hey everyone has anyone noticed a massive influx of newbies to the site recently? loli know my report section has! hahah
look i know it can be irritating, my advice that i worked really hard on www.minti.com/parenting-advice/9562/DEALING-WITH-THE-DEADBEAT/ got pushed off the activity page in less than 24 hours by a whole heap of advices that are less than a line long or not much more.
but what to do hey? i think remembering that we were all newbies once upon a time helps and that i know i for one wrote sum pretty crappy advice thinking i was being incredibly helpful lol
i think if i was reported i woulve been gutted and probably left the site for good before i even got to know my way around and we dont want that for newbies who once they get used to minti are probably going to be a great contribution to the site.
so im thinkin a better way than reporting them and emailing them after reporting would be maybe to email them and offer the hand of friendship, send a link to a group that applys to their advice or point out that its not really eligable to be advice set the way it is and offer some pointers? if its still there in a couple of days report it then knowing you have given them the chance to get to know all of us mintiers a lil better and they will at least know whats going on and not be so upset?
i know the system is set up to sometimes make it easier to just report and be done with it and i totally understand the reasons for ppl reporting the ones that have im just trying to come up with a solution to all this reporting hopefully that will make minti a richer better place to be for newbies that are trying to help and contribute but may not know how?
