Something everyone should know!

Evening/morning all, for long ive been quiet on the forum.. And now, well... time to break the habbit. This dicussion thread is not gonna be nice in direction to the people refered to. This whole thread is simply about what have happened to this place in general and my honest opinion of some people. I remember this place for quite some time ago, the glorious days.. People helped and supported each others with the best intention.. All that has changed, this place used to be a secure, friendly, happy place.. But is nothing similar to it. People have experienced harrashment, fakers, drama queens, impulsive liers, etc.. The list goes on, these kind of people have increased frequently, but has gone quite haywire for the last ½ year.. I hate to see this place going into a unsecure place where you cannot trust anyone, and when finnaly opening up to somehow you get faked.. this kind of people are the ones, making the sites members trust less and less by each day. Logging onto the chat nowadays, what do you see? Do you see a trusted place with friendly people that are allways there to care and talk to you? No, you can sometimes be lucky to go there with a few honest people.. and then suddenly a person logs in, either plays the drama queen or the compulsive lying type trying to get attention by everyone. How do you spot this you say? Well, think about a random chat day, you talk to a person that either sounds to good to be true, or a person that when speaking to him/her she suddenly has the exact same symptons and illnesses as yourself. Are these the worst kind of people? Or should we mention the kind of people that logs into the chat, starts to get everyones attention, by either being angry if not spoken to, or by telling about which kinda new fake day she has had, that just get worse if people start to show interested and show some kinda sympaty.. These kind of people will go so far to mention themself as having cancer if they just have a standard cold that day, just for the attention seeking of it... But if people dont show any interested they just leave the place.. My list can go on.. I can still remember the episode we had over ½ year ago with a person that ran fake profiles and harrashed or tricked lots of people.. It was dreadfull.. What do this do towards the people that are the victims in this? Well they leave, they stay of the chat or simply dont come to the site anymore, because most people want some trustworthy people that they can talk to... But if they are getting tricked in the worst kind of way, they simply dont come back.. A great many people ive seen, talked to, cared for. Simply left this place, and what for? Because of the darn fakers, compulsive liers, idiots, drama queens! You know who you are, I dont have to mention any names here as I really do hope you pull yourself together, try to care for others for once... I and many others are sick of you and sick of the situation you put us in, what kinda people are you? I could find so many swearing words, espeicaly on danish.. But swearing does not promote the cause of what im saying here, im quite it comes automatic. I hope that the admins on this site, do not delete this entry as people should know of the current condition. I will soon run a zero tollerance towards these kind of people on the chat and get help on forum, that act in these stupid ways. Something has to be done. Thank you for your time! -Expoiser

Expoiser I agree with you 100% I myself had left the site for nearly a year because of a person "Faking" certain things. I have seen many people leave the site as well. What an awful thing some few people running many away. I have stopped going to the chat as often as I find it hard to trust or believe anyone. I do hope the admin leaves this on here as well, you make a good point and it should be known!! Thank you for posting this! ~*Samantha*~

EXPOSIER - COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER THAN YOU HAVE... KUDOS to you my friend. I was driven from this site in the past because of the people you describe. I decided I will not be driven awya again...in fact, instead of allowing these certain people to continue taking over the site and causing havvock and pain, that I will stand up for those who need standing up for and be a friend and offer support to anyone who needs it, and continue suppressing those who feel it necessary to make others feel even worse then they already do when they come on looking for support. Again, KUDOS to a well written post my friend. You have my support and I agree with every word you wrote. I couldnt have stated it any better. HUGS to you! -Diane

I'm behind you all the way! I have been here for a while now, quietly, watching things change, and not in a good way. I would like to see things back up to where it felt safe to "let it all hang out" and know that caring people were here. Lately it has become something else, a place where I think twice about going to chat, writing how I'm feeling that day.....and I miss my friends in chat, but you know, I'm not seeing them there much anymore when I do go on....it's a sad thing that a few people have made such a negative impact on what I felt was such a good place to be and want to see it be again.
