Q: Petition to Reinstate Vicky
I just discovered, after trying to research the topic "Best relationship question of 2013", that our Vicky is banned.
eChinaCities Staff: Vicky is not a detestable and worthless pain in the ass like Silva. She doesn't spam, and she doesn't ask deliberately inane questions. And from a purely practical standpoint, she doesn't drive people away from eChinaCities. Her questions are, in my opinion, one of the major attractions of this website. The huge number of responses to any given Victoria post vindicates what I am saying.
Am I alone in thinking Victoria is a valuable member of our community? I would like her reinstated.
As Evelyn Beatrice Hall (biographer of Voltaire) famously wrote:
"I view everything Vicky says as vain, confused and self-deluded, but I will defend to the death her right to say it."

Sorry, but the Vickster is a troll, pure and simple.

Samsara:
A troll is someone who posts inflammatory topics (which do not reflect their actual opinions) for the purpose of inciting hostility.
Victoria is self-deluded (and annoying to some people), but earnest.
belle_watson:
And her comments, unlike those of a good number of others, are NOT degrading NOR insulting NOT deprecatory towards female members of this Board.
Some of the comments on this Board smell like a Pittsburgh red-neck bar at 3:00 on a Sunday morning. Other comments smell like the toilet in the same Pittsburgh bar.
Bring her back.
sorrel:
Belle, you missed Vicky calling some of the female posters 'pussy girl' 
more laughable than insulting, but even still not something you would do on a public forum to people you want to help you.
MissA:
Sorrel's right - and was one of the ones referred to as such (I think). Vicky's recent comments towards Hulk's wife also did not reflect well on her. Nor did her comments about her female colleagues. .
Disgusting to hear that she has been banned.
The Admins are probaby all white males or minions thereof.
Provocative questions, for sure, mindless questions for sure
but not worse NOR MORE OFFENSIVE than all of these 10,000 questions about
how many times a day can I cum? or
how big is my penis? or
what do I do when a man is watching me in the urinal?
or
the girl doesn't like my ham
all of which questions are extremely degrading and insulting to any female board member.
Please bring her back.
This board shouldn't be a space for dirty old men only.
And to that one board member no longer in China but resident down under, I hope that you now feel good and sleep well having so successfully lead the charge to get our sister poster banned. What goes around comes around.
MissA:
I do hope you're not referring to me, belle. As far as I know, I'm the only permanent downunder resident here (philbravery goes back and forth), and I've never done anything of the sort.
bayuvar139:
I totally agree with you. Although, being a male, I find it also degrading to women to often read questions and answers/comments about women's breasts, or men's sexual organs. It seems rather juvenile, perhaps perverse.
Although Vickie does have some rather odd and frequent questions, she is okay and should not be banned. However, there are plenty of other people with their questionable comments who should IMHO.
philbravery:
Hey Ding-a-ling , I' mean Belle you want to pick a flame war with me ? go for it .I have no miss givings that i am not a smart ass who likes to play silly buggers with dopey fruitcakes . im a big boy just make sure you can back up you comments with facts . im starting to think you are just another rehashed personality that hasn't been brought to admin's attention yet .lol
belle_watson:
Well, Mr. Bravery, at least in your last post that comes as close as you can to your admitting that you are the one who engineered Vicky's getting booted.
It should be evident to everyone.
And sorry to disappoint but I'm not a reincarnated anything. And at least I am sober.
Yes Samara, I support what you've said. Reinstate the girl. Hell, why not!
There's a multitude of attitudes evident on this site and only some of them aren't welcome.
At least she's a trier... and that alone has gotta be respected!
There's very likely a young bloke or two reading this who just might be the champion she's searching for...
Cmon....Give Vic a tick!
I, for one, don't mind having "Victoria" around. I find her questions and comments annoyingly entertaining. She's like a sticky bugger that just won't flick off from your fingers.
She may be a troll or perhaps even has a "handler" to write her postings, but I personally don't care. The comments from her questions and her responses to them make for a fun read.
However, I suspect that some (or many) of the comments of her postings may have been considered "not acceptable" by "watchful eyes." She has therefore been branded as "someone" not being a "good representative" of what is China or Chinese.
