    It will probably go up again folks. What with it being a rollercoaster and all.

    I used to be a member of that site but relinquished my membership of late. Used to tip in and out of the parenting forums but the b*tchiness of some of the users totally put me off. You could barely comment and you'd get attacked so I just left. I know a lot of others left for the same reasons.

    A lot of posters were denied access to the site lately also. I don't mind the bitching. Some folks are a bit too sensitive. No point posting threads if posters are going to take offence if people do not agree with them.

    I'm a member of two other parenting sites and neither of them are like RC. There's just a bad element in chit-chat and that's what turned me off. Nothing to do with being sensitive, I am just not into being a part of something where people continually attack others.

    What type of bitchiness galwaygirl? Can you give some examples (pure curiosity)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    I think it might be down.

    I regularly post there but recently have been very put off by the unilateral bannings and deletions of threads for no good reason (other than "because I said so").

    Lol rd isn't going close because they banned two people and five others got their knickers in a twist and flounced of.

    Sure they are all back posting under different names.

    Cc&t is so funny. Absolutely full of nut jobs. It's our main source of entertainment in work

    Lamp, they were banned for being mentally unstable.

    How many have been banned from boards? At least 6 that I am aware of, probably much more


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Penpushers


    Well it's back working again.

    It's gone very slow on alot of the boards. Some boards see no action. Can't see why they do not streamline the site better.

    Parenting forum is that way >>>>>>>>>


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Wow.... 2 new posters... it's almost like a disguised attempted to advertise the website they're talking about....


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Penpushers


    Advertising by saying its down, or that only the mentally unstable posters are left?? Don't think so. Sorry to disappoint you.

    You should have a look its full of predictable Jessica fletcher types like yourself!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Ah, it is a bit obvious though, you've got to admit


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    So are new posters treated suspiciously?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭ Cayden Full Ramp


    I don't think it's suspicious. Op was prob genuinely enquiring. Can't see how this thread promotes Rollercoaster in any way to be honest..if anything it paints it in a bad light!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    I used to love that site, then I found boards!

    N-no, you misunderstand. She didnt say anything about people "not agreeing", she said bitchiness. And she's right. That site is full of utterly unhinged people who will attack over... as you say, people merely disagreeing with them. Yes, some folks are too sensitive as you say, but not the ones who say they find Rollercoaster too bitchy. As Irishbird said though, it's hilarious. :)

    Looks like it's being more rigorously moderated, always upsetting news I guess for people who feel they've a god-given right to be as rude and insulting as they wish. All they need to do now is ban that hideous "DD/DS/DH" stuff.

    Here? Only if they give cause to be viewed with suspicion.

    Translation: "Anyone who verbally assaulted anyone who had the temerity to disagree with their view."
    You don't get banned merely for "an opinion".

    Boards is where it's at.
