Title: Be cautious
Post by: SomethingBetter on August 07, 2019, 05:42:43 PM
Hey everyone, I’m putting this in the vent section because it’s frustrating and one of the many factors I’m eliminating or severely limiting my readings.

I know y’all know this but just be aware of the readers who lurk and post, don’t mention when you have readings with certain readers and don’t use the same username across the board.

I hate to repeat something many of us already know or to have my tin foil hat on, but I’ve become skeptical of some things lately.

Be well!

I agree.

I used to post loads about readings but now I’ve scaled back to the point where I don’t post at all, or if I do there no details.

Learning from the last drama on this site, and my suspicions of certain people on here being readers.

I think I’m picking up who you’re talking about 👀 Things seem to be going way too good for this person. And everything was somehow predicted

Agree completely. I never post about an upcoming reading except with Yona. And my user name is so far off from those on the sites it would be pretty hard for them to find me. Thankfully also my name is so common first and last I have a lot of anonymity.  Top it all off that I only have 5 out of all of them I have read with more than once. I also don't share details in PM unless they have a few hundred posts *wave hi diamond lol. I think I have settled on a few good readers and I'm not counting on predictions like I was a year ago when calling about an ex. One thing I encourage is for people to go back and read posts from people from the start of the board. SB I have went through your posts a lot to see if anyone was accurate for long term. Sadly they can be but only to a point and not how we expect. May we all find what we truly deserve in life.

Couldn’t agree more with this warning. Even though I already made the mistakes myself I caution others not to do the same. And now I try not to share about who I read with until way long after my reading at least and even then it’s probably a bad idea. What most freaks me out and memes me all tin foil hat like is the thought that once a reader knows who you are on this board - or anywhere - Facebook linked in etc - well then they can easily use that info to trick you into thinking they’re real and have real abilities.

I mean what kind of level of greed must people have to do that to someone?!? Yet I think it’s happened to me.

I don’t ever share anymore with who I’m going to read with. Only once after I’ve read with someone.

Yep, Maggs. If you look at my old posts, no one except Kisha and a couple of others whom I can’t remember, were right on outcome. And even then Kisha was wrong along the way in regards to my ex. She missed the stuff in between though. I still, however, recommend her :).

I had little things manifest along the way but nothing major.

I have a feeling it will be the same thing now even though I feel I’ve found a better class of readers and have learned to utilize the readings better. Good thing is I don’t think this time I’ll be as devastated lol so that’s my silver lining! 😂

I try not to even think about all the weirdos I called before I found this board every single one except maybe two said my ex was coming back. Heck Yona even said he's coming back still but I haven seen or talked to him since Dec. I will not even entertain the idea of him if he does now. My silver lining is finding Yona and realizing the other day when she pulled the ex as my shadow card my guides are telling me to quit making the same damn mistakes 😂 I think Yona and Matilda are going to be my go tos and only once every 4 to 6 months with each. I beg everyone not to fall into the trap like we did of posting too much giving up to much info and calling too much. Some posters and lurkers are not in it for your best interest.

Yep diamond I'm not posting much either but when I feel a binge coming I sure as beck read stuff on here about all the failed predictions to pull me out. Sad that the negative has been so helpful but it has.

Hey everyone, I’m putting this in the vent section because it’s frustrating and one of the many factors I’m eliminating or severely limiting my readings.

I know y’all know this but just be aware of the readers who lurk and post, don’t mention when you have readings with certain readers and don’t use the same username across the board.

I hate to repeat something many of us already know or to have my tin foil hat on, but I’ve become skeptical of some things lately.

Be well!

I agree.

I used to post loads about readings but now I’ve scaled back to the point where I don’t post at all, or if I do there no details.

I think I need a new name :-( My username on here is the nickname that I primarily go by, which links directly up with FB and insta.  Ugh.  To think that someone would take all that time and effort when their motive is fueled by greed is horrifying.  Wth???? I guess you can have psychic ability, but be spiritually bankrupt.

