I am one who complained" (although I felt I was "reporting") and for what I consider very valid reasons. I did not do it because I have issues with any of the people who posted in this forum...I do think that many of the postings were advertisements and my understanding was that people who sell are not allowed to do that. They were not my competition so it had nothing to do with that either. I just saw something that I felt could be a potential problem for the forum and reported it...I did not see it as complaining. Hope maybe you can take the time to understand that when people hit the exclamation button it is often because they think what they are saying is feedback for the good of the forum. I do understand the intent and purpose of the little triangle and have used it on many occasions, especially in some of the more controversial Forums.
How wonderful of you Ann to give of your precious time to solve this issue.  |
Hummm, I said
thread NOT post! You entirely misunderstood my POST! I was referring to Ann's statement about questions she had fielded several months ago regarding threads. I was not aware of these threads, I was busily trying to recover from major surgery. In fact I went back through the Fashion Forum and looked for threads that may have been overtly marketing, and found a few. It simply doesn't matter to me who complains about what. I would like to think that most people who complain have a genuine complaint about the thread/post, but I do know that some complain simply because they don't like the poster and want to cause conflict.
I have been on YT long enough to understand that there are many personality quirks and conflicts and my comments directed towards Ann's post simply reflected that personality conflicts can and do influence how people post.
To set the record straight, I have used the little triangle button to report THREADS and POSTS that were specifically for marketing a product that were posted outside of the "Selling Forums".
I am going to refrain from posting pictures in this forum - and limit my forays here to sightseeing
