Maybe a members poll and submit result to Cindy

I have no axe to grind one way or the other, but I think Cindy has made her wishes clear and it should be left at that. Trying to force her hand is the wrong thing to do in my mind, after all there are plenty of other places you can advertise, if you wish.

Just my opinion. Landy.

And you are entitled to it and we should respect it just as you should realise that others have the right to disagree with you

I honestly don't think it was the intention to force Cindy's hand landy but surely it can't hurt for her to know that there are quite a number of members who consider this to be an advantage.

Untimately it is Cindy who will decide either to change her rules or let them stand and being the type of forum that we are the members will abide by that decision.

Good management of anything be it forumus or in business is down to gauging the wants, needs and wishes of the members or clients.

Hi Goinsoon & Ma

I do of course respect your right to disagree with my opinion, it would be a poor world if we all thought the same.

I have just observed, although I have only been a member here for a year or so, that this subject has come up several times and it appears that it is not a direction that Cindy wants to go in. I personally would leave it at that. But as already said just my opinion and I appreciate being able to voice it in a friendly forum.

If you look at Cindys reply on the poll thread you will see that is not the case, as she has said, she is aware of the situation and is giving it serious thought including how it may be implimented, by the way she spoke she did not indicate that she thought her hand was being forced at all.

And the idea of the poll was not at all to try and force her hand as you implied but rather get an idea of members feelings on the subject, no more,no less.

Goinsoon, What Cindy actually said, was that the issue was raised a few weeks ago and her answer is now, as it was then.  That it is something they are looking at introducing when she can decide how to make it work best without creating issues.

Hi everybody,
I think this issue was raised a few weeks ago. As I said back then, it is something we are looking at introducing. I understand this sort of section works well on other forums but I am still trying to decide how to make it work best on this site ... without creating possible issues Watch this space

And as for my statement, that in my mind, setting up a poll on the subject was wrong and trying to force Cindy's hand This is something that you have done while under the impression that  Cindy opposed the concept( corect or not) .   I stand by my original statement based on your first post shown below.

    Still just my opinion   Landy

!That is one of the failings of this forum, Cindy wont allow it. It is her forum and we just have to go along with it.

I do not agree but there you are, we have no choice
