Thank you! not fun being attacked!
Thank you! not fun being attacked!
I just sent a message to you about PM's I keep getting from one member.. could someone please help me!
I think it's nice that a clean up is on it's way :)
I do have one question regarding ''drama initiators'' Are you refering to ''Rants''? If so I will be one to go :( ..I do not wish to go at all ILOVE IT HERE.. I think that rants are a way to get out our frustration over a store/cashier/CSM etc.. I know that i can count on ''you guys'' to understand what I went through at a store when it did not go well...
I sure hope I don't have to ''cry'' to my husband about it because he wont get it the way SC'ers do...
WTG on this clean up.. I do not like rude people or people that juge..It brings to much negativity to other members..
can we all say "BOO" -YA!
Thank you for everything you have been doing Boo! I love this site and live on here.
i have been here for a couple of month and i love this web site, i have seen a couple of those rude comments and to tell you the truth iam surprise that as adults we can't all get along ..i mean we can't help it if we get exited about coupons and i do want to know where everybody get the good coupons ..and i do have to brag that my brother works in a hotel where they get the newpaper and they trow away all the redplums and other coupons because the truth is what turist will use coupons lol right? lol so i ask him and he get them for me so sometimes i get about ten or more copies ..and i do share them with my single parents friends and live some at wm when i dont need them.. so to all the people its ok to brag about good coupons and it ok to ask i guess always respecting the other person ..i think that is the reason why so many of us like it here so much and to the moderators keep up the good work and good luck to you.. and sorry about the other people that are not appreciating the work you do ...:)
Thanks BOO. It is needed. I have been on for just over a year and I love it. it has been a life changer for me. Saving tons of money. Donating to shelters. Making new friends. Finding all those deals. Its just fabulous. Frustrating lately with all the negative people. Thanks for cleaning it up and hopefully making it a happier place to be again. I have stopped bragging as well for fear of someone hurting my feelings. And I have alot of great pictures and deals to share.
YAY!!!
Thank you Boo and Mod's!!!
I love this site because its a possitive place to enjoy/share my hobbie. I'm so happy to see you exterminating the bad eggs!
Sorry you guys had to be saddled with this task, but hoping that it helps filter out the negativity. It can't be easy considering the influx of new members, myself included. Here's hoping it all runs smoothly.
yes there is alot of that going on Boo. nice to see this will be stopped :-)
Thanks Boo, we all have enough stress in our lives. Say, when you are done on here, could you come over here and get rid of rude drivers too lol! TGIF and have a nice weekend.
thanks boo for all your hard work and mods too-i just love to lookat others deals and post mine -happy to donate this year and last year too-have been couponing for years -and smart canucks helped me take it to another level-no more negitivity-yeah
Wow, its mindblowing how many have said they have been attacked. Sooooo sad. I know because it happened to me too. I know it puts you in a position to "have" to defend yourself or you can look guilty of the accusations being slung at you by some. Then still others don't realize you are trying to defend yourself or clear your name and they jump on the bandwagon. I have seen this going on, not just to me but to others. So greatful for peace in the future!
Boo and mods - thank you so much for this wonderful site.
Yes, there has been negitivity and uncalled-for remarks.
I feel guilty myself of this, as several times I felt compelled to respond to comments that were directed at me but weren't true. Since the last time this happened I had already decided that anyone making any negative or untruthful comments just wasn't worth any response at all. And since I decided to file these comments under the "they don't know any better" heading I've felt better about myself and have enjoyed the site much more.
I could go on and on about how I feel about this site but you know how much time I spend here so you know I really love it here.
I'm so glad to know that you will be monitoring what is going on (even if it is me that speaks inappropriatily) and that steps will be taken to stop the negativity.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks for keeping the board a fun, enjoyable place for all! :)
Thanks for doing this Boo. With so much attacking going on, I am sure some people dont even post any more. Just browse, read and leave.
I love SC for the positive comaraderie and lately there has been just too much negativity and rudeness.
You have a tough job ahead of you Boo!!, but I agree it time to do some housework.
I might not say much here on SC, but I see quite a bit of it.
I haven't been as active in the last month than I normally am and was a surprised to see familiar faces hiding and others leaving. As a member of this wonderful board for over 2+ years, I would hate to see this board deteriorate and am glad things are getting looked at and improving for the better for all of us!
Awesome idea!
Glad to hear this will be going on, I have been getting tired of all the attacking and negative/singled out remarks going on lately.
I did have a question, though. Is it still acceptable to let people know if they are using a coupon incorrectly?
For example we recently had the Dove $2 WUB2 coupons - which some people used to purchase (ex. 2 bars of soap). The coupon clearly states that the products must come from different product lines (ex. body wash, shampoo/conditioner, bar soap, hair spray, deoderant, etc.). Can we still let these people know, politely, of course, that they may be using the coupon incorrectly?
I know we don't want to start any debates over how to use each coupon/interpret, but in some cases it is something a cashier might have missed when the fine print is clear on what the coupon can be used for.
There are probably a lot of people wondering where, I really don't get why people PM stuff like that, the whole idea of the forum is to educate people, so why answer 20 PMs asking the same thing?
Personally I think the forum would be a much nicer place if the brag section was closed for a while until things calm down
sorry if I made any rude remarks:( ,please accept my apologies.
We all have off days..but yes we are all adults and should get along or just not bother posting negatively. I am not innocent..I have off days...that's why I cheer myself up with having contests:)
I am kinda glad this is not my job, I wish you all good luck :) I have found nothing but happy ppl out here ( maybe I just see a silver lining) on all things :)
I know with my experience in one thread... ( I PIPED UP) and i am sorry :)
I love this site and would not try to make anyone feel less for something I am doing myself...which is trying to save some money :)
Being new to the site I'm glad to see admins and mods take behaviour seriously. That's a mark of a good site!
Awesome! I was a guest for a few months prior to officially joining April 2007. It was a great place to be. Then silly drama came into play and off I drifted because I just don't have the energy to deal with adult nonsense. Then it cleared out and was great again. Well it's back to adults who can't play nice and clear out time again. I have visited rarely for the last few months because of childish behavior and nastiness to each other. It's pretty bad when ADULTS need to be told and monitored on how to behave to each other. Then you wonder why children act as they do, they're shown it! Go get em' mod's and Boo!
Thanks so much!! Its seemed to be very negative lately. And i know i personally had an experience where I traded with someone and as soon as they didnt see the coupons immediately accused me of being a cheat and a liar...well i even offered to send replacements and a bonus for the hassle bc i felt bad, and was still told off....Thank you to the mod who helped me fix the issue and had to deal with an issue afterwards related to same person!
Thanks mods for doing this. I really appreciate the amount of work this takes but agree that we need to keep this site positive. I recently made a rant while in a bad mood which got some snide comments even though I said it was a rant. Too bad, because open debate that makes good points and remains civil is a good learning experience. Now I'm afraid to rant on this site.
I posted an innocent comment a few months ago and was completely taken aback when I was attacked by long time member. I have not expressed an opinion since and probably won’t.
