Okay - whenever you see a poster you do not like, it is always best to hit the "ignore posts" button that is just to the left of this message below my picture and not argue with them when it is obvious they are not into an educated and positive discussion.
If you feel a post violates the terms of service you should hit the "report a violation" button below the message. iVillage is usually good about taking care of that during business hours. Any of us can do that at any time.
It is always best not to respond to negative people. It is best to report and ignore.
Sorry girls, this board is a very important and positive resource for all of us. And I want very much to keep it that way.
Thanks for all of your help and understanding - you guys are GREAT!!

I just love the Iggy button.
Yes - the ignore button is very good. Except I cannot use that - but that is okay - that is my job to keep this place positive and peaceful.
Okay girls - it looks like most of the very offending posts have been cleared. Everyone did a great job at ignoring them and making a post to make sure I would see them and to posting the RAV reports to iVillage. GREAT JOB TEAM!!
I cannot stress enough that this board is an important means of support for single moms and even dads who we welcome as well. It is a haven of safety and great discussion for all of us who are in the same boat as single parents, whether we are dating, thinking about dating, not dating or done dating. There is no one who understands our plight better than all of us. I know when I go to my son's school and see all of the married moms, not one of them can fathom what it is like to be a single parent and to be faced with the thought of trying to date and find a peaceful relationship, especially when we are fresh or not so fresh out of a very bad relationship that failed with a child involved.
So, girls, thanks again for your great job at "holding the keys" and not feeding those who are not so positive. Thanks for all of your new and fun posts - Shrimps with the picture thread that is still making history, Moon and her beautiful dance thread and her fun holiday survey and dd updates, Loony with her wonderful job interview news, Rlch with her crazy dating story and all of her stories, Soccermom with her crazy texter, Pacificsun with her dream stories, Soonee with the monkey research - that is a hoot, Mhash with his nondating dating story, and our newbies who come for support.
Keep the keys typing!
Happy Friday!!
Hey - thank you for taking care of all of us.
THANK YOU!
Aw drats.... The CMs (or whoever does the post deletions) deleted the WHOLE threads instead of just the offending posts!!!
So we lost a few good threads- like Moon's post about the DD's dance. :-(

Oh no - that is a bummer. Maybe moon can repost?
One reassuring thing - is that in the five years I have been here, I don't think I have ever experienced this before - so we are lucky in that respect.
MAN! Sounds like I totally missed out on the action! Somebody email me! LOL
