#423015, "John & Kate Question? For Moderator?"

Can you be specific with us? Are we not allowed to post about them at all? It seems wierd that every news organization out there can make comments about this family. Good and bad. But, on a forum for multiples, we aren't allowed. I just want to know if this is a topic that we are not allowed to bring up period. Because if it is, that is really odd. Free country?

Every time I go out, everyone in the world asks me if I watch Jon and Kate or if I've heard about the lady with octuplets... The forum is here to help multiple birth families and to connect with others, I'd think the minute Jon and Kate decided to take the paycheck to put their lives on TV they opened their lives to public scrutiny. It certainly is an issue we, as parents of multiples, should feel comfortable to comment on, despite the moderator's personal beliefs as to what is appropriate to discuss on the forum.

I intend for this to be nonconfrontational and am just looking for an honest answer.

John and Kate are celebrities. They asked to be celebrities once they put their family on television. Why is it that we can comment on any other celebrity on this forum, but not them? Because the way they birthed their children? Because they were once members here? Who cares about that? They should be open for discussion, good or bad, because they are public personalities by their own choice. Right???? If this is not correct, please explain why.

Thank You!

I mean she's made tv appearences in the past 2 wks 3 times and that's just the ones I know of. Then she did a interview in People. Wow, for someone who is tired of the "public eye", she sure is doing everything she can to get in it.

Good question. I understand Jon used to post here. He hasn't done that for years. At this point, they are public people. When you invite the cameras in to your house 24/7 for several years you open yourself up to public comment and criticism. Like everyone else I get asked if we watch J&K+8 practically every time we leave the house. It seems quite silly we aren't allowed to discuss them on a multiples forum.

If you do not get an answer to this question, it is very safe to assume that comments regarding that show (that I am totally not talking about right now) are off limits. I am 99% sure I was banned for making such a comment. Another member confirmed that I was not a member earlier today. Other people were gone too. I know that I was not rude to any other member and that I didn’t violate any of the other written use policies, so it was either: a) referring to that show; or, b) referring to a deleted post (about that show).

I saw a post by another previously banned member, so I checked to see if I was un-banned. I was back; just like it never happened. Thank you to the person who un-banned me.

There are rules of tripletconnection. Those rules are written in the terms of use. Apparently, there are also unwritten rules, just like in non-computer-forum life. Some of the unwritten rules are intuitive (LIKE NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO READ) and some of them are not (like mentioning this particular TV show). When an unwritten rule is unintuitive, it is helpful to make that unwritten rule a written rule, so that people like me (an otherwise nice, rule following type of guy) don’t violate it.

I am still not sure if the scope of off limit comments are: a) any TV show; b) any reality or faux realty TV show; c) any reality or faux realty TV show about multiples; or d) only the one reality or faux realty TV show that I will never ever mention again for fear of being banished from the only site related to multiples that is not specifically for women. Until I get clarification, I will assume it is all TV and just hope I don’t get banned for speaking of other forms of media.

Your account was disabled? I am starting to fear what is considered acceptable and what isn't myself. Like I said before a board with nothing but bottle and yeast infection post will be boring. But it seems I might want to steer clear of anything multiples related so I better stick to strollers and making your own baby food. Sucks since my kids are 8 and I would like to discuss some more adult juicy topics. Anyone know where the adults are allowed to hang out?

I rarely post on TC anymore because of these insane unwritten rules. I absolutely love the people who belong to this forum, but am not a big fan of the mods. Never have been. Too many stupid rules that make absolutely no sense. Whoops...will I get banned now too? I forget that on this site we're not allowed to form our own opinions.

I am from Pensacola / Gulf Breeze. After UF for undergrad, I moved to Atlanta and then Birmingham. I settled down in B'ham. I miss the water and the heat strokes, but I found a nice Alabama girl who makes it all worth it.

Are you in Florida?

This is what I can gather:

There was a post about J&K. I didn’t read it. It could have been about how much Kate loves her Whirlpool appliances that she totally did not get for free and where we can purchase said appliances. It could have been about what an inspiration John and/or Kate are to all of us. It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help. We don’t know, because it is gone.

