Hi there,
I would just like to take a moment to outline a few things with regard to posting in the Chit Chat board.
1. Chit Chat is a board that is primarily used for posting any non-Disney dicussion. Whilst the bulk of the WDWMAGIC Forum is for Disney discussion, there will always be some topics that are discussed, but do not fit into any of the other boards. Chit Chat is specifically for these non-Disney topics. used properly, I believe Chit Chat is a useful board on the forum, and helps underpin a lot of the community feel here on WDWMAGIC.
2. We need to take some care in what we post, and how things are interpretted. There have recently been several threads with language that isnt suitable for a family audience. There are also instances of adults, talking with younger members in a way that can be interpretted as inappropriate for this site, and the age of some of the members. This forum will not tolerate any posts that can be interpreted that way. If this is something you wish to do, do it elsewhere, and not on this site.
3. Groups of members are posting in single, large threads. Whilst there isnt anything specifically wrong with this, small groups are forming, which then makes others feel unwelcome. These groups also tend to operate in a co-ordinated way, which can be damaging to the other areas of the forum.
4. The single, large threads, seem to be a source of considerable drama. Despite the fact that most of the members participating are adults, often, they decend into arguments and petty fighting that are more often found amogst 12 year olds on the playground.
5. Chit Chat is an extension of the main Disney discussion areas. Ultimately, the members should be here to talk mainly about Disney. There are an increasing number of people who are posting solely in Chit Chat. It would seem that these people are not here to dicuss Disney, which is of course the purpose of the site.
I would ask all of you to try to post in a way that makes WDWMAGIC a good place to be. Can we put an end to some of the drama, and pointless petty arguing that is currently going on, and try to return this part of the site to a fun, interesting, and welcoming place.
I will be paying extra close attention to this area of the site, and if things continue the way they are without any improvement, some changes will have to be made.
Remember, WDWMAGIC Forums are only as good as the members taking part. The vast majority of us want what is best for the site, and the community that has built up here. So please do anything you can to support that notion.
Thanks for reading.
