From the communists that run SDN...

Those threads were closed FAST. What an idiot.

 

I agree - so sad, though I certainly appreciate the pictures she posted.

 

Lock first. Post response later. It's a communist thing.

 

You pinkos.

 

I have a google full of these, you know.

 

Premier Myuu with the iron fist good job comrade

 

Saved for such special occasions as these?

 

FTFY.

Cause, you know, we can do that.

 

In soviet pre-allo, thread locks you.

 

Because we're communists.

 

If people talk bad about the following people, then Comrade Postbacpremed will disappear them.

 

Am I the only one who has a crush on these two? I need to get out more..

 

No their wisdom is very appealing

 

Yes! MORE COMMIE PHOTOS!

 

Myuu must break you

 

CodeBlu don't play when it comes to trolls, he'll send some missiles right down your alley.

 

Just to play devil's advocate, there is something to be said about identifying yourself to stand by your words. I'm not talking about the majority of posters here, but rather about those who claim to be part of an admissions committee or other such rank. Without verification, what's to stop someone from being an imposter? I hope that wasn't bashing, but there was a point made in all the silliness of that now locked post.

 

I value my privacy -- I'd also like to spare applicants the distraction of discovering on interview morning that they have been scheduled to be interviewed by me!

Furthermore, I speak for myself, not my school. It would be too easy to match my name with my school and expect that every word I say is official policy of the LizzyM Medical School.

I have provided by real name, email address (issued by my school) and so forth to TPTB and in return got the "advisor" and "faculty" badges. You can choose to trust the people who run this site or you can choose to go elsewhere.

Frankly, I do hope that I'm able to help some applicants acheive their goals or at least put their minds at ease when worries are numerous.

You got me, I didn't notice that until now. In my mind, that does suffice.

 

No need to explain yourself Lizzy M. You are valued more than you could possibly imagine.

I think many others here would agree that you can rest assured on this.

 

I do think sometimes the moderators come down unnecessarily harshly on people. I'm seeing 7+ year members with 5000 posts and plenty of advice shared getting permanently banned. And there's no post history available after they're banned to see how they transgressed. Maybe some of them deserved it, but at times I feel it's hard to give an honest opinion on certain topics. People are too quick to call troll.

 

I do not think it is necessary to doubt LizzyM's credibility here. Besides the LizzyM score a lot of what she says are a lot of general information that somewhat has very little effect on our admission process. Yes we might become more knowledgeble about the specifics, but it is not like her advice is some guarantee in acceptance to a medical school. It is not like she is sharing sensitive data that is some loophole to really get your foot into a medical school, most of the stuff is just advice. She just happens to be deemed credible enough that her advice is mostly like good.

Basically, the advice and comments that she most of the time shares is not something where serious credibility is required anyways. Rarely is it something that can negatively hurt you if you happen to take her word for it. So it is kind of silly to really be worrying about.

 

To see the post history for banned people you can go to "Advanced Search" under the search tab and just type in their name in the username box and you will get their stuff.

 

I've never asked to have anyone banned (except maybe some spam-a-ramos) but I suspect that inappropriate use of PMs could get someone banned. Also, I think it is against the rules to have more than one account or to open an additional account after being banned.

I, personally, really appreciate all of your advice. It is people like you that make this site the valuable resource that it is. Thanks from all of us!

 

Those darn commies...
