I want to pose a serious question to the mods here.

What is going on with the bans on the site? Are the Simbella mods trying to police the whole fricking internet?

On An_na's profile it now says

This account is banned until 2100-05-02 06:00:00;

Two members have forwarded me PM\\\'s in which you advertise SFV url\\\'s. This is the last straw... goodbye!

I mean, seriously? She has been banned because she sent a link to a site the mods do not like? To a third party site? That has nothing to do with Simbella?

I am quite shocked, really. An_na was always very nice and helpful and I never saw her do anything that would warrant her being banned. She disagreed, yes, but she always did it politely, she never said anything hurtful to anyone, or did anything else that I might consider abuse.

It seems to me that she was banned solely for thinking the wrong thoughts.

I'm very concerned about this whole thing. Is this the direction Simbella wants to go? Towards becoming a police state?

We made it PERFECTLY clear that we don't want any reference to and publicity about 'that' particular site in our forum. That's the only thing we ask. She kept pushing it and the ban is the result.

This is the direction we always took, this has never been different.

And really, we are hardly a state or country... come on, this is just a sims forum where fun and friendship are highly valued. An-na might be a nice girl but has never really shown any respect towards the values and people who run this forum. Remember how she finds it 'normal' that gifts and waffle-gifts made for the benefit of this forum are being shared elsewhere.

But if she didn't share any of those waffle-gifts with others I still do not see any reason for banning her.
If she sent the links in PM, that is hardly advertising anything.

Yes, this is a sims forum where we value fun and friendship, but is this going to be any fun, if the mods are the ones who say what is fun and what is not? If the normal users cannot decide for themselves what to say and the sites to visit? If they have to be careful of what to say in fear of saying the wrong thing and getting banned? If they have to fear spies and always think what they put down in PM in case someone will forward it to a mod?

I do not think that sounds very fun. I think that sounds like East Germany.

My english is not so good to understand what is happening but i like An_na too much... She always was so kind and polite and participative at the Forum....I like her houses..She's always been very kind, always willing to help at WCIF section....I would want to get in touch with her but i dont have a email adress . I read in her profile about the link but this is what i dont get to understand...Those sites were exhaustingly cited in a long long post...during days...everyone could get the link or the names...Why An_na was banned? please just explain....She is a staunch defender....I am so sad about it ...I tried to explain to Mar but i think that i didnt..I love the Forum and the friends that i got it here.....Please i love Sims2 too but it is only a game...it must be a pleasure, a happy thing not a torment...And i always thought that PM was private messenger isnt it?

About 2 years ago, before I became crew - a member emailed me to say that they knew of a site where I could download some pay files for free. I had asked for something in a WCIF thread and the member thought that since I couldnt buy it for myself at the time, they would send me a link to a site that has the pay files I was asking for.

I turned that person in to Crew and they were banned. So if you'll see, this is not a new occurance... this has been going on for years.

To get right down to it, this is Bella's forum - she and Smoker run it and pay for it, so she can do what she wants. And what Bella wants is to get rid of people who BLATANTLY defy her rules and wishes. This is Bella's home and she has ultimate control of who she wants in her house.



I love Crew!

My goodness Shannis.

We are against the fact that the gifts we make as a reward or the gifts that are made for the members of this forum are being shared outside of this forum. Period. If you don't agree with that statement then we don't want you here. How hard is that to understand? That's the ONLY thing we don't want here.

THE ONLY THING!

All the things you are saying in your post are very much out of context. This has nothing to do with opinions but everything with that ONE thing we don't want.

Patinha, I understood you just fine.


An_na sent people PMs about a certain site called SFV. The mods do not like the fact that people talk about SFV. Somebody sent the PM she or he got from an_na to the mods. They banned her.

I'm also trying to find out why.

Shannis - I don't want to offend you, but haven't you been a member for something like 3 years by now? Seriously, you should know better than this.

About the crew making decisions - don't you think that's their job here? AND: Shouldn't Bella be free to do whatever in here since it's her forum? She doesn't need to explain everything she does, but in this case ... didn't she make her point clear enough by now?

Moreover, there is at least one huge difference between East Germany and Simbella's: You are free to leave whenever you like.

I've been wanting to say what Shannis and Christina have said and I admire them very much. There is too much policing going around and although it is your forum Bella it has become too monitored in my opinion.

So, although I like many of the people here, and you know who you are, I I will now say that certain people like Laura, for example, sicken me with theirr reporting (see above post). It truly is like Communisim and I know what I'm talking about because I spent a lot of time in a former Communist country when I was younger.

Therefore, it's time for me to say goodbye.

Bella, if An_na didn't share the gifts, I do not see why you banned her. Because she knew of this forum? Because she told others that it exists? The forum will not go away because you pretend that it doesn't exist!

I have hundreds, no, thousands of gifts from Simbella. I am grateful to the creators for each one. When I show off things on different forums, people admire my things and ask me where I got them. I always tell them I got them from simbella and give a direct link to the thread.

Sometimes people have asked me if I could send the gift to them. I've always said no, because I respect the wishes of creators here.

I do not understand how I'm being out of context here. IMHO, if An_na didn't share them, you have no reason for banning her.

Yes, I should know better than this. Never to question, never to criticize. Never to suggest that a mod would be wrong or unjust.

You know, what you should really be wondering is why there are so few people in this thread talking about what happened?

Maybe because they are afraid to way what they really think? Ever thought about that?

.... you really have no clue what you are talking about!! Really, communisme? Come on... get a grip! This is a sims-forum and we have had tons and tons and my god tons of fun in the 4 year that we are around. Our rules haven't changed one bit in all that time. Maybe it's because An-na is an attention seeker that this one ban is such a big deal.

And OF COURSE there have always been people who don't agree with the way we do things around here and those people simply left and moved on. I don't understand why you all have to make such a big deal out of it. Why would An-na still want to be here? She dislikes me soooooooooo very much, has done so since quite some time. It's still my name up there in the banner! If I disliked a forum-owner I simply don't go there jeez.

