I'm getting awfully tired

AmoroAgain · June 2010

Of the mod on the Beauty board. It seems she's sent some people after me over there so she doesn't have to argue with me why she didn't need to close a thread.

AlmostSt.Laurent · June 2010

We just lucked out over here

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · June 2010

Wait, is StephieHall the mod on beauty? She usually seems okay. But I never go over there. Well that gives me something to do this afternoon...

kikibaby · June 2010

I can't believe that is still going on!

AmoroAgain · June 2010

She is Mery, but she closed a thread where she unilaterally decided that the discussion was getting too heated, though no rules were broken and OP was clearly crazy sauce. Then when I confronted her about it, she sic'd some other people on me so she didn't have to deal with it, and they've been pretty crazy for people I've never had any contact with.

I know. I'm just going to leave it because those girls are really starting to piss me off. Who knew that telling people to chillax would start such a huge to-do?

kikibaby · June 2010

She's quick to close a stupid argument thread, yet this weirdo vendor has been there for 3 days: http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_wedding-beauty_experience-power-of-positive-energy

AmoroAgain · June 2010

Yep. She's awesome.

stephl3055 · June 2010

I feel like I have to stick up for Stephie a little bit. She's on my local board and is truly one of the nicest people there. I will say she does not like drama and I think it's fair to say that she avoids it at all costs, which is why I believe she closed the thread. Also, she didn't "sic" anyone on you, Amoro. She asked for the DFW mod's email saying she had a question (this was prior to the thread being shut down). There was some issue with the emails and the DFW mod's answer never reached Stephie so she decided to close the thread.

Then, some of the DFW girls started wondering what had happened, and ventured over to the beauty board and read the posts. There were a few that decided to post on the beauty board in the thread you posted on their own. That's it. Stephie didn't come to the DFW board saying, "OMG, someone is harassing me about closing a thread, go tell her off!" That is not her style and like I said before, she is one of the classiest people I have come across on these boards.

Thanks for reading this.

AmoroAgain · June 2010

They're taking it awfully far for people who just "happened" to wander over.

Is this a PM thing, or can a girl get a link.

I dunno.. I say, if you are uncomfortable with drama or standing behind your decisions then you shouldn't be a mod. KWIM?

I think she jumped the gun a bit for closing the thread.

stephl3055 · June 2010

Leah, I get what you're saying. I will say that the DFW boards are somewhat laid back in comparison to other boards, and it's a big step to go from a poster on a local board to a mod on a busier, larger board. So the comments she saw in the thread probably weren't what she was used to. I'm not making excuses for her, that is just my .02 based on some of the stuff I read there.

I think it's fine for people to disagree and give other people opinions, even if they are blunt. If the bride asks for it, then she asks for it. But do we really need to call each other bitches and go off on each other? No. State your opinion and move on. If it's not taken well by the OP, then that's fine too.

See, it didn't go there until she got ridiculous with me. I just will not stand to have someone attack my relationship with my husband or tell me that because I'm a blunt person, OBVIOUSLY my H should be pitied.

ETA: And if she can't handle the difference between the local board and a national, she shouldn't mod a national.

Is the link to the new one with the crazy women.

I don't see how that first post was so bad and yet the conversation on this post has called you "rude" and someone flat out called you a "b*tch", this is so much better then the post where you told the girl to not worry about nail polish color?

It seems like the board is open specifically so people can say nasty stuff about you IMO. That's really ridiculous

jasmineh7777 · June 2010

Is twinmommy the one that was talking about "goodnight games" on Snarky Brides?
And I love that one chick criticized you for being mean and yet called you a biitch. Criticism fail.

This. Why hasn't she wandered back over to close that thread where everyone is attacking you. That makes no sense. FWIW, twinmommy jumped on you first by making a snide comment about your picture that wasn't even true. She brought it upon herself.

Agreed. Not okay for people to tell nail polish woman she's being ridiculous, TOTALLY okay to bash me. I can take it and give it back, but the double standard is quite interesting. I mean, if you're going to start quoting rules and blah blah, then you damn well better follow them, always.

Wait... what exactly are "goodnight games"?

JanoBean75 · June 2010

I am trying to read it, but that one girl that keeps saying "your a b!tch" is pissing me off. It's YOU'RE. Come on! If you're old enough to get married, you're old enough to know the difference between your and you're.

I can't take her seriously.

I don't generally kiss ass, but I like Amoro. She's honest and doesn't sugar coat. If someone can't handle brutal honesty or just regular honesty, they need to stop asking internet strangers for advice.

Well, I can't really win. If I close a negative thread, I get called out. And then if I leave one open, I get called out. So--what to do?

At any rate, I wasn't really sure what to do--I just thought the conversation had taken a negative turn and wasn't going anywhere good. I mean, the Beauty Board isn't really like it is here--it's supposed to be about beauty and that's it. It wasn't directed at anyone personally.

I tried to consult my local mod to get her opinion first but she didn't answer me so I used my own judgment. I admitted to her later that I may have been hasty. But it's done, so, there it is. I am sorry the DFW girls kept the other thread going and will close it also.

And the PP is probably right--I don't like drama or confrontation and am very sensitive so being a mod might not be right for me. I won't be back over here so if anything else is said, I won't be answering it. So sorry in advance for the post and run.

Goodnight games are what the husband and crazywife play when they get in bed with the kids at night. Theres also something to do with dolphins.

Isn't there an entire mod board, not to mention, oh, a hundred other mods you could ask about it?

But yes, if you can't handle a bit of crap, you probably shouldn't be doing the mod thing.

In the future maybe just smooth things over and steer things back on topic instead of closing threads. Closing threads just pisses people off even more.
