trolling on other boards

One of your regular posters send me an email asking if perhaps I had been on this board causing trouble.  For those of you who followed it, some posters here came to the Hot Topics board and posted there, and there was some controversy over the number who suddenly appeared and a link from this board.


I wanted to let you all know that if someone has been posting using "moonlight" or anything similar as a handle, they are not me.  This is my first and most likely only post on this board.  I don't do support boards, nor do I do diet boards, so would never have known this board existed where it not for the link that brought folks to "our" board.  Those folks are most welcome to post at Hot Topics (or Hot Debates I think ivillage calls us now) and I'm glad they are there to increase our numbers.


I have been the victim of a group of posters who followed me around, cyberstalked me IRL and then made up versions of my posting name and what they believed my real name to be.  I don't play those games.  If you get disruptive posts from someone with a name close to mine, PLEASE report them immediatly.  Management (I am a cl on Morality Debates) tells me when you report a post a copy of the post automatically is send to managment at that time, so even if a poster comes back and removes the entire text, managament still has a record.


I'm sorry if your board has been infected by trolls, but I am not one of them.

Welcome Moonlight & welcome to our beach board (it's not really a diet, it's more a healthy way of eating by the way - so hopefully there's hope of your becoming interested? We'd love to have you here.).

Susan :)

Moonlight,

Welcome to the Beach, I told you we're nice to newbies here :-)

I haven't seen any troll problems here, and hadn't seen any disruptive posts from anyone shadowing your name, although I did miss a few days over the holidays. I did read the link you sent me to the other problems, so I understand why you're worried about it.

If you ever have any questions about this board or SBD or anything, you can email me at shandcsbd@excite.com (TO ANYONE ELSE READING THIS: NO SPAM PLEASE!!!). It's good to see you here, and don't worry, the warm fuzzies aren't claustrophobic ;-)

Hi Moonlight,

I did see a few posts on here from a moonlight45, but they weren't offensive in the least. Are you saying this person was impersonating you???? From the questions they had, it seemed like they were a true newbie on the SBD.

Hope it all gets cleared up for you!

I have no idea if someone was impersonating me on your board.

No one can post on other boards or this board for that matter