Again, I ban people who don't respect our rules... simple. If you don't agree with that then you indeed should go. I'll delete your membership later today if you want to . Because that's another thing you can find in our rules, if you want to be deleted, no big deal, just ask.

Shannis, pretend that they don't excist is exactly what I intend to do. That is what I did for 2 years already and it worked just fine, untill some resent discussions here in yap that stirred up the whole discussion again. I just don't want to know they are there. I am very much aware that a lot of the people from there are also here, but as long as they don't 'remind' me that they are from 'there' I'm fine.. really.

I do respect your loyalty to the creators here Shannis, thank you for that!

I won't get in on the real argument here... but...

You can't honestly compare a SIMS INTERNET FORUM to NAZI GERMANY can you? That's the silliest and most tasteless thing I've heard in... actually about 24 hours. The repeat airing of the drunken David Hasselhoff video are equally tasteless.

Yes Audrey, people reported on others to get a pat on the back and a slightly better life. That's the way it seems here, you do some reporting and a lot of ass-kissing and you'll be up there with the stars. The ones who were reported on, whether guilty or not, were sent to the Gulag or some nice camp in Poland!

Laura, I'm leaving now, I never disliked Bella until recently however you have made me sick for a long time. Remember when you sent me the PM saying how you saw that I was registered at SFV? I had only gone there because someone here told me that someone there had used one of my houses to show off as theirs. I was immediately suspected of being a file-sharer. BTW, I have never been one.

I reported because that is the DECENT thing to do. Sharing illegally is not something I want to be a part of... I was relatively new to the sims community when this happened and even then I knew it was wrong.

Obviously those without morals wouldnt' see a problem.

That's an insane comparison. You're taking a genocide, an awful, awful period in the history of the human race, and comparing it to..... a virtual place for people to chat and talk about a computer game. Being banned from anything, regardless of the reason, should NEVER be compared to MASS MURDER.

Wow. Message received clearly.

I see I am not wanted here.

You know, I've donated to Hangout because I liked this place so much. I was a member for three years. It was fun. But I feel that things have changed and I do not want to be a part of this anymore.

There are people here I really, really admire and like, people such as Wendy, Mira, Lynn, Figaro, Jenny, Droylynn, Beddog. I've probably left out someone important, and tomorrow I'll feel bad about it, because I won't get the chance to say it to them anymore.

Feel free to do whatever you want with my account, Bella. I won't be coming back.

Shannis - why are you all of the sudden feeling attacked? You may call me naïve, but I thought this was about Anna, SFV and gifts being shared?

You say you like this place, the people and the friendly and fun atmosphere ... I hope you won't regret your decision later.

Right, to get the bad vibes out of here and you who respect her so very much just now spoiled the fun.

Your mood sais enough though, you started this post to stir trouble and intended to leave anyway. I can't say I'm not sorry for that. One would think that after 3 years you'd know better. And please don't blame me for 'how much' it has changed here because I have hardly been around the last year.

Shannis, it's nice to see you respect me, I suppose because I make recolors, though, I hate HATE seeing them get passed on, just like that, in other places.

I do think you are entitled to disagree with Bella's decision to ban An-na, however, it is also Bella's right to have an opinon, not. And bu the way, here is a link to the terms of use of the forum:


The PM-system is not to be used for advertisements/solicitations/harrassment.

I think this solely was ground enough to ban her. You may agree or not, but by becomming a member here, you are supposed to agree with the terms of use.

actually if you read sharing items created by outside folks is not illegal
only the sharing of maxis made objects is illegal
i am not saying sharing is okay, but it will not send you to jail


i don't need to be here for more than 2 days to defend someone i like and respect who is a member at multiple sites i visit.

Jayla, nothing is going down

There have always been discussions like this and yet we are still here and people still enjoy it here. I'm not worried about that at all.

No I won't ban them, they said they where leaving so there's no need to do so

Their membership will automaticly be deleted during the next member-purge if they kept word and never came back.

LOL.

I wish someone told her that I never shared the gifts. I'll bet she wouldn't believe that but still.
And Bella has been told that I didn't "advertise" because I wanted to make people come here, I did it because Lynn, her bestest online friend asked me to send the PMs. But she hasn't told the rest of the crew that.


This is what An_na has to say about this. Go ahead and ban me now since I'd rather be at SimsFileVault anyways. They actually treat their members with respect!

Well, of course they're free to do whatever the hell they want on their forums, and I do hope people get upset enough to leave. If this is the same An_na as on S2C, she seems like a really decent person. What really made me pissed though, is:
Quote

About 2 years ago, before I became crew - a member emailed me to say that they knew of a site where I could download some pay files for free. I had asked for something in a WCIF thread and the member thought that since I couldnt buy it for myself at the time, they would send me a link to a site that has the pay files I was asking for.

I turned that person in to Crew and they were banned. So if you'll see, this is not a new occurance... this has been going on for years.


What the hell? Why would you report someone for TRYING TO HELP? Ungrateful, stupid, asslicking idiots. I occasionally tell people about the booty on SC2, when they request something in WCIF. (Though the URL gets cencored in the PMs  :lol:) If someone reported me there and got me banned for trying to be helpful... I'd hunt them down and... well, I dunno. Kill them?

I do get their point. I do. I do get why they don't like the sharing of their stuff and the rules and the right to ban yaddayadda...

BUT

The way they MAKE that point with condescending bullshit and tells someone who has been there for three YEARS and has 1400 posts and has no doubt been a nice addition to their community to "just leave if you don't like it here!" that bugs the hell out of me and makes me want to share their stuff!!!

Also, banning people for mentioning SFV in PM's (without, I might add, clarifying the specific context) is just stupid and annoying as well. So much for PRIVATE messaging.

It may be because I'm actually a decent person but I would NEVER turn someone in for trying to help me via PM - no matter how misguided I might think that person was.

Furthermore, I thought everyone was exaggerating when they talked of how far people's lips were up Bella's ass in there but I stand corrected. My god, they can tease her tonsils with their tongues.

