I would just like to speak up here for the moderators.
Please remember that Chin Leng and Bee Lee are running 2 forums, with a huge number of users on either one. Imagine trying to cater for 100's, if not 1000's, of members on very limited manpower and resources.
Why are you being so rude to the people who are providing you with a FREE service? Have you emailed the moderators to volunteer your services if you're so unhappy with the system? Many times Chin Leng and Bee Lee have written to appeal to users to be more responsible and to follow the rules of the forum, how many of the users have listened?
SMH Unhappy (smhunhappy)/SMH User (smhuser0905), you obviously have a grievance against the mods, and if you want to flame them, then do it openly, rather than set up one ID after another, hiding behind a username that does not give your identity.
Use one username, in your post state the ID that was banned, and ask politely why your account was banned, so that you're seen to be unafraid and seriously wish to know why, since you do think you're innocent. Better still, get someone already established in SMH who can vouch for you, and is willing to help you, to post requesting for a reinstatement and why your account should be reinstated. If you can't find anyone willing to help you, well....
All these charges of double standards and unfairness would only be said when you're the one that's been banned, ie, 'caught'. What about those who were not reported, and were doing business, they're happily taking in money, without following the rules of the forum.
Let's take this scenario - One lady, let's call her, A1, are one of the many mommies who use only 1 MRT card to bring 3 children+herself, across the double gates of the MRT stations. Another lady, A2, sees this and tries the same thing with herself+1 child, but gets caught. She starts accusing the MRT staff of unfair treatment, saying that if other people can do it with even more children, why can't she? The MRT staff stands firm, saying that rules are rules, and that since A2 was caught red-handed, she has to be fined. A2 grumbles a lot, but in the end still has to pay the penalty. Does she start ranting to other MRT users, write to the papers, or accuse MRT Corp by threatening/abusing them? I won't think so. In fact, she'd just curse her bad luck for getting caught, and may even try to do it again, but this time, being even more sneaky about it, so that she won't get caught. Did A2 report A1 when she saw A1 doing it with 3children? I don't think so. And MRT Corp (whichever MRT Line you're using) earns millions a year!
Apply that scenario to this forum, and see if you can tell which lady you are. Then do ask yourself, why are you angry, and is it fair to Chin Leng and Bee Lee to abuse them so?
I support Chin Leng and Bee Lee not just because they have kindly helped to support a forum that helps mummies, but also because I've been the victim of people who set up bulk purchases, but didn't deliver. I appreciate that there are some users who genuinely just want to buy something and so set up a BP, but where do we draw the line? The ones who make use of the forum to do business for free certainly don't use names like "freeloader", "cheatinguser", "ActuallyImABusiness". So help out the moderators, point out those business threads pretending to be kind souls to help mommies buy for a BP. That helps Chin Leng and Bee Lee, and the forum in the long run.
