Blogging chat on Reddit

People were randomly removed the night private posts were copied and pasted in the public thread threatening to doxx people. That meant the private group had a mole and the moderators are working through accounts to readd them when we could be sure the poster was genuine, but TBH bad mouthing the group is a sure fire way to stay excluded

I didn't think I bad mouthed the group. I feel hurt by that comment. I won't comment any further and if I can delete, I will. I don't want back in the private group but I certainly don't need any hassle.

I know Emmser deleted her post but just on the post about being well known to mods - I don't have the same user name on Reddit as Boards. I'm only in the iBloggerChat because I commented on posts rather than lurk. I didn't even post all that much or make any stand out posts, but I was active.

I'm not really sure how it works so maybe I'm best sticking to boards. I've deleted my Reddit account and must catch up on all the housework, tv episodes etc. I've missed since getting sucked into the world of Reddit; it should come with a health warning!

Don't think it's clique at all. It's not like I have a very long post history on blogging over here. Maybe 6-7 months. People don't want to be doxxed and their careers threatened.

To be honest with you Emmser, I wasn't the one that deleted you so I wasn't in the position to re add people that I didn't delete. There was over 50 people deleted over the last week or so, I received multiple messages from people asking to get back into the private chat, many from people that rarely commented, only there for a snoop and then I was still receiving requests to join from random people as well as regular users in the public thread wanting to get onto the private group.

The public thread is still available and the same things are being discussed on both the public and private thread. Its up to the users on the public thread to keep it active and up to date, the same way the users did before the private page was set up.

Oh I know what you mean. I'm addicted to checking the Wedding subreddit and looking at all the dresses and reading the wedding dramas.

I only had weddingsonline when I was getting married but I was sucked into all the 'real weddings'! What's better is when you see someone you know: my friend worked for a wedding magazine and told me 9/10 people actually send in their wedding photos and info and ask to be published!

That's fair enough Wendy. Sure I can tag along in here and maybe ye'd visit from time to time.

That's awful about the doxxing wendydoll. I was also locked out of the private group but can understand why you did it. I'm happy enough to stick to here and the public thread anyway.

I was removed from the private group and asked to be added again, I'm guessing I was removed for being a lurker (not a snooper) rather than a contributor which is fair enough. I rarely post because I have nothing to add, usually because someone else has already said what I thought! And unfortunately that's not likely to change.
But I don't think the public group & the private group are the same at all, there are some really knowledgeable contributors that no longer post on the public group and I think it suffers because of that. It's a pity that trolling ruined a really great forum.

I was added to group but completely lost in reddit! So no worries if I’m deleted, I’ll stick to here. What’s doxxing?

If you need any tips feel free to PM!

Doxxing is when someone reveals a posters real identity online.

I now ill probably get a slap on the wrist for this but since the other thread was closed down under threat of legal action, maybe we could take our discussion to another forum where we can discuss such issues freely. One beginning with R and ending with T where we could set up our own Irish Blogger sub? The Irish media might pick up on it more too since a main Irish paper nicks half their online content from that site anyway.

good call I rather that site myself moved across years ago and only check in here from time to time now

Reddit archives threads after 6 months so I’m assuming that’s what happened there. No harm really, the place was populated by trolls. The closed group is still there though

I was kicked out of the closed group the first time they closed it and haven't been left back in. I'm at a bit of a loss now cos I loved having someone to vent about bloggers

Ye can always set up another group.

I don't post much on boards, I was reading the threads but wasn't an active participant so they wouldn't let me back in. I gave my boards username to the mods but *shrugs*

we'll set up our own group with blackjack... And strippers!

Nah, it's ok. I just liked following it and chatting about it.

Cutie 3.14 · 15-04-2018 6:05pm

I was never in the private chat groups on Reddit thb!

I posted a fair bit under old accounts here on Boards when the first threads about bloggers started and posted in the Reddit chat too, I'm missing it severely!

Is there any way I could be added to the private chat? I posted most days on the public Reddit chat if that qualifies Me!? If not it's Ok!

ibarelycare · 15-04-2018 6:12pm

Why doesn’t someone just start a new thread in the same subreddit that the archived one is in?

I feel the same. I have two different usernames and would like to keep my 'digital presence' as separate as possible haha

Cutie 3.14 · 15-04-2018 6:24pm

Ok I'm going to make a new thread...il post back here with the link soon!

Would you not consider opening a thread on Guru Gossip for the Irish Blogging World?

My advice would have been to set up another subreddit rather than just another thread in that forum as you’d have more control over removing trolls etc.

Plus that one will be archived in 6 months

Cutie 3.14 · 15-04-2018 10:26pm

Ah crap! I haven't a notion how to use Reddit in fairness, I always just have the thread open and easily accessible in a tab of its own on my phone's browser

Edit: I want to add aswel that to set up a subreddit id have to use my regular account, as you need to be a member for a certain length of time to do so.

I don't want to use my regular account for 2 reasons: I have no interest in being a moderator and dealing with trolls, and secondly there was an attempted doxing on the last person who set up the original Reddit thread and I don't want that happening to me!

Gal44 · 22-05-2018 2:56pm

Love the talk on Reddit. How can I join the closed chats?

danmanw8 · 13-02-2019 1:07pm

I'd like to know that as well

Hi Wexy86, I think I was in the most up to date one but since the start of the week I haven’t been able to find it. If it’s still there I must have been kicked out, I don’t know why though :-/ I really miss it, it was brilliant
