Thanks, Conan I was just looking in the Mod Actions thread, and there was nothing about MidlifeBear getting modslapped.

The thread is usually edited at the end of the day, not after every time someone is warned or banned.

Take a look in another hour or two.
midlifebear - heads up, inappropriate content involving minors

It's just a heads up.

It may not be my place to say, midlifebear, but I'll say it because you were one of the first "major posters" I came across on LPSG and you're still one of my favorites: if you're offended by the heads-up from the mod team, please consider taking a breather instead of asking that your account be closed. If you close it they'll assign some dreadful name to all your wonderful posts and you'll be out of touch with dozens, scores, of people who deeply appreciate you and your contributions. So much better to do as many have already done: let your account go fallow for a spell, then return to it only as you feel motivated.

I haven't found you a suitable penis hat yet. Give me a while longer.

I'll have to go read the rules on minors because a number of long time posters seem to fall foul of it. A lot of my own formative sexual experiences happened before I was eighteen (age of consent is 16 in the UK). It is a shame when rules have to cater to the lowest common denominator, but I appreciate why.

Such a pity, MLB.
All the best to you, in whatever you decide.

Wise words. Enjoy your time away, MLB, and return when you are ready. Wishing you the best.

If you decide to leave, you will be missed.

I myself took a leave of absence from this place, for my own reasons (the general level of BS and overall rudeness had reached, for me, an all time high, and I needed the account closed so as to not be tempted to return...so i get that part of it)

I will say that it is just a heads up. I have recieved one for a news post. Entire thread gone. I ran afoul of the TOS and was "modslapped" (really it was a series of poliet pm's that opened up convo, but I guess that doesn't have the same ring as "modslapped", lol)

My first sexual experiences can not be recounted here unless I edit or alter them to fit into the TOS rules regarding minors. A lot of people are in the same boat. I just hope you don't make a hasty desicion based solely on this. Acknowledge it, and move on. You seem to have a large group of poeple who will miss you. I will miss you a bit myself (I would miss you more had we interacted more) and do not want to see you depart over an isoated incident.

If it is part of an overall feeling, the final straw that is breaking the camels back, then do what you feel you need to. I won't try to guilt you into staying if you do not want to. Always know, however, that you have many people who would be happy to welcome you back, should ou leave and then latter decide to return. And if you do, you can always have the mods link the accounts. Hell, so long as the name is still avalible, you can have it back.

Whatever your decision, I wish you well. I am glad that either you have changed your mind about leaving, or there were no Admins on to hit the button, or you asled for a set time before the account closed, because i was able to post here. If you have not offically asked yet, know that they can move fairly quickly once they confirm it with you. My account was disabled within 2 hours...max, from time I requested it be closed.

All the best, and massive hugs for the road.

I don't plan to leave the site, but I find it ever less rewarding to read and post here.


I've been a member here for years, through many incarnations of the board, through server changes (including one of them that made me have to re-register my account so the year on my profile is not actually correct), I've been a mod, and am now just a regular member. I agre fully with Calboner. I rarely post here anymore and can go days without even logging in anymore, when I used to only go a few hours without logging in.
I just have to shake my head...

Midlifebear, please hang around, even if you don't post regularly.

You've been so delightful, entertaining and informative during your time spent here. I'm going to miss you and hope that you do reconsider leaving Midlifebear.

Farewell my lovely.:hug:

will admit it was mods lke prep, and others that prompted myself to stay on over the years
a calming non interfering influence, hardly seen here these days, more the way it is in 2012 i think, certainly not rubbishing the current mods, who i think are fine also
but
just dont have that same confidence, that you be safe', in this LPSG environment
despite Rob_es attempts at making it so ....

I wish you'd reconsider and hope you have my contact info.

Seriously, MLB, you're one of the few really high-info posters we have here.

You being one of the other high info posters,Mr. Bb.:biggrin1:

Well he hasn't been re-named, so perhaps he is reconsidering? Either that or he requested it to be closed at a specific time, or the Admins have yet to see it? Maybe they are trying to get him to stay.

Or maybe he will leave it open and just take a breather?:frown1:

idk...

It's not personal. I've been warned for the same thing twice and it didn't bother me except that I thought it was a bit embarrassing to appear on the moderator's list. It's not a personal judgment of what you wrote, it's just the new rules and they apply to everyone.

I hope that you reconsider.

You've been warned twice???!! I thought it was just the one time with me....I feel so betrayed...:frown1:

Which means that warnings bite, but they happen to almost everyone who posts in the forums. Indeed they are survivable.