Post by: Hecubus on 2007 May 05, 22:50:57
Folks, I just made my exit at Simbella (I'd signed up to get a file I liked ages ago and had the oft-reported experience from hell trying to get it.)
I started it as I did, bcause there was another page or two of stupid posts about sigs and smilies....I thought they'd lost their way.

I have left them with this post:

Quote
I'm going to get this post back on topic AND get my butt banned for this, but it's worth it.

Bella and company, this is THE MOST AWFUL SIMS FORUM I'VE EVER SEEN...for several reasons:

1. A new member has to kiss enormous amounts of behind to get even a nod, no less a file. When I joined, it took a series of rather stupid PMs just to get one file...and the effort was, frankly, not worth it.

2. Guess who owns ALL the .package files...MAXIS/EA. It's very clearly a part of their End User License Agreement (EULA). Maxis/Ea encourages file sharing. I know you guys don't charge money, but let's face it....if given a choice, most people would rather pay a few bucks than suck up so much.

3. YOU ARE FILESHARERS ALREADY. You share meshes and recolors of items NOT made exclusively for this site. Shall we START with Sherry?

4.You dislike ANY dissent. That is sadly out of fashion in all but China and Cuba (and a few other random countries)....certainly NOT how a board should be run. And if that's what you want, then make that clear now. Don't advertise. Tell everyone who doesn't believe the sun rises and sets on you to leave now.

5.You advertise yourself as the 'friendliest place' in the Sims community, when in fact you are not. You are cliquish, snobby, and self-important. This board is a small fish in a big pond...not a big fish in a small pond.

6.Your massive banning sessions have resulted in MANY of your former members coming to Sims File Vault and Paysites Must Be Destroyed looking for relief....for confirmation that they're not the crazy ones. These two sites have welcomed them with open arms.

7.Your story about Linda's leaving is fishy. It smacks of Orwell's 1984.

I don't know if anyone will read this, other than the mod that is going to ban me (for 100 years? Oh please make it so! Fifty years is so wimpy.), but I MUST congratulate ALL who have spoken up about what's happening here.

I'd say it's been real, but I've barely been here. It's been awful.

Sayonara.


If only I'd signed on there with "Hecubus"....I had used an older nickname when I signed up there.

ETA: I wanted to make sure everyone saw the sig graphic that Bella is using:
(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u194/MusicalMaven/BellasSig.gif)

That explains it all.

Post by: Druid on 2007 May 05, 23:05:27
I swear to god that place makes me fucking SICK. the only reason i go there now is to check the updates... I think i've requested like 2 things from there total, bc most of it is crap. Recolors of super high poly meshes, no thank you.

An_na was a nice person, she really was. Although, she should have been more careful after she spoke out in the filesharers thread a few weeks back. :( Not her fault, though, that some people are fucking assholes and ratted her out for mentioning SFV (notice the context was not given) IN A PM!! They tried to justify saying no advertisments were allowed via pms.   :roll: Fucking please.

The ass kissing and aptly dubbed "hump fest" going on in that thread now are making me retch. Must...turn...eyes...away.

Yay, hecubus.

Yerrs - that was some damn good vitriol. Glad I read it.  

I have only signed up there because I wanted the see through floor tiles - and I copied their supposed waffle gift brush pictures and I can make my own from their pictures  :D  Can't use it on sims though - too common.

I felt like standing up and applauding when I read your message a few posts up. Way to go, Hecubus! :D

I went back over there to see their reactions to your post, but they're acting like it never existed.  They're pulling a typical Bella - pretend it doesn't exist, and it'll all go away.  :roll:   She even admitted as much when someone called her out on it in that thread.  It's like being in a place full of little kids.

I couldn't stand their little lovefest, and it gave me a headache. :?

Edited because I repeated myself.  Simbella's killed what brain cells I had left.

Or PM it to as many members as you can before they catch you and ban you. Starting at the top of the members list by number of posts. (Skipping the obvious braindeads like *Laura*)


Title: Simbella: Vive la Revolution...or something like that

I know, but it will also severely limit the number of other members she will get to send it to. Laura should be near the bottom of the receiving line.

My second post reposting Hecubus' post is gone. God they are so pathetic :roll:

But I'm impressed they didn't ban me after the first one (Posted by merrygollum on: 06-05-2007 01:41 wow, asskissingfest, anyone? Way to call sheep those who dissent O_O You are kinda hilarious though, but not in a good way.) When I saw this thread I went to look into my passwords file (yeah, i have one  :lol:) and duh, I found the Simbella one. After the Universal Sims thing I now know better than to swear I never saw a sims site before, even when I can't for the life of me remember why the heck I registered. There's no activity whatsoever recorded from me there, I probably just wanted to read some tutorial.

Update: I'm banned now. Those kids are fucking predictable :roll:

ETA because no! I'm not banned yet! It was just a slow connection playing tricks on me! I can play some more yay yay.

I used to enjoy Simbella's.  I have over 3000 posts there, although I haven't been posting in a long while.  It used to just be friendly - you could chat with other people and enjoy yourself - they were also fairly supportive of one another.  Now it's almost.. frantically friendly, as everyone tries to prove how much they love the place, Bella, and the mods.  It's turned into Mean Girls, except instead of being upfront with their snobbery, you've no idea when it's going to turn on you.  

It's like .. The Stepford Forum.

These people DISGUST me! I think I was a member 4 years ago for 5 minutes before they wiped my account for inactivity, and thank the heavens they did so!

I can't decide whether that Tam-whatever-his-name-is bloke irritates me most of all, or whether it's Laura or Bella who sicken me. I think I've decided Laura takes that crown, merely for the, "Someone wanted to help me. I wanted to suck up. It was the RIGHT THING TO DO. They got banned. I got a crown." I want to stab her many, many times.

Bella is so...so full of her own importance. But that's nothing new. She's also very "it's my site not yours!" which defies the whole purpose of "community". Trust me, if I wanted to be a part of a dictatorship, I'd not want to be run by this thing that thinks it is human. Really. I wouldn't.