Perhaps she will be "resurrected" in the near future...hail Cleopatra!
Agree with the OP and no, you are not alone, I also think that Vicky shouldn't have been banned.
Yes, you can say she is silly, self centered, drama queen but she was funny and as you've already said, just look at the answers! Come on! You got many insane articles, lame, almost at the same level of Yahoo news and you ban our lil Vicky!??!
WE WANT HER BACK!!!!
What? Reinstate her. Why the hell did they ban her? She's genuine, like her or not. Furthermore, without Vicky, who will the clowns mock?
I agree. Please unban Vicky.
Victoria1987:
Finally find a worth word from you.You got me mad,but I dont hate you.
I totally support the op.
who is the admin? does he/she take part in discussions? i think i saw a post from the admin but im not sure in which thread...
Every cat needs a scratching post and without all that dribble Saliva used to leave on the board, Vicky's been performing a valuable service I guess. Personally I never answer her posts, she pretty much epitomizes every downhill trait of this country and from the moment she told Canadian Derek that she hoped his unborn child would die, it was quite clear to me that she was not a person I had the least interest in whatsoever. But should she be given a second chance here? (Jesus, why did I even post a response to this?) I would be extremely hard pushed to care less.
bill8899:
With all the **** you guys give her, I don't blame her. Maybe not you personally, but people here treat her like a punching bag.
mArtiAn:
Punching bag is another fair description of the way she was treated. In fact this entire plea on her behalf smacks of a rather dubious and questionable virtue. It's like the school bully trying to get his favourite victim out of being expelled.
vicky may have flamed a few people with some derogatory comments, but usually someone provoked her first with their comments, in fact sometimes because of culture differences, she did not know she was insulted, i think perhaps someone used some nebulous standard for the ban and not a fair evaluation of the dialogue, if chinese moderators make the decision, i can understand the ban to keep ladies of ill repute off the site, but hey ladies that are angels are pretty damn boring.
Victoria1987:
They baned me because they told I was sending business advertisment,I just posted some questions about going to the exhibition to the Netherlands again.then nthey baned me.
why? Did she make loose "face" to someone? come on...- -
are you sure she is banned or just in the naughty corner like i got for a few days?
Guys, bear in mind you don't actually know what comment she made that got her banned.
I've had physical assault/sexual assault 'jokes' using the most vile, sexually offensive and insulting language made against me and that didn't get the poster so much as a second's ban. In fact, admin got pissed at ME for asking the board if it was appropriate.
So whatever vicky said - it must have been pretty bad.
Hulk:
Someone made those remarks towards you? WTF? I'll fucking kill him! Who is he?
belle_watson:
MissA,
Don't be a 1950's type submissive female. Out that person! Paste and clip the post right here along with the name...we will name and shame that person.
My God, do not suffer that kind of trash in silence. Of course, the Admin won't help. Just look at the kind of trash posts that they permit to flood this site.
Name and shame...
Belle Watson
mArtiAn:
Ahem, if you're referring to me, Missa, which I suspect you are, I was retaliating, albeit somewhat over-aggressively, to your repeatedly accusing me of being a liar and doctoring a post which I had not changed as much as the punctuation on. And if you remember I apologised to you in a private message, and 'not' at the instruction of the administration. I am yet to receive any such apology from you, but don't worry, i'm not about to turn blue from holding my breath. I also think you're stretching the truth a little in describing my response to you as 'threatening physical/sexual assault'. It was quite clearly written with more than a dash of humour.
MissA:
Martian, I have absolutely zero interest in engaging with you - bashing my head against a brick wall would be a much more productive use of my time. I will say this, though: if you want satisfaction, perhaps you'll take it in knowing that after reading your comment I was, actually in the real world, in tears. Bet you'll get a great laugh out of tha.t
Belle, love your work, honey.
mArtiAn:
I honestly and most genuinely apologize Missa. It was truly not my intention to genuinely hurt you, i'm stupid sometimes and assume others to be as crass thinking and thick skinned as me, I don't want to actually hurt 'anyone'. Please forgive me.
MissA:
Thank you very much martian, that is both appreciated and accepted. If you feel attacked by me, that was never the intention and I am sorry for it.
mArtiAn:
God bless you Missa. Now you've made 'me' want to fucking cry.
