Hackney they didn't give any rhyme or reason to me, but I bet in your situation, it was one of those heart parties haters and they complained sent using tapatalk I had that no-buy thread in beauty talk for over 2 weeks! but the very minute I said that I was longer participating and if anyone wanted to play hide and seek to find me ... THEY MOVED THE THREAD! Then I emailed MOD and ask why and they stated that someone complained??!?! really no one complained for over 2 weeks and no sooner that i makde a post they moved! please??!??!?!?

I understand there are rules on forums and I don't disagree with what they did - they are trying to run a commercial website with specific intentions. Banishing off topic made it really hard to have fun there though, and I petitioned them to consider moving it back. What's interesting is that some people complained, so they moved it, but when numerous people asked to have it moved back, it would not be considered. I can see why a commercial site wants it just to he about makeup, but there has to be some personality there, some fun, or it's not enticing for people who have been there a year or so to keep going back. You see the same questions over and over, which is fine, people need help and when I saw stuff I could answer I did try. But it is not enticing to visit if that is all it is. This is an INCREDIBLE group of ladies, with diverse experiences and backgrounds, why shouldn't we get to know each other better too and have fun? The sad part is that many of the people who have been the most frustrated are the longest time members who have the most experience to contribute, and if it isn't a friendly place to be, they probably won't. Which impacts the newer members, unfortunately, as they will not have access to some incredible expertise. But hopefully that is what we will build here, a friendly and fun environment packed with lots of great information!

Yeah, I was going to say, I don't actually blame the BeautyTalk moderators for whatever's-been-happening (I admit I'm not completely knowledgable since I was fairly new to BT to begin with). They get a paycheck for running the forums how Corporate instructs them to. They probably have frequent meetings around their cubicles about how they should handle a new issue that's come up, and how they should balance fun chatter and heart parties with makeup-centric talk. They're running a forum for a business's interests, and their personal feelings, whether they agree with what is going down or whether they don't, do not have a place with how they have to behave and what kind of face they must put on at BT.
I still do some shopping at Sephora, I have always split my spending between department stores and Sephora, anyway. I really love my Nordstrom so much that I oven prefer to go there.

I don't blame the mods either, as I know they were just trying to do their jobs by keeping order. There were alot of negative, troublemakers on that board, regardless of heart parties.

They started banning over heart parties?!?!?! Is that an f-ing joke? I mean there are plenty of good reasons for us to migrate our chats to a new forum, but I didn't know that was one of the reasons. That is ridiculous. Heart parties are so harmless! I didn't care for them, but I also don't care for a lot of things on my Youtube news feed.. that's what my arrows and mouse are for-- to scroll on past them. Geepers.

I think the MODs could have done a better job handling the "haters" instead of banning top contributors that genuinely have positive fun on BT. What a bunch of nincompoops

Planty got banned for repeat posts about questioning where the parties went and apparently getting sassy with a mod. Idk. It wasn't just for throwing heart parties. Wanted to clarify that.

Then I emailed MOD and ask why and they stated that someone complained??!?! really no one complained for over 2 weeks and no sooner that i makde a post they moved! please??!??!?!? Ohh, I had no idea they moved the no-buy thread. But we followed you here since you created such a supportive group over there!! I'm still pretty new to BT and am still using it, but I see that changing real fast. Last night, I logged on and couldn't believe all the drama and cattiness that was happening. Whenever I post something, I try really hard not to make it sound rude or offensive because I don't know who I'm talking to, the kind of day they're having, what life situations they have going on, etc. People shouldn't attack each other on their internet. There's enough frustration in the real world. If you're posting on a forum, it should be for fun and you should try to create/maintain a positive environment. Plus, communication on the internet is never complete. You don't hear the person's tone of voice or see their body language, so words should be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blow them out of proportion. *throws in two cents I'm so glad I got invited here! Everyone seems so warm and friendly. I'm still figuring out how to navigate, but I'm excited!!

It feels like home !
