Do you get paid to advertise for wedding vendors on here. I find it rather interesting that your wedding has long come and gone, yet you are still on here as the moderator, AND you've made YOUR reviews a sticky so that everyone sees your vendors all the time. What is so different about your reviews that would make them a sticky over every other bride who has contributed? To be honest, this board has been slow and I truly believe it because of you. Now that you are married, can you move on with your life and pass the torch onto someone who can add some life to this board again? Best wishes in your next endeavor(s). I am sure we will se them "advertised" on this site.

There is a board on the knot called Snarky Brides.

And for the record, I do not get paid to advertise my vendors on here. I always make several vendor recommendations based on the positive reviews I've read written by other Knotties and sites like weddingchannel.com

I believe reviews are such an invaluable resource that I sticky my vendor reviews to encourage other knotties to write them but to also post them on the Knot's sister site and other online wedding websites. My term serve here has not expired yet but when it does, I'll let you know who's the new mod! If you do have any personal issues with my conduct on here, please forward your concerns to the knot Annie. I have not violated any of the TOS.

As for the board being slow, well it is the eb and flow of things.I do not direct the traffic here. But perhaps you can suggest something at our next gtg in October? I welcome any constructive feedback. Thanks!

I can vouch for the fact that RoyalOrient has always suggested additional vendors based on all the posts she has read and helped to moderate. I am appalled that someone would throw such hurtful and negative comments around when RoyalOrient is volunteering her time to assist other brides in their planning. If you took the time to read through the threads that RoyalOrient has moderated, you will note that she does in fact support many, many vendor suggestions and has even defended when people cross the line of hurting vendor reputations.

I for one would like to thank RoyalOrient for her time and dedication to these boards. I guess it's true what they say, you can't make everyone happy (but something tells me that someone who takes that much time to write like that is just an unhappy person anyway).

I do see Sara's point though. Why only bookmark HER reviews. I also did see a recent post in which omeone asked about two specific photographer and Royal chimed in to add her own photographer. The question had nothing to do with asking for more opinions. It was strictly A vs B. I like Royal's input. Bust she does cross the line at times.

In Response to Re: Vendor Reviews pt. 1:

Do you agree with Sara because you are Sara on a different username?

You know when I was a knottie on here, a mod on the Boston board bookmarked HER reviews and the mod on the CT board bookmarked HER reviews too. There was no uproar over the mod doing that. I talked to other moderators on their board and this is the first I heard someone having an issue.

But if we are going to be petty about me not adhering to strict rules of answering only the question and not offering my personal opinion than I am guilty. Oh the horror...

In Response to Re: Vendor Reviews pt. 1:

IMHO, a bride doesn't have to leave because her wedding has come and gone, and most of us wouldn't want them to, because we have months-years to go and value their experiences. I'm not a frequent poster(mostly due to my lack of time), but this moderator has already provided me with some useful infomation.

Perhaps the board is "so slow", because people lurk and never post(I myself am guilty, mainly because I'm new and don't have anything helpful to add most times), but see fit to whine about the boards being slow? Geez, who lit the fuse on your tampax?

I just do not understand how Royal can know so much about so many vendor styles and approach to each client. I find it impossible to gauge without really meeting and discovering that particular persons approach, personality and a sampling of a larger body of work. I guess I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE I BECOME A WEDDING PLANNER--OH--I MEAN BRIDE.

@ Saradragon-what is your beef with Royal? Why don't you let it go obviously you are not a bride and perhaps an angry vendor who may not be receiving positive reviews. From your behavior on this board I can see why. I say we vote Sara the Dragon off the "island".

^I think you are right. There were a couple of disgruntled vendors unhappy with some of the negative reviews and remarks posted by fellow brides and one particular vendor was not pleased with me deleting their advertised posts on here. I've even received pm with complaints. Well Knot Anne has been informed of this matter.

Ok. I am sorry, I do not want to get banned. I mean people like Mandela, Walesa and Parks have spoken their mind and gotten into big trouble. I will be quiet and be a good knottie--I promise. Any suggestions on invitations?

Oh and Sara...since you are a bride, you might want to at least try to spell your Fiance's name correctly. Unless there is a new spelling for 'Michael".

It is the Gaelic spelling of his name. His family is very proud of their heritage and named him after a beloved Uncle. Sorry if that bothers you. I will try to see if we can change it at the marriage certificate application process.

There are at least a few ways of spelling a person's name. I should not be surprised with the creative spelling or the foreign imported names. Spelling an otherwise common name differently creates some confusion. But yeah, I am not Irish so this might be a convenient excuse for a vendor pretending to be a bride.

You could be one of the disgruntled vendors unhappy with the less than flattering reviews on here. Maybe you are upset that I didn't recommend your business or service or you are mad that I deleted one of your vendor posts. I don't know. But your tart tone, snappy remarks and wild accusations are uncalled for. The fact that you focus solely on Vendor related threads and nothing else is highly suspicious.

btw comparing yourself to Mandela, Parks and the like is incredibly arrogant. You come off as an attention starved Bridezilla on here. And the best way to deal with a Bridezilla - short of assault and battery is to not give her a forum to complain, whine, and say mean and nasty things.
