Thanks 😍, even though I actually dealt with some identity theft. 😳 So, let's just go with feralpilot6. It's pretty close to Vanna. At least the spelling stays the same. I reached out to rustydrifter10 with a bunch of different ideas, but I finally settled on this one... though clearly, rustydrifter10 is too busy today to check in outside of VL. Anyway, I'm just hanging in there. They say good things come to those who wait.
Could someone please change my username to Water? That’s what everyone calls me anyway. Well, almost everyone. There's already a Lily or something out there, and I don't want any confusion... honestly, I don't have any clones running around, so I figured I've earned this little name change. I'm not Lily or anything like that; the whole vibe just reminds me of water lilies, flowing water, and deep purple hues... so yeah... 🙂
After a bit of deliberation 😁, since changing a handle isn't exactly a small thing—even if it feels somewhat indirect—you can reach out to Nica PM. Edit: It looks like Water is already taken, so maybe contact Nica PM with a similar suggestion.
Look, I’ve already said my piece. Posting your breasts or posting your email is entirely up to the users here, especially when that email address includes your username anyway. If I were to post an address belonging to vodenablablatočka, would that even count as my own address?
Besides, none of these contests should even be considered legitimate, except maybe the ones with official paperwork—and even then, you could easily fake those.
Is there actually a penalty for violating privacy (for the moderator)? How would that even work?
A phone number is a completely different story. At least in my book. But any moderator who sees my name in an email can find my number without breaking a sweat (assuming it's actually registered to me, and let's ignore the fact that at least twenty other people share this name).
Some of us use a single email address for everything (like me), and obviously, I used that same one to sign up for this forum. Naturally, my full legal name is attached to it. And of course, any of you creeps can see it. So when a moderator reaches out via PM and addresses me as an actual person using my real name, what’s the deal? Who is actually protecting my privacy then? 🤷 There is a massive difference between voluntarily posting a photo or an email address and the other, shady stuff you guys have agreed to. If I decide to post pictures of my tits on this forum, that's my choice. Right?
How many times did she use her comments to talk down to people? And how often was she dropping links to her own blog? Honestly, at this point, she should probably be paying for advertising space. Not to mention how they used to tear her apart over the little things on the food forums—all those tiny details about chocolate or some fancy cookbook.🙄 Normally, if you posted a massive photo on the off-topic boards, you’d get slapped with a warning card immediately. It was always handled properly there. But apparently, rules don't apply when it comes to her on the foodie threads. You really see someone's true colors when things get messy. Of course, she eventually smoothed everything over. Actually, all of this—and then some—was debated extensively in that one legendary thread. I can't remember the exact title, but it had something to do with foodies being total snobs.🤔 Something along the lines of "High-End Gourmet Culture." I won't even get started on the criticism she faced regarding that egg cake. Or the pancakes and muffins. Look, it's not like I particularly like her, but that has nothing to do with culinary standards or having to tolerate her condescending lectures.
Just my two cents.
According to the "polite" lady—and this is her favorite way to address me: calling me muck, sludge, a swamp, filth, and the absolute trash of this forum.
I actually mentioned this in my recent complaints... I'm talking about the general attitude on VZ5 regarding girls and their little "boutique" hobbies, and just how incredibly pretentious some people can be—though I’m definitely not talking about you.
Honestly, I haven't brought them up in ages. Since last year, using the "O" word is strictly against the rules here. Same goes for posting pictures.🤷
If that one thread hadn't popped up today—the one where they're dragging my name through the mud again—this whole discussion wouldn't even be happening.
And just to be clear, I’m not asking for anyone to get banned on my command. If you really want to know, I just think we shouldn't tolerate those toxic comments about dietary choices, discrimination, or those inflammatory opening posts that just exist to start fights. That's basically why the old Foodie Heaven threads were shut down in the first place.
Why are you bringing up the Trash Forum here? Was I even the first one to mention it? Honestly, you've got it all mixed up. We're talking about a thread we just happened to stumble upon—which was being quoted on the Trash Forum today—not about those photos. You're clearly out of the loop; those were deleted. And why even bring it up if it has nothing to do with anyone's private info? It wasn't about the pictures anyway; I've already forgotten them, or rather, I've pushed them out of my mind. Besides, when was the last time I actually brought up the photos? Was it last month? The month before? I don't think so. So why do you keep insisting that I do this "constantly"? Why dig up stories from way back when?
