But if Marg and others know who this person is and she’s the main and only moderator here, surely she had the power to ban someone such as this and if not, why not?
And if she doesn’t have authority to ban anyone, then who is actually looking after the site?

Does Matrix actually know what’s going on at this site of his? Is he the only one with banning powers?
 

Wow...I am stunned, too.
I had not seen any of the thread that got deleted,
and I hadn't realized what this one was about, either.....so I hadn't read much of this one, till now....

and I've been just posting my usual stuff.:rolleyes:
I hadn't gotten the PM, either.
What a mess.

Aunt Marg, you are not allowed to leave, this forum needs you, and I know you are definitely not Australian. :) :)

She is definitely NOT Australian.
I know that for an absolute fact.

What I don’t understand is why any member who is dedicated enough to put the work into managing an entire forum wouldn’t also get the ‘tools’ to do so, like the ‘power’ to ban someone?

What a horrible position to be in?
And if she doesn’t have the power that goes with the role, or at least ‘should’ why is she not getting back up by someone who has the power?

Who the heck is running our site right now?
Matrix is rarely here?
 
The Aussie forum I'm on banned PMs, and I can see the sense in it, people were ganging up on others, I don't like knowing that a crowd of people are saying nasty things about me behind my back, spit it out in a post for all to see, you coward.

Keesha, I'm pretty sure it was Matrix who removed the offending thread and banned the poster. But, a far as I know, he didn't go public with whatever other actions he took.

It is not great when nasty comments are posted publicly, but at least one knows where they stand. Still, I have wonderful convos via pm too.
 
I"m at sorts of being clued out as what has happened.
I'm not searching for what happened.
But.
I am truly sorry that some of the members here, had to experience, rudeness, harassment, ridicule and a lot of hurt.
The type of person that seems to think acting in this manner is amusing, funny, and acceptable.......WELL IT'S NOT !!!!!!!!!
These kind of people should not have a place in this world.
When some thought , conducting themselves, in this fashion, should get a wake up call, and face what they put others through.
They arrive and exit like a ghost.......
I do hope that anyone that's been affected by this trauma, take's a bit of a breather, and possibly changes their mind of leaving.I don't want anyone to leave.
I feel that with everyone here, that's what makes this forum a nice place to be.
The ones that think they'll can shake the happiness out of this forum and members.......are wrong......we are the strong ones......we will stick with each other and support each other.
Please, to the ones that are thinking of leaving, wish you wouldn't.
You are important members, along with all the members.
All of you are what makes this forum a happy place to be.
And i think the ones in charge of SF are doing a great job, and to know that all can be there when help is needed.

Please let's go back to ENJOYING SF.

Just before she left, she had some vile remarks to make and bid us all farewell. Turned right around and bingo, came back with another nom de plume and the attack was worse. However, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who it was, as the style of the delivery was precisely the same.

OK, not a rocket scientist here...I have no clue
 
I'm another one who missed the whole thing, being in a different time zone. It would be a pity if this person succeeds in chasing members away, but OTOH, I understand how hurtful it can be to feel like you are constantly under attack. Sometimes hanging in there just isn't worth the stress.

I hope you do hang around though. :) I think there are more people on your side than not.
 
Always be aware of anyone who attacks, denigrates or tries to "put down" the person posting rather than addressing the "meat" of their post and don't be afraid to point out what's happening by posting such in the thread. Doing this can, to some extent, help police the site without having to hit the report button. As for this particular mashup, it looks like Matrix booted what seemed to be a rather poisonous individual.
