Re: Direct Messaging (DMs)

Alot of these changes are happening without warning and very suddenly, which isn't fair at all to us as service users. There's no evidence provided to us or explanations of these new legislations. From what I can understand from the limited information, I can't understand why adults can't message eachother.

Hi @Redemption, thank you for sharing this experience with us. I can hear how the current situation with your neighbours is unsettling and challenging. Being threatened to the point of police involvement sounds like a scary situation, and it makes sense that you might feel scared for your safety, as well as frustrated at the lack of unfair treatment compared to other neighbours.

Just to check, have you had any similar incidents since two years ago, or have the police been involved/contacted since that time about these neighbours (either if they had an issue with you, or any other neighbours)? I can hear that it can be frustrating having a strained relationship with next-door neighbours, and it's unfortunate that you're right next to them. How do you feel about that relationship? Do you think there's a chance that it could be repaired, or do you feel like it's not one you'd want to restart given the past incidents? I hope that you and your family are all safe - we're here to support you.

@Azziman Thank you so much for your kind and understanding message I really appreciate your support. Since the most serious incident, there haven’t been any further situations quite like that. There have been a couple of minor things, but nothing major, and the police haven’t been involved again since then.

To be honest, I still feel quite unhappy about the relationship with our neighbours as you can probably tell. I really wish the whole situation had never happened in the first place. It’s difficult living next to someone when there’s that kind of tension. That said, I think there might be a small chance of repairing things. If it were possible to put the issues behind us, I believe that would be a positive step it would certainly make things easier for everyone involved. Thanks again for being here and offering support. It really does mean a lot.

Re: Direct Messaging (DMs)

im sry but this is absolute garbage. stopped mods from talking to each other but now us. seems like a prison more then a support community. this is going to make everyone leave bc your stopping us from being ‘human’.

Re: Direct Messaging (DMs)

@Lili5Bet you are absolutely right in spotting the pattern. I’ve spotted it too. Mods can’t swap shifts anymore so chats run far far less as well.

@toffuna101 it 100% is not what it was, even 6 months ago. The turning point was the closure of the hug thread. That was the start of all this. It makes me sad too, because like @Loz I’ve been here for a long time (9.5 years) and have never seen so much change, so many people leaving, and so much bad feeling in the entire time I have been here. I mean that.
