This morning I received an email from a registered user requesting that I reinstate Charles to the SR community. As some of you know, Charles has been banned twice. She asked if I had a 3 strikes rules, and the answer is no. But I have reinstated certain banned members in the past.
So, in the interest of fairness, I put this question to my registered users only: should I reinstate Charles?

61% said yes, interesting.
i like charles. i voted yes. down with censorism lol
‘censorism’ is that a word… ahh nevermind
I voted yes also, It’s more fun to argue with a man while PMSing than another woman. To me that was Charles’ reason for being in the room. Remember Sandra’s comparison “One of these things is not like the others? Charles is not like the other males in the room.
Charles provides needed laughter…i vote yes…
Why was he banned?
Salaams Kcicero!
I voted Yes … I miss Charles as a part of the community. I think he will behave this go round, and the original comment wasn’t meant to be rude or offensive, I think he has learned his lesson & will be more respectful towards other members.
LET HIM IN, EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE. HE CUT UP AGAIN, THAT’S HIS AZZ!
WaSalaams Iyonah, loving the locs…i think I might cut mine though…for some reasons long locs, being pregnant, and summertime don’t seem to go together, lol…
Anyway just let him back in Sandra!
I vote yes!
Charles is rude crude and socially unacceptable - I VOTED YES! We need his smart a$$ around these parts.
On the other hand, some of the newly welcomed back posters should have been sent to the desert with Moses and nem…
I vote yes… even though that vote machine didn’t work for me.
Considering there are no “rules” written to follow its easy to break them without knowing. Shoot, I’ve saw people be called hoes, dummies & countless other names without so much as a warning or suspension.
So again I say
YES! As in Yes I can. (Sorry I couldn’t help it)
I say YES, but he may have moved on…who knows?!?!
Oh your prego??? I didn’t know that! Congrats! Do you know what your having? How far along are you??? Awww — congrats!
Its such a beautiful process …
Thank you … reminds me I need to cahnge the pic, I was thinking of cutting it and asked for yall opinion.
Sandra — why is my comment in moderation?
@Ice I gave me commentary about Gotti and you got MIA..lol
@KC I am getting my locs highlights this weekend. I already know come next summer I will be cutting my locs to at least my neck/shoulders. I can only have them being so long. They are hot indeed. I will have to get an up do when I go to NO for the 4th.
I agree with Ice what are the rules if any Auntie?
Charles CRACKS ME THE HAILLLLLL UP!! But….he gets under people’s skin. I came from the land of the Banned. It’s cold and dark out there….lol
Read the Blog….would I be one of those “newly” welcomed back posters you speak of?
I voted yes…because in all fairness, I’ve seen people be waaaaaay more disrespectful than Charles (who only does it to be funny) and are still here posting their lives away like nothing happened. So if we’re trying to be consistent, let him back in.
Charles is quite the character I must say. Please sandra give charles just one more chance.
some of yall know u voted more than once!!!lol
Yeah maybe I could cut them, lol. Shoot it’s hot enough wearing a khimar everyday but to have a hot behind bun of middle of the back locs are just a no no no…lol!
I def voted twice I wanted to see if I could vote without being logged in…and I could…Sandra I thought this was for registered members only?
I am with Iscream, what are the rules? @Kc, are you pregnant?
@KC I feel for yall every summer when yall have to covered and its 1000 degrees outside..lol Bless your heart!
No, Divine, you’re not
I think I may have offended a few people myself. I don’t know Charles or what he did … but what the heck … let him in.
“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Dont get me started up in here…
Everybody deserves another chance…..
You better ack right Charles! LOL
I voted yes he doesn’t bother me a bit. I prefer somones honest opinion over a bull**** one any day.
awwwww let him back in.. he is pretty comical
LOL@DB not scripture..lol
miamore73 …. we are <<>>>
I don’t kno why <<>>
is removed SR … you allow people to post links form time to time, I think a guideline on post would be appropriate. But at the same time, I think we kind of all know what is respectful & what isn’t …
I just think some people are given allowances over others.
I voted before I realized that I wasn’t even logged in yet so everyone is voting. Well I voted YES! Charles was pure entertainment for me and like someone else has said, I’ve seen quite a few people go really hurtful and personal and they didn’t get banned. Free Charles!
When did Charles get banned….and for what?
I vote yes, I like his brutal opinion plus we both love us some Brandy so hell yeah let him back, but sandra, some people have gotten away with calling us ho’s and bytches how come they werent banned?
Can we just get a list of those who have not been banned and yall think should have been?
Everyone keeps saying some are worse than others … who are the others’ yall talking about?
@ DB I don’t remember when but he came in a post once and said… hello hoes and sandrarose fam.. Something to that nature.
