dear fellow July ladies, because of the banning of 8 of our members, some with 0 warnings and then banned. I am no longer comfortable posting on the main bmb. The admins have reached a point of a complete abuse of power and have completely ruined this forum for me. I bid you all happy and healthy rest of pregnancies but I can not support a forum where the people that maintain it don't let it thrive nor flourish. I'll be here lurking, until I assume this will be taken down and I will be banned.

I agree. It's out of hand. I have two warnings so I'll be lurking for quite awhile. Happy pregnancies to all of you. I'm a message away.

@MamaBish No kidding, 10 minutes?! I'm digging around trying to figure out what Noelietrex got banned for and now oaktree?

@nerdchild admins are breaking their own TOU about groups. It happened in "you can't sit with us"

I'm probably gone for saying that.

What's the fb group ?

What is a TOU violation?

nopegoat · May 2016

They are so worried about app ratings, maybe we should go vent our frustrations there. Seriously though?!!! Banning the people that actually stick around and contribute to these forums over practically nothing is ludicrous.

juliagulia38 · May 2016

The banning Is getting out of hand. They aren't suppose to be on the private boards. Wtf is going on?!

Hey bump admin what happened to this?

Way to to not follow your own rules!

MamaBish · May 2016

@BeachTigress the "Private Group Rules" page now 404s and doesn't exist...

blackgirlmagic · May 2016

@MamaBish I noticed that as well when I clicked on it. This ish is out of control!! Talk about using your power for bad.

nopegoat · May 2016

I have been on this site since I was pregnant with my first 6yrs ago. I still talk to a lot of those ladies daily along with the groups of ladies from the rest of boys BMBs. I just had a play date today with one of them from my last BMB. They have gotten me through some extremely tough times and have been some of the most supportive women I have ever met. Because of all the changes and the need to bend over backwards to provide a welcoming environment to those that post and run and don't care about this site or its members, that kind of support and comradery is dwindling. Good job TB. You are quickly becoming a joke like the other pregnancy forums.

I wish I could double love this.

PinkLady2015 · May 2016

This makes me so sad.... Such a wealth of knowledge, information, experience and entertainment that was completely wiped clean.... Ladies that have been here since the very first thread was posted in October and this is what it's come to? Such a shame.... I still plan on being here because I still think there is value in not being forced into abandoning this entire place and because I still want to offer support to my fellow July mama's.... though it may be in limited capacity. Just a sad situation all around.

elenabrent · May 2016

I agree with @PinkLady2015, it is ultimately really just a bummer. Having you guys has made the past 7 months a lot easier, and I really value the things I've learned and the friends I've made. It's a shame TB is wrecklessly dismantling a supportive group of mothers over... what exactly is unclear. Unfortunately I don't trust that any of this is going to survive the weekend.

SparkySunshine · May 2016

Shall we gif party in "remembrance" of all the bumpies we lost? Or will that be frowned upon by BGs.....?

jomama1618 · May 2016

Agreed with @PinkLady2015 and @elenabrent I have every intention of being around here for as long as possible. Though I am happy to be in the FB group, and hope you guys will join too, just to make sure we stay together and have the support we've had all these months.

Edit because I hit enter too early

This seriously blows. It takes me a long time to get comfortable with people and this group has really helped me during this crazy time. It's meant a lot to have the support and advice from other mommas out there who understand the struggle of snissing and reflux and the sometimes difficult task of connecting with non pregnant friends. I'll stick around for now, unless I get banned too, but I joined the FB as well because I hope we can continue to give and receive support and snarky gifs but maybe without the oppressive regime trying to tear us down.

Wah-wah.