Just make sure your accounts are private and they shouldn’t be able to see anything except maybe the city you live in. It is pretty shady though that’s for sure

I am the same way. Super talkative. I just found a few readers that spew info and don't let you talk. Once that happened when I would call one asking for information my brain triggered and I was like nope next.

I haven’t read with and ‘per minute’ readers (besides Rusty bc of the 20 minutes for $20) so I just roll with it but I always leaving feeling super dumb after. My psychic journey began on an app that is a complete scam but I would literally tell them my whole story and then ask the question 🤦🏼‍♀️

Playing devil’s advocate here but can somebody tell me how a reader can identify who I am based on posts I’ve made here? I love being detailed and like to expose how readings have specifically worked for me. Has this actually happened to someone where they have verified that a reader used this board to predict things or act like they were picking up things for you?

I haven’t posted names of my POIs nor to I tell readers a breakdown of my story...

Somebody please tell me lol (you can PM me if you want)

Yes. I created a new account on Keen so I could try to read with a reader who had blocked me. I only mentioned it to someone on here via PM. There is no way the reader could have known it was me without some type of insider information. The next thing I knew my account was closed and I was told that I had violated the terms of the keen agreement by harassing the reader which I never ever did in any way. Long story short and please no one press me about it but I am one hundred percent sure that either the person I had PMd with (most likely) or something I posted on here - the only way that could have happened was with some type of insider information. I’m not going to answer any other questions about the details of this but it did happen and I was not in any way harassing the reader.

The psychics on Keen might be lurking around in here but this place is deceptive all on it's own.  The minute something is said that the current "hero members" don't agree with, they are all over the person and, as has happened many times now, the person that made the controversial statement usually ends up getting kicked out.  I would love to see it play out sometime.  I can't even keep up with who is who in here.  Apparently, if you aren't in here every day you miss out.  Seems like a lot of people are accused of being psychics in here lurking around and all of the regulars know who they are.....I am just sitting her clueless trying to figure it out.

Another thing - it seems there are an awful lot of comments made toward "lurkers" and it is not appreciated if you don't participate.  I have greatly minimized my calling, therefore, don't have a lot to add at the moment, so now i worry that I will be accused of lurking.

just my opinion.....don't jump on me.

Agree completely. I never post about an upcoming reading except with Yona. And my user name is so far off from those on the sites it would be pretty hard for them to find me. Thankfully also my name is so common first and last I have a lot of anonymity.  Top it all off that I only have 5 out of all of them I have read with more than once. I also don't share details in PM unless they have a few hundred posts *wave hi diamond lol. I think I have settled on a few good readers and I'm not counting on predictions like I was a year ago when calling about an ex. One thing I encourage is for people to go back and read posts from people from the start of the board. SB I have went through your posts a lot to see if anyone was accurate for long term. Sadly they can be but only to a point and not how we expect. May we all find what we truly deserve in life.

Yep, Maggs. If you look at my old posts, no one except Kisha and a couple of others whom I can’t remember, were right on outcome. And even then Kisha was wrong along the way in regards to my ex. She missed the stuff in between though. I still, however, recommend her :).

^^this!!! <3 .. I’ve found this board to be a LIFESAVER..

I just had the same thing happen to me, and I never bought it about you.

I think when different posters come on with the same MO it’s quite obvious.

I hope this kills that readers drive to either post her or send minions here to post.

It’s quit obvious.

Agree completely. I never post about an upcoming reading except with Yona. And my user name is so far off from those on the sites it would be pretty hard for them to find me. Thankfully also my name is so common first and last I have a lot of anonymity.  Top it all off that I only have 5 out of all of them I have read with more than once. I also don't share details in PM unless they have a few hundred posts *wave hi diamond lol. I think I have settled on a few good readers and I'm not counting on predictions like I was a year ago when calling about an ex. One thing I encourage is for people to go back and read posts from people from the start of the board. SB I have went through your posts a lot to see if anyone was accurate for long term. Sadly they can be but only to a point and not how we expect. May we all find what we truly deserve in life.