You know I am really been missing out. Charles has been banned twice. I thought he had like three profile names in this community and Sandra was his number 1 fan, because he defied the norm. Goodness, no more busy days at work for me. LOL!
*on the floor* iscream, he did not!!!!
Sheesh…
when is the last time a post hit 100? Ya’ll too quiet!!
Good Morning (putting on John Legend)…
Even though Charles was www.beyondfrigginignorant.com…
Even though he ALWAYS had something disrespectful to say about FAR too many Black women…
Even though he made me CRINGE at times…
I say if he can put up with getting his b-lls handed to him when he gets out of line…and can deal with the rancor of Auntie…(HEY AUNTIE!!!)
Then…to quote Sir McCartney…
“Open the door…and let him in”…
With his ignorant a–!!!
@DB
the men got us working hard…lol!
Yeah I want to see this list of those who should have been banned and those who should have STAYED banned….
RTB.. why don’t you kick it off…lol
Well.
I said in a previous post, I felt that since Charles got banned for calling us the H word. (It was wrong but it was a greeting) I wanted to know why it was okay for intensemocha to call people out their name just because they didn’t agree on a Beyonce post? & I’ve saw her do it on more than one occasion.
Not hating on you intense but you take that name calling crap 2 far sometime. We grown up in here. No matter what we say about Bey. She is a celeb & I’m sure has heard it all. Or will never read what we say anyway. We all read the insults you sling.
But (in your favorite words) I digrese.
*digress
I understand what you are saying iscream….everyone doesn’t take kindly to being called names by folks that don’t really KNOW them.. and even some who DO.
As far as Charles is concerned.. his offenses are usually the same.. so I am on the fence. He usually gets banned for calling someone an inappropriate name or making death threats to the POTUS ( wasn’t that the first time??) He is comical to an extent. Sometimes he takes it to the “uppa roooooom” ( eddie murphy voice)
Tell us how you really feel Ice..LMAO
@DB A post RARELY hits 100 anymore
Can we have the smileys back……I’ll be good….LOL
Wow, I didn’t even know he was banned, I thought he was just taking a break from visiting the blog. I voted yes…idk why he was banned either time so maybe that’s why. I thought he was funny at times though and like Sandra has stated other people had their accounts re-instated so…
We serve a GOD of second chances, Sandra give Charles a chance I miss him
so what’s the verdict? is charles going to be allowed to come back? i voted yes by the way….he was hilarious to me!
Hi Goatwhat’s up?I been asking bout u,
What ever happen to Hermosa? Sandra is you let Charles back, Can she let Hermosa back too?
@Peachizz,
I don’t think Hermosa is banned, I just think she doesn’t post very often.
Speaking of Hermosa, I remember her going at it with someone who used some degrading and racist terms against her. I don’t remember who it was though as I don’t pull out pin an paper and right folks names down when they take it a bit too far. I just say DAYUMM and keep it moving the same way I do when I read Charles post.
write not right folks names down.
Add Charles back!
*quietly*
I think it was Charles Shauny…. don’t quote me on that.
even though i dont agree with him at times…bring the monster back!!!
Everybody deserves a second chance
@Shauny…now that I think about it, it was Charles that Hermosa got into it with. Don’t quote me but I want to say it was Ielon (or something like that)….
My bad a third lol
Peachizz….let it be known!!
Hermosa isnt banned…she is working hard for the paper! She got promoted and boarded the slaveship enterprise. lol
Didnt Herm get into it with intown? That was right when I got clipped.
Ielon is fam….she didnt’ get into it with him.
@ Ice … I feel you on intense. I personally think she shouls have banned or put on TIME OUT, HER POST ARE TO MUCH IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH HER & SHE LOVES TO SAY “SHE SPANKED A PERSON” terrible …
Now COA .. that uppa room comment is foring mee to have to close SR out and try again in a little while, I can’t stop LOL …
Glad to have you back!
I know it wasn’t Charles coar and yvonne, I think DB may be right. I remember something about a chimichunga and some other words.
yeah shauny whatever it was.. it was bad cause my girl was HOT!
Sorry Iyonah.. won’t happen again.
BAN KYMMYSTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She promised me that if I sent her 10 dollars via paypal she would email me 1 of her private pictures…I sent her the money she sent me a picture of her when she was in private school??? WTF!!!! She used a play on words to trick my horny lil mind…I thought she meant private pics as in pics of her privates,,,Not no dang pics of some ol big head grade school gal sporting her private school uniform!!! I was pissed! I mean yeah I was impressed because I didnt know that had color photos in the 1920 (heehee), but still pissed….No refunds my ass! I reported her to paypal.lolol
OK, then it may have been Intown. I know it was someone with an ‘I’…lol
Hermosa is fun-ny. Intown isn’t the only person she put on blast. She come up in here and call out people every now and then. But she does it tastefully.
