Yes, I saw that earlier - that was from one of the knuckle-dragging mods who seems to be in a permanent state of apoplexy with the world in general, but particularly with anyone who dares to post there.I noticed someone questioning a poster saying that were banned for saying they liked Boris and was banned for trolling. The reply was 'why do people make up shit about what they were banned for?'
I went through my moderation on DS and I could show them some stuff that would make them think twice. Banned and suspended for being 'unconstructive' is a favourite.
I'm sure it will all calm down on the various forums over the next few days. People will find a home and stick to it
I quite agree but it is funny.I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place. Otherwise those who want to disrupt things and bait to generate friction will be achieving their goal.
As Fenella said, I'm sure it will once people have got everything out of their system. Things are obviously still a little raw at the moment!I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place.

I think people are just venting. A lot of posters are just frustrated and angry at the way they were treated for years at DS. I know I did. Especially as I had been posting for a long time and the whole experience was ruined by a few posters who seemed take over in the last couple of years.I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place.

Yes, I see your point. I was really just thinking of that Oscar Wilde Quote - “There is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is is not being talked about.” I think posters who cause trouble just love being talked about regardless of what is being said. But yes I do accept that things are still raw.I think people are just venting. A lot of posters are just frustrated and angry at the way they were treated for years at DS. I know I did.

It's just kicked off because of what's happened the last couple of days.
I do agree Amelia, just wanted to get a few things off my chest!I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place.

I spotted your name and Laboutin earlier and wondered if it was an homage to Carrie/SATC! Haven’t watched it for years and years, I think it’s time for me to rewatch it (after I’ve finished my Miami Vice complete box set).It's quite weird and meta - forums members using forums to slag off other forum members and their discussions. Maybe we should all get in a big forum and fight it out to the digital death
By the way, I am decobelle on DS and AV - not a lurker but not a prolific poster either! I think I was OD'ing on Sex and the City when I set this profile up a year ago
Until tonight I'd only seen their DS thread, my god there's a couple of loonies in there. Who gets triggered by a flag?Sleeping Dogs appears to be run by Sandy Alessandro. No wonder it is the new uber left echo chamber.
Well said.I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place. Otherwise those who want to disrupt things and bait to generate friction will be achieving their goal.
Yeah, do it, there's enough lockdown left for you to finish the set! Problem is, it makes me hate my wardrobe (no Laboutin's sadly, just a lot of ConverseI do agree Amelia, just wanted to get a few things off my chest!

It’s a fair point, I get what you’re saying, but this is one thread out of hundreds of others on here. This website has been here for years, although on that final GD DS thread it seems a lot of them think it’s recently been set up specifically to bitch about DS lol.I may be risking getting a pasting here by saying this but wouldn’t it be better just to ignore what’s going on in other forums and just focus on making this forum a happy place.

I think this forum is where you come to talk influencers and Instagram people. I try to be careful what I say in case I get in trouble (againTattle isn't really a discussion forum though or atleast the threads I go on aren't. I like the fact that there are appreciation threads in Rave and then 'the rest' which are out and out bitch fests so there isn't so much nastiness between posters. I come here for the acerbic wit of some posters.
Speaking of which, I’ve just been having a wander round and saw there had been loads of new posts about someone called Jack Monroe. Went on to the thread and apparently she’s a major “influencer.” I’d never heard of her but she doesn’t seem to be popular on here.I think this forum is where you come to talk influencers and Instagram people. I try to be careful what I say in case I get in trouble (again) but overall its a decent forum and I haven't encountered many horrors plus you can discuss all sorts of subjects that would probably get shutdown on DS.
I've literally never heard of 99% of the influencers in here, I came to this forum after searching for a couple of TikTokers I wasn't keen on then found this thread later. People really don't hide their feelings here do theySpeaking of which, I’ve just been having a wander round and saw there had been loads of new posts about someone called Jack Monroe.

All I really know of Jack Monroe was that they were the person responsible for bankrupting Katie Hopkins when Monroe launched a libel case against her. Hopkins had to pay £24K in damages plus costs and it was the costs that ruined her.Speaking of which, I’ve just been having a wander round and saw there had been loads of new posts about someone called Jack Monroe.

Ah yes. I remember that story but had forgotten who the person who sued her was. ,All I really know of Jack Monroe was that they were the person responsible for bankrupting Katie Hopkins when Monroe launched a libel case against her.

That's right. The clique on the LBC thread were celebrating it at the time as it was shortly after Hopkins parted ways with LBC management, so it meant there was something else for the clique to dine out on.All I really know of Jack Monroe was that they were the person responsible for bankrupting Katie Hopkins when Monroe launched a libel case against her.

quick overview if you are wondering why there are so many threads on herAh yes. I remember that story but had forgotten who the person who sued her was. ,
Can't say I'm that upset about Hopkins being bankruptAll I really know of Jack Monroe was that they were the person responsible for bankrupting Katie Hopkins when Monroe launched a libel case against her. Hopkins had to pay £24K in damages plus costs and it was the costs that ruined her.
