Forums are all the go.
New peoples come along complaining that they are too scared to post because well they are too scared to post.
Rules get put in place to make it easier for those scared to post to post.
Unfortunately, those same rules stifle the regular posters who are now too scared to post for fear of the nannies or just give up and don't give a f--- anymore because they don't want to read about everybody giving hugs because they managed to put their harness on unassisted.
The regular heart of the forum is now gone and the ones who were too scared to post and promised to join in if they got their spoilt brat ways still don't post because well, they are too scared to post.
Forum dies.
On face book one forum I am a member of kicked a bunch of very good people out for calling out incompetent fools.
A bunch of us then made another page mirroring this one but with no rules apart from call out bullshitters and either having been banned by the other group or at least have nearly been banned a prerequisite.
Funny thing is that our no rules platform is thriving and the original nanny group is dead.
And even more telling is the wild, wild west forum of ours is the most respectful place to be on all of facebook.
No hidden agendas, no carefully hidden personal attacks, just call a spade a spade and if you post something wrong you will be called on it.
Now newer members are stumbling in and comment that they had heard that this group harbours the scourges of the internet yet found the group very accepting and that they know there is a huge resource of experience they can draw on.
