You all will be so proud of me!

Well, I actually got a warning on Weddingbee.  And I didn't even have to try.

If you make a comment that you don't care for the way moderators there come on a post and say "this post has run its course" and then they close it to more replies - you are gonna get a warning.  All I said was that I thought we were all adults and that the mods shouldn't close boards.  Woke up this morning to my first warning.

This is from their TOS:  

xiv.  Hostesses and Moderators volunteer their time/efforts and work hard to make Weddingbee a fun, helpful, and supportive community. We welcome discussion about our policies, but opinions and statements about individual moderators, the moderation team as a whole, or moderation decisions should be made to (name deleted) by private message.  We expect moderators, as a group, and as individuals to be treated with the same respect as other board members and the same rules apply regarding personal attacks.

You can't even make a general comment about what the mods do without getting a warning!  I wish it would have been something that I put some effort into.

I never had you pegged for such a cold hearted hag.  Sweet Lord, @kmmssg, you are a mother AND grandmother.  How could YOU, of all people, go around carelessly breaking the horns of unicorns?  I feel as if I don't know who you are anymore..........How will you sleep tonight?

Me too. I got banned just because I was a member of TK.

I also wanna hear about the Knottie Hive Invasion! Bring the newer people up to speed!

Wedingbee disturbs me sometimes, although I like the amount of "show me yours" threads. They're fun to sift through. You inspired me to poke around and there's a 5 page thread bashing this fitness model for her revealing wedding dress. I can confidently say that we all get into some pretty dumb disagreements, but shaming a bride for wearing a revealing dress is... Kind of a waste of time, imo. They legitimately asked "how would you feel if you were a guest and the bride wore this dress". Um, am I properly hosted? Is there no gap? Then wear a paper towel for all I care.

No room for dissent on WB, kmmssg... Only stepford robots and smiling faces!

I was also banned from WB.  I told someone that her wedding dress looked fabulous on her or something similar.  I think I was allowed to creep after, but never could post again.  I'm such a bitch

ETA - Yep, still blocked

Here's a copy and paste of my Weddingbee Wednesday post from back then. This is why many of us kind of laugh when people make a fuss about mods, Knot Gods, admins, TOS, etc. It didn't work for us then (we even had a reg who was talking on the phone with a Knot God to resolve some issues), and it won't work for people now or in the future. Threatening to leave and take your coolness (?) with you means nothing to them. So that's why I laugh when it comes up and just follow the rules while making the occasional snark about it or them b/c I know bitching about any of it is pointless. So yeah, a bunch of us stayed off TK for 2 days and instead made a FB group to chat in and went to the Hive to post, where most of us were banned for no other reason than that we were Knotties. About a month later, Stage and Linger were banned from TK and that's when we created the Treehouse on Proboards. 

Knotties, 

As many of you know, TK Gods have been making changes to the site, and while there are changes many of us like, there are also changes we don't. There have been a lot of back and forth discussions and a lot things we were told would be happening that are now not. Some of our questions go unanswered or the responses to them make no sense, and we feel we are getting the run-around in some areas, and it's frustrating.

We realize that the boards are not only for regs. However, if regs didn't stick around and didn't post, the boards would be dead. Lurking isn't participation. Only by having active members of this community is there a community at all. If not for us, the lurkers would have nothing to lurk, and even they would leave.

In peaceful protest of the things we feel TK Gods are being dismissive about, many of us plan to boycott the site this coming Wednesday (tomorrow). We are asking that any and all regs who agree do not even log into TK that day so the site will not even get our page hits, which helps lead to profits. It is our hope that TK Gods will see a noticeable dip in activity and get a taste of what it would be like if there was yet another mass exodus. It will only work if we can get as many of you to participate as possible.

Lurkers, if any of you agree and want to help, we would welcome your "participation" by not logging in as well, but it is especially important that the regs stay off TK and do not post. AT ALL.

For funsies, a bunch of us have created accounts over on Wedding Bee and plan to go kill their buzz. It should be a great party, BYOS (bring your own stinger) of course.

Do it!  You'll be cool!  All the cool kids are doin' it!  And look! I made this Hive Invasion badge just for you!  It's all about the badges, people. And the unicorns.
