Unfair moderation or here we go (again) - on TFS !

Hi ya readers !

I know youre surprised to see an update or the next post so soon lol. Well, I post as soon as I have smth to say on the theme /as soon as smth happens that makes me post, and no I dont do it on purpose cause my inner peace is very important for me too, believe me, I also wish I just could live and that others let me live too. But oh well.

Im sure if youre into fashion and models, you probably heard or even check one of the 'biggest' and 'well-known' fashion forums - thefashionspot ( tFS). What? You never heard of it as of yet? Good for you lol.

Anyways, I just have to make this post because this is getting ridiculous as far as 'moderating work' there.

You know after a long time I was able to get an invitation ( because its an invite only forum, and yes theres a pay-for option too (youll get more attachment space and etc.) as well, oh, and there are ads there as well, sometimes even pretty annoying ones if you dont block them). So, ever since I joined it Ive been an active quality member who not only posted 'thanks' or 'oh!' but I posted tons of my own high quality scans, my own cool screencaps and many other finds , pictures, videos, links, information. And still getting many karma points ( a kind of 'thank you' from members, you get so-called 'karma points' you can see in your profile) for my 'work' there.

But you know, one drop in the sea and youre like, okay, may be it happenes, moving on, closing eyes on that....But when there are quite a bunch of those youre like: what ? *shrugs* Moreso, if this is like this : they send you reminders on , say, for example, not to do this thing BUT at the same time you see on the left and on the right so many members do it and...are not 'being moderated' at all, voila ! Therefore Id like to stop at that in more details cause it starts to get on my nervers ( and its not so easy, believe me , I DO try to stay calm and peaceful until the ned where its just way too much of a bullshit.) already.

***So today I posted in 'Hilary Rhoda' thread this : 'Thank you for those !' ( that is: pictures). This post of mine was deleted and I got a reminder:



I decided to write back and send just a few of many examples where members post even less then that and that is few times in a row and - surprise, surprise!- their posts are NOT being deleted:



These are just the first few examples I came across - there are literally TONS more but hmmm I wonder why oh why THEY are not beind deleted , oopss, that is 'moderated'. Weird huh ?

Oh and as for the 'powerposting'...I already got one reminder on 'powerposting' a long time ago and I wrote back and they were kind enough to reply (back then) :


(I quoted a few members' posts in MM thread and replied to each of them and all my replies were deleted and thats 'powerposting' - rrrright, and that 'powerposting' I see happen in other threads too, for example in 'Is.F.' thread but nah, nothing is deleted there, weird huh)

But can YOU, people, may be tell me, why if I post an OCCASIONAL (meaning, I dont post just 'thanks' like others do, I provide tons of content most of my time there) 'thank you for these' gets deleted whereas constant 'thank you' posted by Other members are NOT being deleted at all ???? Can YOU tell me may be ??? Cause Id REALLY like to know. Not for any purpose, but just curious why its being 'moderated' in such a 'I have two truths, one for me and one for other' kind of way eh ? So some are allowed to 'powerpost' and some not. How interesting !!! AND I, oh naive me, thought that RULES are made equally FOR ALL ! Geeez...

And guess what, this time after I wanted to send them those above links with just 'thanks' examples, whoopss...they turned this option off already lol...


*** Now, as I had my first forum about VS Angels (Victorias secret angels, thats right!) and since I saw members having direct clickable links in their signatures to their own forums too on tFS, I put mine into my signature as well but a day later I had to remove it because I got this message:


So I did so of course.

But as always, what do we see...surprise, surprise!- there are STILL members who actually have direct links to their forums too in the signatures ! How about these two for example:





Again, 'some' oviously for whatsoever reason are 'allowed' to do so and 'some' for whatsoever reason are 'not allowed' to do so ! What a double-standard policy ! Im disappointed in you, tFS.

