Loosing members from the forum!
G'day folks,
I am really sad today because we are going to lose two really good forum members. I have had several phone conversations with these great people and they are frustrated about certain member’s attitudes.
The forum, or any forum, should be about imparting knowledge, assistance and hopefully forming camaraderie to its members. However, it should not be a place where individuals try to dominate it as their own personal playground.
I have seen the same issues with other forums when great people have left because certain individual members have been over powering. This then causes the particular forum to turn to shite, moral teeters, good members leave, and then finally sponsors leave creating an empty shell of a place.
The most damaging issues in any group environment ie, forums, clubs even the workplace is personalities and how to control them properly without offending others. It is always the little things that cause all the major problems in life and forums are no different.
PS, I hope the two forum members please reconsider about leaving.
Kind regards,
RLI
