"eco-friendly board or that members posted there own tutorials on crafting or sewing projects, book reviews, and free product giveaways and product reviews. I have removed my links off the 2 current pages. I find it odd that if I truly broke a rule you are requesting that I post a link or banner on my site..Rules here change all the time...not posting anymore "ideas"...

1|1|Linda CYE....dont take this personal...you did nothing wrong....talk to the mods...they are awesome and really dont care|blessedx5|I_am_blessedx5@yahoo.com|22:23:58|11/21/2009|
Posted on Nov-21-09 at 10:23 PM (Eastern) by 66.177.30.91
someone wants them to care but honestly they dont....just reply back to them and let them know...Im glad u didnt get nasty messages "anonymously" on your blog telling you not to post on RS....the person who did this on my blog acted very cowardly...couldnt even stand behind what they felt they had to say...or knew they were wrong for trying to say anything....whatever the reason...they have no control over what or how I post on RS..my guess is clearly they had nothing better to do....Im very sorry this happened to you as I feel it started with whom every "thought" they were alerting the mods to "something" and it has just trickled down to others.....but trust me..talk to the mods and you will be fine....they dont have time for all the petty drama..
I really wish people (especially those who claim to pray for, and help others) would ask themselves one question
Am I about to do this to be helpful or hurtful, and then their true intent will be revealed (words from another RS member)
2|2|What the heck is going on? Someone here is complaining about your (Linda and Margie) blog links? What's wrong with that?? I have both your blogs bookmarked and check them out everyday, lots of great info and tips, I enjoy them both alot :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|22:25:52|11/21/2009|

3|1|Oh geez...|sunriver|lithiasalt@cheerful.com|22:33:13|11/21/2009|
I'm sorry you got singled out like that. I can imagine it did not feel very good. I'm with Joy-- I follow both of your blogs and enjoy what you talk about. Vanessa 4|2|Holidays are approaching..... Must be someone who is very unhappy w/their life right now and the holidays are good or bad for people|CJDJ112366|Lintaos@optonline.net|22:37:26|11/21/2009|
If some people aren't happy they try to make it bad for someone else. You know the saying...
Hurting people hurt people... Sooooo sad......
I love your site too. It's very encouraging. Plus, I could use all the tips I can get re:homemaking.. Keep them coming. It makes us all better homemakers..
Carol 5|3|thanks Ladies, I felt very hurt and offended, got this e-mail the other day and been eating at me..|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|01:19:32|11/22/2009|
I read this e-mail from the Mods right before heading out to the store, and found myself so absorbed with it, mad & sad that I continued walking 15 minutes past my turn to head home before I realized it!!! geez!! I guess it was the way the content was written in my e-mail that bothered me...felt bullied..they said I cannot even mention my site here or post link unless I post link or banner, I don't do well with threats...so just opted out to just not post stuff here anymore..I have many members and I found most of them myself...about 5 people from this board, the rest I did a lot of pr to get them. Someone here is choosing to "pick" us out of the group, for whatever reason.. Thank-you for all the support and kind words you all are wonderful!!
** Also there are things here we discuss amongst friends here, I like my privacy here and don't feel like sharing my privacy with my bloggers, for them to see all I write here or comment on...I like to have some place to go where I can vent and be me and be comfortable..
6|4|and Carol you brought me a chuckle, thank-you for that when you said: " It makes us all better homemakers" lol!! too cute!!!.. |HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|01:41:49|11/22/2009|

Im not sure how your email was worded and Im sorry you had to feel that way....everything you post enhanced this board and I would hate to see it stop..... 8|3|LOL|blessedx5|I_am_blessedx5@yahoo.com|09:01:58|11/22/2009|

We live in the Land of the Free only because of the Brave!
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
9|1|Not sure exactly what rule you broke or why someone complained. Seems trivial to me. I too like to post deals whenever I find them to share with everyone here. Helping one another, that is why this board is great.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|10:56:49|11/22/2009|
I love reading your posts here and your blog.
Keep your chin up :)
Life is like a cup of tea,
It's all in how you make it.

I just added them to my blog roll. I knew we couldn't post links to competing forums, but it is in the rules...buried. I do they they should stream line it or number it. It was added almost as an afterthought? (BTW, receipts is spelled incorrectly, as is canceled)
No links or posts about other forums, chats, boards or sites like refundsweepers.com. No posts allowed for complete/partial deals, cash register tapes, looking up upc codes/prices. (All links subject to review). Foul language cancels account. Accounts can be cancelled at our discretion. One account allowed per person. You must abide by manufacturers rules. No personal attacks or back and forth bickering. Auctions: We do not charge fees, it's free to post. The rules above apply plus no posts for cash register reciepts, complete/partial deals, firearms, drugs, alcohol or fireworks, or any illegal product. If buying, use Paypal in case of disputes. If selling send out with proof of delivery. Refundsweepers.com is not responsible for transactions. This is merely a free place to post. If you have feedback set up, each person can only post once to it, if they post something negative you are allowed one reply to tell your side of the story. If you own websites that contain no links to other websites, you can post them. .....
Basically this means if your blog has Adsense or any other paid advertising they don't want you to list it here. In all fairness, they did offer to allow you us to keep our links provided we give some link love. But yes, it came out of left field and was a bit off-putting.
I don't think anyone tattled... I think it is more of a house cleaning. I don't remember the language in there before though, but that doesn't mean I didn't miss it (as I said, it was tacked in that whole rules paragraph kind of at an odd spot.)
The more I thought about it, it wasn't a big deal. So I give a little link love... it isn't as if I don't get many good things from this site. A lot of other forums disallow (I know SD does as I got a rude mod note asking me to remove a blog link from my siggy after they asked me months before to remove another link, so I thought mine was ok. Basically, they run Google ads and don't want people clicking your link to go look at your Google ads...)

18|1|SOunds like they are checking on everyone with a blog|petunia1|sweetpea39@comcast.net|19:19:06|11/22/2009|
Sorry you got so upset. dont take it personally, There are alot of people who post their blogs so not sure if they talked to everyone or not. I personally do not care, if I dont want to read something I skip over it. Dont understand why people have to complain. Sad they have nothing better to do.
HUGS!!
