There have been several posters who are disturbed by liubot's recent posts and have suggested that we try to ban the IP. Starry and I felt it was fair to let everyone on the board decide.
I would really prefer that this not turn into a huge debate, or liubot bashing. I'll delete the poll if things take a turn for the worse.

It's hard to say. It seems like this place might be a good outlet for her, but it doesn't help if she doesn't heed the advice given. Everyone just ends up frustrated. Nothing will change for her until she gets the actual help she needs.

I am going to be snarky here for a moment - as I have NEVER once posted on any of Liubot or her other SN's post. But do you really need to do a poll on this! Really?
People are adults. It is a public forum. As stated before and as MCC just stated, ignore the posts, ignore her!
If one feels the need to stoop to her level and "feed" her threads, well then, as I have always heard, "You Can't Teach Stupid!"
I keep to myself with all the drama on these boards and have been for the 8+ yrs I have been here (including TN), but to actually ask for a poll on this just makes me SMH.

Just sayin'!
Bernadine and I are just trying to be fair Mods for the board as we have had people PM us or report posts about Liubot.

I'm in the ignore camp. Whether her posts are a bit crazy or not, it is the internet and a public board. I think it goes with the territory.
Plus, my optimist side thinks maybe some of the things we've told her have sunk in. And maybe she really is doing better than she was. Whether she has made good or bad choices with advice given who are we to judge, it is ultimately her life and she gets to deal with it.
Life is a journey and we've all had our own fair share of bad decisions.

It seems that the people who dislike it should not open a post by her then. It is easy enough to not engage. I don't think she has done anything to offensive.
I guess I'm confused as to what's disturbing? Liubot herself? The responses she evokes? I'm wondering why people want to have her banned. Other than making her someone else's problem, I'm not sure of the point.

I understand asking. Moderators sometimes get power hungry, or delete happy, or accused of one or the other. I don't see anything wrong with taking the board's temperature.
Well I think her calling people the "C" word crosses the line but that's just me
I believe that was me who got called the "C" word. Honestly I didn't bat an eye because I just considered the source.
That's the spirit!
Liubot lashes out like a pro when she feels backed into a corner, and that sucks. That said, I don't think she's done anything ban-worthy, even if she was the fake JM. She doesn't disrupt the whole dynamic of the board, and she hasn't harassed anyone. The second it gets to that point (if it does), off with her head. Until then, I think banning is a little much.
Personally, I think this board isn't a healthy outlet for her. I mean, did you ever think she comes here for validation? She lies to make someone pat her on the head and say "good job!" That isn't healthy, and I feel like banning her may be the best option. She may come back, sure, but as it is she is disturbing other posters, and I believe that is against the TOS, correct?

It isn't she herself is disturbing, though on some level she is, it is the ruckus her posts cause that is disturbing to me. The anger she incites is unhealthy for everyone involved, and as such, it is my personal opinion that she brings nothing of value to this board.

I appreciate what you, the moderators, are trying to do but she will just make up another alias and continue on her tyrant as long as she gets a response from us. I mean she is back on as a fifteen yr old for goodness sakes. Maybe thats a good sign she knows her maturity level. If we ignore her she does not get the rise she loves since she feeds on drama. I vote to ignore and not feed the drama monster.

If the mods ban her IP, she can not just make a new name and come back. She would no longer be able to post here from her personal computer (or whatever computer she uses to post).
What's this about posing as a 15 year old girl?? I missed something!
Before she deleted she listed her bday in 1997. That was the one that showed two posts ...ill try to find it but ive been ignoring it. I dont know the history of the girl but got irritated when i saw her lash at you all. And there was no reason too, even the people that were giving tough love werent out of line and didnt deserve the things she said. I havent been here that long, but i do know that much.
