Yorkie Talk Members.

[DianaB]

Your rules make good sense to me. I know how easy it is for trolls to get on and cause trouble. We had some on there when I was active too. Admin is slow sometimes to answer so just give it some time and I'm sure that it will get straightened out. I probably wouldn't close out my account because you might still want to check on your friends and just not be on there quite as much. I still go back once in a while, but not often. There's so many on YT that it's very overwhelming.

Yes, I would like to go on YT and at least read the posts and thought I'd be able to still do that as a "Guest" but every time I bring the website up It sayd "Banned - no reason given AND when will it be lifted - never." As I said I'm hoping it was a mistake and not done because I asked not to be a member anymore. It was hard to leave because I've been a member since 2006 and have been very active there. It's just getting crazy with the threads that have been going on and I realize there are rules but I find it very hard to be coureous to posters such as the one I mentioned. Elaine

Oh ok. Thanks. They must have changed it back. I didn't hear anything so I didn't know. So now I should be able to on as a guest and just read but not post? Thanks. Elaine

[jrsygal37]

Huh. Now I just went to the site now and as soon as the site pulled up this came up STILL. If it says no longer a member rather then banned yet this is still coming up as soon as the site is pulled up.


You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Really? You can't see anything else? I just looked again and on your profile page it even says "No longer a member" and it says your last activity was 3 minutes ago. I wonder if admin just messed up somehow?

[jrsygal37]

Yeah, I was on 3 min. ago but only got to the website and what I pasted is what came up. I don't know. Well, atleast everyone knows I wasn't banned. That had upset me. As I said I love the site and I've made some wonderful friends but lately we have been getting some real wackos that come on. I can only pray that they truly are trolls. I hate to think of a sick or abused and neglected dog being real. I'm all for not alienating and trying to help or educate but there are some that you just can't educate and to me that's when Admin has to step in and start warning the original poster rather then the fed up members that answer. Just my .02. Anyway, thanks Lindsey.

[jrsygal37]

Well I got word back from Admin. They have corrected the banned that was under my name BUT STILL when I go to the site I am unable to navigate through it because this still come up. I emailed admin asking them WHY this is coming up and was told "That is standard for people who are no longer a member of Yorkie Talk." I then emailed Admin back and said "So, if someone new went to the site and was not yet a member they would see banned? It doesn't make sense that it would not just show me as a guest since essentially that is what I am now no? That can't be corrected?" And, their response was "No, that is what happens when a member requests their membership to be disabled." I don't know maybe it's me but it sounds like a punishment for telling them I no longer want to be a member AND it's really deflamation of character since I was not banned but left on my own. I don't understand why long time members are treated this way and the garbage coming on as of late are welcomed and protected. Elaine

I know that being a member allows you to do things that guests can't. I don't think that you can view the pictures. You may want to have them re-instate you and just not be on as much. That way you can still see what all's going on.

Elaine, the same thing happened to me too, but honestly...I don't remember all the details. I remember why, just not the details. It was a horrible experience for me and when things get so bad...I choose not to remember them and I don't.

Can you join as a new person again?

I go there and read a few threads, not the one you mentioned, I try to avoid those, but too much drama goes on and I don't need or want that.

I agree with Janet why don't you sign up on under another name. I don't know sorry I can't be of much help. I am a member there I started in 2004 but the forum has changed awhile ago and I didn't think for the best, and like Diana mentioned once 4wt opened I have been here all the time, a smaller group and so much nicer.. Someone suggested a thread on Yorkies on 4Wt that would be so nice.. Maybe we should start begging administration...
