Considering

amipregnant is now being moderated by people with absolutely no clue about how to answer questions correctly, could the user info for sextips be changed to reflect this and direct people to

am_i_pregnant instead?

Thanks!

	I've heard there was a turnover in moderation at the old group and some controversy. What's the story? I'm just idly curious, so feel free to ignore me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Lots of drama :-) But at least I know where to go for the good information if I ever needed it (and belive me, if I ever needed it, its going to be a long shot holy day :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	techieguru is a mod for both, I'm sure you'll get an explanation either way. (Reply to this)

	This is currently being debated with the mods. If you have an opinion either way, feel free to voice it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Obviously, I just did voice my opinion :) One community gives horrible, non-helpful answers. The new community doesn't. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Citing examples? Just curious, as the answers haven't seemed to change much. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	If you go to the Community info page (linked from sextips as "community rules," you can click on "leave the community" at the top of the page. Moderators are not the ones who take you off the list. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'd personally appreciate it if you'd stay out of this. I maintain

am_i_pregnant, I've already brought this up with the moderators here and I dont feel its anyone's business but mine and theirs.

I have no interest in creating drama and that's all you've done here, thanks very much. All I'm trying to do is promote my community. I'm not interested in who said what to whom at this point.

I wish you'd delete this post altogether.

	Obviously, if people are getting poor answers after being directed to a community from this one, it is the business of anyone who cares about girls getting good information. I'm not trying to promote your community, or any community. I would just like sextips to refer confused people to a community that will give them accurate, timely and factual answers.

The point is that I was specifically asked not to bring this to st_discussion and while I didn't, someone did and it's creating drama - something I've personally been trying to avoid.

As I said, I've already been discussing it with the mods here. Your language is inflammatory, especially considering one of the moderators here is a moderator there. Nothing good is going to come of this post.

Reading both sides of the story, I feel the the original creator was in the wrong. She deleted the live journal/never kept it up, hardly posted in her own community, but what gets me is that she never notified anyone of anything, never replied to e-mails, it actually looks as if she went out to her way to avoid these people. I know the the mods are informed and caring, they go out of their way for people. Who would toss these people? I say you should like to

am_i_pregnant

	That's not a bit true. This is being spun like she was just totally gone for years, which she wasn't. I never had any trouble contacting her when she was a mod. She is the one who had the community forcibly taken from her by the other moderators. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	She was entirely participatory the entire time I was a mod there. Which is time the other mods are claiming she wasn't there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dindin 2005-10-27 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't said anything in this thread other than that I'm not trying to create more drama. This post was not approved by me, known by me, nor my idea in any way shape or form. As I said in a previous comment, all I'm trying to do is promote my community. I'd appreciate it if we could both keep the drama to a minimum. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	I've yet to see a promotion of your new community that doesn't include some insult, either to the previous community or to its founder or to its moderators. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Good luck with your community. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	dindin 2005-10-27 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Apparently. I've never said anything other than factual publicly. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Like this? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	dindin 2005-10-27 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	That's not a community promotion and it wasn't even my post. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	This will be my last point, because I have no desire to argue about this with you. In that post, which I acknowledge was not originally yours, you did say something untrue and insulting (for certain values of insulting...I'd personally find it funny to be accused of being a sock) wrt the community. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	dindin 2005-10-27 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Fine. You can consider testarossa and I even then, since a) you weren't listed on the date that was written as i'm sure you can figure out, and b) she's posted things publicly in her journal which I consider to be insulting and untrue though I've said nothing publicly about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, trust me, she and I have been having conversations as well. Just not publicly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dindin 2005-10-27 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	It would be especially difficult considering I have a ready-made promotion I've been using that doesn't say a single thing about the old community or the moderators. If asked I've said that the old creator came back and we created a new community. If you're referring to what other people have said, I can't control that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dindin 2005-10-27 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	While I appreciate the sentiment, since you weren't personally involved and I don't know you, I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of this. Its only creating more drama and more hostility. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	quaker_whore 2005-10-27 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	I hadn't realized that only people you personally know were allowed to have and share an opinion on this matter. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	dindin 2005-10-27 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	This is my point, exactly. I don't know you and you apparently have a penchant for hositility and drama, which I'm trying to avoid. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	quaker_whore 2005-10-27 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	Obviously our goals are at odds then, since what I want is for people to be able to get valid answers to their concerns. And, for what it's worth, at the time I posted here, I was not aware that a mod from sextips had been added to the mod staff of amipregnant. Hopefully TG will remove some of the cluelessness that abounded. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	quaker_whore 2005-10-28 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Cute. You banned me from a community that has nothing to do with this post just because you don't want people discussing issues that piss you off? Lovely. Didn't realize you owned the internet. (Reply to this) (Parent)

While it is true that I *don't* know everything that went on, I do know is that the people who took the time to carefully reply to everyone have been kicked out. The people there now don't seem to go through all the trouble as you guys did. If I need to know if I am pregnant I want those in your community to help me out. This may seem trivial to people, but I take my sexual health seriously. They asked for our opinions and I gave mine. I will however say no more.
Thank you for creating an honest and caring community

	Fair enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I have more than a clue, thanks. So, no. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Just to clarify, because someone left a comment saying you were only an AIP mod (which got deleted but still made its way into my inbox): You're a mod for both communities, as per the info of both communities, correct?

In which case you're one of the most able mods I've come across in any community which makes me think AIP is just as good as Sextips in terms of moderation.

	techieguru 2005-10-27 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	I am a mod for both sextips and amipregnant. I have nothing to do with am_i_pregnant. I know some extra facts of the whole drama that are apparently being left out, but at this point, it doesn't much matter. Thanks for the compliment, however. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	quaker_whore 2005-10-27 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure you'll help reduce the recent cluelessness, then :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	techieguru 2005-10-27 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. I will do what I can. testarossa knew when she asked me to mod that I am not around much (I started law school this semester), but I make an effort to get to the community every few days, if not daily. (Reply to this) (Parent)
