Title: Newbies being accused of being readers
Post by: Fairydust123 on March 08, 2020, 07:36:44 AM
Hey everyone!

Idk if this breaks the posting rules but I'm feeling uncomfortable even posting now. For people that have been on the forum for a while and us newbies come on here and post or update a prediction thats come to pass... maybe search other peoples thoughts on a reader too on all the links for that reader or topic before accusing us "newbies" of being that reader. It makes me want to take all of my posts downand not share and thats not fair to people who may have read with someone and are waiting and need encouragement. I thought going back and updating about a prediction for my situation might help someone else who has also read with her(spiritroombydawn,etsy). So sorry for posting. I don't even feel comfortable posting now. Are people always accused of being that reader when a prediction passes? Not trying to start anything but has this happened to anyone else on the forum? Ps. If i were the reader, I wouldn't be updating after having posted earlier.

I was accused of the same shit and I've been here for 8years. They retreated once a more active member (who knows me personally) vouched for me.

It's not personal - it's from experience.  Those of us who have been around a while have seen the forum used as a way tp advertise readers.  If I were a reader, and knew of this forum, and wanted to pull in some business, I'd probably do it too. 
It's not something to be sensitive about.  It happens commonly - and for those of us who have walked the addiction path and wasted thousands on readings in the past, it's important to warn others of the traps.
I suggest you post as you wish.. after a while, you'll gain increasing trust and it won't be an issue any more.

Take it all with a grain of salt. It's not personal, some people are just super protective of the forum and will start spouting reader as if it were a witch hunt. I got called out for saying this forum makes me want to be a life coach. People backed off when I started snapping back but of course I had to explain myself for people to hush. Just comes with the territory I guess.

I didn’t back off because you snapped back, literally didn’t give a shit enough to post again about something I really don’t care that much about .

Why are you continuing to troll me? I didn't tag or state any particular person or individuals that were rude to other members, but you just called yourself out for being one of those individuals. Yes I felt like it was a witch hunt to an extend for zero reason because if you don't like something, don't read it. Simple as that. Subject was dropped over a week ago and I gladly appologized on that thread yet here you are again. Cute, real cute....

Ever heard the phrase "don't come for me if I didn't call for you!" ... If I wanted to call out a specific person please believe I would have but I respect other people's opinions are their own even if they are different than mine. Maybe you should try that out for size.

Everyone knows it was me , they just have to read the thread . The evidence is right there .

And if it was dropped over a week ago, why bring it up again in the first place ?

But did I link that thread directly, NO.
Did I state hey go to my one thread and you'll see, NO.
Did I mention your name, NO.

IF people want to do their own research then let them. That's on them not on you or I for that matter. I wasn't calling anyone out bluntly or directly at all with my original comment just said hey I feel you had the same thing happen to me. AND I only bring it up that it was you because YOU brought it up in this thread to begin with. You could have just not commented at all and let it lie. YOU reinforce it by addressing it directly here in this thread.

Projection at it's finest.

There is a BIG and valid difference between hey this also happened to me on some threads AND xyz person snapped at me in my one thread.

We're supposed to be here to help each other here right? Not tear each other part

Lmao okay, you keep getting yourself worked up over it .

I’ll just keep “trolling” as you put it 😎

Guys,I didnt post this for everyone to fight about!  For those who kindly responded, thank you!  I appreciate that! I am not a reader. I wish I was, because that would make life easier lol. But i just wanted tonpost because it sucks feeling like you can be a part of a community that people are going through the same thing and then when you post a review, you get accussed. I do understand people want to weed out lurking readers though. But I'm def not old and  def dont have a british accent lmao.

Yes, lets just all try to support each other and yes, I'm sure there are readers that get on here. But lets have more evidence before accussing so we don't all feel uncomfortable!! I just want everyone to be okay!

Honestly it sucks feeling attacked but if you don't respond to it you are better off.  Share your experiences, comment when you want to give support and chime in and just ignore everything else.  Welcome to all the newbies.

Fairy dust, you seem sweet. Post what you like, you do not come across as a reader.

I think to come on psychic addiction forums and advertise yourself pretending to be a customer is disgusting, morally and unethically wrong. It's greed and disingenuous that you use vulnerable addicted people's money for your lifestyle. I mean, has your career gotten that bad that you advertise yourself as a reader on psychic forums and make multiple accounts praising yourself as a reader? Think about it and how sad and pathetic that is. I posted my very first review on here and that reader made up a bunch of shit about me but my experience of her is very genuine, seems others on here haven't had squeaky clean experiences with her either and her history on here on continued banned usernames and same IP's is not the best. It is pretty sad that readers feel the need to keep making usernames (which the admin has verified they are the same IP) to praise yourself. Why can't these people find a real job, it just disgusts me how greedy and low these readers sink to. Unfortunately it will never stop, they will keep being caught out and then playing victim and trying to pull the wool over our eyes but I think to be skeptical and wary of other users is natural because if a newbie posts 10 posts saying a certain reader is amazing it will raise a few eyebrows. These readers have to remember that these are people's lives, emotions, relationships which they had very strong attachments and emotions with and they are spending their hard earned money on readers for some to abuse that power and the readers on here hiding behind their keyboard stalking forums to adverise and say how amazing they are, know who they are exactly and they have to live with the fact that the money in their purse or wallet is from addicted vulnerable people. I'm sorry but I don't care how broke I would be, I never would get money off of vulnerable people by being disingenuous to get my needs met, it's just bad 'juju' and dirty money in my eyes.