And what's with the whole, "it's just a game and these are just pixels!" issue? Because NOBODY was talking about the pixels, they were talking about the unfair banning! That moron.

Post by: Hecubus on 2007 May 06, 01:15:38
RL, that's not a bad idea. Wonder how long a screen name PMBD would even LAST...?

Although truthfully, we don't have much  Simbella stuff here...we collected a bit, but since they' re not a paysite (just a pain-in-the-ass site), they aren't QUITE in the scope of our focus. It's defniitely the filesharing aspect - SFV's strong suit - that Bella's so pissed off about.

However...we LOVE a good drama here, don't we, kids? Paysite destruction is our job...bitchslapping is our hobby.


Bliss: LOVE "The Stepford Forum". Brilliant.

Well. I was thinking a name like Phil Mario Brenden Demon. You know? Or a name with initials PMBD. Then go in and spam the shit out of them

Title: Simbella: Vive la Revolution...or something like that
Post by: Granuaile on 2007 May 06, 01:32:03
I'm willing to spam them from work - there's never anything to do in the afternoon anyway, and I don't want to get this I.P. banned because I don't have a proxy (I don't even know how to get one) and because I want to see the drama unfold on that site.  :twisted:

Maybe I'll go on as "Pescado's Groupie" or "Pescado's Disciple", but I doubt a name like that will last long over there.  :roll:

Btw...I saw your second post HtR before it got deleted.  It was a beautiful experience, especially since no one posted after it.  It was like you either gave them a bad shock, or you bitch-slapped them so hard they needed to recover from it.  :lol:

I lost my appetite for the popcorn.  :(

I'm glad you're having fun, even though truth to be told you all sound slightly retarded. I mean, I get it that you're struggling to shove your head further up your ass, but that post that you're so afraid of will still exist, and its deleting unexplained to the many who saw it. So let's try again, huh? The post: (Hecubus' post follows)

This one posted in response to their deleting frenzy is still there though:

The only good thing that could come out of this is if their members are seeing your posts being deleted.  It just proves that they're deleting dissenting posts, and maybe it'll wake some of those members up (who are staying silent but watching things).

And the funny thing is, they probably don't see themselves that way.

Is it just me, or do adult married women act worse that the kids sometimes in the Sims community?  It's just something I've noticed over the years while lurking on different fora.

Idano, but this makes me glad to be an adult unmarried woman  :wink:

No, seriously, I just think there are a lot more "mothers and spouses" playing this game and frequenting the fora than in other games etc, so they are a lot more visible. I never visit, I don't know, knitting sites (this one is going to earn me a beating), so I never really met this amount of women before. I'm used to chatting with men, to be honest. Or the occasional gamer girl.

They do indeed.

I get the idea of act young, be young, but some people take it pretty far.  There are several women on that forum that I would absolutely hate to run into in meatworld.  I'm willing to bet that many are big, big boxes of crazy just waiting to open up.

I've never been on a knitting site either, and I prefer sports much more than things like gardening, etc...

I love talking to men, and I have a lot more male friends than I do female ones.  I'm not sure why, but it's always been that way.  I used to be a tomboy, and I guess I still am to a degree.   That's probably why a place like Simbella's makes me want to hit something, although that Smoker guy acts just as bad as the females over there.  :roll:

That's not acting young, that's acting* immature and stupid.
And congratulation "the meatworld" that's a great word! :D I want it. That says it all, no confusions about "what is real in the real world".
Meat= food and sex. That about covers what's real. ;)

*Acting being used without any references to the actual meaning of the word; to pretend. It's merely filler, ignore it for all purposes.

Hell, I'm a girly girl.  I love gossip and chatting about girly things with other women.  I just don't feel the need to add in "OMGZ I LUVS U GUYZ!" with every post.  I just don't need that kind of affirmation added to my life.  Maybe that's why I got turned off from the place.  I wonder if they're just .. insecure and need someone to tell them what a special snowflake they are, constantly.

I wonder how much of that is people egging each other on.  They see a few people act like that, and they think that it's the most acceptable way to act on a forum.  Also, they're probably letting out their inhibitions that they can't release in their real world but it's like they have this need to take it to extremes.

A combination of that and the fact that they tend to make a LOT of goddamned noise about inconsequential things, so they end up ultra-visible.

Argharghargh Simbella is so terrible. I want to take a shit in their collective mouth.

It's entirely possible.  Maybe they're not getting the love or attention they need in their real world, so they try to get what they can online.  It sounds more pitiful than anything else, when you think about it.

That happens a lot offline too, especially when you work for a predominately-female company.  I like other women, but sometimes I feel I have to watch what I say much more than I do with men (most of whom don't really give a crap about a lot of things).

I only say that to people I'm talking to when I'm REEEEEEEALY drunk.


Regarding the high numbers of married women with kids on forums...I think a LOT of women who chose to stay home or have only part time jobs use the internet as an escape. I was very active in the pagan online community in the late 90s, and sat in a new online friend's kitchen once...she would run between the toddler in the living room, the first grader in the dining room, the food cooking on the stove, and the computer. She'd type something or read a post, then run off again. It seemed to be her only means of socialization....and I think as a result, it was easy to go 'high school'. And yes, she was doing this while I was there....it was like an addiction. And there is a level of mob mentality.

At least she had the opportunity for some intelligent conversation...and meeting some cool people (and axe murderers like me).

That's not to excuse Bella's bullshit...that's desparation gone TOO far.

Me too, along with "Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm drunk!"  I always feel the need to apologize.

And I agree, I do believe that is their only form of socialization, and when one goes "SQUEEE!" the rest follow.

The one MAJOR thing I hate is that ANY ANY ANY thread that has someone with a differing opinion winds up in a slobbery lovefest.

I have similar experiences. I tend to be very forward and blunt, and I find that a lot of women feel as if they're obligated to bullshit around and never really say what they mean. LOL GENDER STEREOTYPES and whatnot.

That, and a certain amount of fear of rejection by their peers (for speaking one's mind, oh noes!) goes into the mix. What results is a lot of passive-aggressive nonsense and a group of otherwise intelligent women acting like pre-teen 'tards.

