I'm into it. @KilgraveMadeMeDoIt I'm so sorry. What youre dealing with is so intense. I can relate, not as a mother, but as a sibling and through my work. It's not easy. You're doing a great job just doing your best.
Did they mention something in this thread about almost being banned or the bump not banning them after multiple strikes? Maybe the bump gods heard that and investigated more thoroughly. I'm not into censorship so I don't think the quality or content of ones posts should be evaluated to determine a violation. However, I certainly think supposed TOU violations need to be viewed in context. Because their posts did not, in my view, appear to be violations.
Should we wait for a certain amount of love tits as votes for the group before we make one? Or... just go for it?
Also we can swear with no repercussions in private groups and it's glorious.
Let's just do it. We can continue to invite regulars if we miss anyone right at first, right? Do you know how? Moses, lead us to the promised land, where I can cuss freely.
Who wants to do a private November 16 group? On The Bump - not Facebook. Private groups are unmonitored by BGs.
I love this idea! But just as a heads up, when I was lurking another board I saw that some people did get banned for things they said in private groups. Private groups are technically still monitored I think, or at least that's what the general group consensus was there. That being said, I don't understand the rules of warnings/bans/monitoring/etc. so I could be totally wrong.
@KilgraveMadeMeDoIt Sending positive vibes your way that they can figure out why this is happening. Your son sounds so sweet and smart. It must be incredibly hard to see him having meltdowns and not being able to get through to him and help him. We're hear to listen and hopefully give you some support or at least some laughs.

Man! I go to work for a few hours and the ban hammer comes down! Wtf? At what point does this chick ruining our board start to violate TOU??????? She is making me feel very unwelcome!!!
We're going to lose even more people if this crap keeps up, because they'll just leave. Neither @GreenEyedUnicorn nor @FiancBever said anything remotely close to deserving a ban.
A private group may help, but I was lurking on July16 last night, and they were saying the private groups now appear to be monitored. And if you click on the Private Group Rules, it no longer exists, so I'm wondering if they're currently changing them to be monitored more. Just a warning that private groups may not be as private as they used to be...
This freakshow has now won. The exact reason why she didn't participate in her first BMB is exactly why people will not participate with the regulars gone. Everyone may as well participate in baby center if she continues posting incoherent babble. I just can't. This board has been a great resource for me (even as a lurker) since I will be a Ftm.

I hope that link takes you to the right place. LMK if it doesn't.
FYI - If you try to join and it tells you something about duplicate user name error, check your inbox for an invite. Apparently you cannot request to join if you've been sent an invite. Also I was unable to accept the invite unless I was on the desktop site.

Man, I had the best answer all typed out (on mobile, no less) as to why I want to join the private group and it was all, "your answer is 200 characters too long"
Someone just missed out on several sentences worth of gold that I had to delete. Your loss.

I put "you know why" because I didn't realize it mattered. We all know why though.
I have been busy at the work the last two days and TOTALLY missed all this drama. If the bump is going to ban everyone for literally nothing, there will be a mass exodus. Someone needs to pull the stick out of their asses. STAT.
I would call her Voldemort because she seems to be "she who shall not be named or else you get banned ", but even Voldemort was straight up about the fact that he was a crazy. She's more like Umbridge over here hitting the report button like

Oh shit can we not swear in this one??

I'd like to do a prisoner exchange- one of our unbanned members in particular, in exchange for all three of our banned members.
