Blogging chat on Reddit

SusieBlue

If anyone wants access they should PM "wendydoll" here on boards, with their Reddit username. She's a Mod over on Reddit, so its up to her who gets approved. A lot of people with no posts are currently requesting access over on Reddit so I don't think those people will be accepted in case they're sh*t stirrers, but she will probably accept anyone who is coming over from Boards.

wendydoll

I've added people that PM'd me here. If anyone else on here wants to be added just PM me

Anyone else looking to be added please make sure you have history of posting on the social media and blogging form

It's gone a bit crazy over there now Sasha. It's moved to a closed private group due to trolling. Do you have a Reddit account?

I can understand how MUF edits/curates Instagram pics but how would she do it on Snapchat? None of the filters can do that and even the ones that slightly can are very obvious that they're a filter with bunny ears for example. She looked quite trim today and does go to the gym a lot!

As Anna said, if you PM Wendy when you make an account with your username she’ll approve you and we’ll help show you the ropes, it’s far more active than Boards.

I joined Reddit yesterday to have a nose on what's going on over there, can't get in, but I'm an active user here on boards can I have access @wendydoll?

You might be better off PMing her

Sorry to butt in, but I think you would be better off with your own subreddit rather than posting in a "megathread" (just checked that link from the post above).

Also, I highly recommend using the Reddit Enhancement Suite FF/Chrome addon for sorting / hiding comments. Takes a little bit of setting up, but it's worth it.

Narwhal bacon / le reddit army and all that malarkey... :pac:

We have one but thanks for the suggestion.

Edit- if you looked at the link from the beginning of this thread its changed in the last few days to a private subreddit group with limited access.

Folks can you stop asking me to add you the private reddit group if you have no history posting on the blogging thread here!

It's literally wasting your time and mine because I once I see you haven't contributed to the blogging threads I just delete the message. Those on reddit that have no posting history on reddit aren't getting access and it's the same over here. In the interest of fairness it's the same rule across the board.

If I see someone else tells me they are a long time lurker I'm going to flip :eek:

Lougarden

I'm not a lurker I promise I'm feeling very alone here I don't have a Reddit account either. I looked at the main page and ran it scared me off :eek: If I set up an account in my username from here Wendy can I ask you to add me in please? I think it will take me some time to get used to it but there is ziltch happening here lately and I miss it.

You'll get the hang of it in no time, we all know you aren't a lurker. Set up your account and PM Wendy your username!

Reddit is grand, once you get used to it. I used to be the same but I enjoy it now. There's loads of interesting subs on it.

Lougarden

Thanks so much, I'm so used to it here for navigating but if everyone else can manage I'll get there. I've been missing you all strangely :P I haven't been able to see CBB yet too which is my other love so feeling very sad for myself and can't go there for fear of spoilers which is hell. I have a binge catch up with a few days off ahead of me, so happy. I set up under my name and have sent a message to Wendy so hopefully see you all there soon.

I now ill probably get a slap on the wrist for this but since the other thread was closed down under threat of legal action, maybe we could take our discussion to another forum where we can discuss such issues freely. One beginning with R and ending with T where we could set up our own Irish Blogger sub? The Irish media might pick up on it more too since a main Irish paper nicks half their online content from that site anyway.

I have not been online for a day or three with flu, so i have not seen the link to Reddit, nor gone to reddit, but i just saw the OP and as i scroll through, it seems private (I have not request to be added - yet ), but it is my understanding that if it is private, then it is less likely that the Irish Media (or any media) will pick up on it.

It was moved to private in the last few days because it was constantly being attacked by trolls.
It's already been picked up by the media after what happened over the weekend.
You'll see a few posts above that only posters who are active in the social media forums will be added

I’m active on blogging forums but haven’t been added yet. I’m missing Reddit had only joined of recent times so only have one post on the closed thread yet.

Does this apply too all fora I has asked to join the reddit as I had been active there but not here!

The original Reddit thread is still active.

The original thread is still active and can be used, I was just explaining to that poster why some people were using a private subreddit too.

Hi all,

I Pm'd Wendydoll here and I joined Reddit with the same name. How do I even find the chat?

I can't believe how dead this chat has become. I feel like someone playing the violin on the sinking titanic! Someone hand me a door I can climb aboard on Reddit!

reddits great, you're allowed have your own opinion, discussion isn't edited or controlled by bloggers and it's not an echo chamber

Drop Wendy a PM over on Reddit and she’ll approve you as soon as she can. Or else post on the public page, and I’ll tag Wendy and the other mod underneath.

It’s honestly so fab over there, so many like minded people. Loads have moved over from Boards the last few days and they seem to be getting on really well. Looking forward to seeing you over there x

There's the original thread which is public in a general forum.
There's a MUF and other threads are in a private forum called ibloggerchat. So if you can get into ibloggerchat, you'll see the MUF thread and all the rest of the different threads.

Hi Emmser did you hear back yet? I’m waiting and not sure how I can see if wendydoll received my PM? With all the MUF stuff today I’m dying to get back to Reddit! I was only getting hooked on it when it went private so typical!

Public Blogger chat on Reddit is here. If you've been chatting in the main one previously, then you can apply for the private group iBloggerChat. It had to be made private after a flood of trolls.

I can't do that!!

Any reason for the strictness of access on the ibloggerchat? I've never posted in any of the threads but like reading them (pure nosiness). I didn't PM wendydoll for access because she was pretty clear that only people who normally post & chat will be allowed. Just wondering if since the big fuss has died down a bit there's probably less likely to be a bunch of trolls & could the subreddit be made open again?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

The public thread is still open and can be used for discussion. I think it's strict because the amount of trolls and threats people were getting and to be honest it's pretty unfair to expect to be given access to view a discussion you don't want to take part in

SusieBlue

Yeah, especially considering trolls have threatened to expose a good couple of members real identities and inform their employers, it just has to be this way.

The only way to get in is by making contributions on the public thread and I think that’s more than fair.

SpillingTheTea

I think it’s fair tbh. I mean I get that people lurk and that’s grand but the public one is grand for that. I think the fact that the trolls ruined it for everyone and it just a precaution and they every right to do that, especially for the regular posters on the thread

The private chat isn't possible to get into anymore unless you are very very well known to the moderators. I was in it and contributing daily, only to wake up one morning to find myself gone. It happened lots of others too. I'm definitely not a troll or argumentative. I tried contact the moderators to ask why but was blocked.

It's definitely a lively forum in comparison to boards or even the public one and everyone is pleasant there. It's a pity it had to go private in the first place.

But my point being, it's very hard to get into to, near impossible, and when in it, you can be removed without any explanation. You're far better trying to contribute here on boards. It's definitely less of 'a click'.

It's not a clique at all Emmser. I don't know why you were removed as I wasn't around at the time and the mods don't talk about their decisions to other people which I think is very fair but I wouldn't call 150+ people cliquey.

By 'clique' I meant a group of people with shared interests and people deciding who gets in, stays in or are let go. I meant no insult.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

People were randomly removed the night private posts were copied and pasted in the public thread threatening to doxx people. That meant the private group had a mole and the moderators are working through accounts to readd them when we could be sure the poster was genuine, but TBH bad mouthing the group is a sure fire way to stay excluded
