Look, moderators are human too @Captain24 . Despite there being an AI part to moderation, there is also a human part. As with all humans, there are those we are closer to than others, and there are those we get along with better than others - and that's totally okay. You take what works and you leave what doesn't.
For example, to be very honest, I find it very easy to talk to you. Others may see this as 'favouritism'. Yet looking at how I post, I connect with all members. And those that respond more often, I respond back more often. Does that even make sense? But yes, things like this can cause issues on the forums too.
The main thing is, each member is entitled to have adjustments made as part of their access to their forums. And yes, for some, we need to remove forum access for some time in order to ensure the community is kept safe. But with these members, other supports are in place that only that member knows of.
So yeah, this is some of the work we do in the background.
As for Ruby [dog], I think she's still okay. We are going to monitor her for 24-48 hours to see how she goes. Fingers crossed she vomited it all out. It was a lot of toxic meds there.
I don't know what the computer room looks like. I'll have a look tomorrow.
Oh, and when I travelled, I brought one pair of shoes and thongs.. Ruby chewed up my thongs, so now I only have 1 pair of shoes lol... I may go into the city to buy some shoes tomorrow... not what I was expecting....
I'm going to be off in about 15 minutes. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Yeah.. I get it. Maybe they just don’t have anytime for me @tyme. I need to just stay away on weekends I guess. I have tried. But there is just no support.
I find it easy to talk to you too. I guess it’s hard to communicate with someone if they don’t respond back. I do get what you are saying. Not everyone gets along with everyone. Just like in life.
Im glad there is still support for members. Theres a lot more than what we see. I’d be interested in help with helping me to feel safe not unsafe but I guess just staying away would work.
Im hoping she stays ok for you. It’s really stressful when you don’t know how they are.
Hahaha… it’s a good excuse to go shopping though! For me I hate shopping though.
I mowed the lawn today so tomorrow I’d like to do housework and bath the dogs. Oh and my kitchen is currently tidy!!

I’ve done a bit today @Jynx
The house is clean, I washed the floors for the first time since Christmas, the dogs are bathed, I’ve had a shower and washed my hair. I haven’t washed it for 2 weeks. So I guess it’s something.
I want to feel less alone. I’ve seen that you have read a few posts.

@Captain24 wow!! Your ability to be productive knows no bounds!! Wish I had your chores-ethic haha.
Yeah just been catching up. Really hearing that you're feeling quite uncertain and that perhaps some more support with a posting plan feels like it could help?
