Not to keep rehashing things, but I found this funny. So now, dump Tara posted in TTGP stating that posts asking if you're pregnant only break guidelines, not TOU, and do not merit warnings...
... even though the TOU says to follow the guidelines.
She's just tired of having to deal with all the reports that are coming in on newbs who aren't following the TOUs.
Good, I hope she's tired of it. It'll give her a taste of what mods and the community had to put up with before and why it pissed us off.
So this was my Sunday morning at TD. Do not expect that they will bother to even figure out what "Hitchens's razor" states:
bumpadmin · you've been warned.
BumpAdminBumpAdmin February 6 Dear Jennyh81, This is your first warning, regarding the following post: This post is a perfect example of how this place has gone to hell in a handbasket. What the heck is going on here? The bump gods have deleted so many posts that it's just nonsense. Remember back when all the banned regs were here and a discussion had facts and info and people learned things? Now it's just a bunch of "Am I pregnant" posts, usually with DDs, and half the posts removed bc someone asked a question that violates the TOU and then got butthurt when people call them out on it.*Heads back to the glorious dark side* You are being warned for a violation of the TOU, which states: If you post something to the Site, such as comments or other content, do not post anything that:is defamatory (i.e., something that is negative and untrue about another person or entity),is fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, harassing, abusive or discriminatory. Please review the TOU and our guidelines to avoid further violations. Multiple warnings may result in a banning of your account. We respectfully ask that you refrain from this type of behavior.
JennyH81JennyH81 11:24AM Perhaps my law degree is deficient, but I don't see how a single word in that post violates the TOU. You did delete so many posts that the thread became utterly incomprehensible. Another fact - this board is primarily "Am I pregnant" posts despite this apparently being against the guidelines. I certainly know none of my statements were unlawful, threatening, defamatory (which, really, negative but true things are impermissible now? In that case, I guess since people get upset when we tell them they aren't pregnant then that's negative and banworthy? Just clarifying), harassing, abusive, or discriminatory. So please, explain to me in actual words rather than just quoting me and quoting your TOU how this specific post violates the TOU. Otherwise, this is a bit of a Hitchens's razor. I respectfully request you not engage in such intellectual dishonesty with your users.
They sent me an e-mail 5 days ago saying to allow 48 hours for deletion. My banned ass (nachobelley) was still there as of yesterday. I sent them another e-mail stating they haven't done what they said they would. They're never going to do it.
Looks like mine was deleted. Titles show up in Google, but they all lead to "discussion not found" so yay?
Started an AE- but not sure what I will do with it. On 3 day training wheels now- maybebaby16. Trying to decide if I'm hoping for a baby in 2016, or if I AM 16. Meh. I'll figure it out next time I get bored and visit TD.
They sent me an e-mail again saying they're sorry for the delay and they're sad to see me go. (Uhhh, no you're not, I'm banned idiots!) And I have to wait 48 hours again. It's bullshit, because I KNOW they can do it well within 48 hours.
I can still find posts I was mentioned in on Google but it appears all of my replies are gone.
They had reset my account so many times so I didn't have any posts anyway. lol
Lol. Honestly, I'm surprised they even acknowledged my request after hearing all the hoops everyone else had to jump through. Their e-mail told me they were "sorry to see me go". I gigglesnorted.

Since I wasn't active on TB, I don't really have a stake in this. I started ttc again right as this was going down (and know a few of the blocked admins and other posters from another venue), so this place popping up was awesome for me. But I wonder idly if the hit from the deletions isn't going to screw them up even more. I'm not sure how SEO works, but if you're googling something ttc or pregnancy related, a high number of the threads pulled from TB are completely unreadable because they have so many deletions. Just like I'd never click on certain sites for answers to random questions because I know it's misinformation and crap, I'm wondering if TB will be right there too soon.

All the deletions are absolutely going to fuck with their SEO.

that's entirely the point. That's why I had my account deleted... Less hits for them. Serves them right.
They banned me! I hadn't even had any warnings in a week or more. Went there this morning and I can login to my account, but I can't post or love tit and my avatar has the "User Banned" image on it.
No email to let me know why, nothing.
Oh well. I had all my good content deleted a while ago.
My periods are irregular, but it happened to come on January 11. It went off January 17, and I had sex on January 22. We had sex the night of January 25, on January 26, again on January 28 and the 29. I woke up the morning of January 30 feeling nauseous with cramps, and I had dark brown discharge in my underwear. Then I bled bright red and spotted until February 5 . Is this "implantation bleeding"? Did my period come early? Should I take a pregnancy test ? Please help ! *a family member of mine cannot conceive and wants to adopt*
I replied- Why the hell do we need to know this?! *A family member of mine cannot conceive and wants to adopt*

I got a warning for that one. Fucking idiots.
Holy shit. There's so much stupid in one 4-and-a-bit lined post. Did she really have to name ALL THE DAYS she had the secks?

With the privacy warning I asked for a deletion and got this in return:
We are aware of the issue that some users' names were appearing in place of their usernames and greatly apologize for this inconvenience. We have discovered a technical issue made sure to resolve it quickly.
We fully understand your concerns related to this situation. Please be assured that your privacy and safety are our top priorities.
We would really like for you to stay in The Bump Community, but will definitely honor your request if you still wish to leave.
I seriously just got a 2nd warning for the "stroking" post reply, in which I said:
"This post is inhibiting my enjoyment of the site because I had to read about stroking. WTH."
10 yrs on that fucking site, zero warnings and zero abuse points--and THIS is what they're calling me out on?!
I'm curious as to what the "stroking" post was about.
Basically some chick described her "pull & pray" method and something to the effect of "could I be PG if he just put it in, stroked it a few times" etc. It was really out there, weird weird shit. Recently I was warned that I was inhibiting others from enjoying the site, which is why I replied with those exact words.

Wow that place has really gone to shit or is full of trolls. Either way I'm staying far the fuck away.
I'm probably taking the fact that I got banned way too seriously. But it pisses me off. Partly because it's unfair, and partly because I wanted to go out in flames of glory and they stole that from me.
Also, they never emailed me to tell me why and I have no ability to send PMs.

I told them to still delete me
Who did you email to actually get a reply? I've been trying to contact them about warnings and such but no reply.