Oh - are you sooooo in trouble here - I am married, with 2 kids, and much of my socialising is done online.  Post grad students usually have boring lives spent in research, so online is the only place I can go at 2am and talk to someone before going batshit.  

But then, there is I believe a difference between someone who never got out of that mode of perfect woman, lovely "mummy".  Many of these women just believe that they need to present a perfect idealised image to the world - and that's what they do.  They're not comfortable in their own skins, and so they project an image of the quintessential mummy.

They're so busy with their bullshit, and lying to themselves about how everything is easy, and their lives are a fairytale, that they need to prove to everyone else how wonderful it is.

I started that thread. :)

It was just too much, I had to say something. Bella's deleting/banning spree was getting on my nerves.

The sad part is that most people didn't seem to understand what I was saying. My intention wasn't to attack anyone, it was meant to get them to think. Iis this policing really what we want? Do we need someone to tell us what to say? Is dissenting really such a bad thing?

But nobody that commented (except for Beddog and Patinha, obviously) understood what I was getting at. Still, there must be others that are agreeing with me and Beddog. They just do not dare to say anything.

They're deleting the reposts of Hecubus' post because you're not a well-known member. I was there for over three years and Beddog was a well-known member, so they cannot ignore us or remove our posts.

Hopefully at least some people there read the whole thread from the beginning and start thinking (if they are not thinking about these things already).

That site is a complete and utter disgrace, and I hope somebody eventually is able to tell Bella. The other point that infuriates me is the whole "it's Bella's forum so she can do what she likes". But you see, if people didn't join it wouldn't be "Bella's home", it would be "an empty site ran by Bella". Therefore the fact that she created it means NOTHING. There would be nothing if it weren't for the members, and so when she says "you can just leave" if everyone left...well, what would become of Bella then...? :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

But oooh wait, maybe I should behave like that? "This is my apartment and I can bonk your head with a frying pan if I want to!!! And if that doesn't suit you, don't let the door hit you in da butt on the way out!!!1115@wah!!" Sadly, that would end with crying, being all alone in my big empty apartment..

Okay I went to Simbella's this morning in order to see if I could go on stubbornly asking for explanations, but here's what I've found

This account has been banned until 06-05-2100.

The reason for this is:


Funny, huh? No reason mentioned, so I was banned officially for no reason  :mrgreen:  

This entire thing has kind of weirded me out. I'm not a forum person, like even my post count here suggests. I can't even say I lurk in the places I happen to be registered because as in the sims community, if I'm registered it's only to take a look at a specific tutorial or grab a particular file, not really to chat or read threads without participating. That explains why I have registrations I don't even remember about. This is to say I'm not a spamming expert either. In this case I decided to intervene because I was outraged, but let me tell you I don't care whether these people at Simbella are frustrated in life or not, there's no excuse for such a cretin behaviour. I don't believe in people being so different on the internet than in real life, and as far as these people, this is a scary thought indeed.  I can't figure out what kind of satisfaction they got in behaving the way they did in that thread. It's an embarassment to read their post, so much more if they're adults like you say they are. I really do pity them. They're such losers, and yet there they are basking in their own idiotic giggling misery :shock:

Basically, if you're a new poster with only 5-100 posts and you post something that goes against the general consensus (read: Bella's views) you're considered a troll and they will either ignore you or ban you.

I wasn't a troll since I've been there a long time, I've helped people with computer problems, WCIFs etc. That's why they could not ignore me, because they had seen my posts and knew I was not there just to get the goods and to troll around.

It's funny, though, they were all like, "Why are you trying to rock the boat? Don't you know better?" Rather sad, really.

Just because someone write alot doesn't mean they are smart or should be listened too. It encourages a type of behaviour where the people who yell the highest is listened too.

That's so true, and I've seen it in real life too.  I truly can understand people not sharing their private lives with people they barely know.  However, there are so many out there who try to be perfect and act like it and who act like their husband, children and lives are perfect too.  The truth is, nobody's perfect and there's no such thing as a perfect life.  All we can really do is be the best people we can be and make our lives the best we want it to be.  But, they don't seem to realize that for some reason.

The sad thing is, by playing their "perfect woman" roles, they usually end up acting in ways that may be contrary to their true natures.  It's like they forget who they are, and it's like they lose themselves.  I wonder if that's why some of the people at Simbella's act the way they do because they're letting out feelings about themselves and their lives that are frustrating to them but they don't know why.  The reason is that they probably don't realize that their subconscious may be trying to tell them something.

I don't think I worded it right - sometimes I have a hard time saying what I mean.

This sort of thing was just waiting to happen there, and if they think by editing, deleting, and banning they are going to keep this situation from arising with even more vigar in the future they are sadly mistaken.

I can't believe it was my files started this inevitable avalanche, and the fact that I basically said, share them anyway you choose, meaning they didn't even have to link the the SFV to get the damn things!  They could just share the them amoungst themselves, in contrived email distribution fashion, like they do.  Their own Mod, who now mysteriously decided to leave of her own will allowed them to distribute the files.  It wasn't until Bella started her mad deleting of any evidence of my creations and her little banning act that started people asking questions and revolting.

God forbid our members see that someone doesn't give a damn who has their files or how they are shared!  Oh nos!  We can't allow that madness! What will our members who we make preform tricks to get ours think?!

You're expecting logical behavior from a lobotomized hivemind site. Stop that, you'll get a rash.

I would be highly annoyed if I was a forum member, was asked where I got something, answered honestly, and was banned for doing so. What I'm seeing is that someone asked someone else WCIF "item" and so someone else responded truthfully that she'd snagged it from SFV, and then a third someone turned someone else in for answering her question via a private message.

That should have been the end of it. It was a PM. Instead, some weenie (either a third someone or a third someone's crony) tattled, and someone else got banninated.

