Awesome work guys, Saph your detective skills never cease to amaze. I agree that this is the same person and the email addresses used with the name *smith* makes it super obvious.

Super sorry you had to deal with this in chat last night.. We definitely need to introduce a kick feature or an auto log off ban feature to stop constant trolling in the chat and potentially other areas on the site. However as with anything new features take time to make and test.. but we need this function to be able to moderate effectively.

For now just keep logging everything you can and keep IP banning this individuals accounts, frustrating, but the best we can do for the mo. Maybe they will get bored *fingers crossed*.

Hey Squish,

I was in chat for some of this so can validate that what squish said happened is factual.

I personally think this person needs to receive an official warning, recorded via the ban logs. I am happy to do this if you feel uncomfortable, as sweetandsourchicken is bound to take it as some sort of personal attack. Her behaviour in chat is not acceptable and she is only there to solicit for money or food, with no genuine desire to engage with people. We really don't need these sort of people on the site.

As for the talk about drugs in chat.. As chat logs are not saved and not permanent on the site we can be a little more lenient. Obviously if there was forum thread or pictures featuring drug taking, this could be searchable off site and would then potentially be an issue for FF.

I have spoken with H about the example given in rule 14 as I feel this is no longer appropriate. Marijuana is legal in some states and countries now. So this will be changed to state no talk about Class A drugs. So feel free to talk about it.. but obviously no pressurising people to take, sell, promote, or request drugs.

I think it's fine for you to have a wishlist on your profile.. I personally don't and it's not something I would consider doing.

As long as there is no expectation that FF members have to purchase wishlist items in able to interact with you.. and that you don't promote your wishlist on forums and chat you're golden. There's nothing worse than when you think you've clicked with someone only to find out they have been grooming you to buy things for them, and have no genuine desire to talk with you.

Hi Saph, have to admit I didn't look into this too much last night when I replied to the email.

I have IP banned the 'almostfit2019' account. On good faith that this person was telling the truth... although it did seem a little odd.

I have to admit not sure how easy it is to get onto a site using a different IP.. but seems like a hassle if they are doing it to prove a point. Hopefully they will just bugger off. Sounds like an attention seeker to me and if they no longer get our attention they will get bored.

Ban or not to ban..

The sharade that is the forum titled 'the binging bartender'.

I get his point.. we should allow members to talk about fat fetishism and experiences without shutting it down. Influx who all this is directed at is a little blunt and tbh I have read some of her posts and thought it was on the risque side telling people to grow up and such.

ANYWAY.. FemaleFatAdmirer is currently being allowed to run rampant on his pathetic little forum post. Tbh.. this is now beyond trolling. We wouldn't put up with posts of this nature from other trolls.. just because he is a member doesn't mean he can act however he pleases.

I don't want to issue a ban if the other mods don't agree. I want a sort of vote if you will.. Is a ban worth it to show him he can't act like this.. * i personally think he needs a time out to get iver hus issues* or will this antagonise him further upon his return to the site and instead just let it run its course?

Thoughts please!

I completely understand the stigma around this interest and site. At the end of the day it really is up to you.. Nobody will think badly of you whatever you decide, most importantly do what's most comfortable for you.

The usual response to being found online here by family, friends or colleagues is.. Well they must have been on the site for a reason.. As in they must be into this sort of thing themselves to be able to stumble across your profile.

My personal experience of this site.. I have been on and off a few times, but basically been a member for over 10 years. Always had a picture and have never had anyone from different social circles discover me online.

Hope that helps!

Have received a chat log from BBWcreator82 about this member.

Have given them a warning, for using derogatory language about fat people. Wasn't enough chat log provided to issue a ban. *handy copy and paste job potentially hiding instigating and antagonising comments from BBWcreator82*

Just keep an eye out please. Thanks.
