Complaint about Vogue moderation

Okay, so, certain moderator—wait, let me check her actual handle, hang on... Me in honey, I know she’s involved in something, but I wasn't quite sure what exactly... Anyway, this specific moderator over on the Vogue subforum basically expects everyone to constantly praise and worship the "🙏" regular users who are practically local legends there. If you even dare to offer a tiny bit of criticism, people lose their minds—it’s like instant hostility. Like, how dare you have an opinion? A few of my own critical posts actually got moved over to the chat section just because I was trying to explain my reasoning to some other users. It’s funny, though—whenever I reply to someone, my posts get moved, while the girls who replied to me stay right where they are, obviously.

I’m sorry, but I just can't get behind this. 😱



It’s giving major "college student look." 😲 I don't even know which college or what era we're talking about...

Or like, if a woman puts her shoes on the kitchen table where people clearly eat, I’ll mention it under the photo—and then, boom, immediate shoe-shaming. Because our dear moderator, that blogger who puts shoes on tables just for the aesthetic shot, spends all her time talking about cleaning the table. How? 😲 And now suddenly she’s the expert on table cleaning, but I’m not "relevant" just because I’m grossed out by footwear on dining surfaces.

Since this moderator-user is obsessively glued to Vogue 24/7, I can't even catch a break to let my post sit where I wrote it for even an hour or two. 😬 Honestly, you can't deny the sheer fanaticism she has for moderating and living her life on Vogue. But man, she is so incredibly biased and just totally intolerant of the idea that I might not like something. And even though she’s started moving posts instead of outright deleting them—I still don't really get it. 😕 Naturally, there's zero consistency in how these rules are applied.

Thanks for letting me vent my frustration and disapproval. I feel a little better now.

Sincerely yours... ☕

you’re actually hilarious. what is your deal? why do you have to put a smiley face under every single post 😍 😬

I'm honestly not entirely sure what transpired here—I don't follow fashion critics closely enough to know—but I can't imagine Vogue would ever penalize someone for something that was perfectly decent and appropriate. Typically, on forums of this nature, the rule is to sanction non-constructive criticism, wouldn't you agree 🥳
?
Furthermore, this blatant copy-paste and the subsequent commentary right here feels quite redundant and frankly insulting; I truly hope the moderators step in soon.
The lack of basic etiquette regarding the use of other people's photos is becoming genuinely concerning...

Unconstructive criticism? Not even close. I haven't insulted anyone—honestly, that’s just not my style. If I don't like something, I’ll say what I think and explain why. And as for this whole "handling other people's photos" accusation? Give me a break! It was a photo from a sub-forum on Vogue! There’s a whole section where users post pictures of their latest outfits, and everyone else usually just chimes in saying how amazing they look. It’s basically the standard script. Well, I shared a different opinion, and apparently, that made me a target for this moderator. Now she’s practically stalking me all over Vogue. 😍 So, please, don't go implying that I'm some secret agent collecting people's photos to distribute online. That's just ridiculous. Like, seriously: the woman herself posted that entire series of shots from the shoot on the forum (or so I'm hearing from the blogs now). Is accusing someone of things that aren't true considered a "lack of class" on your part, or is this just how you typically "handle" other people's posts? This implication that I'm spreading private photos is actually pretty offensive. So, what now?

The criteria for what gets deleted, what gets moved to Chat, and what gets totally ignored is just... weird. Maybe someone should do a little audit of the rules here...

Edit: Oops 😍
😬

That photo actually belongs to that forum member, and I highly doubt you even bothered to ask her if it was okay to repost it—let alone attach a comment like that.

To any reasonable person, that's more than enough...

Nancy Moore75 said:That photo actually belongs to that female forum member, and frankly, I find it hard to believe you even bothered to ask her permission before reposting it—let alone attaching a comment like that.

Even a reasonable person reaches their breaking point.

That image was posted on that forum member's own blog:
That blog is actually released under a Creative Commons license—specifically, Attribution-NoDerivs.Creative Commons BY-ND 2.5 LicenseSo, what does that actually imply?
You’re free to do whatever you want with it: share it, remix it, distribute it, or broadcast it to the masses.
Under the following conditions: Appointment, No processing.

So... Angela Jones87 She’s fine to post her photo like that, really. The only real issue is she missed a key requirement for being part of the non-profit organization—she didn't credit the photographer. It’s one of those basic rules you just have to follow.