That's lame on so many different levels that my brain struggles to grasp it (hence the lack of effort to remember what screennames did what to who, as demonstrated in the above paragraphs, because I don't care enough to remember them). I don't speak Lamer, their ways are always foreign and confusing to me.

i have to comment on a few things here
1, simbella is a complete twatwaffle,sans syrup. this is a lower version of TSR with the ass-licking going on there. living in fear of a ban is no way to encurage new members to your forum or to keep those who are fairly new to the site. the post count/seriousness thing is over the top and someone needs to take a big shoehorn and pry that womans head out of her ass before she suffocates..get the other members out of there too, for hygine reasons.
2, as someone who ran a message board populated by women and only women (mommashome.net, now defunct and deleted) i can attest to the childish behavior of women over the age of 18..heck over the age of 30! our most mature member was a 16 yr old single mom for gods sakes. you put a bunch of 'mummy's' in a pack and all rationality goes out the window.
 the realiy is that a woman,trapped in a house with small children and littel to no adult conversation will in fact go insane (yes i speak from experience)and the 'net IS a really great way to have some social time when your time isn't your own. that being said i think some of these super-moms need to get off thier high hourses and face facts....no matter who you pretend to be online, at the end of the day, you are just the same old boring you

Here's a rant that I have been itching to put down for a couple of days so now it can't be helped anymore.

[SKIP NEXT BIT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR MY STORY]

SimBella, LyricLee and those like them, I have been those women, ok? With the whole dramatic scenes, kicking people from chat, ass-kissing and all but cybering in public. For a couple of years - that was me online. I am not proud of it yet I make no excuses and I see no reason in hiding it. It won't make a lick of difference as to who I am today and if it makes a difference in how people perceive me, then so be it. I grew weary of pretending a long time ago.

I have no children, so that excuse has been invalid for me, but I recognise some of it. When I behaved that badly I was a teen, probably 16-18ish and I was being abused in my home to an extend that my psychological skin was so burned that if somebody even made as if to touch it I would flinch and cry. (yea yea, boo-friggin-hoo)

Anyhoo, entering an online community where I could be everything I wanted to be was a buzz. Gaining prestige and becoming the popular girl was a buzz. Having people always patting my back (or kissing my ass, whatever) and giving me the acceptance that I didn't get anywhere else, was a buzz. And ultimately, I rose to the levels where I thought I was better than most ordinary mortals and totally abusing my Super Admin status to smite those who did not act how I liked them to act... which, of course, was a buzz.

One day I realised it wasn't who I wanted to be, online or offline. I think I was out of the house by then. I came down to earth, dumped that community and for a long while didn't go to another one at all. I started working on myself as a real life person, as I was prone to drama there too. My last relationship had failed because of my inability to live without the drama rush and for two years I stayed single, just trying to learn to find my status quo and "calm down".

To some extend I succeeded. I can still get emo over things in my real life, especially when I am very stressed out, but I do not come in here feeling superior and starting fights. I do not come here for a pat on the back either, as I really don't need that kind of validation from anyone that don't even know the real me. I come here because I think this board is loaded with interesting people (even those I don't seem to get along with) and interesting topics.

[END OF HALLMARK STORY]

My point? It saddens and sickens me that grown women are still carrying on like I did when I was a teen. In a way I feel sad for them because they must have their reasons, but if a mere slip of an 18-year old girl can stop and better herself, then what is their excuse? Do they really think that what they have is real? That they are Goddesses to be worshipped? The thing that really gets me is that these women have children. What better reason to better one self than for your child? I know I would do my darndest. But, unfortunately, I also know that if I still had to live under my past circumstances my darndest would not be enough... And again, I feel sorry for them if they have such a bad life...

OK, they are more to be pitied than censured. What is sad, though, is that those are kinds of people you find in forums (the especially active posters) too frequently for it ever to change.

That is why THIS forum is a breath of fresh air. (And the only non-crazy forum left in the sims community or elsewhere. ) You people are all I have left.  :cry:

On the topic of censorship, and for Moune and others:

I apologize in advance that this is going to be long, but I want to explore the issues you raised thoroughly.

Even in places which recognize free speech as a right, there are limits: Libel in the case of a free press, yelling "fire" in a crowded place, inciting to riot, etc. Some people take their freedom and license and think they are providing a public service by broadcasting any opinion that comes to them, even when it is out of place in a particular topic. Others feel their personal feelings entitle them to discuss causing others bodily harm by wishing they were stabbed. That's certainly not what I would call welcoming atmosphere.

In this case, the thoughts are not being censored, but the mention of a place that causes hurt to members of this forum -- not just crew. Some people for whom English is not their native language may have trouble being understood in an accurate expression of their thoughts, but I am not aware that anyone here takes them to task for it.

There are some words that are considered hurtful to other people: certain terms for ethnicities, words for people with physical and mental disabilities.

For some people, it can be a reminder of a place. Mel Brooks would not ride in any car from Germany. I watched the documentary "Paragraph 175" recently about the 10 known gay survivors of the Holocaust -- one of them has not knowingly even shaken hands with anyone of German descent since the 1940s.

Am I saying that "that place" rises to that level? Of course not -- that would be hyperbole and there's been enough of that. Those are merely examples of how the name of a place can cause pain to people.

Should it? I don't know, but that's beside the point -- it does. Why should this forum support, even by mention, the name of a site when that name causes pain?

So, just as the forum does not allow abusive words that some people use to define people, why should it allow the name of a place that many find objectionable and is proscribed by the TOS?

Sure, as an adult, you have the choice to use whatever language you like and you don't need other people telling you not to use a variety of hateful words. I have the feeling you wouldn't use those words -- I know I don't.

I must also say that I think that you are right... a serious question was raised originally that got drowned out by the voices of people who apparently only wanted to cause problems.

Bella responded, but questions remained -- the serious questions also got lost in what followed. Most of those were already addressed as far as I could tell, but people often miss what is in front of them.


And, yes, I was also trying to say that I think ratting is disgusting, because it does nothing but destroy the warm and kind atmosphere that we should be protecting and nurturing in this forum.


There has been quite a discussion about this in the US because a "code of ethics" has emerged of NOT reporting to the authorities, largely for two reasons: mistrust of authority and fear of reprisal from those reported.

