To Lurk or not to Lurk???
When I first staring couponing I was very shy and didn’t want anyone knowing what my part time hobby was, which was couponing. I was a lurker for years and finally got the guts to become a member back in early of 2011. I was so excited about sharing my deals and loading pictures on SC to share with everyone! Overall the response was extremely positive and encouraging and I met a lot of new friends. ~Happy Days~
Things have changed. I’ve held back on sharing so many deals lately because there are SO many negative comments being said by ‘certain members’ especially in the bragging section! Nobody wants to share their brags anymore in the fear of the backlash or the massive tsunami that will bring them down to the ground. This not just my own perspective on how things have been running in here lately but an overall consensuses of many SC members I have personally spoken to face to face lately with.
SC should be a place where new friends are found nationwide. Friends that share about saving money. Friends that talk openly about deals so others can benefit from them, without ridicule. Something just has to be done about all of these negative posts especially in the bragging forum as this is becoming a major problem. I may just turn into a lurker again myself, if things don't change soon ...
