Kata Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I tried to read this thread, but I gave up on page 6.... Like I have given up on most things in here lately:boxed: I am not posting less because I've been bullied, I'm posting less because I end up feeling I'm a bully everytime I participate in any kind of discussion and that feeling is not nice either!

Wendi Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Deb - I think all the moderators - in my experience - are fair and unbiased - but maybe thats because I have been here for over a year. I was thinking that some of the newer members may not really feel they know the mods all that well, and so may be unsure whether they will get a fair hearing!! I dont see anything else the mods can do - but I think if a problem occurs then we, as members, can direct people in your direction. If they don't want to do that then there is nothing we or you can do about it. I also think there are a lot of hormones on this forum - and they dont bring harmony either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkunicorn123 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well, I can certainly understand both of these points. If you're younger, you might want to discuss things with someone your own age, sure.  And as for what you're saying Wendy -- that may well be true, that someone might feel that we moderators are friendly with the supposed problem poster. That doesn't mean we can't be objective and fair though. At least, I hope it doesn't.  I try to be friendly with EVERYONE here. Obviously, I have some closer relationships, but I hope that I haven't been UNfriendly to anyone!  Clearly, I'm not against the original point of this thread -- I don't think we ought to tolerate bullying, and I'm a HUGE proponent of "why can't we all get along?" I think you all ought to have seen that by now.  But in looking at the accusations made in this thread that such bullying and negativity are WIDESPREAD throughout this forum, and that A LOT of people feel it... well, I have to wonder if the problem is SO huge, why no one feels able to PM a moderator about it. That ought to be the standard procedure, as Diana has posted here: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13125  dcdeb   I agree with both of your points. Since i made this thread i have have 16 others (ontop of the original 4) contact me saying they they are so glad and proud (?!?!) that someone was brave enough to make the thread and that they wished they were equally brave enough to post in it, but that they wanted me to know how happy they were and how much they agreed.  It seems strange to me that these people would not go to senior members of the site - if not extremely concerning.  Might i suggest an email address that members could contact anonymously. Obviously with PMs there is a username attatched, where as with an email address, moderators could still respond to complaints without members feeling embarrassed. Free email accounts are all over the web that members could use if they do not want to email from their actual address.  Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that the average member like me is a bit more in contact with other non-mod-MFCers and if a problem arises (if we sniff a change of atmosphere) I usually tell them first to hear what they think about it. I don't usually contact mods first if it's not a specific incident like someone asking for pictures of Mika's pets or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