Yep, Maggs. If you look at my old posts, no one except Kisha and a couple of others whom I can’t remember, were right on outcome. And even then Kisha was wrong along the way in regards to my ex. She missed the stuff in between though. I still, however, recommend her :).

I had little things manifest along the way but nothing major.

I have a feeling it will be the same thing now even though I feel I’ve found a better class of readers and have learned to utilize the readings better. Good thing is I don’t think this time I’ll be as devastated lol so that’s my silver lining! 😂

I try not to even think about all the weirdos I called before I found this board every single one except maybe two said my ex was coming back. Heck Yona even said he's coming back still but I haven seen or talked to him since Dec. I will not even entertain the idea of him if he does now. My silver lining is finding Yona and realizing the other day when she pulled the ex as my shadow card my guides are telling me to quit making the same damn mistakes 😂 I think Yona and Matilda are going to be my go tos and only once every 4 to 6 months with each. I beg everyone not to fall into the trap like we did of posting too much giving up to much info and calling too much. Some posters and lurkers are not in it for your best interest. Message to anyone lurking or posting for unethical reasons Karma is a bitch and it will bite you in the ass one day.

I've leant far too late that it is better to get a general reading. Yes, they can still go to each area of your life and hover over each subject, but it's easier to suss out when they are just making things up and not really connecting or psychic at all. Usually they are pulling things out of a hat and asking if it makes sense and you're getting bored with saying nope all the time.

Also I guess it's easier for the genuine readers to get whatever info spirit need to give, if you ask a specific subject they could be making things up or if the reader is actually genuine I've found sometimes they exaggerate on things or think of anything to say, especially if they run out of info.

Best way is click on the user name check if they have been registered for a long time, for example my registration says 2012 but I was here longer than that, then look to see if they have reviewed any major reader and read with different readers, if so they might be the real deal, do not really look at their titles, that can be misleading...

The psychics on Keen might be lurking around in here but this place is deceptive all on it's own.  The minute something is said that the current "hero members" don't agree with, they are all over the person and, as has happened many times now, the person that made the controversial statement usually ends up getting kicked out.  I would love to see it play out sometime.  I can't even keep up with who is who in here.  Apparently, if you aren't in here every day you miss out.  Seems like a lot of people are accused of being psychics in here lurking around and all of the regulars know who they are.....I am just sitting her clueless trying to figure it out.

Another thing - it seems there are an awful lot of comments made toward "lurkers" and it is not appreciated if you don't participate.  I have greatly minimized my calling, therefore, don't have a lot to add at the moment, so now i worry that I will be accused of lurking.

just my opinion.....don't jump on me.

I would agree to what happened lately to this forum, I was with this forum not too long, until i decided to join in Jan this year. I read and i didn't reply much.
But lately, i would say from past 2 months things were getting a bit of nasty until the genuine members here got too confused if they need a proper review of a good psychic.
I think we all know that not all psychics work with everyone, hit and miss is very common as well, timelines, predictions will never set in stone as your energies, your mindset, your vibrations changing day to day.
Just be kind to everyone here, even though if they are fake, you know it and you have your own judgement, ignore and move on. What you all losing is your own self integrity and positivity, if that make sense?
I wish you all a wonderful day! Psychics do help if you use them wisely :)

I haven't had a problem honestly with older members. We all have favorites and our own opinions, but the drama of late seemed to come from newbies. I mean we all have to use common sense. If someone is over the top defensive of a reader, puts down most other readers, has outcomes that seem too good to be true,  then there's nothing wrong with healthy skepticism.

And here's the thing. The reader may have nothing to do with the shills, but is it worth the risk? Idk.

Oh Lordy Hun....i have been away too long.  I missed all the fun.  I just tried to read the Matilda thread to catch up but I just don't have the brain cells for it, plus I am working on a really good bottle of Pinot Noir.  HOWEVER......the funniest thing I took away from all that drama was the following:

Fidget is grabbing the tequila.

