1. I think people are disappointed and they leave.
2. Look at other social media sites. There the site is run by that company and people just use the site. Users don't build it or update it to keep it relevant.
3. Here the site is run by people for nothing in return. So basically free work gets done. And when the same people bring in issues and is not addressed, then they leave. The emotional attachment is more and also the disappointment thereafter.
4....
more... I am unable to think of another site where the users update the info for the site. That too free.
5. Take a look at this post of Moderator
/blog/post/3535285He says "Given the above CLEAR statement, it is requested of our Celebrity/Powerful members to consider it carefully. If you believe that helping many people with their questions/problems, posting many Useful blogs, being a popular member grants you immunity against violation of our Forum Guidelines, then you MUST STOP your participation immediately and self-QUIT the site."
.
So Moderator basically says - you may have helped update info on the site and helped others. But you question FM, then you will be kicked out with SW and you can get lost for all I care.
- Now I too know some members throw their weight around about the past. But then one should consider the work they did and lend them a 'sympathetic ear'.
- Yes FM may be right or wrong, but those old members / members who update info on the site need to be given a hearing. After all, this site was built / is being updated by members.
To reiterate, people here are not mere users like other social media sites but they are the ones running this site for free.
- I typed this after seeing one old TLM is under SW for a long time and he used to update a lot of TTs.
