If I could give this site "0" stars, I would - without a single ounce of doubt or hesitation.
Tonight, I Googled something that brought me to this site (first time there). I want to tell you that within the first 10 seconds of being on the site, I was SO bombarded with ads & pop-ups that I nearly exited immediately.
However, I decided to search for the "contact us" link first in order to email them about this.
From the time I went from the article I first landed on to the bottom of the page to find the "contact us" button, which could not have been more than 5 seconds, I was once again bombarded by ads & pop-ups (2 ads and 2 pop ups to be exact).
I don't know if they realize this, but keeping up with this type of practice with ads & pop-ups is going to make them lose THOUSANDS of potential customers. THOUSANDS.
No one in their right mind wants to be completely smacked in the face by FOUR ads/pop-ups within a 5 second time frame on ANY website out there - ANY!
They have completely and 100% lost the chance to keep me as a reader/customer. 100%.
I only filled out their contact form tonight because I wanted to let them know what my experience on their site was like so that they could *hopefully* do some thinking & change their strategy for ads & pop-ups for their poor readers & customers.
I seriously feel bad for them (their readers) that THIS is the experience they have every time they visit the site.
100% do not recommend this website.
If you want to read the trashy, $#*!ed thoughts of whoever lead paint chip snacker wrote these articles then go ahead nobody will stop you.
I was attempting to read about childhood mental illness and impatient experience. There were constant pop ups that I had to x out in order to be able to read the article. I'll never visit the site again.
I have never been to this website and now there are pop ups about the british royal colonizers. I don't care about them.
Also I am not a mom. Also what on earth does celebrity gossip have to do with being a mom?
Why are there pop ups to this ridiculous waste of time coming onto my computer?
Cafemom closed their community forums because they weren't making enough money so some members created momconfessions.net and moved over there
I don't know how I started getting these automatic pop ups, but EVERYTIME I log into the internet, I get a bottom right corner pup up. PLEASE STOP!!!!!
I asked Cafemom to deleter my account & while they did do as I asked, they also got pissy & blocked my IP from their website w/ no explanation. & like everyone said there are way too many bullies & mean girls. Probably, all teenagers trying to be grown-up.
Members actively stalk, harass, and insult members. Members will seek you out in real life by contacting family members and employers.
Admins, especially in confessions, will not enforce the rules, almost encouraging these "ladies" to act like they are in a zoo. Members will systematically harass and encourage members to commit suicide.
You want to meet the bottom of society and some sociopaths. You have found the right place
Admins play favorites and dont hold to TOS. I've been banned from mom confessions yet there are members KNOWN attacking and bashing other members who are still allowed.
My sister almost killed herself because of this site! I was there at the same time as she was. She never did anything wrong, just posted asking for advice and her life was pulled apart, scrutinized, and destroyed! I check it out every now and then to see if the admins have done anything about this, but shortly after creating an account, It was deleted! Yet it takes them days or weeks to do anything else?
This place is toxic. There should not be a need to 'pull up your panties' and 'have a thick skin' what normal, healthy person would say that you have to just accept bullying!? And just let it go!?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I thought I could get advice. No, it's full of the same bullies and trailer trash making 10s of 1000s of posts. No advice here!
I peek in at this site every once in a while and it's a shame that after a year it's still the same. I saw the post on how they went after one member and that member got removed and banned from the site. But the same members that went off on that person are still there and now they're are disrespecting and degrading new members. How do the CafeMom owners solve the problem? By putting a lock on the post, instead of banning the members who insult others. Smh. This site will never change.
My sister told me about this site and I've tried numerous times to sign up. Every time I tried to sign up 5 minutes later the site owners DELETED my screen name! I tried to log in with no success. I don't know what went on on this site but whatever it was for some reason I guess they do not want new members. I then signed up again to ask why I can't sign up for the site and 10 mins after I posted the question they blocked & deleted me.
Screw this site!
The people at Cafe Mom site found out about this site and are now posting positive reviews. Lol nice try. Like the other reviews says, it is nothing but bullies and people looking for drama. They wait for you to post something negative so they can feed off of it. They get a thrill at bringing people down to their level. The ones that say they do not like drama, they LOVE it! They bark at you and when you bark back they act innocent, report you and call you bat sh! T crazy. Then they continue laughing about it and stalking you months after. Believe the positive reviews all you want, it's only to lure you in. You will be laughed at, stalked and bullied.
I have been with Cafemom since almost the start and while I didn't read every last review here I will say that you have to have thick skin to survive CM. Often times there is JR High Mentality (as with some of the reviews what are we 12?) It's an Adult board we need to remember to put on our big girl panties sometimes. I enjoy the brutal honesty and the general mayhem that happens. I Don't know some of these reviews are just as childish and petty as the things they are whining about.
My posts were getting deleted when they did not violate any TOS yet they allow blatant attacking and bullying to go on and have no problems with that whatsoever.
I got taunted and inboxed all the time by 2 members on this site. I won't say what I talked about on this site but it back fired and I had two people in my inbox calling me sl*t, idiot, who®e saying Why don't you just jump off a bridge? No one will miss you! They harassed me daily and when I begged the owners to delete my post and my account it took the 3 days to do it! I got so fed up with the harassment I crouched down in my closet with a razor to my wrist. My sister walked in and talked me out off it. I'm glad she did. After that my sister had to get on the owners butt about deleting my account. My account is deleted but my post is still there forever. I advice anyone not to go to this site, the members will push you over the edge with their cyber bullying. Now I know how Amanda Todd, Megan Meier and others felt...
I have been on the site since 2006. Their are groups that bully and harass. But their are also a lot of groups that you can join that are helpful and nice to others. Its all about what kind of people you want to hang out with.
I love cafemom. Of course there are bullies and hateful $#*!es and profanity and drama. There's also a lot of love and kindness and support there, too. It's all entertaining, lol! You can't take things personally, it's just a website with a bunch of random women you'll probably never meet.