Fidget has cheap tequila because she doesn't get paid for posting that Matilda didn't work for her.

Fidget is sad  that she doesn't have a reputation to be ruined. :(

Fidget is ready to spin tonight.


Thank you, once again, Fidget for being the levity on this board.  Speaking of lurkers and newbies does anybody remember Satu/Satu PeePee....holy mother she was funny....brutal but funny.....if you don't take the boards to seriously.

Most fakes don't have patient to be on the forum for a long time because they eventually get caught and come back with new user names so they never really get to be old enough but to every rule, there's an exception, are they only reading with only one reader? well, it could be, eventually but you should be able to spot a fake a real user eventually. Most of the member around 2012 can be trusted. If they went and opened their own psychic shops, I can't say but if they did they will be caught ....

Oh Lordy Hun....i have been away too long.  I missed all the fun.  I just tried to read the Matilda thread to catch up but I just don't have the brain cells for it, plus I am working on a really good bottle of Pinot Noir.  HOWEVER......the funniest thing I took away from all that drama was the following:

Fidget is grabbing the tequila.

Fidget has cheap tequila because she doesn't get paid for posting that Matilda didn't work for her.

Fidget is sad  that she doesn't have a reputation to be ruined. :(

Fidget is ready to spin tonight.


Thank you, once again, Fidget for being the levity on this board.  Speaking of lurkers and newbies does anybody remember Satu/Satu PeePee....holy mother she was funny....brutal but funny.....if you don't take the boards to seriously.

Welcome back Jas! Satu peepee! Yes, omg...the profile pic. Lmao! That was the first person I thought of when someone suggested that members don't get banned. Satu came back with 3 different names after getting banned multiple times. Lol

Be careful. They read this forum and i was wondering why one reader i had no issue with blocked me on keen.  I always left her really good reviews but did not call too much.  Suddenly im blocked on both her accounts.  Ugh... It's so disgusting how sneaky some of them can be. And don't listen to most of them seriously.  A really popular one made negative predictions about my POI and this B gonna tell me to leave someone behind because of her dumbass fcking cards .  i know many completly believe these psychics but more of them are getting bold and telling people to make huge life decisions with so much confidence.  I saw a post on here not too long ago about a woman almost losing her bf because of a psychic telling her negative stuff that wasn't true in the end.

That's the problem. They are okay to use free will and "they're not God" for your predictions, but they make quite bold and sometimes out there validations for the now which could be very untrue. For example a reader told me that someone wasn't in contact with me because he kissed a girl on a night out and he was too ashamed to admit it incase I never forgave him and left him? Luckily I just knew deep down that this was a bit ridiculous, I knew it was off and there were other reasons behind it. If I messaged him about this I could have looked completely crazy and I think readers need to be careful before giving such delicate info. It can ruin innocent people.

They use "it's for entertainment only" to put the blame on you but the truth is 99.9999% of the people do not call for entertainment.

Some of them become so prideful and arrogant they really believe they are right and will be proven right, no matter what the client says. They literally shut out all possibility that they could be mistaken. The worst thing is when a reader is ego driven, even if they are gifted, they get major blind spots about their abilities and what they can or can't do.

That's my experience, too. I don't think I've ever met a reader who admitted that they got things wrong. They always blame timing, free will or they say I'm lying or don't know about something or whatever other reason. Some wouldn't let it go when I say nope, something doesn't connect with me. For example, same guy - one asked me if I were married or had a baby with him. I didn't. So then said he has a secret family and married elsewhere that I don't know about. That he was a con artist and it got really over the top to the point where I just hang up as it was like a film script.

I think the problem is, it's supposed to be entertainment purposes and people don't call up for entertainment often times, but the readers need to be careful and stick to those guidelines when handing out info. They make it seem so certain, the amount of times I've actually been promised and sworn he would be back, or he loves me or he has a secret family and wife. They say things like they'll quit their job and being a reader if they're wrong and because you're vulnerable you fall for it at the time and believe it all.

