Members Views- Mediation?UPDATE ...SEXY BLOW UP MEN HA!

[stardust]

A lot of people are still coming around to the news that the forum has changed hands- which is understandable.

I personally feel that this forum has lost its homely feel and many members have already left and even started a new forum as they no longer feel welcome here.

I feel really sad that this forum is changing from a safe haven friendly area to a verbal war zone.

I am hoping that maybe here we can share ideas and help Richard to make it what it was.

We all have a lot to lose, we will loose our one good place and Richard will loose the money and time he invested.

So suggestions anyone?

For me i feel that the strict censorship and the deleting of threads without explanation or warning is getting peoples backs up.
Maybe we can have a post with the new rules and maybe a message explaining why the thread has been deleted.
Oh and if possible delete offensive posts and not the threads??

Hoping we can compromise to save our beloved forum.

p.s please no arguing x

Yes there was a blip last week and well with 18,000 members dont suppose you can expect everyone to get on.

But since then I dont think i have seen one bad post. In fact i would have said the support we are receiving from each other for the new eyfs is amazing :thumbsup:

There are other forums always has been and its a free country where anyone can set one up. Plenty of pages on fb which offer help and advice.

I also think the support that goes on via pm's etc is second to none. I know they have been when i need support :thumbsup:

[wendywu]

I think the forum has settled down now and there is now no problem .

I belong to holiday forums and one for families of Far East POW and on them all if threads get out of hand or insulting they get deleted.

The forum Holiday Truths recently changed hands as the original owners wife became very ill and he could no longer spare it the time. Two brothers bought it and completely overhauled it and rearranged it. With hardly any fuss at all. We were just grateful that it did not get closed down as it did come off line for a week or so.

We should have the same ethos on here because if Pauline was finding it too much for her to run and Richard had not stepped up to the plate then our beloved forum could have vanished into thin air. And that my friends would have been a very sad day indeed. :thumbsup::D

I totally agree Over the last few months the support for others on here has been fantastic, and I don't know the people i answer on threads but i am always willing to help if i can. Please everyone keep up the support for all of us:group hug:

[The Juggler]

you know. I dont' feel this forum has lost it's homely feel. the lack of homely feel was with the posts between members and with Richard. That hasn't happened since the advent of the new forum set up - maybe those members who were really unahppy have found a new home they are happy with - so be it - that is life.

This forum is what WE make it. It's a members forum. The support we provide and the way we speak to each other and the owners is up to us. If we are upset with someone we can always PM, that way it doesn't end up in a slanging match and personal disagreemtns are sorted less publicly.

I think less censorship wouldn't go amiss, and I hope that is a lesson learned. If someone has overstepped the mark or a thread is out of order, it does no harm to be told this privately before threads go missing - but this has not happend for a while, so I 'm reading - lesson learned - by all.

I love this forum and I'm not about to let it change over a few disagreements, we are all bigger than that. We members can make it as homely as it ever was :D

[angeldelight]

Well I think the forum is brilliant ...always has been always will be :clapping:

Ive been here since the start and we have often had blips ....long before Richard was here ..... But we sort them out pick ourselves up and start again ...

We never ever delete anything here unless necessary ....I don't know why anyone would think we would ?

The homely feeling is still here ..... if you ask for support here if times are bad either in your job or personal life and hey ho all of a sudden you will get heaps of support from everyone,more so sometimes than you get from real friends and family.

I've got heaps of cards and presents that I will treasure for ever from my friends here .....some one tell me where else you would get that sort of love and genuine support?

Pauline built the forum from nothing .... and we all love her for that :clapping:

Richard can continue with that?

But the main thing is the members ....they make it what it is .....good or bad ...it's what YOU all make and want it to be

I love it here and I've made some fantastic friends ,I think we should all stop moaning and be thankful that we have this fantastic forum :clapping::clapping:

Ah that's lovely Angel , well said

[jumpinjen]

I agree that the members make it what it is - there have been more heated discussions in the last year than before but that was before Richard took over, and i said (in a jokey way) an another thread at the weekend that I've had loads of my stuff deleted by pauline for one reason or another over the years - it doesn't bother me that much, it's not like China's internet supression or anything is it?

I think it is homely and welcoming - I've had a real laugh here the last couple of weekend evenings when my husband is on long night and I'm home alone - start a crazy thread and get laughing!

well said xxx

i think we are as lovely, and as mad as ever!

the forum is the place i go at the start and end of every day ( and many more times inbetween ). i come here to laugh, to cry and to ask the question that, no matter how odd, someone will have an answer, suggestion or idea about. i couldn't work without all my wonderful friends and colleagues here.

[bunyip]

I don't think there's any lack of homely feel. I feel very supported here, and I rely on the forum because I am isolated and largely excluded within my local CM group. :)

There has been some heated debate. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with CMs holding strong and sometimes opposing views, just so long as we don't get rude or personal. This forum is an absolute paradise in that respect, compared to many/most other forums out there in cyberspace.

The changes, such as they are, have coincided with the 'new improved' EYFS. I think this explains a lot of the heated debates, and also why people have often felt a bit unsettled and out of sorts with CMing as a whole. That's almost bound to be reflected on these boards.

