This Site Is Important

Without this site, thousands of people would have not found the help they very much needed.

 

Without this site, thousands of people would not have found their voice, some for the very first time.

 

Without this site, thousands of people would have suffered alone.

 

We are aware of the recent troubles on the site and are very serious about addressing them and making this site a safe and helpful environment for everyone.

 

We need your help to do this.  We are a team here on d360, going through all of this together, one post at a time.

 

We can not allow one or two negative situations to get in the way of the very important goals and mission of this site.

 

We can not allow one or two negative situations to stop us from posting our feelings and fears and hopes and goals.

 

We can not allow one or two negative situations to stop us from showing others how to survive and thrive during this very difficult time.

 

We are all stronger than one or two negative situations. 

 

We've all made it this far...and will make it further still.

 

We do that by simply ignoring the negative and focusing only on the helpful, the good and the positive.

 

Together we can do this. 

 

If you notice negative situations on the site, please bring it to our attention, but do not engage.  Sometimes all that is needed is to let it go.  As we all have learned and are continuing to learn.

A suggestion? Can we make it impossible for anyone to "good post" their own blog? Just a thought

im still too new to really get this - but i do appreciate that you guys are taking steps to address issues

after my stbx sex addiction - and having to have a 3rd HIV test in 8 months, pathetic wankers feature fairly low in the great scheme of things lol

i have been on sites before where the turds were allowed to run riot... its good to see it is being addressed here

we are all people in turmoil - this is NOT the place for the emotionally retarded to wreak their revenge on mummy/daddy issues by attacking innocent strangers 

i hope that this issue is resolved - or at least the good people refuse to be browbeaten by pathetic bullies.

thanks for the post :)

Good post- I am hoping that the situation can be solved. I myself have engaged in a battle or two on here and actually helped to shut down an obnoxious member. Maybe it was wrong but I feel that the focus of his oscenities was directed towards me on my wall for a while and not to the others - I put myself directly in the line of fire intentionally.
 I am hoping that when 360 is notified of these situations that they will be taken care of swiftly. There needs to be some way of screening blogs before they are posted. And when the nasty ones come up- or sneak by they need to not be allowed to be the post of the day. I have seen that happen several times here.
 Hopefully our wise spaz will come back - and we can all go back to trying to help instead of raising our shields for the riff raff that is not actually on here for help but to hurt others.

Very good post.   We all have an inventory of problems than can seem overwhelming.   Divorce is a major change in how we live our future.   We need help to navigate through unchartered territory unless we are like Liz Taylor with 8 divorces.   I found this place by accident and it has really helped as friends and family can only offer limited support.   Overall we learn to have empathy as we recieve empathy from others.   I am sure some come and go, but for the moment I enjoy the company of those who are here presently today.   All of us have pure motives as we endeavour to find our footing in this shark filled pond we call divorce or post-divorce.   So far it is working and is a working project for me everyday.

I don't think a lot of people realize they can simply hit that "red flag" there for inappropriate postings/comments and not respond.  That is what I've been doing.

I do thank the people behind D360 as without a place like this, yes, I would have endured a lot of suffering and pain on my own.  This site has truly been a blessing to me.  As has a lof of people on the site.

Thanks for stepping up and noticing, I hope that something can be done in the future.  The damage done has been just as bad as what brought us to this wonderful site where once upon a year ago almost I joined and was truly helped.  That first blog post or comment on a post was a great leap of faith in trust when all my faith in trust had been destroyed.  I sincerely hope, that trust and support can truly return.

I hope that in light of recent events that the powers to be for this site will take corrective actions to prevent more abuse and attacks. I was very upset and offended when a member here made a sick sexual comment about my relationship with my 3 year old daughter and then faked my screen name to make me look bad. I now find myself still under insults and attacks by fake members who I believe are really the one original perverted attacker.

If this site would not have been here with the then quality of people and trust when everything first happen to me, I would not have survived. I worry about those new to this site who come here under the same conditions I did and if they'll get the help they need or that final push too far.

I hope the powers to be of this site will bring about corrective actions and positive change. As for my thoughts, it's a wait and see cause I have saw little done to deal with this matter so far. We'll see what does and does not take effect.