Readers very often make what they are saying gospel and if they said "he might still have feelings for you but I'm not God and I can't tell you for certain, you need to work out for yourself and add up your situation as this is for entertainment", people may begin to get dissatisfied and maybe not get so addicted as they would tire of hearing that. It's because readers string them along (sometimes unmeaningfully) that something will happen that they wait on it or timescales extend and they have to call up the reader for what's going on now kinda things.

I think it's very dangerous for a reader to say someone is cheating or whatever else along those lines because lots have been found to get even the present very wrong, they couldn't have gotten the present more opposite for me.

I find it funny how they say he may contact but free will he might change his mind, but then they never say they don't see him contacting but in his free will he may change his mind later down the line.

I fully agree but that’s when you put your foot  down and hang up and delete that advisor off of your list. A lot of readers are doing it for the money plain and simple not for entertainment or helping people with their REAL GOD GIVEN GIFTS but simply just doing it to pay the bills or fund their lifestyles. That’s why I stick to the same readers. I do venture off to other readers for another opinion or to see if they could pick up uncanny details but I always end up wasting my money. Also, there simply are readers who just doesn’t work for everybody. The ones that absolutely never failed me I’ve read on here that they were completely wrong for others. No one knows your story better than you and God though!

I agree and sadly, I do think that some readers are really bitter in their lives and tell lots of people bad news because they don't want to hand out happy news, they like to cause destruction in relationships.

I also agree that nobody knows our real ending apart from us and God, too. I know I've mentioned it often but gut feelings have never been wrong for me yet every single reader time and time again couldn't have gotten things more wrong. So it's a lesson for me to take psychic advice for free as that's most accurate and trustworthy/doesn't let me down, isn't full of greed and false hope.

Hi all, I wanted to make a post on here to clear a few things up. I didn't want to make this post because honestly I don't want to start arguing on here, people can be pretty nasty and personal with one another instead of having a healthy debate. But I want to vent on things which are kind of getting to me and others who privately write to me.

There are a few users recently who have just joined and keep defending some controversial readers recently in multiple postings saying "well this reader has been good for me, that reader has been good for me and the people writing bad things about this and that reader are mean and being unfair".

Like I said before in posts, just because a reader works for you, that doesn't mean that they haven't done underhand things outside of readings, or not been great for others. And I feel like people get way too defensive of readers, they're not our friends or family (unless they are and that's why you're defending them so much). But it happens often on here, I see people write "well I just tried this reader and the stuff said about them is not true at all" - well how can you know for sure just because you read for them and they were good for you, that they haven't done anything sketchy with other people? I think it's fair in saying that we can post a reader was good/not good but leave it at that, people are getting way too defensive sometimes of a reader and they don't know the full story. It's happened with a few people who have had sketchy experiences with certain readers and people get really defensive of the reader but if more than one person is coming out with evidence or doubtful of that reader, they surely all can't be wrong or against a reader for no reason? It's come to my mind to post this as it's something that, since being on this board I've heard from others, seen myself in arguments and been involved with. It leads to arguments often because people defend readers a little OTT. I'm not saying that readers don't get false things said about them ever and that's okay, but surely only the reader knows and can come on to defend themselves with their evidence. Being a customer who has read with a reader and just because they like that reader that doesn't mean you can come on and defend a reader and say they are clear of any wrongdoing. I hope people understand where I'm coming from. I'm sure many of us have been in a situation on here where we had someone get a little defensive without knowing the full story. I understand because a reader is good for you that you think well how can it be possible that they are behaving like that and doing certain things with someone else, but at the end of the day based on my experiences I've trusted readers too to then find out they weren't so innocent as made to be. All I'm saying is please let's all hear one another's individual experiences without putting the accusations down just because they were good for you. We all have our own stories and have a right to be here and have our say, and this forum is all about supporting and listening to each other without getting personal.

