I'm probably leaving

Or maybe only popping by to say hello now. Since the "upgrade", I've had messages removed as offensive, as spam and now they're threatening to stop my whole account. I don't seem to be able to get onto a log in page to change back to being TheCatWoman, so I feel as though I'm being punished. I've been told that one of my posts was flagged as offensive by someone and has been removed and another is under appeal, I've no idea what was offensive or against site rules in the post that has been removed, it was a fairly bland political post neither for or against anyone in particular.

Are we expected now to say nothing that could cause any possible offence to anybody?

Are we no longer allowed to express an opinion?

Who decides what is flagged? Is it one negative tick from one poster who may not like us?

Will we only be able to send vague and bland questions and thoughts in case "somebody" finds them offensive?

Well actually I find that notion offensive, the idea that there can be a chat board for a specific group of people, only we're not allowed to actually say anything that may help us make connections is absurd. I'm not a free speach warrior, but this does feel like normal converations are under attack, what's worse is whilst one may appeal there's no reasons or guidance given as to what the offensive content was. I'm left asking myself who or what flagged my post up as abusive and who or what decided to remove it? Was it human or was it an algorhythm? With no guidance as to how to avoid this alleged abuse, I'm left feeling hurt, confused, unrepresented and very angry, this is suposed to be a supportive place, not one that censors us when we're already a group that suffers from not knowing social rules and have problems communicating to others.

This site feels very dystopian right now

  • I couldn't log in with my original details, and then I received this message:

    A few days ago we emailed you about your user account. That message was to let you know about an issue with your account: The user was identified as abusive by community members.

    You have until  to send us an appeal using this form. Note that if you don't appeal this issue, your account will be permanently deleted on .

    I have no idea what message was 'abusive'. It is rather upsetting and unnecessary if this is all due to the upgrade.

  • I'd tried to reply to you and post was to be approved. Once Facebook did an update and went wrong. 

  • I know the feeling. First I couldn’t log in because I hadn’t received a password change link and second was that my post was flagged/reported when I had only just posted. They accepted the post in the end but then I went to edit the post and remove something before reposting and it was flagged again *sighs*. I prefer the old website, I’ve made a new post putting as little information as I can and that posted fine. It looks like we can’t post personal things anymore which is hard when we need advice for these things, and that’s why we post on here for help.

  • Oh crikey things are going so wrong on here now. What are they doing.. Yes as Spikey M said please don't leave your posts are always interesting. 

  • I don't think there is another site, unless it's on faceache or somethng that i don't use.

    But I'm very disapointed with the changes so far, I would of thought that there would be fewer bugs for a start, to me it seems inconcievable that something so buggy could be allowed out untested. If I were NAS I'd be asking for my money back from whoever created this new set-up.

    The site feels eviserated with few of the previous memebers posting and new posts being held up, if I had just joined the site and found all these problems I wouldn't be back.

  • Please hang on in there. Even if you just wait until these problems are sorted. It looks personal, but it isn't personal. It's the pesky 'pooters.

    I and others would miss you if you left.

  • That happened to me as well and I made a complaint about it and they sorted it out. 

  • Ive had the same issue dont worry. Yesterday i made an account and made my biography. It got marked as spam even though i hadnt posted it anywhere. The auto detection is probably on a rampage. Is there anouther site or something to use

  • I'm replying to myself as this was a thread that was marked as abuse and spam.

    From what the post from the moderators said we have an overmighty algorythum that believes its a member and can be offended.
