LadySaoirse Introduction - Page 2

Hi LadySaoirse! Nice to have you with us.

Just a little note: To keep various subject matter in the same category your most recent post has been moved here: Source 7 as the one you post your thoughts in is really geared towards Mormon doctrine concerning the matter in other words they are theorizing why Mormon teachings concerning the matter. In the new thread you can focus on your own beliefs and emphasis of the Bible.

Introduction LadySaoirse

You're the moderator, so you must act as you see fit. I have no problem with accepting the site's 'rules' or protocols, however, I do feel confused about your decision.
At the top I made a brief one paragraph reference to a post below with multiple scriptural references and responses. The remainder of my article was about "WHY...Children are Abused" and disabled children. I don't understand how that fits under a question about Abusive Spouses?

I thought we were discussing "Why" children are abused or disabled; about our opinions and feelings regarding these issues, and I saw other people expressing frustration or similar 'feelings' about why these things occur, some of these included multiple scriptural references.

I believed, as a formerly abused person, I was offering my opinions on topic "WHY" and ways of coping with it, as well as ways it has blessed me.

Over half my post concerns disabled children and working with them, so I'm not sure how that fits under a Question about Abusive Spouses?

I don't feel a post dealing mostly with the effects of attitude and then remainder disabled/abused children belongs under Section 7 a question "Dealing with abusive spouses...." but you are the moderator, not me. Perhaps my post should just be deleted, since it doesn't seem to fit anywhere according to your views of topic division, or should be divided into 2 different posts to fit your topics.

I am still feeling my way thru this site, finding it a bit much for me to understand even how to reach topics...I am computer-challenged and struggling to grasp how things are structured.

For example, I'd like to participate in RPG - but I've never done such a thing on-line and haven't the vaguest clue...feel like I'd just make a huge mess of it. No one to really advise me on it. Can't even figure if we have a way to communicate with each other on the site. Plan to spend more time exploring site to try to understand how it works. Had to visit I'll parents and off-line mostly last week.

The site 'set-up' is frustrating me, but perhaps it's because I'm going thru a very difficult time in my life, seems nothing going right for me; if it can go wrong, it is; so I'm a bit on edge and low-frustration toleratance right now. One person in particular is stalking me and someone said he's 'cyberbullying' me (among other stressful acts toward me)...I just know not a week goes by without him doing something to hurt or upset me for months now. Calls to police accomplish NOTHING. But you don't need to hear my problems.

But, put it this way, I do like this site (what I understand of it) and the members I've encountered and am determined to get it figured out. So, guess you're stuck with me, unless I'm booted, and you'll probably be sending me more corrections in the future since I don't understand your protocols yet - asking for your patience and guidance.

By the way, I am NOT Mormon. I don't know much about Mormons.
I am a Christian who follows the Bible, that's it.

Thank you. God Bless.

Hi again LadySaoirse. Sorry for your frustration and difficult time. Let me see if I can clear it up a bit.

We have many boards or sections for topics so for instance if you are Catholic you post what you know in the Catholic board. If you are Mormon, then you post in the Mormon board and so on. Since you are not Mormon your input into that thread will be based on you as not a Mormon whereas they're looking to discuss abuse of children from a Mormon stand point, understand? This is the way things are structured here, it prevents overlapping of ideas that spoil a trend of discussion. For instance if a Mormon went to the Catholic board and started speaking about Mormon ideas that will be kind of unfair for the Catholics who want to discuss things from their point of view.

The same is true with religion on the whole, its kept only in the religion based boards so for instance you would not go to the business board and talk about god, its just not the place (that's just an example).

Probably in your case if you just want to talk about your abuse as a child or children you work with then you can use the Psychology board, I'm sure there are topics like that there, but its not for religion. Hence I moved your post to the Bible board.

We do have our policies and rules all written up, you should look over them: Constructive Posting Policy.

For the role-playing games that's real simple. First you select which RPG you want to join and then read the rules or requirements. If you tell me which RPG then I can link you to the threads about it.

Hello LadySaoirse I read that you like to play RPG's but are having a hard time navigating. I will post a link below where you can create a Dungeons & Dragons character to play in the Kamdrogh game.

If you run into trouble you can ask me for help here Source 1 .

Also I read you wrote about abuse above. I don't know about the moved post except for that it happened to me a few times. It took me about 3 months before I sorta got the hang this site but it was worth it.

So yeah , I was abused sexually when I was 4 by a neighbor. I'm 32 and still don't forgive my mother. There is a lot that goes into all that but I just wanted to say I've been there. It's not something you just "get over". It's 28 years later and I'm more mad now than I was even 5 years ago.

Introduction LadySaoirse

It's actually not difficult at all there are loads helps around and you can use the sitemap if you're lost. I personally just use the index because I can see all the boards at a glance and what's been updated.

LadySaoirse Introduction

Hi there LadySaoirse. You posted that in the 'What Video Game To Cross Over' and addressed it to Persephone. If you have questions please ask them here, don't use the topics of discussion for that because its like hijacking a thread and its unfair to the original topic starter. Now to address your problem please carefully look over this: Source 6 it explains in depth how and when to use them. For smilies you are only allowed one per post. After inserting it you can move it to where you desire in the post.

I tried "Support" and "Administration" to ask about the problem, but it wouldn't allow me to access those. So I addressed it to Persephone as a reply to her post on that thread, since she was the person monitoring the thread and advising me on proper procedure in that thread area, her comment was not sent to my Introduction thread. I thought things must be dealt with where they occurred. I didn't realize I need to use my Introduction Thread for support problems and certainly didn't intend to 'hijack' someone else's thread.
To be honest, I'm a bit confused about what constitutes improper posting on this site, since I see other members making 'off topic' remarks or having person-to-person, one-on-one posts (conversations) to each other on other threads at times without any moderating comments. Still trying to figure out where the line is on this.

I have read the rules more than once and am trying to get the hang of what's ok here and what isn't. Sometimes I just don't make posts that I would otherwise make because I feel unsure if I'm stepping on toes or what is considered appropriate by this site's Administration; sometimes don't pursue interaction with other members as I'd wish because I'm not sure if it's ok or proper procedure; yet I haven't found other ways to interact with members other than on the thread where they post. I'm not allowed to send direct messages to other members, for whatever reason.

I've never had problems on other sites with these types of issues, but am working to decipher your desired limits because I do like this site.

Apology to Oliron if I offended or disrupted his thread.

LadySaoirse, I think you might be getting flustered by everything. Let me see if I can assist you.

First you need to realize that Persephone never said anything in that thread, I did and it was a general message because corsava replied to your message and tried going way off topic into viewing games on Youtube, etc. Which had nothing to do with the original topic.

Second, Admin even welcomed you in this thread and specifically said;

Third, no you cannot private message anyone unless you are an upgraded member. The person you are contacting also has to be upgraded, in this community everything is public.

Once you keep on topic there should be no reason to fear giving your input. Its when you go off into a tangent that problems may arise. Now you said you saw posts where people went off topic and nothing was done. If you tell me the exact title of the thread I will look it over.
