I think the bad apples are out in full force. For some reason Voys get quiet around this time of year until state pageants start up. Also with some new boards, folks are concerned about who the moderators are. I play nice so I don't care if a mod sees my IP address. (NT) no name 08:54:11 10/09/12 Tue

yes, I often wonder who is baiting whom just to get input and insider info, so I try to be civil also. It's a shame that there is such ugliness hiding behind anonymity. These boards can be so helpful and truly informative, that it's awful that we are all afraid to come and look any more. (NT) -- I know I've had my share of bashing, 02:34:02 10/10/12 Wed

I think it is a mix of overzealous moderators deleting posts and using their personal feeling to influence the boards(GURU), posters trying to ruin boards(Money Girl), and moderators refusing to helped people who have been libeled for fear of revealing who they are. Facebook is much safer because it is harder to hide. (NT) RS 17:09:57 10/10/12 Wed

great comment. I guess you are right. Sad that we can't be adults. (NT) -- another good idea turned to evil, 02:20:09 10/11/12 Thu

It seems to me boards began as a helpful way to get info. Click in... Just my experience 22:12:35 10/13/12 Sat

Lovely comment above. I am in complete agreement. I, too, compete often, and have been a victim of slander and nasty bashing. I don't know why, unless there is jealousy or some other agenda. I adore pageants, adore the friends I"ve made. click -- concerned, 03:05:10 10/14/12 Sun

That is why we started The True Blue Board. We are tired of the same moderators banning people with opposing views because they are invested or a part of certain systems. We are equally tired of false, unsubstantiated statements being made and left unchecked. Where else can we go to get USEfUL pageant information? We need a return of the times when you could get helpful info with out the filters, biased reactions, and without the foolishness. The mod of this board has it together!

Boy, you're really full of yourself, aren't you? (NT) -- no name, 21:28:26 11/27/12 Tue

Yes she is full of herself. The moderator of that board is a total B. Just go over there and read some of her bitchy posts. (NT) -- \^^^/, 09:18:14 12/01/12 Sat

so far it's been great. I hope there can be a board we can just "talk" in the open and not have ugliness or name names. I think it's great so far. (NT) -- a blue fan, 02:10:47 12/04/12 Tue

The Elite board is exactly that. The mod is not even in pageantry anymore. (NT) -- : ), 19:19:51 12/06/12 Thu

I'm removing multiple posts from the same IP address. I don't care what you say if you play nice, but no spamming and insulting. (NT) Moderator 16:10:30 12/06/12 Thu

So calling someone a B is not insulting and that's playing nice? The blue mod is fair and sticks to her rules. Applies them objectively. (NT) -- Have to appreciate that. Blue fan., 19:56:29 12/06/12 Thu

So, stay over on the Blue board since you're such a fan. Guess this board must be pretty awesome too, since you can't seem to stay away. (NT) -- Just sayin..., 16:29:39 12/07/12 Fri

Calm down. There's room for them all. Stating you are a fan if one is not a dig at another. gesh.I (NT) -- Relax, 13:46:37 12/08/12 Sat

I didn't say that it was a dig. There was more to her post than that she was a fan. (NT) -- Don't put words in my mouth. Geesh!!, 14:21:33 12/08/12 Sat

Okay. You win. (NT) -- Mountains out of mole hills..., 15:32:55 12/08/12 Sat

YOU are the one who made mountains of mole hills. (NT) -- Not me! (And yes, I did win!), 17:49:20 12/14/12 Fri
