SBFII: What they REALLY think of members!

As you will know from my last thread concerning the ‘red scarf forum’ (now known as SBFII), the mods/admin have private threads for their eyes only to discuss things they don’t want the members to know about. One such private thread is the ‘Staff Chat’ thread, where they basically moan about members of the forum, call them names, and endlessly pick apart postings from members looking for any signs of ‘disrespect’ or anything they don’t like. I know they don’t like me, but it also appears they don’t actually like many other people either, except ‘Canadian Bill’ who they seem to think is some kind of god! I now have a copy of this thread and it makes interesting reading, or at least some of it because much of it is the ‘staff’ acting like 3-year-old spoilt brats. What came across from the thread was the fact that the ‘staff’ are basically controlling, paranoid, and arrogant loonies desperate for access to Susan. It’s also quite an eye opener how they talk about members, even those who are supposed to be liked! Here I present genuine extracts from the thread. Some names have been removed for legal reasons. I have added comments beneath each quote.
Note that none of this material was obtained through any illegal act.

“I have just given pardonmeboy a bit of a slapdown -so expect a complaint from her - silly cow - her attitude is patronising and condescending - she annoys the hell out of me. She ought to go and work for the tabs with her attitude - in fact are we sure she isn't a journo in disguise?”

My comment: And pardonmeboy is supposed to be one of the ‘in crowd’!

Admin P:

“I'm inclined to let it stand myself - we have been accused of over moderating and being over sanitised in our approach on many issues. We need to allow folk to have an opinion - even if we don't necessarily like it. We would be deleting half the posts on the forum other wise”

My comment: So they admit they don’t actually like much of what is said on the forum!

Moderator (no longer ‘staff’):

“Yes I agree we need to allow folks to have an opinion as long as those opinions don't violate Rule 1 and I don't know this as an absolute, but I would suggest for her to say Susan is unpredictable could be considered the same as saying she's unreliable and to my way of thinking sounds like disrespect, but perhaps as you say it can be taken in a different way taking into account the measure of disrespect that is shown and in this case perhaps borderline.”

My comment: This is how they twist things in their minds. ‘Unpredictable’ becomes ‘unreliable’ which becomes ‘disrespect’? Huh? What are these people on?!

“Well, Lisa got much attention for a while, and I was a bit disappointed that she came across so (I don't know if that is the right word) feeble minded. (OK, tell me I'm out of line, but that was how I felt.) Thinking that Susan didn't sing the song is just too stupid.”

My comment: They really don’t like this poor woman at all do they?!

“[Member] has been PM'ing me regarding the banned member issue - I have managed to placate him on most points and said Paul was looking into the technical glitch thing.

I basically said I would find out and get back to him. So do we have an answer that is going to stand up? Did any one ask for it to be closed? Did we close it because we don't like it? (if the latter - its not a good enough reason really if we are being honest) or did we have some other reason?”

My comment: Oh dear, they’re making stuff up again aren’t they?! ‘Do we have an answer that is going to stand up?’

“Personally I thought [member] was mad as a box of frogs and bordering on the stalkerish type.”

My comment: This member had been to see Susan and thought she didn’t look well. Admin P didn’t seem to like that and so called her a ‘stalker’. Given Admin P seems to always be at Susan’s house, I think I know who’s really the stalker!

Admin P:

“I am getting a both fed up with Xeno, Citroen Lady and Teri in the housewarming thread. They are being real killjoys. … After consulting with my fellow mods that darn thread was temporarily closed. They were being complete idiots.”

Admin (no longer ‘staff’):

“I'm trying my hardest to ignore all of Clix Pix's posts, but sometimes I read them dispite my intentions! That person is a wet noodle, being so negative on all the threads. ….. Clix Pix being an a-hole and trying to provoke [Member].”

“That new thread started by L** is a ticking time bomb - so far not many takers, but DJG is egging it on. I think they're trying to pick a fight - just my opinion….. DJG likes to make a war out of everything. … Personally, I think L** began that thread with the intention of starting trouble and DJG egged her on. I think the two of them thought it up and executed it, and after a slow start it began to accomplish what they were after. When it became really inflammatory, several of us mods warned them, deleted some posts, then some of the members turned it around. When it became bland and was no longer working for them, L** asked that it be closed”

My comment: Paranoid are we babe?! It’s not true, BTW!

My goodness, such fascinating reading here! Heh, I'm not surprised to see my name in there. I recall a particular discussion about photography which was going along quite nicely until someone -- yes, a mod -- all of a sudden really blasted me, let loose on me without any provocation whatsoever. I remember staring at my computer screen in disbelief and wondering what on earth was the matter with her. To this day I still have no idea of what provoked her, but obviously she was unhappy enough about it to have commented on it to her fellow mods..... Interesting, that! I hadn't made any claims of being a professional photographer, as I'm not, I'm just an enthusiastic amateur. I had talked about my enjoyment of photography, had shared some of my work (which I believe I later removed) and mentioned some of the lenses which I used to get particular shots. That is standard procedure on most photography sites and I think even those who aren't into photography like to know a little about how someone took a photo. Everyone had been enjoying the discussion until she came along. At the time I thought, "someone made a big mistake appointing this woman a moderator -- she cannot control herself." I am not surprised to know that she is no longer a moderator; she never should have been appointed to that position in the first place.

