Their <br />first attack against the IMod Team was to remove Robin<br />and myself from OIDG. The first set us to no email <br />(so we wouldn't get notice that they had removed us) and<br />then proceeded to take us off the group without any <br />warning. Karen also joined our status there. She was <br />removed in much the same way.<br /><br />The rules for belonging to OIDG and the Mod Squad are that<br />you must currently be an owner or moderator of a Freecycle<br />group. Those of us who have been removed all still own and<br />moderate our own trademark compliant Freecycle local groups.<br />So, why did they remove us? It was a get even gesture and<br />also by removing us, it kept our side of the story from <br />every being read on that forum.<br /><br />I went through the joining process again. After 14 days,<br />my application was let expire. The same goes for Karen.<br />Robin will know in the next couple of days if she is let to <br />expire also. The excuse the moderators of OIDG have been <br />using is, that they have to send a letter requesting additional<br />information, which needs to be answered and returned by the <br />applicant. They then have to confirm the applicants information<br />by checking with the mod squad and by sending a letter to the<br />applicants home group for confirmation of the applicants<br />affiliation with the local group.<br /><br />After 14 days, I still have not received a confirmation letter<br />to my home group from these losers. I doubt that I will either.<br />We are such a threat to them that they can't even allow us to <br />be a part of that group. My complaint is.... they are just <br />liars. They say one thing and do something totally opposite.<br />Ann is especially bad at this. Don't trust her. She would <br />chew off her own right arm before she would tell the truth, then <br />pick her teeth with her finger bones.<br /><br />We are now watching the slow fall of the Freecycle Network. They<br />have several people to thank for this. Deron, Stephanie, Nan, Gwyn<br />Ann and her robots. I won't say I told you so ..... or well, <br />maybe I will. I told you so!!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Freecycle - The Real Truth</div>Freecycle IMod Mutiny May 27, 2007http://www.blogger.com/profile/14140610239261618422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800801533971745541.post-86980990340557166502007-06-15T00:29:00.000-04:002007-06-15T00:42:47.841-04:00Compliments of a Freecycle friendCompliments of a Freecycle friend.<br /><br /><br /><br />"I think it's important to point out the difference (ironically) between piracy and mutiny.<br /><br />People are most familiar with "Mutiny on the Bounty" -- deposing an abusive despot.<br /><br />Piracy is actually appropriating someone else's property (robbery) and *not* what this<br /><br />group actually did.

Deron and Stephanie are allowed to post their uglies to all venues in Freecycle. We were either removed or gagged (moderated) in all venues. They are doing this because they know the truth will hurt them. Members and moderators alike are wising up. Groups so have pulled out of the Freecycle Network. There will most certainly be others to leave.

Deron, Stephanie and Nan have cornered the market in the Freecycle venue for telling their story and have sealed it up water tight so no one can call them on the untrue things they have said and continue to say. They are regularly accused of unfair treatment, strongarming, bullying, lying to members and moderators and much more. It wasn't until the last few months that we got to see first hand what it was like to be under the microscope of the scheming threesome. We found out who our many true friends are.
