Hi all .

I get real upset at times, I know I am a female in a mans world on this site, and on the whole I have been welcomed, of course I have mete the odd male who thinks he rules the world and usually I respect his views.

Recently I introduced a female friend to the chat room on her first night she met one of the rare guys who told her in no uncertain way, females are not welcome here and she should go, this upset her I think it is such a shame to be so bigoted and treat new members in this way.

I must add most people I have mete are great and I have had a lot of laughs here, and through a rather difficult time when my partner was in hospital I received a lot of support from friends hear.

Hi Jenny! First of all,I apologise for some of the ignorance of some people that visit here.The Chat room is open to everybody and some that are not members.Most of us TG folk's are very happy to have you and remember,we

want to change our sex to a women.So all the more reason to have you on board.I,also have had problems in chat and many genetic females visit with

made up names to hide there gender.Don't let a few spoil it,we TG folk's appreciate you.Please tell your friend to return.Big Hugs,Leona Lee

Jenny i feel so bad that happened and if you ever find out who said that let me know we will ban that person their is no room for that kind of hate here in the chat room or the archive.Jenny you are a dear friend of mine and i love you dearly and again i am so sorry this happened.

When i go in the chat room i see my friends i dont care what gender they are we are all friends and thats the way it should be.

Jenny tell your friend to come back and see us again and if anyone says anything negetive we will take action that will stop this.

Jenny,

First of all let me appologize for the treatment your friend recieved in the chat room. If ever anyone has a problem with another person in the chat room, please tell one of the operators immediately. There is no need to ask an operator first before talking to them in private for this type of offence. If there is no operator in the room at the time, please write the name down or send an Email to: http://www.eunuch.org (http://www.eunuch.org/).

I speak for all the operators when I say we do not allow this type of behavior in the chat room.

We have rules for the chat room. This other person clearly violated them and your right to be there as well.

Rule #3:

Personal attacks, flaming, ethnic bashing, derogatory remarks, harassment, or talk of politics will get you kicked with moderator review for re-instatement.

Jenny, I do hope your friend decides to stop back in the chat room again. All are welcome to the chat room.

Jenny,

I support what my two ops said, we dont allow that kind of treatment to anybody in the chat room. I wll say again, if this happens to you tell an op asap, or give me the persons name and time of day, date. Send it to me at [email protected]

I will take action .

Riverwind, head chat room op,

Wow. This is wonderful. Here is a place where bigots do not rule and the powers that be defend Jenny. She is made to feel welcome here.

Hugs,

Kelly

Unless that person were an operator, he had no authority to force her to leave. Staying would have turned the tables delightfully in her favor.

Everyone is welcome at the chat room except for a small minority that are bigoted, encourge others to hurt themselves, are minors, are rude, etc.

The rules for the chat are very small. The golden rule is respect each other and chat.

There's always one person that is looking for trouble.

don't let that idiot drive your friend away.This site is a

second home to many of us and I have alot of friends here.So if that happens

again please report it.Take care,[twin]

How awful. Do try to bring your friend back around, there are more likeminded people here than you might think.

Nomater where you go there will alway be a bully, Idot, Bigot, and/or a ASSHole. You can't let them chase you away, then they win. Have them come back and report the %&$# to a chat room operator if it happens again. There are alot of trolls out there.

Even though I am aware that these things happen here as well as in the rest of the world, I am always disappointed when they happen in a place where we all have a reason to be more accepting than in most of the world. I can only offer my personal sorrow as an apology. As the more elequent posters have said: '' trust the chat ops, they're good people".-- FLO

Would it be possible to put a little "Report Abuse" tab somewhere easy to click on to handle dolts like that idiot? I don't have any patience with twits like that here.

It's called a reputation. Feedback received determines the number of bars under one's name. Then you can use your ignore list to ignore those you don't wish to read.

Does that work in the chat room as well?

I like several of the people I run into at chat, but invariably *every* time I log onto chat and stay on longer than five minutes, someone comes on and PMs me asking me what I'm "into."

Gah! I'm not here looking for a date. I don't want or need a "lover" or someone who wants to snip me as part of some fetish. When it comes to it, I won't do it any other way than medically and professionally. I know its not the same complaint as the original -- and if I saw someone give someone crap like that I'd give them my verbal what-for -- but I wish there were a way to automatically block private messages. They're a bit grating and I'm often on when there's no human moderator on, just the Blah bot. :/

And P.S., is there a document that explains the bars thing? Does a "dark block" like mine indicate negative reputation or something?

Chabiabos as an op and a person that gets his shair of pms if i dont want to chat in privet i just tell them or i dont payany attention to them.Now if this is to much of a problem just let one of the ops know who is bothering you and we will be glad to have a chat with them.This is a problem that seams to always be with us all we cane do is ask them to ask permission first and if thats a problem we can do more.

re a document that explains the bars thing? Does a "dark block" like mine indicate negative reputation or something?I'm not sure if there is another web site for Vbulletin that would explain things like this, but rest assured your reputaion is in fine standing. Hover your mouse pointer over the small colored blocks under your name/avatar (or anyone else's name) to see what type of reputaion you have. Alternately, you can go to your user control panel to see how many points you have and your reputation as well.

Knights in Shinning Armour

Wow so many knights in shinning armour rushing to my side, Including Sag on his gallant tractor.

I am honoured to have so many friends, I Have told Joan to contact the administer next time it happens, But I have to be honest I am a guest in this chat room as a female, I know it is basically a mans world in here and all I can say is thanks for putting up with me even if I do have to tell some to go stand in the corner, And in extreme cases I do threaten to smack there bottoms, and I have had many a good laugh there after all I go there to unwind so to speak,

Thanks for the support.

I love you all

Jenny

Jenny, there are all kinds of people in the chat room and ops of all types as well, there are ladys that have come into the chat and a couple are even ops.

Everybody is welcome and the ops will weed out the bad apples.

Jenny,

I welcome your input anytime. Are you the Nurse Jenny that I chatted with almost a year ago? She also lived in England.

P.S.

I sent you a private message.
