It amazes me how much trouble was stirred up by 1 newbie on the forum.
Although I never had a problem with Vixen's sigs, I did have a BIG problem with her attitude.....and I'm not talking about her response to all those PM's she supposedly recieved - I'm talking about her strip bar coffee house thread.
First of all, for a newbie to create a thread that "challenges" an established member (not to mention Moderator) is just rude and in very poor taste. I felt that it was a slap in the face to Cloudy and that Vixen was trying to establish a "rep" at her expense.
Then, when people complained about content of her coffee house, she basically told them to f*** off. NOT the kind of attitude that will generate a lot of friends. When a member suggested her content wasn't suitable for some of the younger members, she said her thread wasn't designed for kids and they should stay out.
Then, she creates a poll that OPENLY challenges Cloudy's Cafe'. Again, this shows very poor etiquette.
When her threads get locked, she storms off - only to return a couple of weeks later and INSTANTLY start flaming people again!
While some people may have objected to her Coffee House, I SERIOUSLY doubt they PM'd her and called her the names she says she was called.
So she offers Tone's PM as "proof" of the abuse she has received.
EXCUSE ME! But did ANYBODY else notice that Tone's grasp of the English language (and it's slang) suddenly improved DRAMATICALLY in that PM??? If she could type English that good, then why doesn't she do it in her public posts?
I DO agree that if ANY members did PM her with those comments, they should be suspended themselves. That is NOT the way we treat newbies - or any other member for that matter - even extremely rude ones.
But I have to agree with Sazerac. It was obvious from Day 1 that Vixen's main goal was to cause trouble on the forum. She was given MORE than one chance, and she never even tried to change her behavior. She even went so far as to insult Ziroc personally!
I'm sorry, Dundee, but Vixen had more than her fair share of chances.
Whatever decision the Mods make, she will have nobody to blame but herself for what happened.
