Being as i couldn't post in support of this poster i decided to drop this on my own wall no doubt it will be taken down because we aren't allowed to speak up for ourselves and voice our concerns for a community so many of us once loved.
Honestly i agree with everything the guy said in this post, i've been here a good while know i say HI or hows everyone doing in General chat i'm ignored constantly and am made to feel invisible, i've been vilified before for "crying about not catching links" or "being a good sniper" however i have seen members and Moderators put spacing in their links to try to avoid bots (one of which happened today).
The site it self is beyond broken regular lock ups causing me to refresh the page losing out on links or sometimes if i'm not ignored losing track of the general chat altogether. Trying to report anything is so long winded and out dated it isn't even worth it i'll probably be looking at deactivating my account which from what i have also been told is also extremely long winded and irritating!
Its time for a over haul ladies and gents in a big way and introducing safe guards to protect your members!
Piece said.
I'm newish here, but I'm so saddened to read this and the original post. I have felt so very welcomed by the community here. I see your point, and the point of the previous poster. I was and have been intimidated by general chat at times and I gather it's much easier to be welcomed here as a woman. I hope I'm doing my best to be a warm and welcoming member of the LL community and I certainly hope people find what they're looking for here.
