Is it a common occurrence for certain members of MS World to not only monopolize the boards, dominate the conversation and even get special threads with their username in the title? It’s turning into a bizarre VIP treatment.
Or is this a rare situation?
I haven’t been a member for very long so I’m hoping one of the older members can chime in here.
I haven’t been posting much and to be honest, I’ve been really turned off by what the boards are turning into. I said months ago when I first began posting that I was disappointed but I held out hope that things would turn around. They haven’t. While it’s a little quieter right now, it’s a lull and it will start back up again. It’s a predictable pattern at this point.
I understand wanting to help someone in need, but at what cost? Is all of this special attention actually helping in a meaningful way or is it feeding into other issues such as a need for attention?
Just look at the amount of replies in specific threads and tell me what it says to other members who have their own questions, issues, rants or stories to share.
Is the “increased traffic” really worth it if others don’t feel they have a safe place to share their equally valid posts?
