[starchild]

Thank you   Enjoy planning!

I was just curious, how long is a temporary ban issued for? I looked throught the thread but never found the answer.

good thread, good info.

 

seriously, mods, you guys do an amazing job of keeping this place supportive and drama-free. i have never found a website where flaming and rediculousness isn't running rampant, and it is so refreshing. i used to be a mod on a car-enthusiast website, and you take a lot of abuse for doing your job. i was so hated by so many people who had never met me, it was insane. anyway, thanks for keeping this place going! i think a lot of us would be pretty lost in planning without it!

Ahh if you've been a mod then you totally get it!  I'm glad you find BDW to be a pleasant and supportive forum.  A few jokers pop up now and then but our members do a great job of flagging them and getting our attention fast so fortunately between our members and admin we are able to get rid of the time-wasters and move along fairly quickly.

 

Thanks for posting and happy planning

Yeah there's always a troll here or there, but it's squashed so quickly here, that's what I love. Thanks!

thanks for this...i think alot of people get upset because there are rules in place but they would not realize how insane and unorganized the forum would be without rules.  We DO NOT like to babysit people but know that is what needs to be done for the good of the forum.

Thanks for clarifying some of the misconceptions!

Ok, I've read through the thread briefly, and cannot believe that people would do things on this site to get banned!! This site has been a saviour to me and my FI, and am not sure what I would do without it. I may go into withdrawal after the wedding! I feel like these posts are from close friends, and totally value their opinions. Thank you ladies for keeping this alive!

ya know, you don't have to leave after the wedding ... I was married almost 4 years ago!  lol
