As someone who loves snarking on both TBP & alicia, I was very VERY put off by the holier than thou attitudes in the alicia sub after birdies got shut down about the levels of snark. “Oh that’s why we have the rules that we have” you are not better than any of us, k thanks! There are still plenty of comments daily on that sub that teeter the line of being fatphobia, let’s not act above it all. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest & I’m glad to be here. ❤️

    Hmmmm…it seems you are remembering things the way you wanted them to be and not actually how they were. We actually had a rule against calling Sarah a pervert/child predator and the mods stuck by it. I removed posts like that all the time. We did NOT post images of her children. They were always covered up/edited out. It was like that from the beginning. We even changed the rules saying that posting anything about her kids was off limits. We also added a rule banning comments/posts about mental health/armchair diagnosis. The rules for this community were actually pulled directly from the Reddit sub.

    The video where someone had their kid film her at a distance was removed. If you don’t believe me I can send you a screen shot of the conversation the mods had about how it was inappropriate to do that.

    The sub changed a lot over the 1.5 years it was active and we were always trying to make it better. As a mod from that sub, I refuse to be dragged.

      Just because you changed the rules a few weeks ago doesn’t mean everything before that was forgotten. That post of the filming at the mall was up for a full day and even had mods commenting on it. So yeah you removed it… eventually. That was a “friend” of Janette by the way that made that mall video. So maybe stop worshipping her too if you want to stay on the right side of things. Look people want to know why the sub was shut down, and to me, these are the reasons why. There is opportunity to be better and do better here.

        What exactly do you mean by staying on the “right side of things”? Is that some kind of threat?
