I would like to remind everyone of a few things.
First of all, our TOS states very clearly:
"If you have had your ability to log in, post to the forums, or upload on/to the site rescinded, or had posts or images removed, or had your access to chat rooms blocked, you may contact Community Review. Any public discussion of actions against a user's account will be removed, and we will not discuss any action against a user's account with anyone but that individual himself or herself."
What does that mean? What it means is that any discussion on this board of any actions taken, will be removed. Additionally, the staff cannot and will not answer questions pertaining to actions either on or off this board. Please be fair to them and don't ask. There are federal privacy laws and they must follow them.
I have been following this situation and I can assure you that at no time did any staff member take sides or remove anything unnecessarily. Some were actually removed at my request. At no time was anyone asked to leave our boards and any attempt to say otherwise only reflects someone trying to make trouble. Stirring up trouble off of our boards and in mail lists and then trying to bring the mess to our house will not be tolerated.
Our hosts' job is to protect our members and to keep things pleasant. At no time have they taken sides or acted in any way to try to purge or censor the boards. Any attempt to say otherwise is just being done to cause trouble. How nice is that to talk about someone who can't defend themselves?
We have fun and pretend we are our kits talking but in reality, we all know there are adults behind the talk and as adults, we should be mature and act like adults. It just will not work to try to hurt others.
If anyone has a direct complaint regarding this matter, they can write communityreview@pethobbyist.com or if it involves a staff member, write me as the staff director. However, further discussion on this board or in the email services provided by this site will not be permitted.
It is the holiday season so let's not forget "peace on earth and goodwill toward man" and lets get back to letting our kits play.