If we're talking about Creative Commons, then sure, that’s technically correct, though you really ought to include the author's name—or at least a pseudonym...
The real issue here is that this is being posted on an unknown platform, where this specific photo and its accompanying comment truly don't belong. Especially if a comment like this wouldn't even fly over at Vogue, it certainly shouldn't be allowed here. ☕

Angela Jones87 said:Okay, so we have this certain moderator—let me check her exact handle, hang on... Kate King, I know she's involved in something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what... Anyway, this specific moderator over in the fashion subforum expects daily praise and worship for the "🙏" regular users who act like total legends there. If you dare to offer even a shred of criticism, they come at you like knives and start the drama immediately. Like, how dare you not love everything? A few of my critical posts have already been moved to the chat section just because I was trying to explain myself to other users. It’s funny how whenever I reply, my posts get moved, while the girls who replied to me stay right where they are, of course.

Look, I just can't get behind this. 😱



It’s giving major "college student" vibes. 😲 I don't even know which college or what generation...

Or like, if a woman puts her shoes on a kitchen dining table where people clearly eat, I’ll comment on it under the photo, and suddenly it's an instant blowout. Because our dear moderator—that blogger who puts shoes on tables just for the aesthetic shot—is constantly lecturing about cleaning the table. Give me a break. 😲 Now she's the expert when it comes to wiping down furniture, but I'm "not relevant" because I'm disgusted by footwear on the dining surface.

Since this moderator is obsessively glued to the fashion board 24/7, I can't even get a single post to stay where I wrote it for more than an hour or two. 😬 You seriously can't deny how fanatic she is about moderating, living, and breathing this fashion sub. But man, she is so biased and completely intolerant of anyone saying, "Hey, I don't like this." And even though she started moving posts, she isn't actually deleting them. I don't get it. 😕 Obviously, there is zero consistency in how these rules are applied.

Thanks for letting me vent my frustration and disapproval. I feel better now.

Sincerely yours... ☕

That was a while ago, but this definitely deserves a mention

:maskare:🙂

Honestly, plenty of others have complained in vain about the "sub-mods" of the fashion section, and trust me, nothing ever changes... 🙄

The photo was grabbed from this Reddit thread, not some random blog. 🤷 And Nancy Moore75, please, stop derailing the conversation. The whole point here is the inconsistent rules and the total attitude—not the picture itself. One day she lets certain talk slide, the next she’s deleting everything, then suddenly she moves the whole thing over to a different chat-topic, and we’re all back at square one. That’s the issue. It's just how she plays it. Sometimes she gives an explanation, sometimes she doesn't... I guess she just loves being the center of attention for her little circle. If you dare to say you don't like something, apparently you're just "trolling." Like, seriously? I can't even wrap my head around that logic. I should be allowed to say whether I like something or not, especially on a thread specifically designed for discussing what people do and don't like.

Anyway, it's easier for me this way—I mean, if I had started this whole thread, I would've at least tried to shine a light on her behavior.

Thanks.

😍

You specifically targeted this girl instead of addressing the moderator.
And honestly, it doesn't matter why you deleted the photo. You just stripped her of any credit and decided to come here and stir up trouble with that comment.

If you’re going to criticize the moderation, then actually provide an example of unfair treatment... don't just hijack the space on Reddit to vent about things that aren't even allowed over on Fashion.

🙄 ugh, you are seriously such a buzzkill, it’s actually wild. I already explained my whole reasoning for posting this photo—like, why it even matters in relation to being a moderator—and I even told you where I found it in the first place. Just... stop being so extra? Honestly, I’m done trying to argue with you. You can just keep talking to yourself if you want to be that annoying, but I'm officially over it. You won't be getting any more of my time.

😍

I feel like I’ve already said this more than once, but apparently, some people just need a little extra help grasping the point... 😁

As far as those moved or deleted posts go, it’s all about the chat topic. So, what did you guys pick up today?:

Hey, Angela Jones87 left this post over there:

Still stuck on that same thread.
I can't believe people still fall for this garbage. Seriously, how many times do we have to go over this? It’s like everyone just collectively decided to stop using their brains. I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day about this exact same nonsense, and he couldn't believe it either. People are just clueless. And don't even get me started on what Angela Jones87 is saying. Give me a break. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Honestly, some people should just stay off the internet if they're going to be this dense. It's exhausting. Total waste of time.

