I am the only administrator of the site. However, we have many moderators of the site that help keep the site free of innapropriate comments, pictures, etc. I do not delete anything because I, personally, feel it is innapropriate. As the site admin, I have to think of all members. When another member reports something to me as innapropriate, I will look into the situation and take a neutral stance on the matter. Who could that offend? What will the other members think and feel? Any moderator can delete items and if they feel it warrants another step, they escalate it on to me. Rather than feeling like the moderators are against you, thank them for their work. They help keep the site friendly and welcoming for all of you. We try not to delete members, but will when they knowingly or continuously break policy. If it is more severe, we will block a member from the site. We do not mind members posting their opinions on certain things. However, controversial topics are just that: controversial. There will always be members that feel strongly one way or the other, which is where the hurtful debates and unecessary drama begins. To avoid that, we ask that members not post about controversial subjects. When posting material to the website, we do ask that you consider other people's feelings. How will what you are about to say sound to other members? Will it be hurtful or offensive? Is the photo that you are about to share with millions of other internet users appropriate? Thanks!

There are a lot of mods....and in RobinG`s defense, I`ve seen her comment in some polls where some girls have gotten cranky and hormonal and even snippish with her when she states her honest opinion and she always reacts very calmly and collected. She doesn`t take offense and she doesn`t take it personally. I don`t think she deletes many comments...she`s very fair.

I didn`t know there were so many mods, either! For the longest time I thought it was just Laura Ward. Then, I saw RobinG mention being a mod so I figured it was just those two. Hmm, good to know, though!

I had no idea there were so many people who deleted comments. Im quite sure mine have gotten deleted, though its rare for me to go back to a poll lol I got kicked off this site before for being, against policy or whatever. Which is lame since you can get back on. Now I just try not to argue with anyone which is easier bc I dont really look at responses to my comments lol

RobinG (989.6 days ago)
I am not the only one who deletes comments, all mods do. I`ve come on a number of times and seen polls and comments deleted that had nothing to do with me. I only delete comments that are against site policy, comments based on a differnce of opinion if they ARE within site guidelines are not deleted ever by me. There is a slew of mods on this site, not just me. Dont assume it was me when you see polls and posts deleted however I did delete those posts. There was a bunch of posts that were referring to another poll and what was written was hurtful and against site policy. One of which include profanity. The lol post was in response to the arguing going on and was therefor deleted. Leaving it up after the arguing posts was removed made no sense since the poll was about spanking and the `lol` post was referring to the arguing post already removed.

Any moderator can delete comments, polls and pictures for violating the rules. I am a moderator and can delete. I RARELY do. It has to REALLY step over the line. I`m not the thought police. Although my finger does hover over the delete button, I usually just move on. I can`t believe some one deleted that comment. That is pretty rediculous.

I made a comment that said `LOL beeeer` and thats it and it got deleted!

As in the people in charge of deleting comments? That would be Laura Ward and RobinG.

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
