Just joined another vegan forum and bloody hell!! - Page 3 - The Saucy Vegan - Vegan Forums <p> We're not the biggest vegan forum, just the best!

ChenLi · 12-29-2009, 01:26 PM

I joined again to see what it was like now, banned after just under 100 posts for 'duplicate account'...

First they weren't willing to accept Palin is worse than Obama...then they had the nerve to tell others that people cannot say they converted people because it's "bragging", "egotistical" etc. They expect people not to take credit for converting people because people make the 'choice' to be vegan. Yeah, and the fucking world made the 'choice' to give women the vote with no persuasion what so ever !

So fucking uptight there it's untrue..

excuse my french, just pissed off.

I am still a member of Veganfreaks. I joined originally around 2005 because I enjoyed the podcasts. Back then it was quite a chilled out place but I also drifted and ended up going to veganforum. I recently went back there and was told I was in purgatory.

TBH It looks like Fort Knox - not a very welcoming or civilised forum at all. I do feel that it is not doing veganism any favours. Veganism is a very small minority, and big headedness is very unbecoming. Anyway I have no inclination to go back there, because of all the red-tape just to be able to have the 'privilege' to post in the main forum. It is a shame because there were some people there i knew.

One funny incident. I did know one chap back in the day, and now he was admin, and of course had no memory of me. So...yeah they are a bit uptight. It is a shame really. I was thinking the other day that on the internet there seems to be loads of vegans, however one trip to the supermarket and you see how few there are.

So..veganfreaks are a bunch of freaks. Veganforum has a crazed dictator who bans people for fun. Thank..goodness this place is 'normal'.

Perhaps this place only seems normal to the abnormal. I think it's normal.

This does seem the friendliest vegan forum I've ever been a member of!

ChenLi · 02-08-2010, 03:37 PM

It seems to be incredibly hard to join theveganforum. I tried joining, got told I hadn't signed up properly in an email but it didn't state what I'd done wrong yet told me to try again, so I did, got the same message, and then I try again...but registration is disabled, all in the space of 24hrs !

They were going introduce a system where you had to post in a blood sample so they could record all members DNA before you could join but they decided it might put some people off.

ChenLi · 02-09-2010, 09:11 AM

You have to be kidding, right?

Gliondrach · 02-09-2010, 09:27 AM

Would he tell lies?

ChenLi · 02-09-2010, 11:38 AM

Mind you, knowing the state of some forums out there it would not surprise me.

Doughnut · 02-10-2010, 05:49 AM

I am happy to donate any type of sample and in fact enjoy the whole process of sending myself via the Royal mail.

Thank you.

Well I managed to join the vegan forum...within 2 days I can't post anymore. My thread about Bruce (same one as I posted on here) was deleted, my account moderated so I couldn't post or use an avatar or pm' etc.

I sent this via the contact us form on there:

Quote:

For some reason, I've had a thread deleted for no reason at all, and my account moderated to the point I can't pm, can't post without moderation, can't post threads, can't view the user groups I'm signed up to, etc.

I've been given no reason at all why this has occured and I've not broken any rules!

Got this back in return:

Quote:

Hi,
you obviously don't understand our rules, which is a requirement for having an account here. We don't have time to discuss this further, sorry.

Wth sort of moderation is that!

Wth? You won't even tell me what rules I broke? What sort of moderation is that? I understood the rules clearly and broke none of them.

Gliondrach · 02-20-2010, 08:07 AM

Perhaps they knew you had joined before. But I don't know why so many people bother with the place - it is not user friendly. They might not know that vegan forums like this exist.

ChenLi · 02-20-2010, 08:12 AM

Well they're the ones who told me to re-register so I did. I'd heard VF was bad, but I didn't realise it was THAT bad.