I remember (not who) but she put somebody on blast about acting like they went to the inauguration when they were here posting all along.
@ Iyonah, I’m eight weeks. The due date is December 14, when i get an ultra sound I think it will push the date back another two weeks. Thanks
If you decide to cut your locs you must let us see!
Now why isn’t Charles back yet?
@iscream you know darn well who Hermosa called out! And in fairness to Daisy I stay updating my fb status’s when I’m out at something important, lol.
Brenden is fool!!! LMAO.
Yeah, there were a lot of racial slurs thrown at Hermosa. Hell, I was pissed for her. Not pissed enough to remember the violator’s name but pissed nonetheless(LOL). I apologize to Ielon for accusing you and you weren’t the culprit.
I tell you one thing, my work day is going by a LOT faster now that everyone is back. I sho did miss y’all
Brenden LMAO!!!! Another one who doesn’t post a lot but when he does….FUNNY!
So when will Charles be back Sandra? He’ll probably make a speech like we were thristy without him and thanks for caring and cut a few people up for old time sakes…lol
@ KC *blank stare*
Was it? I couldn’t remember. Yall know my memory is the worst. *Kwallce where you at* she can vouch for that cause she is always helping me out.. (Remember the Next song)
yeah he will..lol
Lol, yeah I think Daisy was the only one of us to actually go to the inauguration that was I remembered. That back and forth was special….Didn’t get to heated though….
I do remember somebody going HARD at Hermosa but I can’t remember who…it was def ban worthy though…
Brenden….you are slow. lmao
It was “intown”…..
Awwwwwwwwwwww kcicero … Congrats again! How have you been feeling???
COA … thanks, I had to recuperate. I couldn’t even type correctly. LOL now again ….
I missed the Daisy & Hermosa issue … Daisy did you really go?
WTH … Sandra why are my comments in moderation? I never say anything off the wall
Can you bring the emotions back?
I was about to check the archives but I’m going to let dying dogs rest <<<<— or however that saying goes.
I’m leaving this post before I’m accused of being in a click or a troublemaker or whatever.
Peace… two fingers.
LOL @82. Isc you’re a mess girl.
my azz been banned’d more than a lil bit. i might hold the record for bannings…i am on the fence. is all of my banned fam reinstated yet? did prynnsexx get her log in back yet? what about bloggergirlz? she back yet?
if yes then i say let him coime back. if not…oh well.
I VOTED NO .. HE PERSONALLY CALLED ME A ‘HO’ SIMPLY BEACUSE I FOUND SOMEONE’S BODY GUARD ATTRACTIVE … ALL THAT VOTED YES ARE PROBABLY THE SAME WOMEN WHO DEFEND MEN WHO IT WOMEN OR COMMIT CRIMES … NOPE … I SAY NO .. AND HAIL NO …
i didn’t know he was banned. I’ve seen him on other sites. what did he do? the most that i have seen him do was diss the heck of of ciara.
back to work !
I think I kinda miss ol Charles and those off da wall azz comments….as harsh az he is, at the end of the day you know that its his very HONEST opinion..lol!
Charles is rude crude and socially unacceptable
———————————–
not socially unacceptable…but YES let him back…
lmfao. holllllering!
you make it sound like he chew with his mouf open or something….
i swear i do not know WHO my latina sista hermosa called out. i gotta go back and read…
all i know is hermosa was the FIRST person i threw the picket sign up for. like “reinstate my dawg now!” i ride or die for my sandra rose fam….yall know it is true cause most all of the others are back now.
did carameldrop get reinstated? if you reading ma…does your log in work yet?
i vote don’t reinstate nobody till all of the long banned fam is back home at the dinner table.
*applause*
I think what he said was disrespectful, and it wouldn’t be fair to other people who are also banned. Plus, I haven’t had any nicotine in a few days ( kicked the habit) so HECK NO!!!
REINSTATE … Carmel Drop … Bloggergirl .. AND the SMILEY’S … and i don’t care about Chuckles
Brenden .. HUSH .. u said u wanted me to send pics JUST like the one’s you mom’s sent you .. when u were locked up .. !!
I vote fa the smileys too….we did em wrong.. but now we know how to treat them.
I don’t think Hermosa got banned. I swear she just posted something last week at night or week before. I could be wrong.
hi pepper!
hermosa is not banned. just busy getting dat guap!
Plus, I haven’t had any nicotine in a few days ( kicked the habit) so HECK NO!!!
————————-
good for you ma!
ROTF @ KWALL!!!!!! I AGREEE!!! IS IELON BACK, YET? WHERE IS BLOGGERGIRLZ?
