Not necessarily malicious advice, just the kind that makes you stare into the distance afterwards.

I’m asking because a friend of my parents was over today, she’s in her 60s, and joked that “a good ride would sort out” my back issues.

For context, I have a severe back injury that causes extreme pain and neurological issues in my legs. I’m on high levels of morphine and it still barely touches it.

I’ve had some really fucking insulting and upsetting things said to me over the past few years about my health but that misogynistic comment genuinely takes the cake. I’m so drained by comments like this.

Ever since that up date happened the majority of the lots on the gallery are corrupted. Every single one of my mods is up to date and I check weekly, I’m a little OCD and use an excel sheet to keep track, I’ve done every check and trick including repairing the game. Nothing has worked!! Any suggestions? I despise marketplace.

Also to add, it’s intermittent. It happened a few minutes ago and now it’s back working but if I scroll down a fair bit it’ll become corrupted again. It’s very odd.

Edit to add: When I try to save my own lot it says “timed out during upload”. please check internet connection or try again in a minute”

My internet is fine and it’s all connected as normal.

Hello,

We want to share an important update with the community regarding something that has recently come to our attention.

Over the past while, we have identified a pattern of accounts posting very personal stories involving serious and sensitive topics such as cancer, domestic violence, financial hardship and single parenthood. These are all real and deeply important issues that affect many women in Ireland, and this subreddit exists to support open discussion around them.

However, we have received reports that some of these accounts may have gone on to request money or other assistance through private messages after engaging with users here.

We also understand that this situation has attracted wider attention, including from media sources.

We want to be very clear:

**1. This does not mean people should stop posting about hardship.**

Many members of this community are dealing with genuinely difficult situations and deserve support, advice and understanding. We do not want to discourage anyone from reaching out.

**2. At the same time, we need to protect the community from potential exploitation.**

We are aware of instances where users have been contacted privately and asked for small amounts of money or help with items or services.

If you have interacted with someone in this way, please know:

* Your kindness is not misplaced, it reflects the strength of this community
* You should not feel embarrassed or at fault

What we are asking members to do

* Please do not send money, vouchers, tickets, or goods to users you do not know personally
* Please do not move conversations off Reddit (e.g. to WhatsApp) with users you meet here
* If you receive a message asking for money or assistance, please report it to Reddit using the Report function
* You are also welcome to message the mod team via Modmail if you are unsure about anything

If you may have been affected

If you believe you may have been a victim of fraud, we would strongly encourage you to contact your local Gardaí.

A note on moderation

As moderators, we do not have visibility into private messages, which makes situations like this difficult to manage fully. Where we see comments offering money or requesting payment details publicly, we will remove them.

Our focus is on keeping this space safe, while still allowing people to share honestly about their lives.

Final Note

This community is built on trust, empathy and support. Unfortunately, that can sometimes be taken advantage of but it does not take away from the fact that most people here are genuine and acting in good faith.

Please continue to support each other, just with a bit of added caution when it comes to financial or material help.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via Modmail.
