Myspace, the Birth of Friendburst and the TOS
Someone once said those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Lets talk about Myspace, does anyone remember the Deletion Wars?
I do. I remember.
The deletion wars were where a Group of People would as a group send requests to Myspace TOS compliance with a complaint about an account. Myspace which was IMPERSONAL and mostly automated would delete accounts based on Number of Complaints.
So a group of 10 or so people with a strong Leader would send complaints to myspace and have an account deleted.
This was the beginning of the Death of Myspace.
Blogs would disappear. Accounts would pop up and disappear. Some could rarely have an account for more than a day.
Friendburst was born because of this.
I believe that Friendburst researches each TOS personally. The Friendburst staff researces each incident of TOS from all sides.
I believe the Friendburst staff does not delete any account based on the complaints of any group of individuals without researching that TOS violations have actually occurred.
I am very disappointed that some on Friendburst have made Unsupported Accusations about how TOS is applied. I think Kevin has stated very well how they will research each violation from all sides.
The Friendburst staff is in a difficult situation. They would like all members to enjoy their experience here and recommend this site to friends. This does not mean we all have to be civil with each other or even interact with each other. There are tools available on this site to not interact with people that are rude, obnoxious, or you just do not want to talk with. Also they want to protect their members from Cyberbullying.
If you are trolling or not engaged in a conversation, do not be surprised that someone blocks you. If you choose to block entire groups of individuals based on ideology, you can.
Note: I do not have any official capacity with the Friendburst staff, or much interaction. The above is my personal understanding of how TOS is applied. The TOS policy is clearly stated and Kevin has done several bulletins which I have paraphrased.
The only thing I didn’t liked was that Weissdorn disappear from this site. Is a big loss for this site.
I would like to see a site something like this, or what Myspace once was, that has no such thing as a TOS…that is not based on money…where no one at all can be deleted against their will.
Well lucky me I don’t feel an Express need for extended socializing. ( w8…ain’t this a socializing site? )lol I can see why some would feel pretty claustrated by rules,now that you’ve summed them up seems like more than I realized. But like I said,depends on each one’s intentions
I can’t speak for everyone who’s ever been deleted from Friendburst, but from the more recent ones, I’ve noticed many of their TOS violations got overlooked for a very long time. So it was no surprise when they finally got the boot.
I think Friendburst does a good job of giving second chances as well as removing serial problem starters. It ain’t like Myspace, that’s for sure. And thank Kevin for that!

Agreed….completely…especially with the line,”The Friendburst staff researches each incident of TOS from all sides.”
It not what I say or do not say,or what you say,and do not say…it is in short what the Admin. says…after a carefull review from all sides,and all angles.Do not be deluded into thinking anyone was treated unfairly,or rail roaded off of this site,because it is simply not the truth.If you are still on this site there is a reason,and it is not the reasons many sling around here when they all start to bitch and moan…Make no mistake that each person thrown off ,and having their blogs deleted were for a specific reason that we are not,nor should not be privy too.It is not our job to run this site,that job belongs to the Admin.,and I for one think they do a dam good job…
And yes Roscoe is absolutely correct in what he said…I remember how everyone used to piss,and bitch,and moan that nothing was fair on myspace,and you know what now that we have all come here that same sort of rancid attitude that many had there,well they just brought it over here.Now we have a system that seeks fairness,and looks into each incident,and what do people still do…they bitch like it was MySpace…hey guess what this is FriendBust,…not MySpace……
😉
On MySpace I think I had to reincarnate my profile at least six times and I was always careful not to violate TOS. I was just as political there as I am here.
I think Kevin has done a very good job, even though some deleted were friends of mine. Each has admitted that they did violate TOS.
Anyone that claims that Kevin is unfair has simply ignored violations.
Hey Roscoe. How is your Sunday going? 🙂

Answer to the blog….I do not think any administration including all social sites, should have any interaction personally with any member. They should not be friends, nor should they have a profile page. They are here to “fix” anything that goes wrong technically with the site. Not to interfere. IF there is any harassment going on then it should be taken up with (un-bias)a board. On too many of these sites the members get a bit too cozy with the admninistrators and, of course favoratism is played. This goes for both sides. I do not think Tom on myspace ever came in between members..some of the members were nasty. m ana
One thing I never understood is why I never got deleted on MySpace. All the cool people got deleted at least once, if not several times.
^^^^^come back for seconds^^^^lol