In my opinion I think when someone defends a reader it is because of their emotional state. Not saying that in a bad way. I know if I got a reading and was given what I truly believe will happen and someone said how horrible and wrong that reader is it definitely affects my emotions. In my case I get upset and depressed. Others may get upset and defensive to try to prove what they were told is right. I just pass over the arguments and try to weight the good readings with the bad on any particular reader.

I understand what you're saying. I have defended readers in the past also (and been accused of being them) because they told me something positive, such as the ex was going to come back and for someone else to come along and say "oh don't trust them" made me panic and doubt my readings. It's just a common theme that people defend a reader and there are two sides to a story. People are feeling uncomfortable to post because they may be accused of lying or whatever else and that's not fair. That's the whole point of these forums, to be honest and write reviews - good or bad.

I think it’s really important to remember that a reader isn’t your friend.  Folks, this is a business relationship.  You are paying for a service that they are rendering.  This doesn’t give you an excuse to be rude to them or demanding, but to treat them with the respect you’d give anyone else providing a service you paid for.  I really hated my reading with Karenjo.  But to say she’s wrong wouldn’t be truthful.  She may very well be correct.  Yes, one of the readers I like was the topic of sketchy behavior.  Do I know for sure that the allegations are false?  No, I don’t know.  The thing is that I don’t care.  For me, she provides a valuable service.  The minute her service stops being valuable to me, based on my definition of what valuable means, is when I’ll stop reading with her.  It’s important to try and provide reviews in an objective manner, which I know is hard considering that the subject matter is emotionally charged.  Just remember, the relationship each of us has with these psychics is a business relationship.

You said it right. Its business relationship which is why its worrying when some posters here are defending some psychics and attacking others over their reviews, this is unethical and nothing objective about it, i dont like when someone tells other people how they should post their feedback they dont have to be objective cos when you pay for a service and they got it wrong and did not offer a refund that becomes cheating because you did not get what you paid for and you have the right to say it how you feel

secondly, if the psychic is genuine why are there fake users defending them and i have witnessed two fake users that was busted and removed from the site because they purposely set up multiple accounts to rave about this psychic to lure people to read with them including fake testimonials, so there is nothing anyone can say to convince me that this particular psychic is genuine or honest as you cant pull that off and expect people to think its normal, you wouldn't even go that length for a friend talk less someone who is just a business relationship.

So in my opinion let everyone post whatever they like as long as you are not defending or attacking each other i dont see how that should be  anyone's business, i have seen people say horrible things about psychic that gave me a good read, that doesn't me i should comment at that point to contradict what they were saying or defend them- i just kept it to myself

agree there are new fake users and i hope they get exposed and booted off like the recent ones

It’s a sad fact for this and many forums, but continually happens again and again and again. Clients defending readers, who they really don’t know, who really don’t care about them, etc. I’ve seen it become such a huge tornado that entire threads are removed and members are attacked because of it and their reviews are ripped apart and they are blamed for the bad reading instead of the reader.

If you are confused about this, just try to keep in mind, if you are one of these defenders that this forum is to review readers aka Psychics, NOT Members, not each other. This has served me well in my longevity here.

Yep it certainly has led to many arguments and craziness before which is why it is such a problem. It's better to just post and leave it to others to say yes they were good or not, it just makes people feel uncomfortable to review and so the responses wouldn't be genuine.

Yep so true. I've posted about readers to only have someone post after and say that particular reader was a fraud. Guess what?? My feelings weren't hurt and if that reader is off doing their job and not concerned what others are saying about them, their feelings aren't hurt either. Readers never use their bad reviews to learn from their mistakes anyway. ALL READERS WON'T WORK FOR EVERYONE. Most readers know this and they should expect that every other caller is not going to get a stellar reading. That's just the way it works. Period.

Exactly, if a reader works for you then regardless of if someone else says they're a fraud or whatnot it shouldn't matter as you know they were good for you personally. The customer isn't going to make any money (or shouldn't) by defending a reader anyway, I just see it as (like someone said above) some of the time a person doesn't want to hear something bad said about that paticular reader (whoever they are) as it makes them mistrust their reading and predictions given, especially positive ones. But it shouldn't matter as even with top readers such as Yona she works for some and not others.

