Have you ever been attacked critically by the admin of any social site?

Yes I was told off by a female moderator once and I told her to keep her site where the sun doesn't shine. I would not want part on it ant way!

I have not encountered as such, but know that if I did I would have to opt out of the site as I am a firm believer that no one, absolutely no one will ever on any online site take me out of my character. As I have far more problems in my off-line life to truly allow anyone to get that upset where it is going to interrupt my brain from my normal life. I certainly would not remain at a site where admin themselves were so professional as basically they call the shots and after all your hard efforts it is easy for them to hit the ban button and well there goes your efforts, earnings and blood pressure.

Hello dear Lady. Hugssss... It would seem that there is a fine line that administrators need to walk. they are there to "moderate." thier purpose is not to impose their own persnal thoughts to discussins but to be sure that no discussion gets out of hand or goes against any of their rules. In so involving themselves in discussions, they leave a door open that has a sign on it saying "We Are NOT an unbiase site and you do NOT have the freedom of speech which is entitled to you." In this alone, they place themselves and the site in jeapordy of losing the very means that keep this site open... their contributors. Unless a rule has been broken or something has been written that may bring harm to the site, then moderators should simply "observe." I myself was called out at another site in a very terribly rude way. Not being one to be silent, I vented my disappointment and my anger directly at the administartor. She then fired back at mean which only infuriated me further. Rather than act the part of the moderator, she fueled the fire inside of me. The result? I, a contributor of over 39 articles that had one 53 awards for my articles, simply left the site, taking with me before I left, copies of everything I had contributed to the site, never ever to return. Far too numerous are social sites and paying writing sites for me to ever worry that I have left one because of abuse. Simply said, their loss, not mine. I hope that you are able to come to some peace concerning your issue here. I have never recieved a single payment from this site here and do not even know what the payout threshold is. I only know that thus far I have no issues with anyone here. I am sorry that you have, sweet lady. Continue your writings as they are inspireing and you DO have a following of your words and questions. I am one of your greatest fans and think the world of you. always know I never miss what you write but choose carefully those that I respond to, Hugsssssss for you. Always, Darrel

I did have one experience like that some time ago and I left that site and so did several of my referrals to, you should post the name of the site here and see if others have had the same prob you can mention the site without posting the full http so as not to get this discussion banned, its good to tell others I think.

It does seem odd for admin to criticise members for expressing their views! I do belong to another site where moderators have been known to mistakenly cancel members accounts, and hide behind anonymity to deny responsibility: leaving the stranded member to somehow prove that they had not done so themselves, and struggle to recover their rewards.

NO, I dont remember that I have been attacked critically by any social site, I am using different social networking and other sites to share my ideas and to connect with my friends and family but I was never attacked like this Have a nice time...:)

no and thats just not right. if I was on that one I just wouldnt tl to admin any more and just might get out of it unless I was earing good with talking to the other people!

If you're talking about MoraChat, I had words with the Admin there after some of the mods complained about me (short responses). He dared to tell me that I had been warned several times in PMs, when in fact it had only been one. We had words and I got banned. Good riddance.

yes i have. but it wasnt a pay site. it was a site where we interact and the administrater just baraged me with attacks about what i had posted. even though many of the other posters agreed with me and left the site with me. some that didnt want to give up the site, just stayed and emailed me privately that they didnt agree or like the way she sometimes attacked people but still needed the site for certain things. so, that was that.

I have never come across such a rude administrator! To publicly criticise someone is not admirable and very unprofessional. We should have the freedom to post whatever we like within the rules and not be questioned as to why….I read in one of your comments what your response was and I am astounded that this moderator would be offended by it. She is an atheist and must be aware that not everybody else. You should have replied that as a God loving person you are offended by HER lack of belief! What an idiot this person is!

Yes, i have gone through such happenings in a different way. I was once promoted as a support team member for a technical forum, where we give all technical solutions, i was at the top among the support team and provided many solutions to the admin as well as some moderators and to the members of the forums. I was busy with my project for quite a few days and i wasn't able to login, suddenly i was thrown back to a normal members state from the team member state..I asked the admin why i was thrown back, he reported that i was not active for some days, i told some reasons , he replied, if u live up to expectations , u would again be the support team member, i tried and he made me the support team in a short period of time... While i was active , suddenly my star went very low and i was thrown severely back to a junior member stage, i asked him again, what was the reason, he told me to read the rules of the forums, i read it twice, but there was no connection between...I told the admin, i was doing good as a support team, but why was this made, he told not to ask anymore and that time, i went off from the forum.... That is the solution, if somebody among the admin and the moderator group is annoying much, then it's time to quit forums !!!

Hmmm....I have learned to forget that. It is not a pleasant experience and it is better left forgotten. I just move on with my life and not make a big issue out of it if we have to stay long in this business.

That is pretty crazy stuff. I have never been involved in anything like that before and personally I wouldn't have wasted the time or words going back and forth with her even though your right. I'm a member of a movie forum site and I'm good friends with the owner and all the mods and that's the way it should be. They don't mind my personal opinion on there comments or movies and they have never expressed any type of anger for my own opinion. I think some people just take things way to seriously and to heart like the admin of that site your talking about. Although it's not weird that a owner is posting on his or her own site, it is messed up that they would verbally abuse you over your own opinion. I recommend just spreading your experience like you have here only everywhere and let people know its not worth their time if they can't even freely leave comments without being attacked.

Naw that never happed to me be for wha site was u on anyway and that is messed up that we got these internet Gangstas lolollo

Hello zandi, I believe the only solution there was to leave the site and spread the word on how BAD the admin is.. there's no way i would allow myself to be humiliated. certainly this admin wants to run in his little kingdom on that site putting down on others.. well, admin here has always been professional, and that's why i never leave the site. unlike others when they are free to hate, which is not healthy

I have gone on other sites, and as a voyeur I would witness some unnecessary abuse. Thus far, I am happy to say that I haven't seen any abuse on this site. I feel rather welcome as a newbie. Even in discussion forums with differing opinions, people are rather courteous to share there views. Thank you myLot for such a great site.
