Am I crazy, or did her profile disappear? Posts I've seen from her have disappeared and her profile says zero replies/posts/likes/everything What's up?? I like @OhBenji she can't just vanish!
That sucks. She posted in her kitchen remodel post this morning that it was flagged for spam for whatever reason. It looks like she deactivated. Hopefully she comes back!
@BostonKisses2 do you know what happened? Was she deactivated by MODs or did she do it on her own? I hope she comes back, too. We all like our little O&D bump family and she is a part of it
I'm really surprised to see this since she was posting this morning.
Agreed.
I think she was still being spammed.
What does that mean? I thought there were just flags and love its, but I did see "spam" on her post.... I'm still a newb when it comes to this new format.

When you flag, you can do it for spam or abuse. Her kitchen remodel thread was flagged for spam.

Oh I didn't really know that. Who knows.... I don't want to play in this argument.
Aw, I liked @OhBenji. I hope she comes back. Maybe under a new SN so she can avoid whatever drama went on.
Yeah. I have no idea what happened on Parenting, but clearly people were following her to other boards as well just to taunt her. That would get pretty damn annoying. OhBenji you should make a new SN and just not tell anybody who you were cause we like you over here
She wasn't bullied. She made at least two AEs that were malicious trolls directly responsible for personal attacks on other posters. Technology is a bitch. In this new format change, the powers that be can verify that a single source is behind multiple screen names. So yeah, you guys on this board may have had exerpeince with one of the many faces of Ohbenji, but on other boards, she masqueraded as two other trolls that viscously attacked other posters.
I'm not saying she wasn't an ae or that she was bc don't know. However parenting has a bit of a reputation, either you sink or swim. You guys are not exactly known for being "perfect and nice." So I'm sure what went down with that poster wasn't UN provoked. Either way it just needs to die.
@jackofthebox I don't think any single poster on Parenting has ever been guilty of being "perfect and nice". We know. It is the tag line at the top of the Parenting page.
That said, there is somewhere for everyone.
I completely agree with you on this. She deactivated. So can we move on?
I mean, I'm beginning to care that all of you keep coming over here to stir shit up. In case you haven't noticed, no, we don't care.
As someone else said, no one has provided proof anyway. It looks a lot like a few people just decided it was true. Ohbenji was an awesome member of our board that, thanks to your board, is no longer here. So no, we don't care about your accusations, and frankly we wish you would stop posting about it.
So basically it's okay that she personally attacked members of Parenting as long it hasn't been done to you guys? What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander?
Ladies I'm almost sorry I even started this thread. My intention was not to bring over a fight from another board.
I would appreciate it if the parenting board would kindly either step back to parenting, or start a post to introduce yourselves. We welcome all, and we take pride in being a drama free board. We don't know what happened on your board and we never cared to know. We don't even know who you all are. The point of this thread was to say we are sad ohbenji has disappeared. It was not started in defense or backlash. We understand that you must be upset, but you guys are doing nothing for yourselves coming over here in this manner.
Please just let it go. She's gone. We wish she wasn't, but she is.
Everything is puppies and rainbows until someone calls you a trashy alcoholic skank and mocks the end of your marriage. Keep living the dream guys.
I read that thread, and it was awful, I agree. That ae deserved to get banned. We're saying, until someone shows us proof, none of us believe it was ohbenji, and we don't appreciate you coming here in an attempt to bash her. She's gone now anyway, so you have no reason to continuing commenting about it.
You missed the point. There is evidence that isn't allowed to be shared because it's private information. TB never releases the private information of anyone, even known trolls. Have you ever once seen the "evidence" of a troll outing? It doesn't need to be public info to exist. You don't have to believe it, ignorance is bliss after all but remember you are only as good as the company you keep. And when the same thing happens to you, which I hope it never does, you might care.
No I get it. You know she's the troll so she's the troll. Whatever. Forgive me for my lack of sympathy. All I know of you and your friends is what I lurked on the ohbenji call out on Parenting and this thread. You've made your point, please move on.
There are regulars on parenting who are not ready to agree that ohbenji was the troll. What makes you think that we, we who actually like benji, would agree with you?
Mabel, for reasons that are still unclear, you created a call out thread declaring benji the troll. Then, your fellow parenting friends came over to our board and began spamming benji. And now, benji has deactivated. Maybe you see that as proof; we see it as a witch hunt.
So no, we don't care what else you have to say. Your comments, your "concern," are not welcome here. You are wasting your breath.
If you want to stay and join us, that's fine. Do an intro, check out past threads, enjoy our puppies and rainbows if that's what you want to call it. Don't come here to "help us see the light." We're not crashing your board about this; please give us the same respect.
Ohbenji's posts were flagged as spam by parenting members. Yes, I lurk enough to know what board they were from (not like it would have been hard to guess).
Perhaps we should all just flag them for spamming this thread, since we have asked them to stop several times and they feel the need to continue. Some people won't listen to reason. It's no wonder Benji decided to GTF away from this nonsense.

I *very* rarely get involved in drama on TB but damn... that statement is ridiculous.
