I was disappointed when I saw you could not access Tanya's profile, because I wanted to see when she started with her bullshit.

My first encounter with her was in a showbiz thread and she had a meltdown trying to defend Michael Barrymore. I remember reading "her" posts in sheer bewilderment, all my years online and I'd never seen anyone act quite like that before and have it be sanctioned by mods.

She has been banned on odd occasions but always gets back in.
Can I ask why anyone is posting about her on here, it’s only giving her the attention she obviously craves.
If only DS had the feature Facebook has, viz if you block someone they disappear from your sight forever. 😮‍💨

The thing is, the Internet being the Internet, people are very weird about sexual assault cases.
While it's a very different situation to Russell Brand, there was the Smartschoolboy9 situation just months ago (yes, that is real and not a creepypasta) where the memes and attempts at vigilante justice actively hindered police investigation of a prolific pedophile.
People have to be careful about what they say and do in these situations.

There was a really nice member on DS called Pumping Iron. Mixed English-Chinese from iirc East Mids. He got banned simply for writing a comment wisely advising someone not to get into transgender discussions on the forum.

Chap from Ireland called Plums and Pearls, I liked his posts. He did join AVF and posted for a while, before announcing he was taking a back seat. He didn’t say why, but fair enough.

Also a very nice poster was Laureline. Highly smart, intelligent professional lady, but never came across as up herself or superior or anything like that. She is French-German, speaks those languages plus, she writes in perfect English. She was on DS and joined AVF.

Overall I enjoyed my time on AVF but sadly it was becoming more and more like DS - as in, “HOW VERY DARE YOU HAVE A POLITICAL OPINION DIFFERENT TO OURS!” coming from ridiculously left wing members who love to gang up on anyone else. Even the site owner has no respect for anyone who doesn’t share his political opinions. And these are people who call themselves “liberal”. The irony!

There was one particular member on there who had problem that I intend to move to the US and that I’m happy that Trump got voted in. It particularly irked this person (and some other members) because I’m Asian, a woman, and I don’t feel threatened, victimised, persecuted or oppressed in the US.

Also, and this was quite a shocker - a forum member a few months ago made a thread with screenshots to show that the site owner casually joined in, uninvited into a private message conversation between this forum member and another forum member. It was a conversation about nothing controversial at all. No reason for site owner to butt in at all. Naturally this forum member was pretty alarmed, as others aware, including me. And the reasons given for the butting in were absolutely poor.

I tried to find that thread again at a later date for reference but I couldn’t find it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was deleted. It was obvious to me that the site owner reads people’s private messages for entertainment, and on this occasion got confused, thought it was a forum thread and so replied, and then got busted.

Shame, cos aside from the weird site owner and some annoying, ignorant forum members, there was some really nice ones (including RustyBin who you mentioned) and some nice threads and discussions. But I just couldn’t stick around any longer.

The thread you mention is under "AV Forums resources/Feedback support & site news" and is titled "Forums founder/staff member entered a private chat". It's on page 3 of the Feedback Support sub forum and the last post was made July 23 2024. I'm not entirely sure, but I think you need to be an AVF member to access that part of the forums. The site owner SW tried to explain it as an accident, like you I don't believe it for a minute! :D Here is his post on the matter.......

The tiny number of people who have permission to search conversations get them amongst all the search results. As you have seen, the presentation of conversations on mobile is virtually identical to the presentation of threads, so it would be possible for someone half asleep late at night to accidentally scroll to the bottom and send a message in the quick reply box without reading any of the messages on the page.
The conversation title here was 'The Covid Thread' so it's easy to see it and confuse it with a Covid thread.
That's what happened here, I'm certain.

Apologies for the confusion.

Was'nt there a woman on DS who was actually trying to solicit men? She would send male users private messages offering to hook up.

That thread in Broadcasting about the BBC's begging advert... they are all either previous or former employees, I would bet my house on it. You don't get that arse-licky over something like that if you are just Joe or Jane Public.

I dunno, some people are just like that, but its certainly plausible.

Another classic on the AVF Trump thread today. This is from leedebs...

"Blimey this is all so distressing & depressing. Might even have to take time out from this & the Musk thread as its frankly disheartening at the moment. Appears to be very little pushback for what amounts to some awful decision/changes being attempted."

She was also prolific on MSE and the student room as TinkTinkTinkbell. She died of a pulmonary embolism I seem to remember

She was banned from all of them, apart from DS. There was another forum she was a member of. I think it was fashion forum? Anyway, she admitted that she would used the toilet with the door open.

It seems like Tanya is now banned. She missed Dolly's passing and therefore lost her chance to tell us that she was the inspiration for Jolene. Shame. I was looking forward to that post.

Tanya is back now. She made a post in a thread yesterday

Oh Christ, Veri, a ver(i)y fucking annoying twat who would always enter BB threads deliberately saying the opposite to the general consensus just to get attention. In the CBB racism debacle and the foul Danielle Lloyd, she even questioned if using racist language was in itself racist and because Danielle was 'so beautiful' people were misconstruing her behaviour. I had to log off if I'd been on the wine because that fucker would have had me banned for life if I'd been given half a chance. I always assumed she was a woman tbh. See also, AOTB on showbiz threads.

Does anyone remember PamelaL and her golden caramel hair? She was so sexy that even the males in her family fancied her. She was a weird fucker.

Veri!

To my shame I posted in the BB forum for years, along with more serious subjects and fuck me when I saw that name i cringed. She managed to suck the life out of anywhere she posted.

There was an Electra, I remember liking her!

Wasn't the laughing reaction removed because some people were using it to bully others?

They still have it on AV Forums but that moderator Steven wades in all the time with non-subtle threats if you use it. That guy is way over the top with his moderation, even if he is "senior" moderator.

What are all these forums I never knew about 😅

I don't even know what AVF is 😂 I've only posted on DS and now here. I don't even remember what made me stop posting on DS, I definitely didn't get banned though!
