Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
I don't think that the private pm deals will be such a big deal because if someone's goal is just to get a huge reputation withoug the fellowship, they can do that. The problem I see is when they bring that back into the thread and start using the high rep power as power and not as something they can give.Yes I do think a rule change will be necessary soon -- do I WANT that? no. Do I think it would help this area? YES.
But even with a rule change, it won't stop the private PM deals people can make & are doing now...
but .... it mite be necessary
Not having to restrict things would be best, but it does seem that it's where things are heading.the last thing you want is restrictions heading down the path........ oy vey.
But, look what's happening.
very possible... but.... who's going to be the one to request them (they'll get attacked by rotten tomatoes) and how do we figure out exactly what the problem is?Not having to restrict things would be best, but it does seem that it's where things are heading.
I guess that we will have to really take a good look at all the factors in the problem and then make a list. As to who will make a request... I don't know. For the sake of the community I would be willing to, even though I think that it would make me an enemy to some.very possible... but.... who's going to be the one to request them (they'll get attacked by rotten tomatoes) and how do we figure out exactly what the problem is?
As I see it, it's more than 1 single thing causing problems.
Exactly -- that's my worry. a hero to some, an enemy to others.I guess that we will have to really take a good look at all the factors in the problem and then make a list.

FUN.
to be honest, a private thread mite be better to open to hash out possible sources of the problems --- but then, you need several people giving input to pinpoint their issues... complaints they have.I guess that would tell me who my friends are...
oh goodness, where was the last place that you helped clean up? And how do we do a private thread?to be honest, a private thread mite be better to open to hash out possible sources of the problems --- but then, you need several people giving input to pinpoint their issues... complaints they have.
But if you've already been hearing what they are, (and I know I have from the people I know), then... a private thread would be able to work then pass it on in these threads after some conclusions are arrived at?
I dunno - it may be a useless attempt too. Do I really want to get involved in another clean up issue here?
The last one I got involved with, the whole area shut down & divisions happened.
sigh.
We are talking about how to get this sub-forum back to being fellowship focused and not so star and reps focused.