Finally, it's only fair to Richard to correct the OP's suggestion that threads have been deleted without explanation. Richard made a full explanation of why threads were deleted within the thread, "Penny and Blue Boy are leaving". It appears that a very small number of members left the forum. Rather than go quietly and with dignity, it would appear that some of them succumbed to temptation and fired their Parthian shots by way of personal attacks on Richard. I don't think anyone should have to be subject to such attacks. Neither do I think that Richard should have to sit by his pc, forever trawling through posts looking for that kind of thing. Neither should he have to explain himself every time he takes down a thread which breaches the rules of the forum.

A new set of rules were posted on 20 August. But then, do grown-up realy need telling not to make personal attacks?

Time to move on.:thumbsup:

[Pipsqueak]

Well I am quite comfy homey on my snuggly sofa in the corner of the forum.....:D

[rickysmiths]

I think people should stop keeping dragging it all up and up.

For goodness sake let it go and stop having pops at members who have now left and actually did not attack anyone it was other members who had a go a Richard for his sarky and unnecessary remarks.

Mods please close of delete this thread and lets leave this subject alone for good and all.


I thought I would be honest and say I have actually suggested that this thread be closed or indeed be deleted.

Until they stop I don't know how the forum will move on and I can't see how it helps to keep saying lets call it quits or how marvelous the new owner is or bad Penny and Blue Boy, We are grown ups. The two members have well and truly gone so leave them alone please. Lets just leave this topic alone for good and all.

[Richard]

I don't recall making any "sarky or uneccesary" remarks. If I did then I apologise.

Two people have left the forum and I think everyone has now moved on.

Penny and Blue Boy are not bad people. It was their choice to leave and everyone respects that.

We wish them both all the best for the future.

As so many others have said, it is the members that make this forum. There are nearly 19,000 members and lots of new members joining everyday.

The forum continues to provide helpful, friendly advice and I know is well loved by the majority.

Apology accepted.

I have to disagree because there would not be threads such as this started if people had moved on. I don't think they are very helpful Richard.

But it's turned into a lovely positive thread RS ... No one had mentioned anything about Richard .....you did that !! Sorry about being blunt and I don't want to get involved in this really and I really don't want to upset you at all I like everyone to stay friends and be happy ...BUT .....

Have you thought maybe it's also time for you to forget the past weeks antics and for you to move on too ......you saying things about Richard is not very helpful either ...do you see what I mean?

So come on RS how about you telling us what you DO like about the forum?

[Richard]

There was probably no need for this thread to have been started but I see no harm letting people make their subjective opinions known here as long no one is being nasty or unpleasant.

I see there is talk of the new forum possibly closing due to very few people posting.

We haven't seen more than 2 people leaving here and interestingly we have had more new registrations within the last few days than for quite sometime.

It is great to see that the majority still love this forum and are logging in and posting so regularly.

[Pipsqueak]

[gegele]

ooops sorry :blush:

we really going to need recliners?

who's getting the coffee though?

[jumpinjen]

I think there has been a big influx of new members and new minders too with the arrival of the revised EYFS start date and that has made the topics of posts more about paperwork and technical help than fun and discussions a bit, but these members will become the experiences supportive ones in time and that's great - new ideas, approaches always very welcome!!

Angel and Pip would you like a cool drink with your reclining chair?

What new forum? I've missed the gossip!

[FussyElmo]

I have a raspberry torte frest from the oven if you make room for me on the recliner :thumbsup:

One of the members on our lovely forum started their own forum but it hasn't been very popular and they are already talking about closing it!

We won't mention it here!! :)

Richard, point taken!;)

[barbarella68]

I thought Richard was being sarky at the time and I read it and reread it and it still sounded sarky,but that's in the past.I also belong to the new group as mentioned and don't know where you got your info from but is is doing very well :) Plenty of room for more than one group,they are both very informative.:D

[rickysmiths]

There you go again Richard, gloating and carping. You are I think a professional. Stop it.

I won't say anymore or I will be rude. Just think about what you are doing and saying please.

This was a lovely forum but I certainly won't be contributing as much as I did.

[Jods]

Hate to point this out girlies but Richard is a >whispers< man!! and he types just like my OH speaks lol!! (and gad! do I want to lump my OH, when he talks like it pft)

as for the OP, disagree in the highest degree x

The forum is fab, love it, might just be a bit stalkerish about it you know x

I don't think I was "being sarky" but have already apologised if anyone thought I was.

I was referring to this post on the "new group":


The forum has been open a week ..... and after the initial rush only a handful of people are posting.

Huge thanks to them for keeping it going but we really need you all to post if you want to keep the forum. If you no longer need it or don't think it's what you expected thats fine it can close but if you want it to stay you need to use it.

Glad to hear it is doing very well :)

That's your choice. Not sure what you want me to stop? Someone asked about the "new forum" and I was just filling her in. I know you are a big supporter of the new place and that's fine.

[rickysmiths]

no sorry x :laughing:

[The Juggler]

I agree Ricky but to be fair, I think both you and Richard are both behaving the same way. If you re=read your posts to each other here, neither of you are being very professional.