JAG, is sounds like all agree with you that it's a disgusting thing to do ---(it's outrageous, it's fraud!) but the heartburn is around innocent members of the forum getting pounced on if they show a bit too much enthusiasm for a reader that got a prediction right for them.

I'm not sure what the solution is---because it's true, scams ABOUND in this crazy 'psychic readings for sale' world. So, it's logical we have a 'buyer beware' mentality.

Maybe holding fire and asking a few questions first--instead of "shoot first, ask questions later"?

Guys! Goodness! Reading through the first few replies after she posted this thread - things were taken down a negative path so rapidly. All @fairydust123 wanted to do was seek clarity to a simple question! If you must have tense discussions, please proceed in arguments via PM, and not on threads  :'( As @fairydust123 stated this should be a community of support, and one in which the energy we find in one another uplifts our spirits in troubling or confusing times. Negativity just breeds more negativity. Stay centered, and in right alignment no matter who is correct in a situation, but just for purposes of being the bigger person. At the end of the day, who is right or wrong does not truly matter in the wider scope of things, but the impact you leave on people does.

In regards to your statement about newbies being discredited @fairydust123...
It is a real thing unfortunately, that I have seen a multitude of times while reading through these threads. Everyone is going to have an opinion, and the most constructive thing to do is disregard anyone who attempts to put their negative beliefs on you. Don’t allow it to limit sharing your story or experience, because there are individuals who want to hear you express yourself on here! You seem like a genuine soul and full of light, so maintain that energy regardless of trolls! Keep sharing your experiences baby girl! Granted- In reality, I feel there are some on here that are hesitant to believe anything that might even look mildly suspicious, due to the fact there have been readers in the past that come on here and pose as regular users to campaign their services. So as there is validation to some people’s cause, under no circumstances does it signify  there is any right for people to falsely accuse, unless the matter can be proven. Predominantly, we must all be mindful of that. ❤️Blessings✨

Especially this. When newbies post on multiple threads about one reader, you're going to get flogged. Say how great a reader is or not and move on. Don't expect a bunch of praise for flooding the board, because that doesn't happen here. It's only common sense.

I never would get money off of vulnerable people by being disingenuous to get my needs met, it's just bad 'juju' and dirty money in my eyes.
And yet here we are and it happens and will continue to happen. This is nothing new. You'll never make anyone feel bad by throwing bad juju at them, particularly fraudulent readers. Many readers make their money over being the kind of reader they are, whatever type that may be. The longer you live, the more you learn (hopefully) and hopefully become better at discerning.

I will just say again, yes I do agree with what you all are saying no doubt! But my problem and why I felt attacked was because it wasn't just one reader I reviewed it was about 6. That is a lot for a newbie to take time to post on. I just wanted to help others.. and then when I first posted negatively about one reader saying her prediction did the opposite, then updated it to say it actually happened despite the negative part happening first, I was just trying to help others who may feel discouragedand let them know how the prediction unfolded. There is so much hate in this world, I just wanted to be a part of a supportive community who understands the hurts I've gone through and I can connect with :(again thank you all on this post for being supportive for both sides and viewpoints to this and doing it with love and kindness. You guys that did that are really sweet!

The problem is, it's hard to tell cuz we are all behind screens here and some one could genuinely be an enthusiast of a reader or a reader themselves or the reader's family or friends. I've been addicted to readings for several years and am male which seems rare on this site, I've been in some of my addictions once or twice offered by readers I've used, to have my readings for free if I advertise people to the reader, and the reader gets a reading with them. I declined, as I would feel partly responsible/guilty if the reading was inaccurate or ruined the person's situation, and many other obvious reasons, I think it's natural to be wary of people at first cuz many of these readers posing as customers have no morals. I think the issue is that people who like a paticular reader can get quite passionate about them sometimes and whenever some one comes on to say well hey I didn't have a great reading with this reader, there are one or two people who seem to take it personally or in their stride to keep commenting how great the reader was for them and then it doesn't make for fair or accurate reviewing, we must remember that these readers may have read for us for months or years but they don't connect to everyone and should really be viewed as business figures only, many of these readers (not all) don't mind being our friends when we are feeding them dollars and attracting customers to them, but when we aren't, they aren't so friendly then, it ruins things for the genuine readers who have good ethics
