Hey......I'd leave, and also leave a few choice 4-letter words behind...........their loss, Pam. And there's lots other groups/people out there. And.....this is why I'd think twice before joining any other group. How much heartbreak can ya take? There's other things to do...... BESIDES........... Never give up!! |

maybe its just me, but it looks like there were a lot of "red flags" that could have indicated trouble down the road. i steer clear of places like these, with lots of rules and posting requirements. sounds like thiese people werent worth it to begin with. just my opinion, though. |

Right on, Jen. Sure sign of paranoia, that, or at least a lot of apprehension. And we've been there, done that, eh? |

Yea there where some warning signs but I suppose I didn't trust myself enough to listen..In thinking back it was alot of little things that seem to add all up now but now is too late..lol..I already got hurt..I remember even thinking that this wasn't going to end well but I thought that was just fear talking..Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between fear and intuition..Could be just me though..The biggest warning I had felt was that the manager reminded of a manager in another group that banned me once a few years back..Maybe they are not that actual person but maybe there was a reason I felt that..Maybe I was warning myself that the same thing could happen if I crossed some unknown line at some point?..I dunno..The only "posting requirements" they had were they expected ppl to post once within a 6 month period of time which never bothered me and I respected as I have a similair rule..What bothered me was they threated having someone removed or banned simply because they broke their version of Msn's rules..There are groups out there that claim Msn doesn't allow you to merely post a graphic..There has to be words along with it as they feel this is cheating to get activity or a higher rating..Iam sure there are groups who have done this and this may have been what Msn was talking about if this is actually in Msn's code of conduct, not sure, but not everyone who posts only a graphic is attempting to "cheat"..I believe Msn would deal with this on a case by case basis and not delete all groups who's members only post a graphic or two on a thread otherwise they would be deleting alot of groups..Stuff like that was what I was referring to..Some other things that just gave me uneasy feeling but I just never put a whole lot of thought into it..Goes to show ya I probably should trust myself more..Anyway it is not a huge deal..I got hurt..I'll get over it..I probably should have known..Iam gonna leave as soon as those tags are picked up..I feel alittle sad bout going though not sure why, maybe just familairity, but I feel it is for the best..Like I said Iam walking away with something so being a member there wasn't a total loss..Thanks for your thoughts..I appreciate it..Take care.. |

Btw because of being asked to step down Iam gonna leave..Took that to make me realize I should walk away cause Iam uncomfortable with being there anymore..I would rather leave on my own instead of being removed down the road for breaking some rule or not meeting some expectation..The group is open so if I wanted to read some info that I might get something from I still could but I can do it without anyone knowing I was around which feels safer to me.. |

When I say "I got hurt..I'll get over it" I don't mean my feelings don't matter or that I don't take how I feel seriously..I mean that Iam not going to make it a big deal and take it personally..It is their loss, I agree!

*Members they expect a post once within 6 months..Management they expect daily..There was another group too that had a crazy expectation that was similiar and I told them to shove it, nicely of course..I had to reply to every single post..Geessshh..Some of these groups just want waaayyy too much.. |