It came out of an interview that rapper Cam'ron gave to Anderson Cooper on the news-magazine "60 Minutes." He said that he would never cooperate with police, even if he knew a serial killer lived next door. Cam'ron added that he would just move.

Personally, I'm surprised that a journalist would hold such an opinion because many news stories have come to light only because of "whistle blowers." But, I also see in today's culture that both the "whistle blowers" and journalists are not held in the esteem they once were.

People even write to newspapers objecting to the information they print -- as I saw in an interview with the editor of the "Washington Post" whose readers objected to their "Truth Squad" which looked at Presidential speeches and reported on both lies and inaccuracies that they contained. The "Truth Squad" was largely dismantled.

Those who have reported here on these activities have not been rewarded in any way to my knowledge, they have merely seen a situation they thought was against the TOS and reported it because they were concerned.

The same thing has happened with some threads of discussion that have popped up, or objectionable language. Crew cannot be everywhere at once and since, of course, we cannot read PMs. These things have been very helpful to try to maintain the atmosphere we strive for here, they have shown that members are active in helping with that, as well.

I know that I have only seen posts from some members and past members that I can only describe as "troubling" and not "helpful" as some have described. I'm sure that some people have only experienced my posts under "troubling" circumstances and ony judge me by those. I cannot help that.

When I feel that I am being attacked, or that a place I love is being attacked, I react. Not always well, not always lovingly, not always with the best judgment, but I am a work in progress.

I'm not saying that your post was "attacking" in any way, just to lead to saying that I am truly sorry if my posts have caused pain for people whose intentions were not those of the attackers.

Anyone who reads this may believe that or not. It is your right. If you will not believe what I believe to be true, I cannot help that.

[edited to remove long, idiotic ramblings]

WTF is this fucktard smoking?  How is anything he said even somewhat relevant to the discussion?  How can he compare how the mention of the Holocaust causes pain to those who endured it with the pain experienced by the members of the forum at the mention of SFV.  SOMEBODY BEAT SOME INTELLIGENCE INTO HIM.

Also, in case anybody missed it, the admins at Simbella's set up the forum's censor to automatically change SFV to "Robbers United" in members' posts.  I think perhaps this phorum should adopt a similar policy to change Simbella's to "Arselickers United".  I know how even the mention of that site can cause some of the members here pain, even to the point of inducing mental comas.

2. The only people's home this is is Bella's and Smokers - don't feel comfortable, or relaxed - you are only welcomed so long as you do as they ask.

Just for the record: Me and Susi (Beddog) didn't say anything about Nazis. I was warning them not to turn Simbella into East Germany with all the informers and controlling of members. Now, if any of them had read their history lessons, East Germany refers to the post-WWII where the communists were in charge.

And Beddog, who is a Czech, also compared the dealings of some crew members to those of the Communist Regime of Czechoslovakia.

Ahh yea, now I remember. And I live right on top of Germany so I do know the difference, lots of boring history lessons to that effect. But wasn't it turned into something with nazis and dictators by someone? Possibly themselves? I know it was twisted severely.

But anyhoo, if we aren't allowed to call them police states without them going off about this being just pixels and such, then howcome they are allowed to call us Nazi Germany? No matter how much he claims that he isn't, he seems to be doing just that.

I think my mistake is to expect logic.

I just got an email that sums up what I think of friendship - and how it differs from fake happy-happy slit my wrists type relationships.

Quote
True Friendship"

None of that Sissy Crap
 
Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good,
But never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
   
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against
The hateful bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
 
3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.
 
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
 
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much   Worse it could be until you quit whining.
 
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
 
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well   Again. I don't want whatever you have.
 
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
 
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;    "because you are my friend".
 
Friendship is like peeing your pants,
everyone can see it,
But only you can feel the true warmth.
 
Send this to 10 of your closest friends,
Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

But doesn't go for life in general? When you start a new job you do not always feel comfortable until you have had time to get to know everybody and find your niche.

It's all about getting to know everybody and getting to the point where you feel comfortable and knowing that being yourself is welcome, not unaccepted.


Yes, but seeing as when I have started jobs, there are people who can see my physical person and reach out to me, it's altogether different. I am already a senior member, with 0 posts, and have dropped in once a month or so, and have never received any overtures, and to be quite honest find it a little difficult to understand how it works here. I only figured out waffles last night. I joined in Oct 2006 - and if after 6 months at a new casual job I couldn't talk to anyone or figure out how to, then I would surely quit.

And if I were to try to break into a group, then I certainly wouldn't pick the group of people standing in a closed circle agreeing with each other, and talking of life details I know nothing about.

*Melissa* wrote:

Actually I quite disagree here. Many others, and indeed, well known creators have been to a site that I will not name, and welcomed. Even dissenters are welcomed, if not goaded.

Others have spoken more knowledgeably on that topic.


Yes, but here, they were not sanctioned for bad behaviour, but rather for answering questions - which led to comparisons of East Germany - where information is not a good thing. For having knowledge - not proof of misdeeds, nor of breaking TOS, just information.

This information sharing was not designed to hurt anyone - just to be known. I know the information of which they speak, and yet just this admission it seems is enough to get me banned. Even participating in forums other than here is enough to get me banned, despite the fact that I have followed all of the rules here. I have never seen a forum where acknowledgement of other web history or participation is a reason to ban you.


Mind you, there was a sharp increase of people searching "calalily" on google - I know that because they used it as a referral to my site.  Must have been searching for my misdeeds.  :lol: And here I am.

Of course the mods asked for a hiatus - which I will abide (*this must be my problem with banning - I actually can't bring myself to wilfully break the rules*) but they may just be taking the opportunity to find out my history and make me not a ban virgin.

OK listen, you are right I was wrong. I banned An-na for the wrong reasons. I didn't have all the info about Lynn at that time. It was a wrong reaction made with the wrong intentions... which where an emotional reaction upon a lot of things going on in my life. I have to say though that Anna could have easely asked me to do so herself, this whole debate really wasn't necesary. I found a letter from Anna in my email and she's perfectly capable to express her feelings about me. She could have just asked in stead of insulting me .... really....

