Newsgroup and Bashing (Community)
Newsgroup and Bashing // Communityjetta lewisNov 30, 1999, 9:25am
Ya know what? I ain't been bashed, flamed, mocked, nor riduculed......not
once in this "new" newsgroup. Yes, I admit it, I've posted some messages just to see if it would happen. I see several ppl are wanting to start up new groups for 'free' passage of info and that they are going to censor it for content, to prevent bashing, et al and to promote the passage of info to help the community. Got a hot flash for ya!! Here it is. I have seen several messages, so far, that in the past would have brought on a storm of bashing and counter bashing. You can start the new groups and I will look in on them, but until it can be shown to me, that AW is deliberatly keeping anyone from posting in here, because of who they are, rather than what they have to say, I will stick around. I admit, I have my own 'bones to pick' with AW, but will not deny that this is one of the best ideas they have ever had. The one thing that does bother me about this, is the inablility of non cits to post. They have legitimate questions, and from what I have observed in the past, are the last ones to cause any trouble. AW.com, you should reconsider that decision. Give it a shot. What have you got to lose? If malcontents use that means to communicate, you can always go back to what you are doing now. As it is, you are denying your future customers the ability to get much needed info and treating them as non entities.As far as other ngs are concerned, you can bet your life, that there are other ng in the works. Weather or not they can provide a quality service remains to be seen. |
