What exactly is an unwelcome tone? I'd really like to make sure for the next 4 weeks that I, a 33 year old grown woman, follow these bump rules.
Clearly I'm not doing a great job.
Truth seems unwelcoming.
Any and all sarcasm seems unwelcoming.
Disagreeing in the slightest seems to be on the list.
Even my favorite gifs seem to be behaving badly.
Help me, help you bump gods.

Now where's the sarcasm font when I need it.

Your last sentence made me think of this:

An unwelcoming tone .. Is anything that doesn't agree with what the op has asked or suggested... If it doesn't involve rainbows and butterfly's.. Personally this far along in pregnancy I don't have time for fluff and bs!! I'm at my wits end ...

You do you.. I think you're great kristen2b

Better be careful, they'll ban you for saying butthurt. Apparently that's bullying and isn't to be tolerated when it comes from a select group of people. I suggest becoming a drive-by poster, that way you can say whatever you want and they won't do anything to you.

I only have two warnings.. I have another one to burn before I worry too much.

Once you are on the shit list, you can get banned for literally anything.

Where I'm from, "what the fuck's up, bitchface?" is a pleasantry. You're telling me that wouldn't go over well on here? Damn.

Apparently writing a notice kindly letting newbies know what this community is like is unwelcoming and ban worthy so fuck knows anymore!
Sorry not sorry

I believe I saw one one of the "we're shutting this s*** down" posts from the admin that you are banned with your 3rd warning. So it seems from how it was phrased that you dont actually have one to burn. Not sure if that's a change, just trying to protect those I like seeing around here.

I would REALLY like to see the admins answer this. Like seriously, they've gone crazy with that "unwelcoming tone" shut down so PLEASE explain it. I see an option for me to rate my satisfaction with this app every time I open it and I've seriously been thinking of sending an email about how it could be greatly "improved" if the community admins would back off and let the forums be

Wait did someone ELSE banned on a recent thread?! Geez, I can't even keep up with it anymore

Daphneh28

Omg please someone explain. We are grown up women. I don't like sugar coating when it comes to pregnancy. I dont like sugar coating when it comes to life. Life doesn't give you"participation" awards! Just because someone has an opinion and I don't share it doesn't mean that we can't get along. Come on drive by people. You can't post in a forum full of strangers and expect sunshine and rainbows. Ps: I really got to learn how to gif on this iPad!

Ladies, we are such rebels.

I have been MIA, you know, having a baby and appendicitis and the what nots. 

A few keep commenting "we are grown women." Yep. Do grown women need a definition laid out for what unwelcoming tone is? If BumpAdmin is not responding to the requests for a definition it is likely because they are surprised grown women need one. 

And if the folks causing all the unwelcoming backlash are not worth the breath, why waste it?

It's confusing because just this week a member was called a cunt and bitch but the name caller did not get banned. Yet another member posted a gif that simply said "and" and got the ban hammer. So yeah. It'd be nice if they could get their shit together.

Last time I checked, I thought we were all adults... Apparently we have to censor everything nowadays

I have repeatedly asked for clarification to no avail. What I would like to know is why the Bump Gods say " please ask for clarification if you are unclear," only to completely ignore any request for clarification. What say you bump gods?

Not to mention, humourous light-hearted threads where everyone enjoys themselves get closed immediately for no reason, but yet one where a poster attacks everyone else and claims everyone is "faking their pregnancies" takes multiple complaints and two days for them to even look at. I know what I consider an unwelcoming tone, but apparently it's not the same as the Bump Gods, so yeah, we need the clarification.

How I picture the bump gods

Ok, HOW do I miss these things? Both threads you guys mention I never saw. I have to think someone hurling slurs like cunt & bitch gets warnings! Maybe they just haven't accrued 3 yet? Also what thread did someone accuse ppl of faking pregnancies? I miss all the good stuff.
