Here's a novel idea

How about both groups only post in the threads they call home, and stop sniping at others?

Seriously, anyone wonder why there's so few posters these days?

CS is an open forum

Seriously? It's about a sense of entitlement then?

I'm fairly new to posting here but I think I know why there would be so few posters.

Ideas and opinions aren't tolerated and thats not right. People should be able to discuss topics without fear of defamation. (so long as they aren't being hateful or personally attacking anyone)

It seems there are some highly opinionated people who post here. I think they have the right to be heard.

I agree with secondhand. Also, there are judgemental people who think they can make rules for others.

I don't believe that that's why Ebay has open forums for all members

and private groups for those who want to discuss things privately ?

private groups are not entirely private. The mods are still able to view them.

I dont agree with going to long running thread with the sole intention of causing **bleep**

I also dont agree with people on long running threads telling other people they can only post under certain conditions and yes Ive seen it before. If a post is in the spirit of the thread who cares who joins in

I was meaning if people want to limit which ebay members/posters post with them...the private groups are there for that purpose.

It's about time imo CS was permitted by all to be Community Spirit ...and the groups of old which were apparently part of boards which no longer exist let go or kept to private groups provided by ebay.

I am not in a group on these boards.I post on the boards as an individual ebay member and will do so where I wish to

That includes the RT thread.

That would be a novel idea.

Sorry Nev, Your point was very open.

When you mention the concept of groups and home turf on CS perhaps you could explain ?

Home turf for me is the whole board.That's the Community Spirit ...it values each of us as individuals where as you seem to be putting people in groups and suggesting posters stay on certain threads????

I've had a look ...if the purpose of this thread was to bring attention to posters posting on a thread you feel they shouldn't please give more information but imo that concept is out of place here.

..though I'm guessing this could be in relation to posters who post on the RT thread posting on the Good Morning thread? Do you consider Both of these CS threads to be groups/home turfs ? Is that right ?

The posts look in line with the thread and what others post imo .Maybe things are more annoying when the group mentally is used? It annoys me to be considered a 'group' rather than a poster .

The ignore featute may be a good thing for some ?

though some wouldn't use it I don't think as it would defeat their purpose .