I would understand if there WERE reasons but just so , this always makes me throw up.... The double-standard thing that is. Moreso, if its 'forum rules for ALL'. Oh come on, really for ALL ?? I can see now how its 'for all' there.

And yes, I even reported one member because each time I saw his name with his forum link, it was like a red fabrics in front of the bull eyes, really unpleasant, so I reported it and mentioned, isnt it against rules to have forum links in siggies ? OF COURSE, NOTHING was done and he still has it ! Voila.

Oh, so may be its like that... a link to a fashion and models forum that is about VS models is NOT allowed but if its about a 'high fashion' model or 'high fashion' photographer, then its allowed ? Although in my forum we discuss 'high fashion models' too...hmmmm ANYONE here can give me an answer? lol Cause I dont get it there. And if theres no answer...well, you know, it only shows that Im right since they dont care to explain such things at all and prefer to just 'moderate' this member instead of 'moderating' all others as well. *rolls eyes*

***And btw, I cant invite anymore. Each member of tFS has a right to invite others to the forum so I invited 3 people. One because she wanted to be there so bad, so I did it for her, altho I dont 'know her or anything' she seemed to be a good poster on a different forum. Another one I invited is a 'friend' of mine from a different forum too so I hoped he would support our fave models threads there ( sadly he didnt, I could have spared that invite...) and third time I invited another person who also asked for invite in order 'to support her all time fave model there' so I helped her with that ( but she posted once or twice and thats that). Anyways, not a too long time ago I mentioned ( with a help of someone, who also noticed that herself first in her profile) that I cant find the invite link in my profile, it was just -poooofff !- gone. Weird huh. I know lol. So, I asked on a support subforum on tFS what could possibly have lead to that and was given a reply :



Hm, lets see :

- I didnt get any 'warnings', I only got a few 'reminders' so far (which is not the same thing as I was said or as it says in rules)

- I didnt follow all my invited persons history on tFS so I have no idea, may be THEY did smth horrible lol that led to that, I dont know. Can only say that with 2 of them, Im sure 90% that they never did anything 'against the rules' since they hardly even posted at all ! But oh well, may be its the first one I invited...I didnt see her post for a long while too.

So, I decided to ask a moderator there - I think I at least deserve to know WHY they taken invite rights from me. It cant be 'just so' or ' just because' or...can it ? Looking at the way some moderators 'moderate'there....everything can happen lol. But aint is ABSURD if its true ? Oh well, Im still waiting for reply, for a few days now. So hopefully they will tell me why, straight black on white, Id REALLY love to know ! And Im very thankful to a moderator who agreed to research on that and give me reply (thank you for that).

And you know, its 'amazing' how its 'allowed' there for many members to say literally 'bullshit' and totally 'absurdness' about fashion ( okay, they cant prohibit if anyones willing to show their dumb*** lol I understand..but still) or when so many members can post such really harsh words and post very inflaming and negative comments about models and sometimes even members...Brrr...I even had to find out a way to put some of such members onto my 'ignore list' cause you know, I come there to contribute good stuffs and to enjoy my fave models and check fashion news and not to read absurdness of certain members (who 'think they know it all about fashion and models' but in reality...sooooo far from it oh geeez...).

With that Im gonna end this post ( I have more to say while Im at it but Ill do it in a different post) otherwise itll get too long so ill spare you of that lol.

Thanks for reading!

xx.

ps. And yes, on MY forum harsh words or bashing is not allowed. Yep, Id rather have a 'kindergarten' if you will but with a nice friendly atmosphere to post in ( doesnt mean I cant say NO, if I dont like this model, we discuss it all , BUT in a respectful manner, thats the difference. Our members are nice and can actually act mature in most cases.) And believe it or not but our Forum Rules are made FOR ALL, even for admins and moderators too and for EVERY/ANY other member. As they say, business first, friendship second :)And although I do have 'friends' or members I like it doesnt meant that if they do anything against rules they wont be warned, they will and they are.Cause being fair is not just a word for me.
