We have talked about possibly implementing new rules in the breeder section which would result in serious suspensions/banning or allowing only experienced breeders to reply to posts. We wish these ideas weren't necessary and they are not. If you cannot reply with fact based, helpful information then don't. It's really just that simple.
This section is consistently the most reported and cruelest section we have and I don't know why. We have so many experienced breeders here that no longer post or in some cases don't even want to be members anymore. I find that particularly sad and a detriment to yorkietalk.
Please think before you post and remember everyone was new at one time.
Thank You~ |
Kim - Thank you so very much for another reminder. It is so very sad that a group of adults with a common love can't be nice to one another and share information.
Many people who stumble upon YorkieTalk have an immediate need for help. That is not the time for lectures about what should have or could have been done. That is the time to embrace the new member and offer what help we can. After the crisis is over then is the time to try and gently educate. I don't think that I would be willing to listen to someone, no matter how knowledgeable they are, if they were rude to me or made snide remarks in a thread I started asking for help. Those who can't or won't be educated -- well there is nothing we can do to help them or the plite of their Yorkies. Some of the most outspoken posters in this thread have no breeding experience, and a multitude of silent readers have a wealth of knowledge, but refuse to post. The sad thing is -- we all can learn from each other if we would quit trying to be right all the time and open our minds and hearts to the ideas of others.
