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

I'm glad *someone* understands. I've done both, simply because I do not want ANY drama on my journal. I get enough of it from the message board I go to. If someone wants to RESPECTFULLY disagree with me and discuss it, that's fine, but once they start personally insulting me on my journal, I'm going to delete it. I don't want that trash on my journal.

As for disabling comments, I've done that for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

If you don't like the way someone keeps their journal, I would suggest either dealing with it, or taking them off of your list.

Personally...I don't pay $35/year ($10 for the extra icons) to have people tell me how to run my own journal.

No offense...that's just my take on the subject.

No, I'm pissed at the mod of a comm. Somebody posted a question which led to an interesting, but polite discussion - and the mod deleted the question WITHOUT asking the original poster and posted her reason WITHOUT allowing comments. My belief is that it's not YOUR comm like it's your journal, it belongs to the people in it.

*hugs* I'm sorry. I was ranting about something in a comm, it never occured to me that people would thing "personal journal" when reading it. Journals aren't, and shouldn't be, like comms. Because they're run by individuals, not groups of people, and I do think a community's maintainer's should be just added, the real rules and all decided by the community members.
