Cardinal Rule of Bumping

I've been a lurker on this board, so I've been watching the drama.  Just want to throw out there the kind of obvious solution to the problem.  If you don't feed the trolls, they will go away. 

I will lead by example, as I assure you, a certain troll we all know and dislike (to say the least), will try to bait me.  Please watch as I do nothing, and then please join me in ignoring her, both here and all other threads she writes on. 

I know it will be easier said than done for those of you with a history with her, but think of it as good practice for when you need to start ignoring negative behavior in your LOs, rather than rewarding it. Big Smile

Re: Cardinal Rule of Bumping

  • Yes I couldn't agree with this more!! I'm not involved in this whole fiasco & haven't said anything cause this is not my battle... but its getting EXTREMELY old...OBVIOUSLY they are not going anywhere they get blocked they create new accounts....this goes for BOTH parties if someone is bullying or being mean or harrassing ignore the parties (not naming names) who enjoy the drama & feed off it & enjoy keeping it alive will eventually move elsewhere to create drama elsewhere when they get bored & realize they're actions are being ignored & leave this board alone...(with any luck) & for God's sake don't follow them when they do (cause they'll just come back)!! From what I've been reading a little bit everybody could probably be accused of bullying, harrassing or cussing at one point or another (some more than others)..quit beating a dead horse & drop it once & for all!!!

  • I agree with you ladies. Tired of the bullies and drama. Before, I thought it was because ppl were hormonal, but this is no longer an excuse. I took many breaks from the board because of the unnecessary rudeness that some think is cool. But again, it's an internet forum, so you get all kinds of people... maybe once they remember that the are PARENTS and should be good roles models for their kids, they will be embarrassed by their behavior and will stop.

  • agree- we all have better things to do with our spare time anyway
  • Is it wrong to contemplate getting pregnant again right away so that I can join a new board?
  • I agree.

    Also this is probably a very UO- but don't all pedophiles in the world have access to these pictures? If you removed your siggy pics JUST because of this incident I think you are a bit naive.  You need to be careful with your privacy regardless of Allison being around or not.  For every post she makes/her husband sees, there are probably 10 weirdos looking who don't post. Just a thought.

    (Puts on flame retardant suit and gets ready). I think the whole remove the mod thing is stupid and juvenile, at least she contributes to legitimate posts and isn't constantly bringing the drama back.  I am on several of the same boards as our mod and I appreciate her input and contributions on those boards. She tried to put up a PSA the other day about Amazon mom and people just posted stupid crap on it that she was seeking attention. I for one appreciated it because I forgot I hadn't made my purchase yet. Some people on here need to grow up and stop acting like children.

    Thank you for that.

    Enticing idea! 'Hey DH! I know we're 2 and through, but how about 1 more just so I can get off the June 2012 board? It's full of all sorts of crazy"

    It seems like an awful lot of work right now though. Maybe I'll just go hang out on 1st Tri and lurk where there's less drama.
  • Just my opinion but I think people don't feel comfortable with Alicia being a higher authority type figure since she was involved in the whole incident on Facebook. I could really care a less if she's MOD as long as she isn't abusing her power...which it seems she may have been since some posts were being locked for no reason and some that should have been locked weren't. I am not saying that 100% for sure she is at fault but it's kinda weird how the locking problem only started when this drama started when Allison returned.

    This board was slow but peaceful before Allison came back so obviously that's the wrench in the board.

    Never in my life did I think "less drama" & "1st tri board" would mean the same thing. *sigh*

    I agree...the drama wasn't on the Bump, it was on FB so it should stay over there. For those of us that didn't join the FB group and stayed here it has been drama free until FB people decided to bring their drama here. I think those involved need to let it die or take it elsewhere.

    While not nearly as bad as it is now, before the FB group took off, I definitely remember drama on TB...and it centered around A as usual...especially during UO's and FFFC's...it was quite frustrating.

    Yes. Your moderator needs to grow up. She knowingly gave money to a twice-convicted sex offender that SHE collected. She knew his status and did not tell those of us donating. She has let certain people get away with flagrant violations, including creating new accounts after having been banned from TB. She doesn't call attention to what she did because it is so heinous she wants everyone to forget.

    tell me more about this troll. links are not discouraged. i'm new to this group and want to make sure i know everyone who is to be avoided, or is too dram-tastic to be ignored.
