oh my god this place is evolving into Weddingbee

I blame it on the nipple tassle, boob job, drama post from a while back. Knot Jennifer wasn't too pleased about that one....

SewInLoveWithDMB · March 2013

I have to say - is it any different than what it was before? I a lot of that is common sense.

Ro041 · March 2013

I think they added the anti-bullying stuff.

My "unpopular opinion?"

Bullying definitions can be overated. Obviously really hurting someone so they harm themselves should not be tolerated, but saying something that can be classified as "mean" but isn't *that* awful? Automatically gets labeled as "bullying." In fact, I think being exposed to some amount of "meaness" is actually helpful, otherwise there are going to be a lot of sensitive souls out there who will get really upset in the real world when the first "mean" comment is said.

It's like crying wolf...not every comment can be bullying....save it for when it REALLY matters.

But, as I say, that is my unpopular opinion....

The TK gods posted the rules, I figured Id share. We haven't had an issue here so far. So we are good.

I completely agree with you DMB Fan. I know the TK gods watch the boards, so maybe our imput will be reflective on that for once...

DMB fan, what?

hahaha

<div>My mom claims she was cyber bullied by a student who posted her name and pic on fb and said she was a sh!tty teacher. She read a recent blog post that advances her claim, and it has been attached for your viewing pleasure if you <a href="http://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2013/03/11/when-teachers-are-the-bullys-target/?sr=fbmain" rel="nofollow">click here</a></div>

HAs anyone seen the ABC Family movie CyberBully? I may have watched the premier. It may have been excellent.

<div>I may have watched it on Netflix because I don't have cable. I may have loved it. </div><div>
</div><div>While I understand the new "no bullying" rule, who's going to determine if someone is being bullied? The TK gods? Mods? Posters? I guess I've seen a lot of posters recently that get super offended when other posters are truly honest with them. I don't think I have seen anyone saying "Your idea sucks" or "You're a horrible person" but more of, "Hey. Talk to your FI. You're marrying HIM, not us, so talk to HIM about the budget." or "That looks like an elementary school project." *shrug* </div>

Over on Chit Chat on TB, someone asked Bump Jackie about it. They are going to review every accusation of "bullying" to ensure it isn't simply "butthurt." BUT, there is a fine like between snarky and mean for the sake of being mean. It's the latter they're trying to avoid, KWIM?

Also, TB has a massive ongoing problem with AEs making SNs that are very similar to regular posters, even stealing siggy pictures and things, and then sharing personal information about people's kids and RL names, a whole mess. That's being treated as "bullying" more than a little snarky snark.

I like the idea of bullying v. butthurt.

I nominate you to be the official bully or butthurt determinator. BBD for short. We can flag you when our feelings are hurt and you can make the official ruling, and filter up to Stina. Stina can deal out appropriate punishment. <div>

We had a small issue with one, I wont say her name, but she went MIA recently. Her ideas were not liked by anyone but herself. I've been on TK long enough to know what is right or wrong and she thought I was being mean to her based on all of her crazy ideas. All I was doing well telling her it was wrong.

<div>I accept your nomination to the position of BBD. From here-on-out, please PM me if you need to know whether you are being bullied or simply being butthurt. I will investigate the issue and then send a preliminary report with a recommendation to Stina. She will make the final decision whether you are being bullied, or simply getting butthurt. Hahahaha.</div>

Just please make sure you do a shout out to me so I know I have a fricken PM. This damn site doesn't notify me.

formerlyCooper · March 2013

I read through the revised TOS and am suspicious that my main account got "reported" by one too many butthurt newbs, causing my current issues with appearing as banned when I post with that account. The changes to the TOS don't irk me so much as the lack of warning. TK should notify members when they're toeing the line or have been suspended for a failure to adhere to the rules. As of right now, there's no such system in place and additionally no way to report abuse from problem posters if it's delivered through a PM. So unfortunately, a lot of the frequent blunt posters [like myself] get the shaft. Anyone agree? Is there any way to file a complaint with how Knot Jennifer and the Knot Gods are running this circus?

They go overboard way too much. I think they take their jobs too serious. They only chime in when it is convenient to them, but not when someone actually needs their help. Im reading the thread on CC and I think it is BS!
