Some things which I DO NOT LIKE in communities

[conuly]

Disabling comments because you're scared of discussion. That's rude.

Deleting another person's post because YOU think that THEY do not like the way conversation is going even though THEY have not said anything of the sort... I don't even understand this. Let THEM delete THEIR own post... or admit that YOU are the one with a problem.

That is all.

Edit:

*giggles* I was pissed at something that happened in a comm I'm in. I'm not pissed anymore (yay) although I stand by the less inflammatory form of my statements (which runs "I disagree with...."). I really don't hold these statements for personal journals, just communities. So my view is "if you don't like comments on a post in your community, you freeze the threads or delete the comments, you don't delete the post unless you're the person who made it, and since it's a community, not a personal journal, you don't announce policy changes (or nonchanges) without giving any room for discussion". Because those are communities. Not journals.

Comments

In communities. Now I have to backtrack and tell EVERYBODY what I meant. Grr.

Yeah, communities are different. Nobody should get to disable comments in a comm except the mod, and then only on flat announcements that aren't open to discussion.

then only on flat announcements that aren't open to discussion.

See, I would never even do that. Announcements especially should be open to discussion - just be prepared to delete comments (which is fair). That way people get to make sure they know what you mean, and if EVERYbody disagrees with you, you can reconsider. My motto is It's Not Just My Comm.

I mean, in this case, it's not even enough to piss me off that much, were it I'd've left the comm in question, but it grates on my sensibilities.
