same time I'm getting annoyed with this ridiculous idealistic attitude that's changing the whole dynamic of this board. I'm just so confused as to why honesty and differing opinions are so frowned upon lately.

lavieboheme73 · January 2011

Meh...I don't particularly agree with locking posts, but I figure if that's the worst thing to happen to me today, I'm doing pretty good. There are so many more important things about which to get one's knickers in a twist. No need for EITHER side to get all personal just because we don't agree with how someone else plays the game.

This is a chat board, not life and death...if you're getting all blown away over it, you're taking it far too seriously.

I agree! Having a different opinion on something and expressing that is one thing, and completely OK with me. All this drama is way over the top though. We're all adults here, let's try to express our opinions as such.

msmerymac · January 2011

Absolutely no one did anything wrong. We were having an ADULT conversation about a serious topic (I guess, to some people). No one was being disrespectful at all.

Wow. I wasn't upset at all about this situation, but this really boils my blood. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about in the other thread. People shouldn't let comments on the internet that aren't personal attacks, but might be somewhat critical, to hurt their feelers.

If THAT was controversial I really don't know how some people function in the real world.

I have no idea how or why it was getting out of control. Look at the last few posts. People were joking and ending their posts with "lol" and "haha."

I've seen things get out of control. People saying, "we should all be allowed to express our opinion, even if it is unpopular on this board" is being mean or "out of control"?

Absolutely not! People SHOULD be allowed to express their opinion, even if it is unpopular. Name calling and cattiness is what I was referring to. I love having a spirited discussion where opinions differ. I think it is interesting and I often walk away having learned something new. But we should act like adults during those discussions, and not stoop to cheap digs.

Xan921 · January 2011

Blah blah blah blah blah...let's all move on ladies. None of this is really THAT big of a deal. It's a new week, in a new year...let's all just take a few deep breaths and move on. Done and done Cool

So, basically, what I'm gathering is that a lot of my favorite people are leaving? Well... that sucks

THIS. I wasn't around this weekend but this is seriously ridiculous. I'm amazed at the immaturity that is being displayed. Grow up.
