Meoh, I wasn't going to comment on this thread but decided I would. The so-called veterans of this board are very patient and generally helpful to newcomers. The mistake that may have been made was either:  1) not to "help" the account "MamaTerri" earlier (as well as a couple of others that popped up at that time) sooner. Help will be explained. OR 2) to have given trust in good faith that this account was a genuine SN player who happened upon this forum

The amount of threads initiated by the MamaTerri account was quite remarkable. And never-ending. I'm not talking about the banter players exchange within a thread, I'm referring to her continual posting of new threads leading players to play the SN game a very specific way. I'm referring to the multitude of times that account holder described exactly how and what they should do in regards to Visiting, which rooms to charge, what TTers like or want....I took an extensive amount of time to "genericize" one of her first lengthy posts and stop it from being "MamaTerri's Guide to the SN Galaxy to being Here is a General Guide About Visiting.

The problem was in giving so much lattitude and trust to this account the participants on this forum at the time (and NOT just the "oldies" as those few accounts refer to us) in the first place. As time went on many participants on this site grew weary and irrated. While Mama Terri refers to this "spamming the board" and a welcome/encouraged thing to do on other forums, I truly question that. I would ask this person, if truly a SN game player and NOT an internet troll/hacker, to reflect on the content she put forth and the NEED for so much repetition of information that existed here. Yes, some key threads were being pushed lower on the topic lists but that was due to the high volume of posts being added by this and a few other accounts that popped up at the same time frame.

Some of the rude comments came out of exasperation. Should the players here who were bothered so much have spoken up sooner and gentler before the explosions, probably yes. But it was becoming more clear that this account might be a spammer and not amount of help or advice was going make a difference. There is a huge difference between giving advice to new players or tips that worked for you and giving explicit directions. I tried to make that clear and in a very civil way. I helped countless new visitors to this forum including those who took that support and then came back with unkind remarks.

Meoh, you have your work cut out for you. The "trolls/troublemakers" will come in like lambs but will continue to wreak their havoc. You will not be able to stop it. I truly feel for the player like I once was when I first arrived at this site. Innocent and naive to the scams and multitude of accounts created by individuals who only thrive on controversy and drama. There is zero doubt that it will continue. That is why I am leaving. Not because my feelings are hurt. Wikia/Fandom may be a den of iniquity on the internet. It is not for me but I do not regret figuring this out on my own.

The fact that this same person wrote this thread in continuence of pushing his/her agenda is not at all a surprise.