I don't want new members coming on and seeing this kind of rubbish - they will leave.

this was a lovely positive post until (as Angel mentioned) you dragged up the whole nonsense again :panic:

[FussyElmo]

no sorry x :laughing:

Oh good makes me feel better. I do have to count backwards in 7's quite a few times with him or I would be in court for strangling him :thumbsup:

ooh what do I LOVE about the forum

the good friends - met and not met yet - I have made
the amazing advice, the diversity of opinion, the wonderful ideas, the solid support
the laughter, the fun, the antics
the passion of those who are here because we love and believe in our work
dedication of likeminded people - albiet that occasionally we differ in our views
the way y'all can give me 'that lift' when I need it

I am also extremely proud that we are a very caring, understanding collective who can and do support each other not just professionally but personally as well. i have seen many threads over the years that have dealt with some really heartbreaking and heartrending stuff and I KNOW that this forum, the people on here make a difference.
For some people we (the Forum collective) are a vital lifeline in more ways than one
I know that if I have a problem or connumdrum - professionally or personally I know that I can come on here, night or day and I will get advice or just a friendly ear to listen, people who will give me a kick up the derriere when its needed or a shoulder to cry on, you allow me to wallow for a bit and then shove me on in the right direction.

People - many of whom I have never met who know me - actually know me and accept me as me! and heavens knows I can be an unlikeable soul at times! lol

This Forum (collective lol) has given me the confidence professionally to know what I do is good and right. It inspires me and helps me improve my practice.

I am sure there is more.....but you get the gist:D

And to all the friends who i would have never met if it wasnt for here. Some have actually become real friends and not just virtual (voices)friends :thumbsup:

[stardust]

I didn't start this thread as some sort of argument maker, I actually have no problem with Richard taking over and actually like the new logo ect. I was trying to make a thread where members could express what they like and don't like in order to help Richard make it better or to improve it.

Im fully aware posts were edited or deleted before Richard took over- I was just saying that maybe it would help not start 'why has my thread gone' posts if it is explained why it has been removed. I was trying to give Richard a helpful tip as to what some member would appreciate.

In my original post I haven't had a dig at anyone. Just simply expressed that I personally feel its lost its homely feel because members feel that the moderation is too strict and thought that a tread where we can explain what we would prefer would help make some member feel more inclined to come back.

I am also aware there are other forums but just feel disheartened that member have started their own forum because they feel they cannot post here.

I now wish I hadn't bothered trying to be helpful now as clearly everyone thinks i was out to cause trouble. I haven't posted on the form in a while, I avoided all those threads because I didn't want to be part of them. If I had wanted to jump on the band wagon and caused trouble it wouldn't have been a post like this.

I honestly feel the forum has lost its homely appeal as clearly everyone is being so judgmental.

[Richard]

The moderation is exactly the same as it has always been. We have the same moderators and posts were sometimes deleted before I took over.

Two threads were deleted when Penny and Blue Boy announced they were leaving but these were replaced with a new thread which explained why the previous ones had been deleted.

We have already had a thread about what members like about the forum and what they would like to see changed or improved and if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions then they are welcome to contact me anytime.

[angeldelight]

Right I think we are going around in circles booooooo.

The original poster didn't start this thread to start debates

So now you are not allowed to be negative any more ....if you want to be then switch off for a bit like you do when you don't like a tv programme.

We are all different with different views you have had your views good or bad ....time to move on and end the subject NOW ....BECAUSE I SAY SO!!

IM BEING BOSSY NOW ....

Right sooooooooo

Are we all having a good day? It's been a bit dull here but sun just coming out wahooooo.

I havnt posted for ages as personally i feel the forum lost its homely feeling months ago! i think its just far too big, dont know who anyone is with all the name changes and members seem to get to green to quickly. its just less personal than it was.

Lest we all forget that this forum is made up of thousands of small business owners, with varying successes in the financial sense (although many do extremely well), but always a huge success in other ways - like being at home with your kids/the joy of working from home.

There are others here, myself included, who have other businesses too, aside from a childminding business. Some in the childcare industry, some not.

We are a mixed bunch of nuts (and I think that term wholly appropriate :D), a melting pot of ideas and backgrounds, and ALL have something to bring to the table professionally.

[Bushpig]

I tried to bite my lip but it started to bleed...

Interesting that you choose 1 post from a fledgling forum that gives a negative impression :rolleyes:

I find 'copying & pasting' in this manner cringeworthy and unprofessional. Does neither forum justice :(

But as i say to my mindees you are allowed to have more than one friend in life and i guess the same goes for forums. Now Richard about the free forum pens :laughing:

As for you Angel i have my order in for my Enrique pillow case for Christmas :jump for joy:

[nic t]

Blimey! :panic:

At the end of the day this is a free forum. We don't pay for it and in my opinion should be grateful that it is here. I'm not on here alot but this is the first place I come for advice and I am really appreciative of that especially with the EYFS update.

I hadn't been on for a while as I was off in the summer holidays and I only knew the goings on after reading a thread and searching on some history! Until then I hadn't had a clue. Looked exactly the same to me, threads being started and people responding.
