This is for whoever runs this website..

I'm not trying to be rude but don't you think it would benefit you to allow someone to post something and have it automatically go through instead of someone approving it. The reason being is it cuts out interaction between your user's. The thing that is great about the internet is you get instant feedback. So if something very important has just happened, you can post it and get a quick reply. I believe more people would hang out on your website if that restriction was taken off. Most websites allow you to do that and if something inappropriate is put on, then they just go ahead and remove it or relocate it. But this way you have to wait a day or so to get a reply... Don't you see how that kind of works against you... I'm just giving you a suggestion! I really am not trying to be rude at all.. I just think your site would be more popular if it didn't have that restriction on it. Please don't take this the wrong way.. Just trying to help!!!  With Love, Jason:)

Yup, I get it. And I also feel, that this is the web and not real life.

Ten posts is not that hard to get through.

[Jason C]

who said anything about real life

[mslemon]

I inferred it from this bit:

The thing that is great about the internet is you get instant feedback. So if something very important has just happened, you can post it and get a quick reply.

Instant feedback isn't guaranteed no matter what. You post and hope someone answers. If you want instant gratification, you might have to call  someone.

I'm not here to argue with you!!! I have told a lot of my friends about my OBE's but they never had on.(or so they think) So when I say that if something important has just taken place,.. I would rather share it with people who know what I'm talking about... People who can relate... The other websites I go on, you just post and in a couple of sec's/min u get the feedback your looking for.. It was just a suggestion man! Lighten up!!!!!!!!

[mslemon]

And I politely answered with my reasoning. I sure don't get why you are telling me to lighten up!

Here's the bottom line. It is the way it is, and I'm not inclined to change things anytime soon.

[Jason C]

Ya, but u slipped in a cocky remark at the same time.. " this is the web and not real life." I've only made about 7 posts on this site... I'm well aware of what this is... I'm sorry if I offended you.. I was just making a suggestion that I thought would improve your daily hits.. I just thought you might want more people on your site.. (hanging out chatting) Sorry bud!

LMAO  OK So Ihave been reading this thread and OF COURSE have to put in my 2 cents.

SHE OWNS THE BOARD  She can do whatever she wants hehe

AND

You have 8 posts Just a couple more and you will be set!!  This really is a great board and worth the rules.  It really helps with peeps logging in, posting shite and then never posting again

WELCOME !!!!

Yup I am late on this but... once upon a time not so long ago there was a wonderful forum filled with people who joined to share their experience and all was well in the kingdom. Then one day an evil pack of demented renegade posters decided to lay siege to the beautiful forum of paranormal sharing. These posters laid their vile filth all across the boards in every way they could it was all the fair admin could do to keep up with the pillaging they were doing to her wonderful forum. One day the fair admin with her brilliant mind was frazzled to no end with these marauders so she had no choice but to put place a hold on her marvelous forum so she could keep the peace of her people. Ever since that day the marauders have never returned and the people of her forum rejoice in her glory for her protection keeps them safe. The end..

Moral of the story... blame other idoits for screwing things up... mslemon tries to keep the peace on her forum and does a damn good job!!

It is only 10 post and even though it can be an inconvenience to you right now it will pay off once you are past it.

[all_outta_angst]

this post is even later...but I agree with "the other's" Jason.  Popularity isn't always as important as valuable/ meaningful content.  If anyone can just come in etc then you have to devalue the site by having non serious members post crap not worth reading.  For all it's worth...anything worth being part of takes some work....earn it.

and also welcome to the archive man!

This site runs fine by me, I prefer my feedback to be thought about, pondered on, as they say (Only fools rush in)

[mslemon]

Thanks, Rudy. I did modify things a while ago, and only the first 5 posts are modded. You'd be amazed at the number of spammers we get. It's harder to go clean it all up if I allowed it through than to require first posts to be modded.

[Graveyard Hound]

While I was here, the site rn fine, though I am not that as involved here as I'd like. I think whoever is running things is doing a good job. I've had to do the same sometime ago and it isn't all fun and laughs. Keep up the good work.

[mslemon]

Thanks, Graveyard.


That would be me, Janet, running things here. Occasionally I have some help from the husband.


And you're right, on some days, the spammers hit really hard. They are persistent little buggers.