After that, I reported several more posts for being discriminatory, including that one that started the whole argument in Gastronomy Thread #1, but I haven't seen anyone actually get banned for it. Was there no trolling going on there? Or spamming?
As for this "elite" stuff, you can find all of that in Gastronomy Thread #2—it’s pretty obvious who thinks they belong to the upper crust. And regarding professionalism, I read about that on the V5 off-topic chat. Regarding where I supposedly provoked an argument... please, really? Maybe in my opening post?
Did I even post pictures in the Trash Forum? 🤷
If you're curious, my bank account balance is basically zero. Anything else? You already know my full name, just like any other moderator who has access to my email address.
Look, stop with the nonsense. Stop bothering me with all these shady backroom games and shady tactics. I have much more important things to do than waste my energy dealing with your constant complaints, especially while you're busy copy-pasting your "triumphs" over to Reddit and Trash Forum to mock them with your friends. Just do something productive for once, please.
Aaron Harris2, quit the flattery. I wasn't the one who posted you on the trash board, so I don't get why you insisted on having it deleted unless you're trying to hide something. At least I've always been transparent, unlike your little schemes. And you're still being insulting—I see some habits just never die.
Jose White18, sorry, I didn't mean to drag you into this. Everything I wanted to say was in that deleted section of that invisible thread, plus in the reports from a few days ago and over in the food discussion thread. And yeah, of course I filed reports. It’s funny how the elites get a free pass and never get banned, even when they clearly deserve it based on how they act, yet I'm the one getting flagged just because I used the word "professional" with a smiley face next to it. I won't drone on about it; everything is right there if you actually bother to read. It's pretty obvious we're a thorn in someone's side—hopefully not everywhere else... but again, that doesn't involve you.
After we all got a look at that transparent moderator corner, here was my response:
waterlily says: Check this post
I have nothing to say, thanks Aaron Harris2, I just received written confirmation of your bias against me, and Frank too. If you have any shred of integrity left, you’ll step down from moderating the Foodies section because you clearly don't deserve it with these backroom games.
Was it even worth it? That's what I'm asking, because not one single person from your circle has received a single warning despite their posts being totally out of line. I knew that was the reason, but now I actually have proof. Honestly, I wouldn't even be posting here if you hadn't called me out. I'm glad everyone gets to see this. Including this hunt Aaron Harris2 is going on for "witches." We really didn't deserve that; we each got flagged, unlike your little clique with vz5 who didn't even get a slap on the wrist for their discrimination, elitism, and insults. I got flagged just for using the word "professional" alongside a smiley face.
It was obvious this was an error, and everything is hidden now, but someone definitely took a screenshot. Meanwhile, the mod in the chat is still blocking anyone from commenting on it, expecting us to just settle for this post. And what is this supposed to represent? An apology? Definitely not.
I just want to address this post, this attempt to pull the wool over our eyes which makes zero sense after what we just read.
What you're saying isn't true. It's clear as day that this is tied to how you approve and steer the "What is Gastronomy to you?" thread—that initial accusatory post which, as it turns out, you approved yourself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting worked up, but don't underestimate me, try to blackmail me, or insult me.
Aaron Harris2 says:
Total nonsense...
Send me and jadesailor14 a DM with an email address (if that's not weird), so we can coordinate something via group chat when needed... jadesailor14 and I both use Gmail. Just so you know.
I'm going to go approve it! disclaimer:
The first post or email will deal with Francesca and the rest of the situation in the Foodies section (me, waterlily, & Co.)...
I’d really like to change my handle to feralpilot6. Honestly, pretty much everyone here calls me that anyway, and since I have zero connection to that other Lily person, there shouldn't be any confusion. It would basically just be a localized, shorthand version of my name. 🤷 I’ve gone through the rules, and while it isn't a huge deal over one or two letters, this would just be a simplified, more natural translation. Plus, about 90% of the people on this board already address me as "Vodenna." You can check the daily logs; I’m active there all the time. Thanks a ton!
I'm not sure. That's a bit of a significant shift. Just reach out to Tyndall and run it by him. If he gives the green light, then we're good to go.
