    BEST IMA- that’s a very good question. When I saw those horrible posts on friday(and they were a lot worse then last night’s), I figured mistakes happen. But when that same screen name posted yesterday, and was let through I was very surprised. Why wasn’t he blocked IMMEDIATELY?

    That had ZERO EXCUSE.

    OOMIS- no one expects mods to sit and moderate 24/7, but this is their job after all. They should have some kind of beeping sound to alert a new post and they should moderate ASAP.

    These horrible posts were up for hours-fri and yesterday-much too long.

    AZOI: we have a few probs here:

    I think that the moderating part has to occur quicker so if something does get up there, it gets deleted ASAP.

    I think a good solution to this new system would be if the mods review all posts very SOON after they were posted. Because all of these inappropriate post were up for hours.

    The mods should constantly be on the lookout for new posts and moderate immediately (as soon as possible).

    Ronrsr, ur 100% percent right about it having advantages. I am not in the least bit offended from his posts, my heart is actually aching for him.

    Its true about being able to have a conversation this new way, but I hope it doesn’t turn the coffee room into inappropriate posts…(By mistake of course).

    Maybe we should wait and see how things go with this new system.

    RY- that’s very bad. That means anyone can post whatever they like.

    Last week there were some disgusting posts from this poster and they were up there for HOURS. The mods obviously didn’t review a single post here in hours. That’s BAD.

    What makes this site a trusted, heimishe website if its not being moderated right.

    This poster is ruining the coffee room’s reputation. I’m deeply disappointed with the moderating here. In the past few days he’s posting one outrageous post after another in various threads and for some reason they’re going through.

    I know all he wants is recognition, so we really should ignore his posts, but the mods should be ashamed. We shouldn’t have such posts up here even by mistake.

    And to you mr angryjewboy: we understand you feel resentful and my heart aches for you, but we really don’t need dirty language here…we did nothing against you. PLEASE go get help.

    JPHONE- this time you are 100% correct. He must seek serious help which it doesn’t seem to me that he got until now.

    But please don’t attack people like this in the future. You might do permanent damage. You can never know if they’re in a bad situation…

    Wow, hereorthere. It does sound tough from what your saying. I wish we would understand those people’s intentions.

    If only those pple would realize how much their help would mean to you, and how disappointing it is that they turned away.

    As far as $, did that person have so much money to give away?

    As far as having someone living in there home- my sister had a girl living by her because she had no one else. It all worked fine until this girl really started misbehaving and setting a bad example for her own kids.

    She tried everything, and I mean everything, to help her. My sister doesn’t give up so quick. She ran around to therapists and tried to approach with good and bad, but after months of trying nothing worked.

    Her own home and kids were terribly affected and she had no choice but to send this girl away.

    I don’t know your situation but sometimes one has to do what is good for their family and help other pple in different ways.

    I really feel for you that you feel so helpless but maybe you’re not affiliated with the right people?

    Poster, you should force your mouth closed at night!!

    AFTER EIGHT, DOUBLE WEIGHT!!

    Sometimes after supper I am really hungry(really!), but I just use all my self control them.

    I’d rather cheat on that choco during the day but after supper- no food.

    It doesn’t pay…try it…

    Really you should keep back from eating at all at night even if you’re hungry. Drink something instead.

    But I sometimes do snack on an ices or fruit. Try not to eat too much more than that though.

    In my community, we started having gatherings to strenghthen our bein adam lchavero, and to discuss how we will refrain from speaking during davening in shul. We did this because we did have quite a few cases of yeneh machla in our community lately L”A.

    This way we feel that we are doing something as a zchus for these cholim. The least we can do is try!

    While we don’t know the reason for all these tzaros, we have to improve each in our own individual ways. In this zchus may every yid have a yeshuah where they need it.

    Mod 80:

    From your whole list- half of them can be pronounced with that A sound(halfways at least!)

    And many of them are pronounced with the I b4 E-(society,atheist,being), so naturally they are spelled the way they sound.

    And BTW-when I post a comment it gives me a space for tags- the word separated is spelled seperated…

    What an educational conversation!!

    Well, mod: weird does havethat A sound there. Definitely.

    Jphone: this rule is actually quite accurate. I b4 e except after c or when sounding as A.

    Most words do comply to this rule.

    But english is a crazy language nontheless. Very complicated.

    She MUST stop working. Even if it takes her husband to find a job. She shouldve stopped by her 3rd child.

    She should stop convincing herself and others that she’s managing it.

    Prob is only that the mom in law can’t get involved and tell them what to do!!

    Having recently trained my son, he is very conscious about it. He was all frantic one day after playing in high snow and he realized his pants became all wet.
