Another fired Mod here. So yes, I saw the writing on the wall, but I did Not Expect to discover I had been "fired" by logging in and finding the entire mod board deleted. It was such a slap in the face.
I guess if I am being honest, some people were shocked because they might have thought that the people last week had some things that justified demodding and banning. Like we say we didn't, but we were very vocal saying we didn't think the new TOU would work and we didn't appreciate the lack of communication. I think maybe people thought they wouldnt do that to the mods who stayed and tried to keep modding. Or weren't vocal during TOU discussions.
So my two cents is that even if mods all saw it coming, members outside of Parenting and maybe TTC sure didn't. I went to my BMB last week. A couple people came here but not really.
But today TB officially de-crowned our beloved mod dc2london and it seems to be the kick in the pants that this isn't an issue of XO picking on a small subset of posters.

El oh el. But all is forgiven! Welcome to the dark side ex-mods!
She's actually super nice. But not a rule breaker
Wash is in my BMB and in our FB group - she modded on the tri boards, so she got a lot of the fuckery. She gave us in our FB group a heads up that something was coming but said she was going to try to stick around as long as possible to see what happened, but figured she'd be out eventually. I'm impressed by her exit.

I was not making a dig at all. My point was that she followed the rules and kept trying to help during the shit storm. So to have her telling the bump to go fuck themselves is evidence of how bad this was.
You got a thank you? I got nothing. No PM, no email, no nothing. Let me tell you, I am fucking IMPRESSED.
Seriously? Fuck that! I got a long ass PM: Dear nunzchucks,

Again, we hope you remain a part of the community and continue to contribute to the boards you love. You are important to us and to all our members. Thank you so much.
I got jack shit. And bumpfuckingmay ignored me every.single.time I paged her. Useless.
Then again, I was always disagreeing with her or questioning her, so that may have had something to do with it.

I called the bumpidiots on it point blank on the mod board that the writing was on the wall that they were going to get rid of us, and they still fed us some bullshit. I HATE being lied to my virtual face.

One of the regs on my BMB posted the link to here in every thread on the first page of our board. In triplicate. And created three more posts just in case. They are still there, and she isn't banned. They are totally on the top of their game over there.
Kind of like how we didn't leave when this happened to SAHM a few months ago.
Or TN years ago.
Until it's you, it's easier and more comfortable to try and weather the storm in a familiar place. It took the actual banning of mods for most of Parenting to be willing to jump ship. Earlier that VERY day, it was a lot of "no, I'm not leaving." Even when our mods were telling us fuckery was afoot.
I think it's easy a week out to be all "well, what did you expect" but really, we were these new defectors up until 5 pm the day we left. GBCN has been saying this about all of us since it happened. SAHM as well.
I know I'm late on this, but the SAHM situation was different. The people that were banned there really did deserve it because they did have violations.
HOWEVER it was another situation of BM not handling things appropriately. Instead of being open with both people involved she really played them against each other. She could have just told them what was going on and it never would have blown up the way it did. Kind of like this.
Actually, I was banned with no violations. My AEs were banned because I was an asshole, but my initial ban came with no warning and no explanation. Sorry if this has been covered.

Today was what most on my bmb needed to completely jump ship. I've been planning my gbcb for a few days but needed computer time to save the posts I wanted to archive.

I guess I'm fuzzy on the details then. I'll admit, it all went down when I first became a mod, so I was still trying to keep my head above water. My apologies scattered!

No apologies needed, just wanted to add to the long long list of shady fuckery at XO!