Her profile has been removed from this site. That says it all.
As a newer member of this board coming in with a different perspective, I found Vicky to also be annoying entertaining and don't see any justification for her being banned. I actually looked forward to her posts and was wondering where she had been. She lightens up the board with her off center posts and provides opportunity for camaraderie amongst the other members as we all gather and say "Oh Vicky, here she goes again" and all share in a chuckle/laugh. #FreeVicky #BringVickyBack
jesus if she got banned we better watch what we say. Someone here has to know what happened. Maybe all of her past foreign flames who " couldnt get a job here" and fleed the country have banded together to get her off so their names will be sullied no longer?
belle_watson:
Dear Mike,
There is one person here that should have a good idea, considering from that person's posts how much invective that person heaped upon Vicky, but that person has remained silent, except to skirt the issue.
I agree with you fully in your conclusions.
All the best to you,
Belle
Bring her back! Hell it's good to have some comic relief around here!
To answer the question of who was rude and made offensive remarks to missa. Martian called her a 'cunt' when she rightfully pointed out that he changed his post.
I apologize to missa for bringing this up. But that really passed me off. Phucking auto correct . Pucking auto correct, I meant puck.
Back to my point. If he is still here, then so should Vicky unless she did sth worse . Please tell us what our Vicky did, or reinstate her so she could confess herself.
mike695ca:
Is he british? If so maybe he got off with a warning. They call everything the c word. Im not sure he even knew it was so rude. Im guessing it was her reverse?racist comments immediatly followed by the " shoot you" comments towards a reader who took offense.
Englteachted:
So being from the UK makes it ok to be disrespectful to a lady?
Red_Fox:
The "shoot you" comment with the red devil "smiley" was, I believe, a noninjurious remark meant to scold with a hint of mischief (Vicky WAS quite mischievous), not to threaten. My opinion.
mike695ca:
I wouldnt know. Im not from the UK. But i do have some older aquaintences from the UK and they toss the word around like its nothing. Perhaps you should read again. Nothing there was any sort of justification. If ya wanted to stop trolling and start bringing something usefull or interesting to the conversation that would be great. Thanks
mike695ca:
fair enouh Red. Im just trying to find anything that they could have used as an excuse to get her off. Im stumped
mArtiAn:
I never called her a c**t. I think I called 'you' a c**t a fair few times, but then I called you many names: arse-monkey, needle-cock, penile-growth, too many to remember really. I can repeat what I did say to her if you like, I can remember it word for word. It was actually pretty funny, though not one of my proudest moments. Now embarrassing you continually by posting pictures of myself to show how utterly ridiculous you were for sooooo long in accusing me of being a Chinese wumao........now those were pretty proud moments:)
MissA:
Thank you crimo - actually, I can deal with being called a c*nt, it was in fact something different (ED).
Should be pointed out - this board can be a bit of a sausage fest, but most of the guys here were, and are, gentlemen . 
she was already a pain in the ass for the chinese admin, you know loosing face and her love for white people, then she put that website...that was...now they find an excuse to call her troll
I'm down with Samsara. Bring the girl back. She asked some unusual yet original questions: her spelling, at times, was amusing; she traded barbs with the best of her critics and naysayers on the board; and she was funny in a perverse sort of way. Frequently innocently funny.
I got a kick out of her "ooo-la-las" and her "woohoos". Sure, she often retorted in such a manner that would inflame or insult a board member or two, but she certainly didn't have a monopoly on inflammatory language around here, now, did she?
By the way, how do you know she has been banned? Her posts are still up... So, I don't get it. Is there like a "banned section" or something somewhere on this site?
Red_Fox:
Got it, Mike. Clcked. No Vicky. Just a "You are not authorized to access this page." message. Strange...
ambivalentmace:
kicked her off before i could pm her a new spelling lesson "know" instead of "kown", her spelling was improving.
Your voice bring me back.
Fight the power!
I don't care... she wasn't that bad. Didn't deserve to be banned.
It strongly gets on my nerves when website admins put up a forum, a place for people to talk and express their opinions and then ban them. She wasn't so bad. Would have been better to get her a little warning.
