hi spudster,mr spud should recognise that flaw in his kids,i havent read what you said but maybe they sabataged you hahahha,i read an apoligee by some one the other day,i no myself i always had to apoligise and they were all doing what i did,drink,but i was the a s s .shame mwo,we all have an addiction,maybe you should check your staff and see if they mite have a problem,i said the same at AA,maybe wehave to find are own world,multiply,which we do quite well,have a wonderful day,:goodjob:for sticking around,:thanks:for being are spudster gyco

SORRY!!!!!

Make your voice heard

Many people post drunk here (often it is clear they are drunk, and often they admit it freely), and as long as they are not abusive, I have never heard of something like this. In fact, such posts are encouraged specifically in the Need Help ASAP forum (which I initiated after I needed help in a desperate situation caused by extreme drinking. Obviously many desperate people who post there are drunk.)

..."(We) respectfully ask that you not post while drinking"...

What is this website for, then, only sober former alcoholics? Maybe it should be called "I Found My Way Out", to clarify that it is a support group for people who have successfully become sober, not for people who are still struggling to become sober.

While I am puzzled by people "reporting" spuddle for being clearly drunk, more than that, I am puzzled (and outraged) at the message spuddle got from MWO. ("(We) respectfully ask that you not post while drinking").

This does not sound like a message in response to people being concerned about spuddle (as another MWO member suggested on another thread). If the MWO monitors had received anxious requests from worried members about spuddle, and asking how to contact her, they could hardly have chosen a more inappropriate (and irresponsible) response than "(We) respectfully ask that you not post while drinking".

It is extremely important that, in future, other members don't get alienated just for posting while drinking (as long as they are not abusive) ... they may feel unwanted and humiliated -- and, unlike spuddle, they may very well never come back.

edit: ladyjan and others have suggested this message perhaps did not come from MWO Support, but from another member, posing as MWO Support. This sounds entirely plausible, and I hope it's true. I hope the moderators will either chip in here or start a new thread, confirming that it was not MWO who sent the mean-spirited message. Also, if the PM was from another member, spuddles should report him/her to the monitor. I have received a coupe of abusive PMs in the past, which I forwarded to RJ (who was the only monitor at the time), and she looked into it -- usually banned the member.

SORRY!!!!!

I have just read this and even though I dont know Spuds yet, I am absolutely outtraged and bemused by MWO sending the PM to her. How on earth do they expect people to get sober if the criteria is to never post while drinking...simply defeats the purpose of this site completley....do they want to make this site redundant. I for one will be posting a protest to the moderators about the appalling way that Spuds has been treated.......maybe they should issue us all with a breathalyser unit that we could fit into our computers and then declare an al limit not to be exceeded before posting......for fusks sake...it would have been far more appropriate for the moderators to advise the whinging eejiits to simply not click on the sites that Spuds was posting on...or to advise them to piss off completley and watch Coronation Street instead and leave genuine people with genuine need alone. I urge everyone to write a protest about this.......PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDNT THROW STONES........and Spuds, please do not even consider going away from this site. With ya all the way Spuds....Janeen

[ladyjan]

SORRY!!!!!

Spuds,
just a thought, may sound crazy..but how did you receive the message from MWO..??
email or pm..did you check the sender??
it signs off from MWO, but is there any poss you was still whoozy and it wasn't from them ???????
dunno may sound silly, but it is a strange thing for them to send to somebody not being attacking or abusive against a member..just ranting against the keyboard and we all knew that, and wasn't offended or shocked, well I know I wasn't and I reckon just about all that know you wasn't either..just a strange thing for them to do..
maybe got a new Moderator...??????????? should sack'em if that's the case...:H

[ladyjan]

SORRY!!!!!

coz also none of your posts or threads have been deleted...

[sapphire1]

SORRY!!!!!

Well, I have sent a PM to the moderators, so will be interesting to see what the outcome will be

[sunshinedaisies]

SORRY!!!!!

Spuds - I am so sorry that you came back to that post - as the others have said - maybe it wasn't from MWO Support - can you 'reply' to it? I am glad that you came back - I would not have clicked on your e-mail if I hadn't chosen to - I was worried about you! Others don't HAVE to click on a post of yours - it is their choice. Hang in there with the majority here dear spuds - hope you are feeling better - oh, and I don't blame you in the slightest for being cross about the wedding and stuff!! Hugs to you,

Love, Sun xx

[sapphire1]

SORRY!!!!!

LIke you Zen, I find it hard to keep quiet, so if the moderators didnt send the message to spuds, I am barking up the wrong tree...oh well

[ladyjan]

SORRY!!!!!

MWO Support would never mention getting PMs from other people about a member IMHO. They wouldn't pass the buck and say something like that - they would just deal with it.

At least I hope!!!

I think that PM was from another member...

yep Zenners...
that's excatly what I think as well..
I just hope spuds hasn't wiped it from her pm's...maybe she has as her pm box was full, and members were asking her to clear it..so maybe it's gone as well..
but actually she should still have a copy on email as it's sent there as well...
coz when she got it this morn she was prob still blurry and didn't notice who it was from,
just that it was signed from them..
anybody could do that

SPUDS...where are you...??? check it out...???

[Mish]

SORRY!!!!!

All messages of support....none of condemnation (that's our own job, to condemn ourselves).
Pay no attention to that 'one' behind the curtain.
:h Mish :h
