1. Do you feel that you can post without feeling inferior ????
2. Do you get the answers you require ???
3. How friendly do you find the site ???
1. I wouldn't say I have sometimes been left feeling inferior, but rather 'disregarded'. I do not allow people to make me feel inferior, but there have been times when peeps have totally disregarded my thoughts, opinions, queries, feelings etc..... We can't please all the people all of the time, and this is a huge site, but sometimes it is obvious that one is simply discounted.
When Neg reps were up and running, I did post for fear of being negged simply because somebody had it in for me. I feel more able to post freely now knowing that it is only the mods who can neg.
2. I mostly get the answers I require although sometimes not in one go which is fine. Sometimes the info dribbles out but at least I get it eventually. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and I don't know where I would be without it, so thank you geeks for being willing to share!
3. As in any community, you will have bunches of friends who know eachother both personally and on line. Most of my mates here are online although I feel as if I know them personally:hug:.
However, I do find certain groups quite clicky and they stick together no matter what! If you feel the need to challenge or question, or perhaps 'cross a certain line' you are deemed a 'trouble maker' or 'childish'.
It is my opinion that geek A can do or say something which is overlooked, but if geek Z does or says the same or similar thing, then they are told they are breaking geek rules and it is considered in bad light. The rules should be the same for everybody.
I feel that things have changed on the site especially over the past six months or so. I know I am not alone in my thoughts on this, but the changes have made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Just my opinion though which I hope I have managed to put over constructively.