But anyway, I admit I was wrong and I apologize for that. I will un-ban Anna who'll have to ask someone on crew to have her new username deleted. Having 2 usernames is also against our TOU. Also the info provided is wrong... I'm pretty sure her surname isn't 'na'. I'll give her 2 day's to do this. I think that that is fair enough.

End of discussion as far as I am concerned. If you still have unanswered questions that you want me to answer then please ask me through PM. I just don't have the energy to dig through all these pages. Because yes, I do have a life, a job, a family ... and a long to-do list.

Well, me being banned was not because I said something particular, or particularly dangerous in my posts, and I don't believe my language was  offending either (I merely mentioned their obvious head-up-in-the-ass problem but 1. it was only in the last of a long series of averagely polite posts that were being deleted one after the other for NO reason, 2. it was, sadly for them, just the plain truth).

Heck I didn't even mention the SFV, for I  did not intend it for me to be there in order to just be silly and pointlessly annoyoing. I didn't say anything new, nor I intended to, what I wanted was to instead just keep reposting Hecubus' post asking for explanations because I truly couldn't - and still can't - accept that a post simply gets fucking DELETED in a forum where they otherwise sugarcoat in a sickly way every thing about their supposedly welcoming and warm selves (and their special, oh so sweet corner of the world). I never understood deleting ANY posts whatsoever, actually, and I can't bring myself to accept that or to even try and start a conversation with people who not only do so, but do it in a painfully idiotic, gleeful and self-satisfied manner, like it's some kind of particularly smart and funny joke. So I did the way I did because I didn't care a flying fuck about the chance of being banned, but these people have managed  to disgust me to no end nonetheless *insert barfing icon here*

So yeah maybe they did back down. They still suck big time, unfortunately  :mrgreen:

They actively stalk other forums looking for their members and monitoring those members' posts. If you post something they don't like you get banned. I'm actually surprised they still haven't banned me, what with me being dangerous and all.   :D

Pretty much if you're not under their thumb then you're a threat to the ones that are brainwashed with their twisted ideals. Bam! Instant ban.

Nice, 'friendly' community spirit eh?  :lol:

I'm kinda surprised they haven't banned me - and they haven't.  An_na posted in that thread, and I don't think they've banned her either - but nor have they replied. :wink:

Lemon Party and Meatspin aren't all that bad compared to other stuff I've seen.  Just strange porn.

You guys need to hit up the pain series.  Then you'll have set up for yourself a nice little foundation for immunity.  The Internet moves on.  Almost everyone has seen the Power 5.  :wink:

Unless you are offended by gay sex, meatspin and lemonparty are pretty tame. On the other hand, goatse and tubgirl  :shock:

I thought Tubgirl was set up--it's like orange juice or something.

She's wearing a mask and her crotch is censored.  Tee-hee.

Hopefully so!

Goatse however... *cringes* it looks a bit more real...ewwie...damn the person who mentioned that! That image is forever embedded in my head  :cry:

If you ever want to be really disturbed, just go to moid.org. Most of the stuff on that site makes tubgirl, goatse and lemonparty seem normal.

Goat Sea.

So far I haven't seen anything that makes me cringe, but I could be slow and there's something happening to my computer without my knowledge.  Too many images to look at as well.

Furry porn.  Hentai.  Some lady with giant nipples and twenty vaginae.  Shit.  Dickgirls.  Impossibly huge breasts.  Mutilated bodies.

Oh yeah, I'm sleeping well tonight.  :wink:

First of all, I fully support replacing Simbella with Arselickers. Seems appropriate! It pisses me off how they act over there. The raging hypocrisy, and that stupid mile-long post where he compared filesharing to genocide? People feel -pain- just at seeing SFV or PMBD written somewhere? What the hell!

Second, meatspin isn't that bad. Just good ol' gay sex. ^^ Tubgirl however... *shudder* -_-

Have you seen the pain series on ED?

Some of that will make the Power 5 look very tame and commonplace.

Kind of going back on topic here. So having nothing better to do (as usual, being someone who lounges around online all day and night) I wandered over to the Arselicker forum, where I do have an account. And oh. My. God. The so-called 'Hug Factory'?! Okay sure, some of the threads there are reasonable. But others are just... I mean are they serious? When you're having a very personal issue, and I'm talking 'a close relative died' kind of issue, do you go on a board where over 8000 people are registered to get sympathy?

Maybe I'm being insensitive. I don't know. But some things are just personal. Ever heard of a blog?

That's what I was talking about. What the hell kind of stupid thing is that? Does one actually feel a need to talk to complete strangers when having a personal crisis? It's just pathetic. I never saw the point of that crap, I thought it was a Sim download forum.

My. Gawd.

I haven't been to Simbella's since Sims 1 days, and I didn't do the forum thing then, just downloaded. I had no idea all this shite was going on. Jeezus.

I just tried to join, actually, since I'd never done so. The TOS seemed a bit bitchy. "We can delete your account without having to prove a reason as to why," or some such baloney. 'If we find you've downloaded 50 things and only have a post count of 5, we're deleting you...' blah blah blah. What ridiculousness.

Coincidentally, I got my registration all filled out, clicked submit, and it took me to the home page with a message saying 'We've halted all new accounts, please try back in a couple of days.'

Mkay.  :roll:

Meatspin is mostly funny.  Tubgirl is clever social commentary.

I never understood why they would want to make people post at simbella.
Are you that lonely? Maybe some people want to get back to playing and don't have time to stay online posting idle chit chat all freakin day. :? If I have something to say that's fine, but damn I shouldn't be forced to because I would like a couple objects. :roll:

I cant seem to recall what SFV is but anyway, I registered on that forum, but thought it was boring and left.  Hell I have been banned on TSR before.  But only a week!  :lol:  Banning doesnt stop you from PM's though.

I told the TSR Staff they were acting illegally for asking for money for content on their site.   :lol:
