Did it somehow "inhibit your enjoyment of the site"? Or however they worded it? I mean for real! I've been pretty patient and un-snarky but this takes the cake, Bump.
Probably because it violates some stupid TOU about not posting personal blogs or some shit. Serious question: does The Bump consider shit a curse word under the new TOU?

Wow - I wonder what they have in mind. That makes me uneasy.
And if any of you want to share this info with another board that would be great. cause if I share it too many times I'm gonna get banned and I'm not quite ready for that just yet.
I think you are doing a great job so far, AmyG! Thank you for pointing this out!
@maasybaby Can we add this info to the birth announcement post? I feel like people should be aware of this before they decide if they want to post pics of their newborn.

I think I'm leaning this way at this point. I was fine with them trying to change the tone of the boards - I felt like they own the boards, so if they want to tweak them, well who am I to say differently. I was less than okay with the way they were banning people without warning, and really disliked how they treated the hardworking mods. But to say that everything I post here *belongs* to them? Sorry, no. I may lurk and post occasional advice, but my days of posting *anything* at all remotely personal are done.

I've just added a sentence to the original post and a link to the TOU. I didn't add the exerpt itself (yet) because I'm afraid big brother will use it as an excuse to delete the thread... I don't really trust them not to at the moment! Is the edit clear/informative enough?

It looks good! I think it would be really shitty of them to delete the thread for refering to the TOU, but at this point I wouldn't put anything past them...
It's just creepy. I'm sorry, but just because I use this site, doesn't give you the right to use photos of my minor child for your own purposes without my permission. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think Facebook does that. And regardless of it's in the TOU, I can foresee someone suing if they were to use that person's pictures without permission.
It says this was posted in November. I don't recall seeing this the last few times I lurked there.
@Xoxolicia I've seen it. It's been up a month at the most. I also think it's total horse crap. Half the stuff they "don't control or do" is what they're doing! Edit:words
I thought you wanted your members to familiarize themselves with the TOU to know what to do and what not to do on this site, but when @AmyG* points out what it actually says she gets a warning? That's a total double standard, not to mention shitty as hell. Stop playing the deletion game and come out with an explanation to ALL your members about this. We deserve to know.
This is getting ridiculus.
Are we not allowed to discuss the TOU? @BumpTara@BumpCaitlin Wth?

They won't explain. They honestly don't care about the users of this site. If they did, they wouldn't have gone this far.

Yeah, you're right. I just felt like I had to try at least... I feel more like a fool everyday for thinking they would actually answer some of the questions about the bannings. Silly me.

@AmyG* say whaaaat. I didn't go completely over the new TOU. That's insane.
He Who Must Not Be Named is behind XO! I knew it!
And 10 points to Gryffindor for the Harry Potter reference.
OT: I had a dream this weekend that I got mad at my husbandman for getting drunk with Draco Malfoy.

I had enough problems with the new layout and trying to find the F15 board again. Now this is ridiculous.
