I’m reading this thread and agree that banning a very well liked and valuable contributor is totally unjust. I do hope the moderators reconsider their decision following all the very positive support for Allira. (Enjoy your daughters’ visit 💐).

If a site is run for the enjoyment and benefit of its members, and the moderators exist to protect the interests of its members, surely it behoves the moderators to take the wishes of the members into account and to respond accordingly?

There have been no dissenting voices, all seem to be in complete agreement on the issue of Allira’s banning, so it seems in this case there is quite a lot to be gained by reversing the decision to ban her.

Very well said and I am more than happy to add my voice to the 'Bring back Allira movement'.

As I was advised a couple of years ago to exchange email addresses with posters I liked in case they disappeared off the forum I did just that with half a dozen people

3 of whom have now been banned

And none of whom ever received warnings prior to their ban!
The. Mods tell us this is the procedure

It is not

Nor any contact later
There is no court of appeal and extenuating circumstances are never taken into consideration

😱😱😢😢🤬🤬

Buttercups to tell us we like butter if the yellow reflected under our chin. Those were the days when I only had one chin.

Hahaha Well my three chins all like butter!

I hope Allira returns and poster X disappears

I think this has affected most of us. I think twice and think again before posting and sometimes don't post or delete what I have typed in case someone finds it offensive in some way.

It does FGT

LauraNorderr Fri 05-Jun-26 14:17:35

It certainly does suck. It’s the injustice that hurts the victim more than the banishment itself, while the perpetrator remains anonymous and probably feeling smug.

It sucks

True.

Strange that none of us on this thread have seen an offensive post by Allira and I have seen lots of her posts both as Allira and Callestamon.

Cressy Fri 05-Jun-26 13:18:52

Time to join in I reckon. Good afternoon Allira. I have read many of your posts and none seemed offensive to me.

Same here Aveline, indeed those were the days. Avoided the dandelions after hearing tales of bed wetting but the daisies always seemed harmless.
Still love the smell of dew on the grass and the feel under bare feet.

And buttercups! Cannot remember the last time I actually sat on grass thanks

Ah sitting in the grass. I remember that. Those were the days (when I could get back up again!)

LauraNorderr Fri 05-Jun-26 11:44:38

Good morning Allira.
I think we all agree with BlueBelle that we want to see truth and fairness prevail with your return under your own name.
Being in Siberia I am missing some small things, I used to love sitting on the grass picking wild flowers and making chains. Don’t think I’d enjoy doing that any more.

Aveline Fri 05-Jun-26 11:36:14

Allira Allira Allira!

Well today’s connecting wall was easy Allira and thus far we’ve all done well. I’m sure you’ll have done well too. Hope something nice planned with the girls. Well I say girls, that’s what I still call my daughters.

Cossy Fri 05-Jun-26 11:18:51

Please bring Allira back, it’s clear the majority of us both support and miss her thanks
