Ok, this topic is for those who have had negative experiences on a site called Netrelate aka Cybersoulmate aka Secularity...all sisters sites owned by the same "company" and I use that word very loosely!

I have nothing nice to say about the site really. The people who run it use underhanded tactics. The moderators are friends of the members and play favorites. They read private messages between members. They send viruses to members who have been banned. They have suspended people from the site indefinitely, and have left their profiles up to make it look as if they are still there. These are just some of the things that go on at Netrelate. I would never recommend this site to anyone!

Wow Anon. Are you sure that was a dating site that you were on and not a Nazi concentration camp?

Thank Goodness for Freedom of Speech and sites like this!

Good jobs Mods!!

Sorry that your experience there wasn't a pleasant one. I am sure there are more sites out there that are untapped....little nuggets that only have to be discovered!

Yep. I was a member for nearly a year and a half, and they deleted me for warning others in Private (well, apparently not really private!) messages about what they did to some others and that they did indeed read private messages. Certain people on that site can get away with being grossly insulting all the time while others are deleted for almost nothing. There are nice people there, but I would say if you go there, definitely don't pay to be there. I had more than 2 months premium membership when they deleted me. i messaged them and they said "we don't refund people who violate our TOS - good riddance, traitor!" Like you can be a traitor to a website! And their TOS mentions nowhere that they read private (yeah right) messages or that if you are deleted you don't get a refund. Hey, maybe I should complain to paypal about this, and even if they don't try to make them pay me the difference, at least maybe they won't deal with them anymore!

They really suck. If you aren't one of their friends from a long time ago you get away with nothing. The people that knew them long enough and agree with them politically can get away with anything. Though "Hasta" isn't exactly agreeing with them politically, is able to insult anyone as bad as possible and get away with it. Do Not give them any money.

Hello posters. I was thinking of joining their site as a free member to start with but I don't think I want to be in an environment such as that. Thanks for your topic Rave (nice name) and best wishes to all.

They even lie and say they don't read posts in private groups. Yet somehow they deleted pornographic pictures in groups that weren't registeres on the Cybersoulmate version of the site. See, because of rules the credit card companies and paypal apparently have, they can't have naked pics/porno/etc on the Netrelate or Secularity sites. So Cybersoulmate doesn't take credit cards or paypal. But if you are a member of 1 , you are a member of all 3 (unless you believe in a god- then you're NOT a secularity member) so all you need to do is pay through NR or secularity and sign in through CSM. Pretty devious, huh? Oh, and I'm sure if you criticized the site in a private group you'd get deleted!

Thanks for posting your experiences Matt!

Hello...I am currently a member of Netrelate and I am afraid if I say anything negative about them I will be deleted next. I have seen many people deleted from the site lately....and for what I do not know. I have heard many stories like the ones everyone here is describing. I am afraid myself or one of my friends will be next. Now that I have read these reviews I too will be canceling my premium membership.

Well if you ask me Netrelate is ran by very unscrupulous people including that Adam guy .

Now tell me which other site apart from Megafriends let moderators run in the forums , unchecked to say whatever they wish , while snipping other members to their heart's content ?

Have you seen his hompeage in secularity , speaking agaisnt censorship ? well I posted a poem and it got deleted , I then received a message telling me if I didn't reply to the mod I would be banished , I replied stating I knew who was complaiing and if he saw himself in that poem then he had a big problem .

They then deleted me ! But funny enough they keep my poetry in there ? Now how screwed up is that ?

So much for censorship , and I read about the way they get around paypal , very devious indeed these people.

2 of the moderators run around like they own the place sticking their noses in every thread as if they were royalty !

AVOID NetRelate !!! The people that are worth knowing there don't make up for the invasion of privacy , I posted anon and they told another member who I was !

One member received a message asking who she was and had they ever talked by the one of the mods! Saying they saw them visit their profile ! Yet that member could have never visited a Mod's profile because they don't have any ! I now know how this person is and if you ask me the whole situation smells of rotten tuna on a roll .

Can't stress this enough ! Don't pay to be a member of NetRelate!!!
