Fair Trade

[Kayleigh McMillan]

Yes sadly when I asked KC via a ticket about the fact that thread was deleted out of escalation and might have needed some more active moderation instead they felt we solved it well together.
So I'm not sure if this forum is a safe place for people which are more fragile or do not have the nerves to stand up for their opinion in this atmosphere and I think this are a lot of people because I heard a lot of silent support of people who just didn't dare to share their honest opinion anymore.
Because as you say there were definitely constructive parts in this thread from both "sides" and I regret, if I let go of all the emotions, it was even possible to delete it KC even claimed it is not possible to place it back.
So they have no backup server for such either.
I wish the forum reflected a little more the atmosphere of the group chat.
From Dimpz's point of view I understand she did delete it she is only human that is why moderators are so important to avoid such escalation and to protect community efforts such as this thread was but also the more shy people who might have a wonderful vision to share.
But I have seen from many people very constructive posts on both ends of the fence and in between.
Some people might have pushed it to an other level and this part should in my opinion be more moderated over letting it escalate and being intimidating to the point Dimpz saw no other way than to delete the thread at that moment because people were so upset and sad.
But also moderated to make sure people will feel safe to share their opinion knowing there are certain ethics which can't be crossed and escalations as such would be avoided I know a lot of people fear to speak up I hear this over and over again in world.
What I hoped was that I would learn some from the people who shouted their opinion more.
Maybe after some nights of sleep I could see their points better.
It was definitely so people got emotionally effected.
This makes the overall thread not bad but the forum technically and the moderation of the forum.
I think such introduction as the auctioneer did was doomed to not be received well in first instance and maybe even in later instance.
The auctioneer herself didn't speak about her new rules in the thread, maybe she was scared too, I felt since I was the one who brought it up as something I liked I was responsible to shine a little light on her point of view but that was certainly not fun to do to be honest and definitely not entertaining I hope.
I regret we can't read it back but also future KittyCatS lovers can't.
I think it was very relevant.

And as for my opinion about this forum: it is the wild west and the survival of the fittest and I for one will not hesitate to stand my opinion no matter what happens or how the impact is I'm just too stubborn for that.