Hey said:I don't get why people even bother bringing this up. It's useless.Those shoes are legendary. But man, I feel for your guests if they're the ones stuck eating at your place. 😬 Shoes on the table?! Gross!! Man, I almost didn't even see that. 😱

It’s mostly just off-topic nonsense and trolling, but I left it over there anyway.
The girls on Reddit replied to that post like this:

Anything but Angel. said:And those shoes? They aren't even new. She's been wearing them for months and then just slams them right on the table. 🙄 And honestly? Nobody even bothers to wipe down or sanitize the table. You're basically inviting your guests to catch whatever bug is going around. 🙄 🙄 honestly, just gross. ☕

N/A said:Seriously? Like, you’re actually gonna leave your new kicks sitting right there on the table when guests walk in? Give me a break. What a joke.

What was Angela Jones87 replying to?

Hey said:Give me a break. What, are you some kind of regular guest at her place that you know exactly what her family does after she puts her shoes on the table? Or are you just projecting your own life onto us because you leave your footwear on the dining table at home? It’s pathetic. Like it matters if they’ve been worn once or fifty times. Total nonsense. Seriously, what kind of logic is that? If she put them on even once, that's enough. Disgusting. 🙄 She probably tried them on at the store. And I bet she’s got them at home too. Then she just slapped them right on the dining room table. Honestly, I'm dying to hear how you're planning to disinfect those coasters from the photo. 🙄 Give me a solution for that one too. :rolleyes:

It’s just terrifying to me that anyone would actually think this is okay. It’s seriously pathetic, if you ask me. 😱 And there are always those people who don't just find it gross, but actually encourage this kind of lifestyle (and these kinds of photos). 😬

But you gotta admit, this part is pretty : lol:

😂 Man...

The shots where shoes are on the floor or a rug make sense to me. Just like how I’d never dream of putting my stuff on the ground, even for a photo op. I’d leave it on a hanger or lay it out on the bed. But putting shoes on a table? I haven't seen that one yet, so I had to say something. :coffee:

Those three posts were pure off-topic, so I moved them over to the chat topic and would've left a notice on the "What did you buy today?" thread if I actually had.

A user replied to Angela Jones87's very first post on the
"What did you buy today?" chat topic
with this:Quote:The post was made in that thread as a direct response to Angela Jones87, so I figured the conversation was over.

ixiessays: hahahah😂 The shoes are brand new, straight out of the box, and spotless, while the desk gets wiped down multiple times a day. 😁

But Angela Jones87 just keeps trolling the thread with this post:

Angela Jones87 said:People who "wipe their desk several times a day" would never, ever put shoes on it. Not even on mats, which are way harder to keep clean than a desk. What, do you buy shoes without trying them on? Don't try to BS someone by claiming they're unworn. You just buy them blindly? And then when you get home, you go ahead and scuff them up before even trying them on.☕ Unbelievable. That's why I love Reddit. You see all kinds of weird ways people live their lives.😁

To which user raverica responds:

raverica said:you're being boring☕

A moderator deleted those two posts. (Honestly, I don't care which mod did it, I totally agree with the call).
If Angela Jones87 kept trolling this thread after we moved things around and deleted posts, she'd be getting a ban for it too.

As for her posting a photo of Sophia Green67 in a thread where she was complaining about me acting as a moderator🤔, I gotta admit, I had no clue what was going on. I was convinced Angela Jones87 hadn't even posted in the "Fashion Critique for Bold Users" thread, so I went looking for her posts there. She only left one single (1) post:

Angela Jones87
Ugh, tell me about it. I’m honestly floored that everyone is acting like this is amazing. Maybe it's just because she’s such a regular in this chat topic that people feel obligated to hype her up? As for the outfit—it’s all cheap, synthetic junk and glitter. It looks like something straight out of an early 80s disco. All that's missing is a cheesy microphone. 😛

The girl is gorgeous, young, fit—she could pull off anything, just NOT this. It’s giving such a tacky, old-school Eastern European vibe... seriously, please, no! 😁 And I am officially pleading with everyone: do NOT wear a faux fur coat! 🤷

Nobody moved, deleted, or banned that post, so I was sitting here wondering what on earth Angela Jones87 was even rambling about.

