Catbox is Controlling People's Words

and the words are their OWN. The members' words belong to the members and nobody else. Many members' posts and threads have been "hidden" so that the original poster cannot access them to view, edit, copy, or delete, but only the admins can see and do anything with them.

Since members' posts by law (it seems) belong to THEMSELVES, this would appear to be illegal. It's also unethical and wrong to withhold a persons own posts from themselves. For what cause? Punishment of who they are? To "show who's boss?" That seems to be the idea. There's no logical explanation for it. These are old posts, doing no harm, just sitting around. Many of the members on the "hidden" list haven't even posted in a while.

It's a fact this is going on.
And it's so very wrong.

MORE news. Select members are having their entire message boxes removed. Their ability to PM removed. Their personal photos removed. This was done after the Irene visited their profile. YOU WILL BE SILENCED!!! is the clear attempted message. Does anybody "out there" realize all this is going on? Probably not, since the silenced members are...being silenced. Being controlled. SHE must control. No matter what. What sickness is going on!!!!!!!!!

Irene must be SO AFRAID of these people. She is going to extreme lengths to destroy them.

And apparently, the mass post/thread hiding by admins is due to the fact that some members were deleting their old posts. So, in essence, the Catbox is punishing members for deleting their posts by withholding the posts (the members' own intellectual property) from them, and/or using it as a control method over them for no apparent reason, because if they're deleted, they'd be gone anyway. It makes NO sense. And restricting access to members' own posts (for no apparent reason except "they want to?") is in my opinion criminal.

PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF IS HAPPENING!!! It won't be overlooked. It won't be forgotten.

We TRUSTED you, Dr. Irene Matiatos. We thought you were caring. Now all it seems you want is power-over and control. You've done so many things we're all so familiar with in verbally abusive relationships. Twisting, blaming, crazymaking, name-calling (slandering member(s)' reputations), minimizing, and more. And now, withholding. Instead of a helpful forum, your catbox is now just a vehicle by which you control masses. SHAME ON YOU, Dr. Irene Matiatos. You have betrayed so many, across many countries. Are you happy? Really?

Addendum: Some members are deleting their posts. They no longer feel it is a safe place for those words. And Dr. Irene/admins are RETRIEVING the deleted posts, and re-posting them! That is SO WRONG. If people do not want their words posted, they should be deleted. Period. End of story. It's not someone else's right to make that decision.

Later, Dr. Irene had a crazy explanation that the deletions are causing "board disruption" and/or infringing on the meaning of threads. That's too bad, but it doesn't change the right members have to remove their own words.

Another Update

Another Catbox update.

ALL posts and topics by certain members have been deleted or hidden in one fell swoop. Those "targeted members" who were deemed to be troublemakers. Without warning, without chance to retrieve the posts, without explanation. Even those who have not posted at all lately. It's part of the silencing, the squashing of whistleblowers.

Administration does not want these things that they are doing, known. The moderation, the "disappearing" of people.

This cat is being let out of the bag.

Part of a grand scheme - the "cleanup" - the "pruning." Pruning PEOPLE. Cutting off PEOPLE. Especially if they speak up against obvious wrongs.

Newbies are being led into a false sense of okayness. It's NOT okay in there. It's not safe.
