Well, youd think after those forum admins/mods read my blog they would change it for the best then or try to prove me wrong lol but nah, not even that but s*** keeps on pouring ( sorry for the harsh words, guys, but I really dont know how to put it mildly at the moment). Thus, giving me more 'material' to blog - well as long as they 'supply' us so 'nicely' lol, you can come and check for updates. No sugar coating here whjatsoever, no imaginary, its all right onto the point and as harsh as the reality sometimes is. Im here to show you the 'OTHER' side of some big and not so big fashion forums or even ... some famous models' fans... Im not a judge, nor a teacher, all I do is give you information, good information and what you do with it - its up to you I guess.
Anyways, for the 'followers' :) Ive got some updates.
The situation with the TFS and invitations ( see previous posts please) was cleared up ( and I thank a moderator who took her time to reasearch and explain it to me - I do appreciate that a lot, thank you for your reply !) and so...they took my invitation privileges away because...well, because I had a link to my blog in my signature there on tfs forum and clearly said a members name who ' likes to ban people from bz for nothing' ( literally it was like this : PinkCouture bans members on bz for nothing + my blog link where I explained more), so thats why they decided to take away my inviting permissions :
Not that I was going to invite anyone else on there but I thought it was actually nice of that exact moderator to take time and reply to me so once again, thank you for that.
Now, at first sight all seems 'fine' again, and the peace is in the city again...Until today, when I noticed how my posts count number dropped down - yesterday I had 3 890 posts on TFS forum and today when I logged in to post, it was 3718. So, thats 172 posts that... what, lost ? Really weird. Okay, Im going straight to the 'members support' subforum, after checking things out I found that:
Some people were wondering that too and had noticed posts counts drop ( not that many though). There are subforums there where posts do not count since they are not really fashion-related but I dont post there anyway, 99% of my posts are in fashion and models threads, so its not 'my case' then.
Okay, if not this then what ??? Staff is 'cleaning old threads' and just deleted 172 posts of mine all because of 'empty posts ... comments that don't add content' ???? 172 ???? Are you serious ???? Cause thats shocking and not true at all. Gosh I mean, some people are already 'scared' to say 'thanks' there sometimes since it gets deleted too ( not always and not of all members, but deliberately). And I posted even more back in the time and most stuff were my scans ( alone VS scans...I dont even count, so many I scanned and posted), other mag scans, my video caps, in a word- definitely not 'empty useless posts'.
So yeah. Unpleasnt and shocking ? A bit - yes. Much? Not really - especially now that I ( and you) know how it REALLY is there so why wondering much? Im not the only member who noticed a very UNFAIR treatment on the fashion spot forums. Its what people see, and often theres an impression that mods like HF models so their fans can do whatever they want, post just 'thank you', power post, not credit picture sources properly, etc. And if you dare like a 'commercial' model, then get ready to hear tons of unpleasant things there about her and have your posts deleted and more. It just leaves a very unpleasant feeling, this kind of the way things are there... Sad :(
So, they 'punished' me and took my invite privileges away but since I dont really care that I cant invite anyone anymore now this one, 172 posts just disappeared ???? lol I dont claim anything, guys, I just wana know why ???? WHY? Why Fontana fans are allowed to post one word posts like ' aww' or even just a smile -post-only whereas other members get their valuable posts deleted ???? Why ? Why such 'deliberate biased moderation' ????
Well, thats the 'thank you' good members get for contributing so much there. But you know, its even good to experience this too, so that I can create a totally different atmosphere on my own forum and not repeat this kind of forum management. And actually have forum FOR members. Not for admins or mods to show off their powers.
Waahhhhhhhh...

Just a quick comment to clear something up. I too noticed my post count drop - mine went from 1,010 to 680 or so. When I looked into it (400 posts is a lot to lose) I found the cause, and it's nothing nefarious or to worry about. It's simply the VSFS 2008 thread being moved to the Sidewalk Cafe. Posts in the Sidewalk Cafe don't count towards your total, so even though nothing was deleted, the posts are taken off your total. That's what happened to me, and it's fine, I understand that old and closed threads will be archived. :) Hope that explains it for you - I remember seeing you in that thread plenty of times...maybe ~170 posts worth? :P
