    A 'competing' (not competition to me, but I am to them) forum has gone to an absolute low, and I am quite astonished at how low they have gone!
    Said forums moderator is a member of a larger forum, which has a number of private, paid forums. Forums moderator let forums admin use her account to access these private forums. Forum owner used this information and posted it on one of her forums, and emailed the person who the information belonged to and invited the person to view the information and get to know others and continue to share her story. Person was quite upset, and forums manager got banned from all private forums on the bigger forum.

    To add to that i found out through google analytics that my PERSONAL blogs url was on this persons forum, and i had not put it there. Could not find it either, although 6 people had visited my blog from this forum. I asked about it, it got denied. A hour later i was then told that apparently some one spammed the forum with a link to my personal blog, and the person wasn't told in case it made her upset. Boo hoo. Why would i, or some one else, spam a small 10 person wanna be forum with a personal blog? Its just dumb. They were having a little b*tch about me no doubt.

    And now to add to that, i do not feel like i am able to openly post here because im apparently very interesting to read about :)

    so how would you handle something like this, if you can? Im 20 and the other forums admin is close to 40 i think, you would think she were 20 and i was 40 the way she goes on.

    omg i know how your feeling cause i am having similar trouble with our rivals.

    its sad really as the other admin and her minions (mods and several members) are in their 40s and im 18 and most of our members are quite young too, compared to them, although our oldest member is 60 and she has gone onto the other forum we post on to tell them off.

    therye really immature for adults, even banning members who join our forum, and not allowing any of us join their forum or any of their mods forums. and they make us out to be the bad guys and try and troll us on the bigger forum we go on (theyre a group who think they are even above the forums mods, and turn every thread off topic even though their forum has their own thread on there to spam and chat on)

    thing is, i joined their forum once, ages ago, and it was the worst forum i have ever been on, bad spelling in forum descriptions, rarely moderated, the language used by members and staff is awful...)
