right ... you get called on the carpet and now you don't want to get into a match with me. Typical.

So now that someone else started the thread everything is hunky dory. Why didn't you just start the darn thread yourself instead of creating an issue about it? No one, except you pointed the finger at me and made me feel as it it was my fault or lacked trying on everyone's behalf.

Oh but of course, now we'll hear how you are done with this thread, me and CB. Again, typical. Stir the pot and now you don't want to address it.

ETA: when I'm contacted by other members and Mod looking to have you removed, don't tell me to go find another chatboard. I came back with full intentions of avoiding certain people, unfortunitely when one is a Mod (you), it gets trickier.

I'm going back to Family Planning now. :)

[quote][b]BeeBear (6/26/2008)[/b][hr]Perhaps, once again, you need to stop taking things so personally. Maybe if the HEAD MOD who we were addressing/asking to take notice, did, you wouldn't take it so personally.

Fact of the matter is I'm not the only one who feels ignored.

Sorry that you find it so "easy" to do as you suggest. I also think it's pretty EASY for the Head Mod who does notthing around here, to pin the topic. That would be EASY.

I'd say I appreciate your replies, but once again your taking issues too close to heart. Your a Mod, when we have an issue, we're supposed to address YOU. You can't take every little complaint to heart like it's an attack on your character.

Sorry I sound upset but when I originally left CB, a part of the reason was your reactions to taking issues too personally. Enough already.

There, is that direct enough?[/quote]

In your earlier post, you wrote:

"There's really no point anymore.....We've already been advised to just start a thread (like any other) to sell stuff in. Basically one that will easily get lost.

This is the most we got out of this whole thread: "What more can I do other than suggest that you just start a For Sale Thread in Family Planning to sell your items and be happy with that."

I just don't see why it can't be pinned like the TTC and EDD threads were."

You specifically quoted what I had responded with in a previous post. How am I not to take that personally? Your post makes it look like I did nothing at all to assist you. Your words and your attitude and behaviours are condescending and rude.

While it may be easy for the Head mod to pin a topic, if she isn't getting the emails or pm's due to technical difficulties, what more can I do other than place a long distance call to her, speak with her directly, and tell her what it is the members want. I've done that.

Yes I'm the mod here and when you have an issue, you come to me to assist with finding a solution. But you need to learn some tact. Instead of writing your posts in a way that offends someone, find another way to express yourself a lot more nicely. Maybe then I wouldn't take it to heart or personally. However, your last post made it sound like I was doing nothing at all, when you could have stated something like "Mrs M has done all she can do. Either start the thread and it gets pinned when it gets pinned, or let's forget about it and use the for sale section which is primarily where anything that is to be bought or sold on CB needs to go."

If you want a for sale thread, create one and maintain it instead of pointing your finger at ppl and constantly complaining about things or ppl.

I can match your directness any time Beebear. If you didn't attack ppl's character perhaps we wouldn't feel attacked then. Perhaps if you were nicer in your posts, ppl would react differently. Perhaps a different talkboard for you is best then.

Mrs. M - I certainly don't blame you, and I think anyone who understands how hard you work within the confines of the mod role could possibly blame you for something like this! I think you make a good point - we could sustain a for sale post without it needing to be pinned if everyone was diligent about making sure it stayed on the front page by posting/bumping, etc. Pinning would be nice, but you can only do what you can do, and that's not your fault.

RE: Family Planning For Sale Section

amanda222 — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:05:30 GMT

Thanks for the update, MrsM. The effort you make on our behalf is appreciated. I agree that we should start a For Sale thread, which hopefully eventually can be pinned.

Now who wants to start? I would love to do some buying, but unfortunately I don't have much to sell... :D

I just don't see why it can't be pinned like the TTC and EDD threads were. :doze:[/quote]

I've read this post several times now, and I still feel like it's a cheap shot at me and for no reason. It's somewhat upsetting because I do the best I can.

Just so you all know, I just got off the phone (a LONG DISTANCE call for me by the way) with the head mod. I have explained what you all want. I have asked for pinning priviledges so that I can pin important topics such as the due date lists etc.

While I don't necessarily agree that a For Sale thread needs to be pinned, I might be agreeable to pinning it IF I ever get the priviledge of having the right to pin topics. If the thread is created and maintained, then how can it get lost? Someone posts an item for sale, and when it sells, they remove it. Then add a new post that your item is sold. That keeps it current. Or they add a post that says "bump" or whatever, and it keeps it current. I don't think that is difficult to do. If someone want to sell items, someone needs to create the thread and each participating member in that thread can maintain their own posts of whatever it is they are selling, has already been sold and what is left to sell. It's rather simple, to me.

I don't agree that slamming me directly or indirectly is going to help the situation. I've done everything I can. I've made the suggestion to create a For Sale Thread in here, and no one has created one. Why?? Is it now that unimportant?

According to the head mod, there are technical difficulties happening on all 4 sites CB runs plus their blogs. It's not just happening here. And because of these technical difficulties, she has not received any emails from anyone - if infact, emails were sent to her. Of this, I have no idea, other than my own emails or pm's which I know I've sent, however, since I have to clear my PM box every other week because it's full, my copies are now deleted.

Now, according to the head mod, she will speak with her supervisor and let me know if I can have pinning priviledges. I explained that I would love to be able to assist her in any way that I can so that she can concentrate on other issues that are more important. Hopefully, her supervisor will allow this and I can pin important topics.

I'm sorry if anyone feels like I've done nothing, but I don't know too many other mods or members who would make a long distance phone call and go to bat for everyone like I have. And today's call hasn't been the first call I've made either. I just don't post about it to "toot my own horn". I wait for things to happen because unfortunately, I have limited controls.

I appreciate everyone's patience with this. I'm hoping things will work out for us.

I see..........thanks for the reply.

It would be nice to see the Head Mod reply as I have PMed and received no reply. Certainly not something you can control MrsM. I just don't see the point of the Head Mod advising us to contact her if she has no intentions on follwoing through and replying in the first place. If she flat out said, don't bother contacting me as I have no intention on replying, perhaps it wouldn't be so annoying.

If this is true then perhaps the forum Mod, MrsM should be acting as a representative on our behalf and bringing it to the Head Mods attention to have it pinned.

MrsM managed to have a due date and TTC list pinned before so I don't see that this should be a problem.[/quote]

I have always acted as a rep on everyone's behalf and continue to do so. I have emailed the head mod. However, I've never received a reply. I communicated this in the old thread, and other threads that made mention of having a for sale thread in here. I've suggested that everyone contact the head mod themselves, in the hopes that she'd answer someone and provide us with a pinned For Sale topic. However, as you can see, that's not happened.

What more can I do other than suggest that you just start a For Sale Thread in Family Planning to sell your items and be happy with that. I have no issues with it and since it is my section I say go ahead and create a For Sale Thread.

As for pinned topics, the previos head mod Krystine was great at pinning topics for us, and I've specifically asked that the mods be allowed to pin topics however, it seems to have fallen on deaf ears since we don't have the ability to pin topics yet.

Not RECENTLY....they were pinned though before CB screwed over the boards and lost all our threads.

I think it's a great idea. Also, being that the Head Mod is useless and never comes around I would sooner request that the Moderator of this section pin this topic as a 'For Sale' section right here in FP. We'd have more luck getting a For Sale section pinned vs a completely new section for FP FS.
