luvmykids replied:
I'm not sure, I think the title was "Sad News" or something but didn't have a chance to look at it right then and now it's gone ...

kit_kats_mom replied: I suspect thats what it means. I think crazymum is gone

C&K*s Mommie replied: sad.gif sad.gif oh dear. sad.gif sad.gif

luvmykids replied:
I figured, it just suprised me, I didn't see that one coming. blush.gif

MyLuvBugs replied: I think I missed it, and now I'm confused. I know O was sick, but if she posted something about her then why would it be removed? huh.gif

kit_kats_mom replied:
Not to step on any mods toes or anything but in the past, the account is removed due to a violation of TOS.

My suspicion is that the pictures were not hers and the story was most likely not hers either.

MyLuvBugs replied:
Wow! Yeah I totally didn't see that coming. Man, the more of these we have on here, the more I feel betrayed and distrust. unsure.gif

My2Beauties replied: yes crazymum was banned for violating the TOS. I don't know how much detail I can get into until I talk to the other mods, but she just wasn't who she said she was wink.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: thanks LeaAnn & Cary for the clarifications.

TLCDad replied: Yes she was banned due to copyright violation to say the least.

Unfortuantly there are internet users out there like this on the net. They just do not come to or only affect Parenting Club. We just tend to catch them faster and take violations like this VERY serious.

I bet if these people knew how much websites keep in their logs, including the name and information of their ISP, they probably would think twice about doing this.

jacobsmama replied: wow that is just terrible! sad.gif

Our Lil' Family replied: I was suspicious! I'm glad our mods are so on top of things!!

jacobsmama replied:
dito! wink.gif

Double ditto.

That's so bad because of late I just don't know what is try/ real when it comes to some people here anymore. You want to believe these people but I guess you can't. Glad for the trustworthy ones that we do have here. hug.gif

ashtonsmama replied:
AMEN! Thank you Rod and the rest of the mods...I was waiting for her to disappear...

How sad that people feel they have to do that.

luvbug00 replied: wow .. my PM from her is gone. Now i'm really ticked because she played up the premi thing pretty hard with me. NOT FUNNY growl.gif

ashtonsmama replied:
AMEN.

I always try to be so welcoming and nice...she was on here for awhile so I thought she was legit...but nope. I've had that same thing happen WAY too many times to mention.

moped replied: ANGER..................makes me very angry. The mods are great and I want to thank you guys!!!!!

AlexsPajamaMama replied: Some of the stories these people come up with and claim as their own just makes me sick when I find out they are Fakers!
Im always a little leary of newbies

AlexsPajamaMama replied:
Thats the part that got me too

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
I did... I had a feeling. wink.gif

Bee_Kay replied: I was a bit suspicious also.

ashtonsmama replied:
I'm glad it wasn't just me...those types of drama type stories always make me suspicious...

Bee_Kay replied: Wasn't she claiming to be only like 20 weeks pregnant? and then her bf or someone said she had the baby??

ashtonsmama replied:
I think so Barb..

Bee_Kay replied: Thanks, I thought so, but wasn't positive.

After his post is when I became really suspicious.

ashtonsmama replied:
dry.gif
Yep-me too. It's always a big red flag for me when the boyfriend/friend/husband/whatever gets on "for them" and posts about the new baby, etc.
I've seen that a couple times, both were fakers.

siblingtooolivia replied: OK, I am pretty new here and I guess now I feel pretty naive...you mean people would actually make up stories like that?????? And you mean she didn't have a daughter born premature, etc. etc. That's just sick, don't people know about fate or what comes around goes around, god forbid someday she actually does have a child born premie and actually go through something like that, that is just a slap in the face to people who truly go through something like that.....

I am disgusted, but am glad to know the mods are so good...guess I need to go back and read the rules, etc. better so I have a better handle on how things work here.... mad.gif

kit_kats_mom replied:
Yes some people do make up stories. Some steal other peoples pictures. Most are probably just some board person seeking to rile up a bunch of mellow mammas. No real harm that I can see but it can get wierd. They are on every message board I've ever been on. I have no idea what posesses those folks but our mods are great.

As long as you are who you say you are, you don't steal other peoples pictures and claim them as your own and you don't flame the other members, you are fine. The mods will generally let you know if you step out of bounds before theyjust boot you off....unless you are proven to be fake.

One way to prove you are who you say you are is to post a picture of yourself, with your kids holding a sign saying parentingclub.com siblingtoolivia and the date. There is a pinned topic somewhere with that thread.

CantWait replied: Although suspicious, you try and give the benefit of the doubt. It's sad to say the least sad.gif

ashtonsmama replied:
dito.gif to what Cary said.

I've been on 2 boards while pregnant with my son, and both had a high rate of these people faking stories, stealing pictures, etc. I just tried to ignore them and be welcoming to the people I thought were real, you can usually tell who's real and who's not, KWIM?

But I was booted off of one site that I had just registered on because someone hacked into my account and started posting as me, and stealing my pictures as well...so I've been directly affected by the whole faking thing many times, and it's very frustrating.

I'm looking forward to getting a new camera so I can post the picture with the sign, like Cary suggested. There's a pinned thread at the top of this forum...just FYI.

Sorry that was so long.
