Alan and Denise I am asking you publically to reconsider this communites feedback area and they way it is currently.
I for one think the feedback sections is a GREAT one...I'd like to think it can be used to say
"Lori thanks for telling me about the sale of cribs and saving me $500-you're always watching out for us"
"Rachel thanks for taking my call last night when I had nursing issues-I couldn't have done it without your help"
"Beth thanks for the book recommedation-it has helped my parenting"
or other kind of "love notes"
BUT the way in which it is currently set up it has plus and minus signs assigned to it and then it has a point system assigned to it so I can go "hmmmm...like the advice but to me it's a 1 and not a 2"....
I love the kudos section but I really think the plus and minus signs and the point system are juvenille, and I have to say they offend me some...I am a 37 year old women and while I love to get "kudos" I certainly don't come here to get graded, or a plus sign or a negative sign.
I guess I just think how in the world can negative points be assigned to any parent coming to such a positive community about raising our bugaboos...like the example I gave earlier what would a delete in score or a minus sign represent on a "parent board"
I'm trying to think maybe "I think Neve is a bad parent because she dropped her child"...I mean what is there we can really say about eachother to cause a negative sign or a decrease in points.
And lets say we chose to avoid someones posts do they deserve a negative sign from me because of that???? Of course not...
I'll be honest and you all seem cool enough for me to come out and say it I can see a point system if this was a cyber sex board or something where your rating folks on some weird particpation...but it's not it's loving parents...
I'd like to suggest feedback be marketed as leaving "kudos" for community members, and that the point system and the plus and minus system be removed.
I think folks should beable to click on their feedback and see a wave of love notes...many many many and read them to their hearts content...
I'm going to come right out and say it for this is how I feel...but if someone really needs to see points assigned to their kudos than I really question their securities.
I say this after unscribing to the point system months ago, and not for lack of kudos by the way I think at the time only one member had more "points" than I did, so I made the decision totally based on how I really feel about the issue.
Where do we turn our points in at???? Did I win anything :)...