As for the other comments regarding me, I am sure that they're referring to various discussions in which I vainly tried to get them to recognize that copyright was being violated. As we have seen, they could care less about copyright.

None of those people should be in the positions of responsibility which they are currently holding. None of them.....

Just to show how paranoid they are, we weren't even friends there I personally thought you were too grumpy for my liking there, I opened the thread to have fun with stereoptypes, but after the attacks of the lapdogs and the many cuts by mods, it didn't make any sense, so I asked them to close it. That's all. Nothing like susan-boyle.com for making a big drama of nothing.
oh well nothing new there is it! Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus!

L@@ is for Luz, and the thread in question it is in the jokes corner, it was about stereotypes mostly tourists, don't know why they got it so negatively, perhaps because they thought that DJG and I were together in it, nothing more far from reality, Baberino and I weren't keen on eachother at that time, so they made us come together in their war against humour. If you see we were most of the time in the humour section but in differents threads.

“Ammo is truly being a PITA about Irish Central's columns. I have no idea what she is so pertubed about …. If Niall is indeed on here, he will probably change his mind about joining us after that BS she's spouting.”

Admin (no longer ‘staff’):

“I have no idea what Ammo is on about either. I wish she would just keep her silly opinions to herself.”

Moderator L:

“Sometimes Ammo's like a bomb hoping for someone to light the fuse.”

Admin P:

“Bloody Ammo - sent me 2 PMs = one of them asking me if English was my 1st language ME????? I am mortified - she is pissed off about the QVC thread and no one understanding her posts and her being "invisible" - if only she was - she got a very tersely worded reply. The woman is mad as a box of frogs!”

“Got a very nice PM from ammo who now thinks I am a "lady" - first person to laugh gets a warning no matter who they are mod or no mod. Going to get the vodka - this place is surely driving me to drink”

You couldn't make it up if you tried!!!

Well, that really shows true colors by a Admin who claims to be so perfect.
.. "pissed off...
the woman is mad as a box of frogs...... "

Me thinks this Admin should take a good look at theirself...

Isn't this disgusting? These are the actual words of these people, obviously written behind the scenes, written to each other and mocking the members to whom they were being nice in public. What is sickening is that there are still members on EW/SBFII who have no clue as to what goes on behind their backs, and that undoubtedly most of them are also mocked in the very same way, referred to as a "PITA" or an "A-hole" or some such, or casually being dismissed as being "mad as a box of frogs!" (That's a most intriguing image, isn't it? Picture that in your mind....)

These people have absolutely no respect for any of their members. None whatsoever......

And they dare criticize what we write on this Forum.

Exactly.

Thank you so much Betty. This posting gave me a good laugh!! However, it required this response---

Excellent point.

I wasn't a member here when all this stuff was going on with you guys and gals. Initially I joined OS and eventually meandered over to EW in Oct of 09. I was never active there as far as posting and mostly just read the news about SB. I had no clue about the turmoil until the July bust up.

Currently I have been reading a pretty fair mystery but that is going to have to wait now.......this is the most fascinating SH*T I've ever been privy to...no pun intended.

Oh, yeah, this stuff is better than any fiction writer could have dreamed up! Compelling stuff -- and it's all true!

And we're right here watching it unfold, blog by blog, word by word, ooooh who would want to read a good mystery rather than this!!! Good decision there Haak!!!

It beats watching reality TV.

I think a TV special should be made of this. It would get RAVING reviews.

YES YES!!! With Piers doing the narrating!!

Hi all. Long time since I was here. I've been busy writing at The Spoof. Interesting, EW's thoughts about me.

I'm a member over there again . Have been for a while.

I'm planning to write a sitcom and, my dog, do I have a lot of interesting characters in the wings....

Maybe this thread should be put up again for another go-round. Ya think??--------

Well, I am the one they are saying is mad as a box of frogs and the stalkerish type. I have a copy of a post she wrote in the mods room saying the same thing. Except that Susan invites me over every time she sees me. I don't HAVE TO stalk her!

I remember "mad as a box of frogs" was one of PT's favorite insults. She used it a lot against members, ---obviously, as the staff meetings recorded above will show. Very little respect shown to members of their forum.

A long time ago, Ammo, I asked someone from one of the other sites, who would have reason to know, if she knew who my favorite writer at The Spoof really was. And it was you. You have a real talent. Hope you get that sitcom up and running.

deleted by author- old post i was replying to.

Ammo, or Lady G as she was known at The Spoof, has long since been banned from there.

Actually, The Spoof has become almost as repressive and disgusting as EW. All the really talented and creative writers have been banned and almost no one ever says anything interesting on the forum these days.

I don't think the person who owns the site even cares any more. I know I certainly don't.

_____________________________________________________________

I haven't been to Spoofs in ages. I didn't know they were still running!

Ammo hasn't been here in a long time, either. I think she does hang out on Facebook, though.

Yes, this IS an old thread!