Then it clicked. She probably got salty because of my post where I told everyone to stick to commenting on what’s actually visible in the photos. Some people were busy dissecting outfits from Sophia Green67's blog instead of the actual thread, which isn't allowed and already caused a huge blowout. Specifically, users like Elektra and Angela Jones87 were talking about a faux fur coat mentioned on the blog, even though it wasn't even in the photo for this Fashion Critique thread. I was just using them as an example.

Kate King said:Look, can we please just comment on what the person is actually wearing in the photo? Because I definitely don't see Sophia wearing a faux fur coat with this outfit. Thanks.

I’m not about to sit here and dissect the opening post of this thread. There’s way too much nonsense packed in there already. Honestly, anyone bored enough to actually read through all of this can just 🤣 draw their own damn conclusions.

I still don't get why that photo has anything to do with me or how I moderate. That picture was never even posted on the fashion boards, and I have zero clue how Angela Jones87 supposedly dug it up from Reddit. I guess she just felt the need to weigh in, so she used her private messages to do it, just like Nancy Moore75 pointed out. 🤷

btw, I think these are some of the most mind-numbing posts I've ever had to write. 🥳

Shoutout to Angela Jones87—as far as I'm concerned, we're done here.🙂

Angela Jones87 said:the photo was actually taken from this Reddit thread, not from a blog. 🤷 and Nancy Moore75, please stop changing the subject. The real issue here is the inconsistent standards and the arrogant attitude, not the photo itself. One day certain talk is allowed, the next day it's deleted, then it gets moved over to a chat-topic, and then we're right back where we started. That's the point. It just seems like she does whatever she feels like. Sometimes she provides an explanation, and sometimes she doesn't. I suppose she only likes it when everyone agrees with her and her friends. Any kind of criticism is labeled as trolling. "cajka-style"!? I honestly can't even wrap my head around that. I believe I have the right to say whether I like something or not in a discussion specifically about what people like or dislike.

Anyway, I feel better having opened this thread to at least bring some attention to the person involved.

thanks.

😍

I didn't post the picture on the forum, I put it on my blog, so you don't really have the right to use it. I would kindly ask you to take it down, otherwise I will have to take matters into my own hands.☕

😱 Seriously, how much text are we talking about here? How many posts? And all these long explanations?! I mean, how much of this did you even make up? You’re taking your "job" here way too seriously—like, maybe a little *too* seriously, if you ask me. It’s actually kind of concerning. 😲 Honestly, I haven't seen anything quite like this on Reddit before. And look, I don't want to sound heartless, so I’ll just throw a few thoughts your way. Please, please don't try to tell me that there isn't any actual chatting happening on that (or any other) fashion chat topic. I mean, you were sure quick to move everything over to the actual chat-topic, not to mention all the deleting. I'm really not going to go on some obsessive hunt through old threads just to prove my point to you—I honestly don't have the time for it. There's just too much going on. Plus, the real issue is that it seems like it all depends on your mood... one minute you're deleting certain gossip, then you're moving a thread, then you're just leaving stuff alone. My only request: could you maybe, just maybe, be consistent? Just a little bit! Maybe get your head together and align what you're doing on the forum. It clearly feels like this site is a huge part of your life, so maybe bring a little more stability to it, thanks! As for the photos, I'll say it again: I'm not going to bow down and shower things with compliments when they're just... well, awful. Nowhere on this site does it say we're required to give compliments. If I don't like something, I'm gonna say it. And hey, feel free to delete stuff whenever you feel like it, while you still can.

The main point: focus + consistent rules for everyone. 👍

Best wishes from me too! I think I've said my piece.

😍

I’m also gonna ask the mods or whoever is running this thing to just strip the photo out of the posts since > already asked for it, and honestly, just lock the thread. Thanks.

Could you at least offer Sophia Green67 an apology for copying and posting her photos without asking first?
I honestly don't know what people are thinking these days... 🙄

Angela Jones87 said:Also, the point is that it all depends on the mood, or basically, you might delete one comment, move another, and leave one alone. Please, just get it together.

Maybe try reading for comprehension? Kate King already told you she wasn't the one who deleted anything—it was another moderator, which happened to be me. I guess it doesn't really matter right now whether one of your troll posts stayed put or got moved over to a Reddit chat topic, 😕

And since we're on the subject of "forum life," please, explain to me: why open an entire thread about literally one deleted post and three moved ones when there weren't even any strikes, public warnings, or PM alerts? What exactly makes you feel wronged? I'm just curious.