There was a second post asking if the original post was deleted. In that post, someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled. Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life. I posted on that second post stating that I thought the J&K “goings on” was helpful to parents of multiples because (maybe it is just me) everyone asks if we watch J&K Plus Eight when they discover we have multiples, and that talk of J&K helps divert attention from uncomfortable or annoying questions about ourselves. I believe this post was also pulled because it is gone – or I can’t find it. I didn’t see any posts after the one I made, so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved.

Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule), or if there was something offensive contained in those posts causing them to be pulled notwithstanding the subject matter of J&K. It took me a while to learn that a DH was not a designated hitter. Now I am all confused about whether or not I can discuss America’s favorite family of multiples, the Gosselins.

Hmmmmm, to me........it's helpful.
The way I see it it's entertainment for this SAHM who doesn't get out much.

I don't see the big deal in it honestly. (Serious to those thinking I'm being a smarta**) I mean it's in all the magazines, all over the web and even on CNN! Yep, it was on CNN the other night. Besides their not the only family I'd love to chat about. For instance Table for 12. I LOVE that family and I'm amazed with everything they do. Now would a post about them get pulled? Doubt it. Just because some of us on here doesn't agree with the Gosselins and how they've done stuff it shouldn't get banned. .
And anyways, posts about Octomom didn't get pulled and it was ALL negative.
Now explain that one to me.

In response to Reply # 8

I am sorry but I have to address this whole post-pulling issue on several levels...

Fisrt: "It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help."
~ HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! LMFAO! Do you think that b/c I find her hair so appauling that my opinion on it will get this post pulled? Time will tell...

Second: "someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled"
~ That was me, and while I didn't specify "bottles and yeast infections", those are excellent examples. I also mentioned that I am active at another forum (which may or may not be a crime, when you're affiliated with TC?) and enjoy the socialization and current event info I get over there b/c this one seems to be more about teaching/learning and gaining/giving advice than making friends and having opinions. All true, IMO. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just the way it is. So how can the truth be deleted???

Third: "Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life."
~ Whether or not it's nice to discuss J&K, they are in the public eye, and apparently Kate LOVES it, so they have to deal with the ramifications of being so. Period. I would think Kate loves people talking about her, seeing as how she's still such a fame tart. People talk about me and I am a loser in southern NH who hangs out at home all day and I don't give a rat's A. It is what it is; people talk, this is human nature, and again we come back to the anti-social nature of said forum.

Fourth: "so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved."
~ Is it either? Neither? Does it matter?!?!? Are we not allowed to discuss things not related to nipples and cloth diapers and birthday parties in a public outlet? Are these topics that are meant to be in PMs only? Seriously?!? Again, it would be biased, discriminatory, and completely anti-social to think any of us had to do so.

Lastly: "Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule)"
~ LMFAO

This is a good question. I guess they are deleting all negative comments. That's why nothing Feisty writes lasts longer than 12 hours before it gets deleted. I do understand why her posts get deleted. I mean, we all attack her like fresh meat. But IMO, she is asking for it. The stuff about J&K is rediculous. We should be able to write whatever, even if is negative. I understand that some people on here get nasty and therfore cause the post to get pulled. But, I think we are entering into dangerous territory and sensoring us doesn't seem the right approach. I do agree with the moderator who said that people who continue to be vicous will be banned from the site. If you look at the top post on the main board it talks about threads getting pulled. You should check it out.

I think the reason why some of the posts get pulled is because one of the moderators is friends with them. OOPS, will this get pulled now because a moderator is showing favoratism.

I read all the things on J&K but half the time I don't respond. Whatever they want to do is fine by me. If they get free vacations, appliances, etc GOOD FOR THEM!! I wish I could get a free vacation. Sign me up, what do I have to do?!??!


This is my edit: Wanted to add that one of the sightings of John out and about was in Huntington PA. For anyone who lives there (or doesn't), there is NOTHING there but Juniata College. I went there and there was NOTHING to do in the town. Any fun was had at Penn State, a short drive away.

Suzan, I'm so laughing about your take on Juniata College. They kept sending me stuff when I was in high school and I went on a campus visit. It DID seem boring to me. Guess where I ended up? Penn State. Lots more fun there.