Agree with most what is said above, What i would say though is CERTAIN READERS WON'T WORK FOR EVERYONE, far 2 Negative elements on here its really sad reading at times, But most is good vibes, from many on here, Its such a shame Because im sure most are here for hope and happiness, And some NEED a fairy tale to keep them going.

Potential shill flags:

1. New members posting super frequently right away which may be an attempt to reach full member status (which gives more street cred) quickly since that is based on number of posts (101) and not length of membership.

2. New members replying back and forth to each other often on threads that mention a specific reader's name so that those threads continue to move to the top. When several new members are having back and forth banter for days about one reader this looks like reader promotion.

3. New members posting a specific reader's name in multiple places so threads mentioning them and their amazing abilities are visible often and everywhere, even in posts where it's really not appropriate.

4. New members posting multiple super positive posts on threads of readers who have either never been mentioned or have had a lot of either questionable or negative reviews in the past.

5. New members posting on threads all over the board to give themselves credibility, specifically posts that are partially positive or are presented as positive but that contain negative caveats that may make us question whether or not we want to try them even though others highly recommend them. This one bothers me the most because it discredits a good advisor. I'm not saying some of the typically good psychics don't have negative traits, but the last big shill posted over and over how Yona had mixed energies, picked up stuff for a relationship but it was the wrong guy, and ultimately started a whole stream of posts about whether or not Yona can ever pick up the right person or always mixes energies etc. This wasn't even a real reviewer, but not only did she promote the one reader, she discredited Yona by saying oh she's good and I really like her, she's in my top five but she mixed this up and that up and her timing is bad etc etc etc. Btw, I have not yet read with Yona and I almost didn't schedule with her because of all of those posts. I'm happy to say though that I am scheduled to read with her in October. Yona wasn't the only psychic she half promoted, half criticized but she was the main one so that's why I'm mentioning her.)

6. Inconsistencies in new member's posts.

I caution against assuming because a member actually has the balls to question a suspicious new member that they have issues. I fully expect people to take my reviews with a grain of salt since I have only been a member about 9 months. I need to earn your trust and so do the other new members. We need to put in our time and not be exhibiting several of the aforementioned behaviors. In time your trust will come, but please do not trust reviews implicitly. Like Mad Moody in Harry Potter always said, "constant vigilance".

I haven't been attacked on this forum yet (knock on wood), but I can understand why some members might feel the need to defend their reader(s); it's likely the criticism crystallizes this kernel of doubt about the prediction/outcome they've received from that reader, thus causing that knee-jerk reaction to silence the naysayer rather than consider the alternative. Still, if a reader has worked for someone then it really shouldn't matter what criticism others might have posted with respect to their experiences.

My motivation for sharing my negative experiences comes from a place of hoping that someone, somewhere, won't make the same mistakes, and hopefully save a couple bucks in the process. However, if another member is convinced in their heart of hearts that the reader I may have had an awful experience with, is indeed genuine (or accurate), I would never want to take that away from them, or dump on their hopes.

With that said, and maybe I'm biased here, I don't think that new members should necessarily be seen as more suspect than veteran members.

Likewise I have, and others have a right to say hey reader x was sketchy too without people defending that reader. We all have a right to say whatever is the truth and our experiences. I think that this is a little unfair, so you're saying we should have untrue reviewing because others wanna defend a reader which makes others uncomfortable to post?

I'm gonna get spanked here, but I disagree only because prior to this recent drama, we absolutely had newbie shills getting booted only to set up new accounts and then proven, by the admin, to be generated from the same IP address. So yeah, it was a newbie thing. It's not to say that a vet couldn't go rogue. It's possible. A newbie could be a booted vet returning, but they would still be a newbie by staus.

Fidget is not a shill and needs a drink.

After rereading my comment, I wondered if it even made sense. Lol
