i definitely do not have a problem with other sites chat`s being mentioned here. we talk about products all the time here, which car seat is best.. what brand of bottle is best.. whats the difference?

Well said ZOO! And thanks tria! What bugs me more is that they delete comments and polls unnecessarily.

I don`t mind the ones about the chat, or selling anything. I don`t like seeing the ones that are scams, such as work from home..thats just sad to me because it gets peoples hopes up.

wow its just a chat...

Agreed, it`s not advertising. It`s free, and quite nice to be able to interact instantaneously with other members. If you don`t want to chat, ignore it, like you would ignore the posts from mommies who say things you don`t agree with, right?

its not advertising if you`re not selling something - like Stay@Home said - we just put up a free chat page b/c this site feels that mean comments were being made on THEIR chat - i`m not selling anything, just want to live chat w/ people from here. so if you want to chat check out my profile - the link is on there ;)

Wow, if something that small bothers you I`m thinking you have deeper issues!! A nice girl made a FREE webs=chat because this site doesn`t have one. WOW! Ignore it, why post a poll about it, GROW UP! Sorry she was being nice to invite everyone!

military~mommy (755.4 days ago)
Katie~ But those ads fund the operation of this site, advertising other sites on here does the opposite.

alugo (755.4 days ago)
It doesn`t bug me - I enjoy the chat sites because it`s instant interaction. AND I enjoy this site because of my page and the things I get to see when I cannot be on. I`m sorry I just had to give a different perspective because while obviously advertising is against the rules - I personally enjoy viewing these things and view ALL advertising the same - and if it is to be punished then it should all be punished in the same manner. Site promotion to Bow selling. :) JMO ^_^

Thank you ladies, it is nice to know I am not the only one agravated by this behavior!

T3POandR2D2 (755.5 days ago)
Likewise! How disrespectful, too!

shesxchaotic (755.5 days ago)
Same here!

military~mommy (755.5 days ago)
That is exactly how I feel.

RadicalMama (755.5 days ago)
OMG yes, have these people not read the rules?! No advertising! Now I don`t mind if a friend mentions that she is making hair bows or tutus, but mass postings about other pregnancy sites (duh, we are on this one) or live chat sites (the one on here was closed for a reason) just annoys the crap out of me. Blah, rant over.

  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!! :)