5-11-09 Janet's Enough IS enough post

This post was spawned by a post by Feistylioness complaining about people picking on her about her bad parenting skills. She tends to post inflammatory controversial posts then plays victim when people get upset about here saying things like she hadn't ever met her sons Dr in person until that day and he had been his Dr for months and the poor boy has been in the hospital since he was born. You can read some of her pulled posts at the beginning of this blog. Many weren't saved.

Janet's pulled the responses but left her post and locked it. I did miss some of the responses but you get the idea of the community response.

Enough IS enough!

Henceforth, all negative comments to ANYONE or about anyone on our forum will be subject to removal as users on our forum. Let's all GROW UP now and quit hounding any poster. It seems that the same individuals work as a team, making our forum an unfriendly place.

If anyone sees unfriendly or inappropriate posts, please let me know immediately. Each one will be reviewed, and that poster will be permanently removed, and their IP address will banned.

This forum is for support, quality information and networking purposes. If any poster feels the need to criticize or belittle in any way another poster, they will be removed.

We have had people leave our forum because of the unfriendliness and bickering that goes on here. Just because one has been a long-time forum member will make no difference. Individuals who send poison messages spoil our forum for everyone!

No more warnings or just deleting of inappropriate posts. If you wish to utilize our forum, please do so with integrity. Otherwise, don't plan to have the opportunity to continue as a forum member.

THANK YOU!

I have been a memeber here since we found out we were expecting triplets.

This is the second time I have been slapped in the face by the owners of this site. Enough is enough for me.

There have been some things said that I feel are inapporiate, but to each their own, who am I to judge. That is for someone much higher then me or anyone else on this board.

But we are human after all and someone can only ask for advice and info and have every excuse in the book why they can't do the suggestions.

So do what ever you need to do Janet. But as for me leaving TC it is all on you, no one else.

I understand that being a moderator on this board can be difficult.

I also understand that "hounding" someone is not appropriate.

However, in the instant case (that is Feisty), she purposely comes on this board to spark outrage or cause issues only for others to get reprimanded? I think that perhaps if you have a little time, review feistylioness' contributions to this site and you will see the most will be negative or self-absorbed. Perhaps if you removed the root of the problem (ie feisty), things would be more civil around here, but that is just my opinion (as a contributing member).

Anyone can ignore or stay out of any forum topic. For far too long there have been individuals on this forum who feel free to be rude and negative. This will not continue. If there is an inappropriate forum topic, please let me know and I will review it.

No one has been slapped in the face by the owners of this site. I have asked all members to be polite on this site. It is absolutely up to each member whether or not they remain.

I just want to say thank you. I've joined another group & post there regularly because I have felt very attacked on this site. Thank you for taking the time to see that HOM families can be safe on your site. Maybe now I can spend more time here learning from others that have BTDT.

Thank you Janet. This makes me feel safer about posting. If people don't like another user its probably best to just not reply to threads posted by that user. Keeps the peace.

Thanks Janet. Now I can feel comfortable posting on this site. I have stopped for a while because of all the negative comments.

Janet,

I understand it can't be easy to run a site this active and with many diverse opinions.

That said, I wonder if you've had a chance to read all of the threads that the OP in question has started in the last two years, since most of them get pulled pretty quickly. This isn't just some innocent member who happens to get a sharp response - yes, that happens from time to time and is often dealt with properly.

I have yet to see this member take any advice seriously, or even respond to genuine offers of help. It is only the members who question her motives who get responses. That isn't being a contributing member of TC. Why not remove that member? I would hope someone would be brave enough to speak up for my child if I couldn't, and I certainly hope they wouldn't be removed for doing the right thing, even if it comes off as harsh.

Thank you for TC, but if standing up for that little boy means a few of us get kicked out, I guess that's the price that has to be paid. I refuse to stand by and let ANY mother come on here and make a mockery of this forum while her child waits for a visit, a hug, a trip HOME.

Sincerely,
Loren Varney

My son is not waiting for a hug or a visit he gets plenty of that from his family. As far as as trip home the vent training needs to be done in order to do so. The preparations for that is almost complete.

I am meeting with another agency tomorrow to see when they can provide nursing for my son. No matter what I post on here I get attacked. Its a little more than standing up for a little boy he our son we love. It seems as if I am not the only that gets attacked on here. How do you know I don't take advice seriously? I never saw the Feisty post because it was pulled by another member. My son doesn't need any of you to speal up for him. He has his parents that know him best.
