Yes, after a week (168 hrs) members aren't allow to edit their posts. Personally I think that is too much time. I would decrease it to a few hours or at most 3 days but even that seems generous.

I agree - cleaning up posts because someone gets offended when they don't get a proverbial pat on the back is irritating and frustrating for other members.

OK feel free to change it to whatever you think is appropriate.

48 hrs seems like a good amount of time for members to edit their posts if necessary. If no objections, I will change it to that later today 👍🏻

So I originally closed Adriana's General Discussion thread because in there were a bit intense, particularly Souled-Out but instead of calming the heck down, this person has now taken their lunacy into every other Adriana thread. I've just deleted about 10 posts from the Candids thread where this person is dissecting every aspect of Adriana's life from her work, to her relationship to even the way Adriana perceives herself... I've had it with this lunatic, it is truly not normal behaviour and it causes the threads to constantly go into mayhem. I just don't know what else to do at this point

I said something, I expect all the piss and vinegar, or them to stfu and say nothing. Either way I'm going to ignore them lol

Thanks for saying something, I'll give it two weeks before we get another TedTalk on how Adriana has lost respect for herself and is in an abusive relationship with Satan

Although I am 99.9% sure she will start a new account, I believe the next violation she should be banned. Or at least suspended temporarily.

I gave her a warning yesterday because she went on a rant about how much Adriana as been going on holidays with her family. You'd think Adriana asked her for money for her holidays  but I agree, next warning should be a ban.

I can't comprehend why Soul is so excessively fixated on Adriana. Honestly, she reminds me of a girl from the forum around the 2005 era named Lost_Soul, aka Gabby. She displayed an intense obsession with Adriana, going as far as stalking her cousin to befriend her. Gabby managed to obtain never-before-seen personal pictures of Adriana and her friends and family, attempting to prove Adriana's superiority over Alessandra because she had pictures of Adriana and quote on quote "Adriana cares about her fans", for some inexplicable reason.

In a strange turn of events, Gabby went to the extent of sending me a photoshopped picture of Adriana holding up her hand with writing that said "Bellazon" to prove she was in fact Adriana lol. When confronted, Gabby insisted repeatedly that she was Adriana and that she wanted to call me to PROVE it, so I said fuck it, got on skype with her and I was given 101 excuses for why Adriana didn't sound like Adriana. None of her bs made any sense and she did not like me calling her out as badly as I did. She was worried I wouldn't like her for lying.... LOL

Gabby disappeared for several months but resurfaced before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, providing me with multiple never-before-seen videos. These included candid moments of Candice expressing annoyance on set and behind-the-scenes footage of the Christmas commercial. Gabby continued her attempts to prove her connection to Adriana after finally admitting she wasn't Adriana, but she claimed they were great friends and that she had Adriana's personal number.

Years passed, and Gabby sent me more behind-the-scenes videos, not the polished ones for Victoria's Secret but rather candid moments, including Erin Heatherton complaining about being cold on set. Lindsay E laughing with Rosie while the two sat around talking and drinking hot chocolate (ect) This went on for months, then out of the blue a person claiming to be Adriana's cousin contacted me with proof of who she really was, including pictures and a video WITH Adriana addressing me by my BZ name. It turned out Gabby had befriended Adriana's cousin years ago, using videos Adriana's cousin had taken on set of VS, or videos Adriana had taken herself - to deceive others, which is why so many people started to believe Lost was actually Adriana. No person should of had the amount of proof Gabby had.

I confronted Miss "Adriana" for lying and asked her to stop it, and Gabby did what she always did and disappeared for awhile, only to resurface in my direct messages trying to show me a fan site she had made for Katie Stam Irk, Miss Indiana 2008. Gabby then tried to tell me that she was Katie were super BFF's for life, and despite showing me convincing proof of their friendship, I reached out to Katie and when I finally got a hold of her, Katie claimed she had no knowledge of Gabby and was super worried that Gabby had pictures of Katie and her family that had never been posted.

I confronted and that was the last time I heard from Gabby.

The real Gabby is from Indiana (Elkhart), and worked at Victoria's Secret. Interestingly, around the time Gabby went MIA, Soul appeared on Bellazon. It could be a coincidence or ......

I mean she is clearly mentally ill, there is just absolutely no way anyone in their right mind is this anal about what a complete stranger does in their personal life. I know exactly who Gabby is, she was also absolutely bonkers and I think you may be onto something with them being the same person, the timeframe fits and the writing is also similar.

I think next strike, we should just ban her and wait to see if she shows up again.

I remember Chloe/Gabby as well. A part of me have always felt bad for them b/c the level of delusion and obsession they present is of someone who is very mentally unwell. We all have our issues but to be at the level they are at, is beyond your everyday mental health challenges and struggles. I do think it might have reached the point in which they believe their own lies. It is like, if you convince yourself of something long enough (even if it's false) you will start believing it to be fact. I very much hope they do get the help they seriously need but I know stuff like this are often complicated and easier said than done.

I wouldn't be surprised if Souled-out is Chloe/Gabby, and I do agree the next strike they should be banned. Chance are they will eventually start a new account, esp. if they are all indeed the same person, but we could deal with that if/when the time comes.

I always thought that lost soul had just requested that their name be changed to souled-out.....

AnatasiaSteele82  has been on model watch for over a month. She seems to have chilled out, so I'd like to take her off mod-watch. Any objections?

^ Fine with me👍🏻

I'm good with it. It'll stop flooding my email inbox with notifications to approve her posts. 

Denied AnatasiaSteele82's display name change request b/c she has reached her name change limit. Pretty sure she has changed her display name twice already which is more than we supposedly allow Wanted to note this here in case she decides to PM one of you hoping for a different decision  

I've put @ThorGod on notice for calling a model a Lazy Brat. If he keeps his shitty attitude up again I'm going to put him on modwatch.
