Platy had a similar problem to Mox, except it spilled over into real life. Stuff getting sent to the house and so on.


That's what would annoy me. Someone sending me stuff and just generally harrassing me. I can't really see Russian criminals sending junk mail. At least they'd have the decency to stop by in person.


We also had an ex-internet-friend of Platy's threaten to get someone she knew to come and burn down our house. I reported her to the UK police, "just in case" anything happened. wink.gif

Welcome slim, I see you are new here. You might want to read up on this little "korat" cyber stalker thing I had going awhile back. smile.gif

It's one thing to put your info out on the internet, although take it from me, I sure wish I'd protected my identity a lot better. But it's another thing to bait criminals, especially Russian criminals, with information traceable back to you. These are not kids in their mom's basement. It's not a game to them.

Seriously though, I get tons of these in my junk email - mostly from Africa, but all along similar lines. It's a scam and your best bet is to not reply. By replying they now know it's a valid email addy with someone on the other end. It's likely to mean you'll get even more now, unfortunately. sad.gif

Tara, it was a clear grey area topic. Those are to be left in the original forum in which they were posted - the guidelines are clear on this. General mod consensus is that it should have been left in the RU forum. wink.gif

I'm going to draw a line under this now...*draws wobbly line* and suggest we all move on. To keep rehashing this just drags it on an don and on like a duracell battery.

Therefore I'm going to exert some modly powerz! and lock this thread.

After the latest rounds of "overly-helpful" organizers moving threads out of the RU forum because it's Wednesday or something, I started this thread in the Site Discussion forum. Charles finally admitted fault and issued a mass apology (except he totally didn't, DO NOT GET HIM STARTED HE IS SENSITIVE!!!! smile.gif ) but before closing the thread Ewok issued this directive:
To those members who feel a thread was moved improperly simply PM me with a link to the thread and tell me where it used to be. I will make the final call on if it should be moved back and I will notify the organizer. Ultimately the goal is to encourage organization of the site while balancing the ability for members to freely post topics where they feel they best belong.
So basically, if someone starts moving threads again, please make sure to let Ewok know about it ASAP because making noise about it seems to be the only way we're going to shut this silliness down. I'd also recommend CC'ing your favorite mod too because Ewok tends to get busy and has been know to take awhile to get around to an issue.

I don't think any of those superstitions are just restricted to Russia. They are all ones that are known in the UK and Europe. The ladder one especially - mainly cause if you walk under a ladder you're likely to get something dropped on your head!

P.S. I don't understand the "English only" rule AT ALL.


Well, English is the language of the USA, the country to which we all are emigrating to, or live in. Another reason is that the majority of us all speak English on this website, be it our first language or even our second or third.

Lastly, if you want to speak in another language that IS fine, but it means that the subject will get moved to the regional forum of where that language is spoken and more help can be gained from individuals who can speak and understand said language.

Many of us here don't speak this language, therefore we cannot help, although I know we would like to. :)

Well, I can ask for nine postcards in Spanish, or for the loo, or the bank, or the bus. And I know what household objects and rooms are called too, but I can't string sentences together, much to my chagrin. I'd love to learn, I might try again at some point cause I think it's a lovely language.

Mexico, Latin & South Americaporque los hombres son mentirosos??

Concuerdo con lo que dijeron sobre el buscar ayuda en tu iglesia o con el pediatra del niño. Pero como han sugerido algunas personas, tb. es posible que el problema es más una depresión posparto o causada por el traslado a un país desconocido en que no sabes el idioma. En cualquier caso, sea consejería matrimonial o consejos jurídicos lo que necesitas, esos sitios deberían poder ayudarle.




It's weird... her profile says she's Venezuelan, but her Spanish is just like she learned it as a second language. She does not speak Spanish, at least not fluently... it might be just a bluff or however you can call that. IMO!


Interesting....


Actually, my son, who speaks pretty fluent Spanish (Spain Spanish, not Mexican Spanish) thought it was Catalan Spanish...


Wonder why he doesn't know that Spanish and Catalan are two entirely different languages, then? They're no more the same language than Spanish and Italian are. Actually, Italian is more similar to Spanish than Catalan is.


Because he is TWELVE. Give him a break for chrissakes. According to the other poster he was pretty damn near, so he gets a big choc chip cookie from me. :thumbs:

:blink:

Maybe she is just a woman needing help...

Why her language and how she posted here is so important?


She's a troll. Read Aussiewench's earlier post with the link....

Yes she needs help...but not in the way we would ordinarily think. After reading that link any urge many of us would have to help her kind of wavers.
