It happened to me again. I gave someone a heart only to find out that this individual is “flagged for review.”

Do these reviews ever lead to the return of the members?

We all have strong opinions but some of these individuals have been important members of our community.

I am not trying to tell you how to run this site; I wouldn’t be able to.

But I miss some of them. And we lost too many members after the disastrous date which will live in infamy - November 5, 2024.

No, not the trolls that MIR members caught. But the ones that expressed their opinions too strongly.

Please??
