Okay ladies (and the few drama loving gentlemen who lurk around). It’s time to clarify what we’re all about here, and talk about what kind of drama we’re looking for.
We’ve gotten lots of emails about many things. Some of them make it up on the blog, some of them don’t. Let’s talk about why.
Here are Mama Drama UNCENSORED we aren’t out to persecute people that you have a personal vendetta against. We’re not about publishing the dirty little secrets of mommies who are just asking for honest advice. We will not post copy and paste from private boards. Not only can we not verify the accuracy of that copy and paste, but we believe that what happens on a private board STAYS on a private board. That’s why they are private. So what are we about? Okay, here’s a list of things that we’re looking for.
Ahhh, Trolls, trolls and more trolls. Everyone who makes up a fake persona and gets busted, comes to the board to ask stupid questions, or dispense advice that makes no sense. That’s good stuff there! That means if you get into an argument with a troll, you will most likely end up on our blog! You can’t reason with crazy, and if you try, it’s hilarious. We will post it, and we’ll laugh.
I’m Better Than You. All you crazy mamas who think you are right and everyone else is wrong. You know who you are, you makers of blanket statements! You geniuses at taking comments out of context! When you lecture someone on how you are the perfect mom, and they are not, every normal, imperfect person in the world is chuckling at you. That’s what why want to post here. So if you believe that formula kills babies, that breastfeeding is nasty, that boy toddlers in the women’s room is freaky, that teenage boys shouldn’t get to go to the bathroom alone, that children should ride rearfacing in a Britax until they are old enough to drive, that SAHMs are lazy, that WOHMs are irresponsible and selfish, blast your religious sentiments at others, blast others who have religious sentiments, think people on welfare should die or at least be sterilized, or any of the 1,001 other extreme views that are spouted with authority each and every day, you are causing some good drama and will end up on Mama Drama UNCENSORED.
Board wars made public will also be discussed. Most of us are sick of them, and just about everyone is sick of people asking about them over and over. So we’d like to clear up any questions and misconceptions about those groups as soon as possible, so we can all just stop talking about them already! For those of you looking to join on of the private boards mentioned, you are most likely wasting your time. They are private for a reason, the members are like minded and want a community where they can express whatever views they have come together on….and usually be more open and personal than the great big wide open community of BabyCenter. They are usually by invitation only. The Drama Mama thinks that board wars are the silliest thing ever, but since so many people are asking, if you belong to a private board and put stuff about how great or perfect your board is, or comments about how bad and nasty the other boards are up on BabyCenter, that will probably make it here as well. If you’re a member of a private board and would like to dispute something The Drama Mama posts about you, please email us.
Then we’ve got the ever happening discussions of religion, politics, race, class, and of course, abortion. You know when you bring those up, things will not go well. Mass drama will ensue. Embrace it or stay out of it, but don’t act surprised when it happens.
Comments. With the exception of spam and violations of personal privacy, comments on this board will not be moderated or deleted. That goes against everything we dislike about BabyCenter. Yes, there will be trolls. Yes, there will be anonymous idiots. Yes, there will be offensive comments. You don’t have to read them. But if you wade on in and get in over your head, heaven help you because the Drama Mama isn’t stepping in to put children in time out!
Lastly, the board jokes. The goofy stuff that happens on the bar thread, discussions of magic cream, the proper way to clean your vajayjay or rid yourself of crabs (caught in a public bathroom, of course). Alrighty. That’s all we’ve got! Questions, comments? Are we all on the same page now?

did you ever hear of indenting?
thanks ladies for keeping it above board. leave the slanderous crap to the ranters because they will post anything but their blog doesn’t get 1/10 the readership yours does. their information is about as accurate as well, those who said we had wmd in iraq.
keep an eye on that spay/neuter thread.
Wonderfully well put! Love it!
Wouldn’t that be libel? Slander is spoken. But what should I expect from someone who can’t even be bothered to hit the shift key. Capitalization: learn it, love it.
UMMM….lilFeatherButt and joe blow both confused libel and slander. Fancy that!
Apologies on the formatting. It’s a browser compatibility problem. We’re fixing it, and you’ll have a readable post in just a few!
lol, read most of the comments on here. tons of people don’t capitalize when they leave comments.
unless they are all the same people. now that would explain it.
thanks for the lesson on libel and slander
but imo you can slander someones name on the internet. times they are a changing.
Federal Law; No More Internet Slander
By Lance Winslow
If you google internet slander you will come up with many topics. It’s an acceptable term even though you pointed out the differences that you learned in your community college journalism class. Defamation of character is also acceptable.
Loving this.
Joe Blow: Doh-kay, ya ‘tard! We could care less about our numbers of readers, although damn have they increased since this blog started. Hell, this particular ranter visits this blog more than the ranting blog. This blog rocks!
And I know I’ll never convince you, but no C&Ps on our blog have been edited, except removal of some identifying names and characteristics. But you keep telling yourself it’s “slander.”
Drama Mama is correct. Ranting is not taking new members at the time. But thanks for trying. If we ever have open registration again, we’ll let you all know.
Hooray! No comment censoring! I love this place already! *snuggly*
DAMMIT! I was hoping to join the dark side :P)
(((waving))) hi sam!
Somebody needs to bring down that birth board (August 06 maybe?) that rigs all those photo contests!
Someone here knows what I’m talking about, I’m sure!
What Charlie? If you can’t beat them, join them? I think you should just walk away….
Is there any reason the two of you felt the need to have a make out session here?
