Left Elefriends due to some ignorant and insensitive members, and over zealous moderation who failed to address specific issues I was having with the way several members had responded to me.

This ultimately resulted in me leaving the site for good, feeling hurt and frustrated that my concerns had not been listened to.

Also, felt ganged up on by some members who I would consider toxic and insensitive. The type of people I would absolutely go out of my way to avoid were they in my family, circle of friends, workplace and so on.

My advice to you? If you're the type of person that does not like to assert yourself when someone crosses the line with you, then you will probably be fine. However, if you're the type of person that needs to assert themselves when someone crosses the line with you (like me), I strongly recommend avoiding this site. Members may argue with you even when they have crossed the line with you and when you report them to moderation you will likely receive a canned response that does not fully address your concerns.

Although there ARE some lovely, kind and supportive people on this site, on several occasions I did feel bullied and belittled. For the latter two reasons alone, I had no option but to leave this site. I would not consider returning to this site because of what happened to me during my time as a member.
