  • Not Alone

8/30/21

I posted ONE contentious post and got given 10 'points' (?) AND a permanent ban for NO REASON WHATSOEVER (pic attached) other than 'trolling'. Luckily I have actual friends and family to go to for support and advice so I'm not alone myself, but between Loveshack.org, The Diversion Forum and enotalone.com (as dreadful as each other), I wonder where those who do need a kind, supportive, non judgemental ear go to online; especially those who feel a little 'different' and / or do not want to (or can't) conform to 'social norms'. Who on Earth will finally come up with the inclusive, warm, respectful and mutually accountable chat forum everyone wants? I'd do it if I had any technical / IT skills, except I don't. Does anyone know someone who can help me set a chat forum up? (No labels, no inane videos, no 'psychology' tips, no arbitrary mod, no pics, no weight shaming, no 'learning disabilities' shaming, no 'slut' shaming, no Alphamales, no infidelity or sex talks, no 'categories - just a few random ideas from the top of my head :) )
Thanks in advance! Advice from me: stay away from this one - not worth your time!

Tip for consumers:
Just don't do it.

Hi all!

I don't usually go out of my way to write negative reviews of inter-relationship advice fora online but I will make an exception for this one.

Absolutely dreadful.

The moderation is either AWOL or incapable of making quick, un-biased decisions (you can tell by the way everyone knows everyone else by name). The regulars are fine mostly - it's the constant, unchecked stream of newcomers who post dramatic one-off posts never to be seen again - I guess they know what to expect!

Anyway. I left off my own accord and have asked for all my posts / threads to be deleted and / or hidden (not entirely clear on the policy on this, tbh) - they agreed (unusual for them) so at least there is that going for them.

Tip for consumers:
Pro Bono 24/7 is not that great!

It's a non-profit?