100
BRING E’RYBODY BACK!!!!!
goat I know you wasn’t hanging around for that..lol
auntie ain’t got back to them yet about their log ins last i heard dbrown. yes kymmy bring back the smileys before chuck. it is alot of things need to be reinstated other than chuckles…imo. cause this IS sandra site. NOW I AM MAD cause cbann08, chuckles, charles, and all of his other ailses done got a hunnit comments.
a poll for chuck. did i get a poll? divine did you get a poll while you was gone? coaretained did she get one….
*leaving.
Naw just perfect timing…
reinstate morning wood. morning glory. the smileys. the banned folk. more tiny posts. more jd posts. more jazze pha posts.
THEN let’s talk about chuck.
@Kwall I didnt think she got banned she posted something not to long ago and Sandra asked her where she had been.
ooooooooh kwallz….HAVE YOU SEEN JAZZE PHA RECENTLY???
A good picture of him would bring about a historical and monumental roasting. Every TIIIIIIMMMME IS SEE PICS OF HIM WITH THAT BALD head and them sloppy lips, I cringe!
WHAT IN THE HAIL….
I saw a pic last week of Jazzy at CiCi’s cd release party and it was NOT a good look at all. I really want him to do BETTER!
Y not? Can’t hurt and if he f up again ban him again
not “BETTER” daisy? lmfao. “i need for him to do BETTER.”
i don’t know WHY i find that one thing so funny…but i do!
yes divine a pic of jazze pha would bring back old times. wait til friday. cause we all know he gonna be out at secret thursday…the party with the password. i bet his secret password is “colonel sanders”…
Aww shucks, I feel the love. I’m not banned for those who are wondering. Like so many of my family members said…I’m getting Arab money!
I voted YES bc I never had a problem with Charles, infact him and I are cool. But I see where Kymmy’s coming from. This wasn’t his first time being banned so the “everyone deserves a second chance” line of thinking is N/A in this situation. I’m down for him coming back but it has to be on some probation terms. lol. He gets outta pocket once, his a$$ is dust.
And the person who was making incredibly rude, degrading, and ignorant comments towards me was Intown. I was extremely heated mostly because I know very well that this is a black owned blog with the majority, if not all of the members, black and I never scoot to that level. I don’t have an ounce of racism in me! I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER make any derogatory comments to any on here concerning their race. That’s just plain stupid and ignorant to me.
Weezy, you always had my back…TRUE RIDE OR RIDE.
Sandra, thank you for letting register. It gave me and opportunity to meet some amazing ppl. AND THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE…IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF IM TALKING ABOUT YOU, THEN IM NOT! LMAO.
Leave Charles where he at…on the OTHER blogs. Like someone said…we all grown and will disagree but he takes it tooooo far. He knows full well before his post his comments that he is totally out of line. He’s already shown that he can not be trusted with a username and password! LOL We already got enough opinions and comments to get stuff started…his comments add gasoline to the fire which in return makes other family members act outside their character…ah hem. Auntie…I voted about 3-4 times “no”.
Let Charles stay gone. I haven’t posted lately because the man tracked my Internet history. So glad to see the Fam back together. Congrats KC! Hey Divine, Kymmy, Goat, Hermosa, Yvonne, Kwall, coaretained and any of my other old cousins I missed
shunda! where you been??? “da man.” he ruins all types of shyt don’t he??? i ain’t got no more “da man.” i am unemployed now (sandra stop reading…since you gotta have a j-o-b for this site).
WHERE is weatherman? i had tornado warnings today. i need him. and diva? where she at? my 14 yo (she will be 14 on thursday…) done tole me she is “too cute” for us…as in her family.
I am glad that most banned are back, and for those who were not banned and to come back to this site and let us know you are ok, thanks for logging in. Hermosa make that paper.
Not trying to make things intense but “Happy Cinco De Mayo to all. I am one who believes that if we don’t get to know our neighbors and their culture how should we expect them them want to learn “others?”
doesn’t matter to me. he was blocked twice for a reason, but i guess it all makes entertainment. cool out with the attacks and ****. are there rules to this board, or most never been blocked cuz we can agree to disagree and dont personally attack others?
doesn’t matter to me either way . i stay away from him because of the way he treats the other members. all the name calling and being disrespectful is uncalled for , but ultimately it’s up to you sandra.
Aww K wall sorry to hear that. Yeah my manager came over one day and told me to slow down because he had a list of my internet history. He knew I was doing all my work but he couldn’t cover for me with history like that lol. So if it is not microsoft of IBM I am not on it. Weatherman is good still calling for warm weather and we haven’t reached over 65 degrees more than a week. Diva is a PITA (Pain in the A**. She has begun turning up her nose at clothes
