Okay, so, I want to make something clear before I say this. I am in no way trying to come off as disrespectful or condescending, @[Angry Face]. I simply want to share why I don't agree with your post, for the most part. Now, what I do agree with is that fact that for some people, it can be annoying to see other members who are not actively trying to help the WBO, complain about issues within it. That is something I can acknowledge. But, what I don't agree with is the generalization of the members posting in this thread. Not all of us are just posting issues to do nothing about them. I know, I, myself, am doing what I can to help shorten the number of uninformed members. So, when I posted my "triggers" I was posting the things I am hoping to accomplish in making happen less. And, I didn't only post my problems here. I posted the solution, and why this problem cannot be easily improved. Because, though the problems here are as such, they cannot be fixed easily. And, I understand well that complaining will not fix them. But, I am not the only member here who posted their concerns in a perfectly fine manner, in my eyes. Because, not only are they actively helping the community, they were posting concerns instead of "triggers". But, the other problem I have with your post, is your statement that this thread should be closed. I am completely against that. Because, as someone who knows many moderators on much bigger sites, I know that public opinion is something well thought out and sought after by most in control. Because, whether the feedback is good or not, you're going to want to know the biggest concerns. So, having a thread for WBO members, newer and older to express their concerns on this community shouldn't be looked down upon. Of course, small posts sharing "triggers" are a bit different. But, when actively helping members or just plain respectable members post their problems with the community, it's something there for the moderators to think about. I mean, I know that the moderators are mostly heavily informed of the problems taking place here. But, seeing how many people are against one issue might be beneficial. So, as long as this thread remains a place for people to respectively post their concerns, why not keep it? Also, no one here is doing any real harm. People aren't targetting certain people, which is something one would expect from a thread like such. But, it's been kept relatively full of people who just want to state their concerns. Now, from what I've seen, there hasn't been any real "bashing of our fellow bladers". Most of us are talking about members who aren't helping much in the community. Those who add extra work to the moderators already overfilled plates. Which is something I think most of us can agree is a reason to be upset. Which is why I posted about it. I rarely post in threads like these because I do not wish for my posts to come off in a way they shouldn't. But, I wanted to share my goals and concerns, along with everyone else. So, if this thread is not breaking any of the WBO's rules and is not being used in a bad way, why not let the people share how they feel? Us as a community with rules and people in power should respect the opinions of those trying to make it better. Whether by sharing information, helping new members, or doing small things to brighten the place. It's all worth something. So, along with that taken job, those of us not causing the problems should be able to share what we hope everyone can work to stopping. And, that's not to say that this thread may have been misused, but it is to show that public opinion is something us as people have always been used to sharing, and those above have been used to listening to. And, we have one of the best mod teams. So, I know that they care about the members here and their thoughts. So, why get rid of a place for people to share concerns about the behavior of bad members? Now, of course, when this places title is actually taken into personal full opinion, it can go against what I am saying here. Filling with people just complaining about an activity that isn't too big of a deal. But, for the most part, this places purpose is a good one. And, I believe that not everyone posting here should be accused of not trying to help the community or solve the problem they complained about. Because, I know for a fact, that most of the members here are actively trying to help this place. Whether mod, organizer, or plain old member. But, once again, before I end this post, I just want to remind you that I am in no way trying to make your statement seem unreasonable or stupid. I just want to show why this is a good idea when used correctly.
