I've been waiting 3.5 hours and not approved yet. What are we missing over there??
It's just slower in general, I think because they never ever had any designs on competing with TN or TB or turning it into a business. We have tagged admins to let them know that people are waiting, please be patient.
I gather that they prefer to have someone manually approve new registrations, to keep out spammers and trolls.
So the two people responsible were de-modded. I was seriously reconsidering posting at APTM because of this BS, so I was glad to see reasonably prompt action. I would have been less pissed if they'd chosen to move some of our months old content, but I hadn't even gotten around to the Tuesday GTKY dammit.

Demodded from here? Or from APTM?
Everyone was demodded here, my understanding is those two were demodded at APTM. I don't go there though.
freezorburn, they were demodded at APTM. Or rather, as I understand it, one voluntarily asked to be demodded entirely, the other is no longer a global mod and can only mod the sub-board they were elected for. If I remember correctly.
PS You have to separately register for the forum and be approved if you haven't already. Your Protalk ID and password won't automatically work. It's a little not intuitive.
Meh, I have no interest in going to APTM. I might be talked into it.
I totally respect that and am all for people going where they feel comfortable. At least I know where to find you all.
McBenny I just wanted to say again that I really appreciate you trying to take care of everyone early on, and working on being inclusive to all the communities here.
I just don't feel comfortable at APTM ... has nothing to do with you. Maybe I'll give it another try someday in the distant future, when I don't need to talk to my therapist every week.

I guess it's a little reassuring that their actions were not condoned by the larger APTM community or their leadership.
Unfortunate that this had to happen at all, though.SaveSave

I completely agree. Also I hope wherever we land permanently that McBenny joins us or pops in from time to time.

Yes. Also to clarify board mods cannot ban people, move threads, etc. So, that one person would not have the same powers that she had to do what she did.
That being said, she was only allowed to board mod due to the sensitive nature of the board she mods and the people who she does it for (I think the mental wellness people but don't quote me).
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.

I just hate everyone being spread out. I mean I get it. I just don't like it. Despite all of us not being close, we have seen each other around so not to see you anymore or in passing makes me sad. I will come look for you though.
