Ooh, I don't think SAUKmods is looking for a promotion right now - too much pressure! (Plus we'd have to give him a pay rise and that comes out of the Christmas bonus fund )

There's an option hidden away at the bottom of the PMs page to download your PMs, should you need to clear space and have PMs you want to keep.

Hides biscuits in a secret place before there's a trouble about "disagreeing with the staff" cause that's often a forum crime

^ We don't do that here. We're very nice.

It's okay, you can let biscuits out of the biscuits tin.

What normally happens when a member disagrees with one of the staff?

^ Speaking from experience, the "staff" find out where you live, arrive in the dead of night with pitchforks and torches, then transport you to a torture chamber in a secret location (somewhere near Chipping Sodbury) and afterwards, you will never disagree again.

In all seriousness, members are bound to disagree with each other at times, as long as you're posting within the rules and not debating a mod decision on the public forum, it's fine and dandy. I promise there's no secret location

I don't do blindfolds, only time I been blindfold was in cadets and it was a "trust your peers" thing and the others thought it was a wonderful joke to lead me into a patch of nettles - I found out the hard way that day I react to the things

To be honest I possibly wouldn't need blindfold anyway cause my distance vision without my glasses is really blurry and terrible anyway

Hoping it would mean I less likely to get blindfold if a secret location does get got

Idk

Close up is okay without my glasses but it still means I can't read smaller text without putting them on

If I'm going to end up getting harshly dealt with I would rather it happen sooner rather than I start to relax then get harsh treatment tonne of concrete treatment

Thank you all. I had not expected any responses and just to have my account closed. It's a happy surprise, and has made me pause.

I do love this community, I've been involved with it in some shape or form for many years. Not always on the forum, but I have been around. I've met people from here, talked to many on the phone and formed long friendships.

Unfortunately I'm carrying baggage from something that happened in the past, that I can't go into. Posting here is painful. I hoped after being away so long it wouldn't be, but it has dragged up old pain and made it new again.

I guess I'll give things a long think and take a break. I felt that totally disengaging from SAUK forever might help. But kind comments have made me dither.

@ Mods. Can you get a two-way block on here? A one-way block is insufficient.

just a suggestion idk if the mods would do this, maybe close your current account down and make a new one? see if its less triggering with a new account?

Take as much time as you need to think it over Sophie79, we can put temporary self bans in place too if people choose that rather than a permanent one.
You would be missed if you left

Question: in my situation, is it a problem that I use more than one IP address thing to come on here? Phone internets, laptop WiFi, and sometimes one other internets?
