Anyone want to know what petstore I got Baby at? :p Just PM me. :p

I have gotten pms before about where I got my dogs and have given that info out. I know there is alot of bad stuff going on here right now but I would still hate to see this become a closed forum.

Personally, I find it exteremy flattering when I get PM's with questions about where I got my girls. It's like the ultimate complement!

I don't see what's wrong with it.

It's up to you to give the information or not.

I am not a donating member only because I cannot afford to be as of yet.
But I feel that shutting things off to people who cannot donate is harsh. Alot of us have obtained alot of important information about our little ones health and care on this site.

I can relate to the sadness ref to the pm to the little angels mom about her care of her little one. Those of us who have seen her posts and some of you probably know her personally know that she was a great mommy and lavished her little one with love and care.

I am shocked at what some people post on this site but as it is everywhere in life there are good people and there are bad people. Why make all of us suffer for the stupidity, insensitivity and crassness of others.

It postings and other areas are limited to donating members then alas I too will be not be able to continue my yorkie education and that makes me really sad.

Just my opinion

I belong to a pay forum and BELIEVE me people can be just as rude as people that dont pay...yes people will pay the 12.00 a year and still be there to cause trouble...I dont think it will change anything EXCEPT giving help to true yorkie lovers that are here for true help and knowledge..

I have had a few pm's about where I got my dogs...I havent given that information out but have named the city where I got them...my own personal choice..as everyone has that choice. I dont think its a good idea to make YT a closed forum...jmo..

I do agree that no one should have to post their phone numbers though...that is a bit too much information...

Nor would I. I don't think it's fair to make people pay for people to get information.

I'm pretty sure admin would never do this (as they have mentioned before) though.
I probably wouldn't be either, I would like to donate, but I never have the extra cash.

Another thing is, anyone can donate, just because someone donates doesn't mean they won't start BS

BamaFan121s 07-13-2007 08:06 PM
How would making the site pay-to-view only do any good? If people wanted to access it that badly, they'd just pay. All that is going to do is decrease the membership here and drive people away.:(

I think the key should be to be a little wiser about the information you make available. Seriously, these are things they teach and preach to middle school aged children. I agree this feels like a family of sorts, but bottom line is, it's still the INTERNET.

I just think in general sometimes we all really need to consider what information we so easily offer up without a second thought.

How many of you have gotten PM's asking about where you got your Yorkies? I know I have a few times and never even thought about it.

What can we do to make YT a safer place?

Would making it a closed forum for donating members only help?
I truly think it will. I pay a yearly membership to one of my homeschool forums and it seems to not have all this BS on it.

I know, we are NOT suppose to share personal information because this is a website...but this is our home! How can we make it better?????

Aurgh....I am just so greatly PO'ed right now!!!!:thumbdown :mad:
Sometimes when tempers flare and insults fly and the worst of people come out, it can be hard to feel safe. The key is to remember that the good of the community far outweighs any bad.

I like to live by the assumption that all people are basically good. Some are better than others, and there are certainly the select few that are truly bad. I have been fortunate that all the in-person introductions that I have experienced as a result of contacts from the internet have been have been positive experiences. Until I am given a reason otherwise, I am confident that I have been a pretty good judge of character.

A few trolls here and there can dampen the mood of our cyber-space communication, but it really doesn't seem to present any danger. Don't give them the power to take away your fun. They are but little black bits and pieces of text, and they have no power over you unless you give it to them.

I get so many PMs about where I got Marcel - and I've never thought twice about it, until recently. Someone just PMd me today, and because they only had 1 post count - I'm hesitating. And I feel really bad about it!

Maybe instead of making it a closed forum for donating members, maybe set requirements for must have a certain number of posts to be able to use the pm function?
Maybe allow breeders to NOT post their phone numbers when listing pups for sale...if anyone is seriously interested in a pup they could pm for more information or the phone number etc.
I brought this very same thing up a couple months ago about YT making breeders post their phone numbers, names, and addresses. I didnt get much response on it. I dont think it is necessary and if a potential buyer wants to know what it is they can pm me. I dont give that information out on my website for a good reason and I dont think they shoud be required to do it here either. Too many thiefs out there just waiting to get ahold of a yorkie for free.
