Here's the thing: The MODs have addressed this. And people have
you can't do this/that/the other thing because they are a new member/a premie ect. They disrespect the MODs. If another member tries to help direct or suggest there's
you're not a MOD response.
Maybe babysteps are needed, but why is it that this is the only thread/case/topic that's needed it's own subforum in the history of MDS? That's the issue people have. I do think that the subforum needs to go away when the trial ends, because having Jodiland in a nice secure place is a bit much.
You know what helped make new users in the Morgan thread get out there? We were encouraged, we were sent links to threads to get in and break the ice. Lady Macbeth jumped in and posted photos of her pets. There are 'safe' threads out there to jump into, test the waters, and get a good feel for people. The general chit-chat thread is
also a great thread because it's a place to chat about anything. Maybe instead of encouraging us 'outsiders' to post links you could do it, as someone from the thread. You could suggest and link to the other threads. You've gotten some folks out and chit-chatting, now get them out onto the main board.
