Well, isn't it "useless" to complain here about something that happened someplace else -- and you didn't even try to find out what was going on with your account.. -?
Ever hear the old saying about not assuming things -?

If you're having a problem online with people, you're supposed to be enough of an adult to handle it amongst yourselves; either publicly or in PM.
Mods & Admins are not babysitters.. but if it's really getting out of hand, you should have PM'd someone about it. Mods and Admins all have "real" jobs too; they can't catch every single thread, every little "fight." I'm sure mods here, and at HQ, GlamSlam, PrinceFams, etc. all have experienced this as well.

You should have sent a PM to one of the Administrators if you were having trouble with a Moderator. Or an email to NPGU if you were having trouble logging in. Read the NPGU Announcements forum for rules, guidelines, and instructions.

If you can't get into forums -- and don't actually see a message specifically stating that you have been banned.. you're not banned.
Some users, including myself, have had trouble logging in due to upgrades the Forums' hosting company made to their servers; it conflicts with some web browsers. Clear out all of your cookies and you should be fine.

I don't know who Genesia is, but they are correct about the new Chat process. All one has to do is request a new account (as is clearly indicated at chat log in page and within the forums) and one of the Admins will grant access if you aren't on the ban list.

Can we stop with the lies??
- Most troublemakers and internet trolls are guys (no offense, fellas ).. No female members have been banned in *quite* some time. There is no NPGU member named Lilith, so who knows who this person is @ NPGU
- No one has EVER been banned because a friend of a Mod didn't like them.
- There are no new moderators
- Most of the mods and admins happen to be straight -- not that that should matter to anyone.. unless they're a sad little homophobe. None are "angry"
well, maybe once a month if dealing with multiple trolls..


As for cliques... Has anyone looked it up in the dictionary lately? Like each site doesn't have one.. or two... or eight. GMAB already..

NPGU welcomes all.. you don't even have to like Prince. Only pre-requisite is that you adhere to the Guidelines posted in the Announcements forum. Yeah.. if somebody posts something.. bizarre, they may get teased or questioned about it.. but how can one be online, anywhere, and not have a thick[er] skin by now? Especially on all of these Prince sites.


What is it with people that they prefer to listen to and believe gossip and lies, rather than trying to find out something for themselves -?
Ever think that perhaps the people perpetrating the BS are the ones who cause the BS in the first place?

Someone else posted something about threads made here and at HQ when NPGMC went on hiatus in the wee hours of July 4th.. how [regular/frequent] members didn't want all the displaced NPGMCers coming to 'their' sites (even though most of us already were long-time members of org & HQ; we just did the majority of our posting @ NPGMC)... and nearly a year later, peole still want to rag on us for making one?? Wow..... maturity, class and logic are just oozing out of some of these posts.

If there is some of NPGU moderators I apologize and I would b glad 2 b back hoping 2 find positivity and RESPECT. I will do my best 4 first 2 respect the others....

Wow.

So prince.org's GD has now become the underground NPG's site discussion forum.

Yeah.

This thread is pretty funny though.

Well, the kind of funny that people who love horror movies like.

Like, people who like to be scared.

I totally resent what you've said about cliques.

I fucking love the shit out of my cliques!!! They're like uber rad!

i met a bunch of purple underground people here in chicago recently. it was like that episode of seinfeld when elaine met bizarro jerry, bizarro george and bizarro kramer. it was just like an org invasion, only i didn't recognize anyone!
that said, they were all nice.

i'm glad they're encountering forum/chat drama, though. it's a sign of a successful site. congrats!

thanks (I think)

PositivityNYC said:

well, i look at it this way. if everyone agrees on everything all the time, you don't really have a lot to work with. if lots of folks are always up in arms about something all the time, you know they'll be back!

I'm sure there's a law of physics to support my opinion, I just don't know what it's called.

Anx said:

I disagree.

It's the Purpler Under-erground

my thinking thing hurts

Now I recognize 2 have been pretty silly....

Its all SOLVED... I hadnt been banned and the mod was kind with me despite I wasnt deserving it so much...
