Too Much Noise on the Blog?
Dear GAPA person,
We are writing to you after a period of frustration with our fellow, usually lovely, MBers. We feel that it may be a time to instate a new rule. We have been also feeling rather nostalgic for the old days. We feel that the old days of conversation and getting to know each other have been lost amidst people posting eight times in a row with nothing to say. People seem to view the MB as a place to burn some time, not a place to converse with other Musers. We feel that it is important that the MB continue to be a place to spend time with other smart, intelligent, thinking individuals and not a place to go for time wasting inane conversation. We think that if MBers would realize they need to have something to say when they post, the MB would make a marked improvement. We would be conversing, discussing and enjoying ourselves. If you look back on the old threads, you see MBers enjoying themselves in true conversation just as if they were talking in real life.
Randomness is good, but it must be balanced with conversations with a purpose. You can have randomness, and still have order; it is the pointless comments we have a problem with. There is a difference between a random comment and a pointless comment. Too many of us have forgotten this difference, forgotten how to converse “Does anyone else hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers?” is a random comment. “OHMYGAH FIRST POST!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEE!!!!!” is a pointless comment. We feel that too many Muse bloggers have forgotten what the difference is. Pointless comments shouldn’t be posted.
We feel that a rule or suggestion banning pointless posting would make the MB much more enjoyable, for newbies and veterans alike. We would appreciate it if you posted this on it’s own thread in the Museblog so that other Musers can add their thoughts.
Sincerely,
MontgomeryGurl and elassë~adael
