Whats the deal?

Why is this place all of a sudden becoming so populated with "attention seeking rude women"? I say it like that because I almost feel like they are fake accounts. It seems to be a growing trend the last few days. This is a forum for women and men who are parents, going through pregnencies, or ttc. What is the point of creating drama around here? I just don't get it.

I feel the same way, mama.

You have an internet forum filled with hormonal raging bitches who are pregnant, there is bound to be more drama and claws than other places on the internet.

mommy2be20

agreed.

@misskeribabee

As forums, apps, and sites grow, trolls begin to show up. It is a natural, yet sad, occurrence nowadays on the internet. The larger the forum gets, the more fake accounts and made up drama will appear. It's a cycle. I have learned to roll with the punches and laugh at the sad attempts at stirring the drama-pot.

@michelya, I understand that, but its getting ridiculous now. People are posting things just to get a rise out of others. This is not just your typical here and there drama BS. It LOOKS like a lot of it is very intentional. I'm just saying, there is no need for it..

@fingerscrossed, great point! I didn't even stop to think about the trolling thing DUH!!! lol. But on a pregnancy website?? C'mon that is just lame. Oh well my own horomones are getting the best of me on this topic lol..I guess I need to take a pregly break

Smile, shrug, ignore. That's what I have to do for some posts. Then others say something so cool/interesting/entertaining it makes dealing with all the hormonal brats/possible fake accounts worth it. I just stay out of it, though I can't lie, sometimes I read those insane threads just for kicks. And speaking nof kicks, there goes my little fetus...

@FirstTimeDaddy No worries. I am a bit of a geek - video games, blogs, etc. - so sometimes I forget not everyone knows the slang, haha.

Oh, boy! I understand completely that this behavior gets under everyones skin, but creating a discussion for the sole purpose to complain about this behavior is just continuing the cycle. Therefore, I am sinking this discussion. However, if there is any problems, I will have no choice other than to close or delete it. Its okay to vent; I want to make that perfectly clear; but I also want to make it clear that this only creates& continues the exact issues that you're complaining about as well as making the job as moderator more difficult thus making more members bash the moderators for doing their job. I hope this doesn't cause any animosity with anyone, but I am trying to avoid this turning into yet another dilemma. You're free to continue a conversation with each other, but by sinking it means it wont pop up to the top when someone comments on it. Please, no fighting, judging, etc; okay? Thanks!
