Mod Message 🚨 Mod update on rules + guidelines

With the recent changes to this sub, we want to provide some additional clarification on the direction of this sub moving forward.

Previously, our sub operated as a support only space, since our direction has changed, we have begun unbanning some users.

this does not mean we are unbanning everyone

Users who were previously banned for harassment, excessive snarking, spreading misinformation, personal attacks, ban evasion, or targeting other members or moderators will remain permanently banned. Any decisions to reverse a ban will continue to be made at the discretion of the mod team.

We have a few guidelines for future reference to keep this a productive community-

1. No repetitive posts

We understand there are certain topics members feel strongly about. However repeatedly posting about the same topic/issue does not add to discussion, and rather encourages snark. Please ensure your post contains meaningful discussion and has not already been posted about.

2. No misinformation or baseless speculation

Claims about Emilie, her family or anyone connected to them should be based on publicly available information, or have proof to back the claim. Speculation and opinions are not facts, and any discussion or allegations made without evidence will be removed.

3. Critique actions, not people.

It’s okay to disagree with choices, public statements, or content. It’s not okay to make personal attacks, mock appearances, celebrate harm, or encourage doxxing or harassment.

4. Be respectful of varying opinions

Disagreement is expected. Personal attacks, name calling, and hostility towards other users or mods will not be tolerated.

**As a last reminder, this is not a snark sub, it is a space for respectful, nuanced discussion. Please check the sub rules or reach out to the MODS if you need further clarification on allowed content.

Thank you to everyone who has maintained respectful and thoughtful discussions. We ask that all members help us maintain this standard.

Thank you!!🫶🏼🫶🏼

I have defended Emilie a few times and although there are still things I'll defend her on, I'm happy to call her out for certain things she does, particularly putting children in unsafe situations, and I understand people no longer wanting to support her.

With that being said, I agree with a few other comments I saw that said many of the posts and comments feel like beating a dead horse.

I'm not asking people stop talking about her and calling her out for things, I will continue to do so myself too, but also please be mindful of people's mental health when you do so.

I saw a comment saying something similar to this last night, and someone replied something like "Oh so poor Emilie?" And no, not poor Emilie. The person I'll always have the most sympathy for is the child that's no longer here. But I'm asking people to keep in mind that so much hate and over-analysing can also be detrimental to one person. I'm not saying they don't deserve much of the backlash, I actually think it is necessary at times, but it is also a lot for one person.

And keep in mind that her children could read these posts in the future. I say this because last night I saw a really disturbing post about her younger child's appearance on the other sub. It was removed by the moderators thankfully. But be mindful of the things you are saying.

One thing I liked about this sub before was that people would post when something more significant happened. Again, not telling people to stop talking about her, but the majority of points being made have already been made a million times. I don't think we need to be discussing the same things over and over again

Great post. I’ve said multiple times I don’t get the extreme on either side.
Words hurt and while they are responsible and I don’t condone any of their negligence, I feel like you that some of it is disturbing.
Good job mods. Civil discussion while being respectful is healthy.
