Hello all,
i wish to post a quick note regarding the chat room today.
A user logged on and entered the site, he quickly began a conversation with me, the information that he gave to me were only known by 2 people, myself and a user named Mayo. In the past he has tricked me into sharing information regarding very private details that i would only share with people using the site for the correct reasons, on the occasion i shared some details he was claiming to be a 17 year old girl struggling with many issues.
As soon as this user made it clear to me who he was ( mentioning details of a conversation i had had with him 3 days before ) i reported it to 2 GA'S. neither of whom took any action at all, with the exeption of telling me to behave myself. It took an hour to realise for themselves that this person was harmful to the site.
i realise that their is an ignore button, as this was pointed out to me by both GA's. Although this blocks me from seeing his comments, i does not stop him seeing mine, thus making it difficult for me to speak to other members, or for new members to share safely. Mayo often remembers and repeats our weaknesses.
We are all giving our time to help others, and we are all attempting to recover from our illness, the inconsistent approach to dealing with people intent on harming recovery is harming my own recovery. As a result i will not be returning to the site. My recovery will hopefully continue through my weekly meetings however.
i would like to thank all of you for the support given, and i wish you well
Faith... Adie
