I put this post as a comment in another post of mine -- but I am afraid not everyone has taken or will take the opportunity to read it. I hope you all read it and understand the all moderators want this place to be a happy safe place to be. We want everyone to help or be helped...we do not ever intend to mislead or hurt any of you.
Note: this site will never be all things to all people. This site will never be exactly the way I want it AND at the same time, exactly the way another Cutie may want it. I am sure it is close to the way Ms. Veronika wants it. Please remember with any site confusion (for example: where to post what) -- for Ms. Veronika, English is not her first language. If the words here do not match exactly what you think they should be...it may be due to language or cultural differences. Keep in mind that this site is international. She has done all she could do to make it the way we asked her to make it.We ALL want this site to be full of love and kindness. Know that as moderators -- we only try to help keep the peace. There is also only so much we can do. Each of us moderators have friends here -- we would much rather be part of the group instead of militant leaders. Please do not think we wish to critique or complain about every single thing you do. Remember, we are not paid any money -- at all. We are just like you, except we volunteer to keep the site clean and organized by removing things that should not be here.

I want you all to know I read and really appreciate all the comments. Each comment receives a flower and each one of you is appreciated -- more than I can express. Summer is coming here in the States. My 2 youngest children will be home from school and (like many of you) we might be taking a much needed vacation soon. I know the other moderators also have many plans with family and friends.
We all could really use your help to keep this site a happy friendly place to be. While all moderators dread the PM's in the double digits -- we also appreciate all the help we get from so many of you. Please continue to help us all out. Use the picture as a guide on how to contact all moderators.
Please know that we all do our very best to be helpful and kind. Some days I know I miss the mark -- but I do hope you all know I do try.
Hugs!
57675Thank you for trying to keep us safe on here. We need it. Thanks to all the people that are helping anyone that needs help. I love the cutie site may it become what you want with out all the complaints.

33871Thank you rescuer for all you do and try to accomplish. As you know I was away for a couple of weeks and for 10 days i was unable to access the internet - then I fully realised how much time it usually takes just to read every post and answer the numerous PMs, although I have to admit I always skip the freebie tab and leave the task of checking for illegal designs to you.
As we can't move posts to a more fitting place, asking or recommending is the only thing we can do, and most of that goes unnoticed as it is so often done in a PM. I dread the days I wake up to see a two digit number next to the word INBOX! Fortunately there were only 6 to deal with today.
Keep up the good work, we need you and love you for it.

Thank you Rescuer and Jrob !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
619013216I doubt anyone would think of you Moderaters as militant! lol I prefer diligent! For some absurd reason I was posting links that had some illegal designs on and never knew it till you guys let me know. Some were 20 pages back but I tried to not post that kind of stuff. Thanks for always catching them. It got so bad I was beginning to think there was a target after my name! But it's ok, you always let me know in the kindest of ways and I really am grateful you found those little buggers! You guys have even helped with non-site embroidery issues I've had...and all for free! I'd never want your job, that is for sure! We all just need to keep in mind that there are real people behind the posted words and apply the golden rule to all as if they were staring you in the face. Miss Veronika isn't the only Cutie that uses English as a second language and I always look past the grammar and try to understand the meaning of their words. I've yet to meet anyone of any language on here who isn't a genuine kind hearted soul. Most of the meanies don't post very often if there are any! You guys rock! You're always on top of most things and take care of issues before they get out of hand. This place is the greatest embroidery place on the web thanks to all your diligence and people skills. We really do appreciate everything you do as it keeps this place a home away from home for many of us! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

15572Thank you for all the volunteer time you and the other moderators spend keeping this site safe. It is really appreciated. I know, as a volunteer, there will always be someone that will be critical of something no matter what the situation, they will not understand until they have walked in your shoes. You do a Great job! Keep up the good work!!! Love this site.

8586715626Tks for all the work you gals do...and free to boot! I try hard not to post things that can be taken wrong. So often the tone of voice lets folks know you're joking, or just trying to be helpful, etc. It's a hard job to post things written without anyone actually hearing how you are saying it! So hang in there; I know 99% of the cuties appreciate your work! (Now, for those whose first language isn't "USA" English; do you know what I meant by "to boot" and "hang in there?" LOL Be glad you can't hear me say it with my hillbilly accent!) Love this site and ALL the folks on it!!

42046Each of you have always had and will always have my support. You are doing a labor of love that I could not do. My skin is just too thin. I am so grateful for each one of the Moderators that have worked to make this site the most supportive and helpful site and with great designs. I have never seen you as a militant moderator. I think you all want the same thing we all want. A place to go to be with friends and family.

Big hugs Chris! You are always so kind. I know that you do understand what it takes and how much of our "spare time" we can lose in this volunteer position.
Thank you
