Hi
As we all know a lot of the new features in Minti have a lot of users upset to the point where a lot are even thinking of leaving because of them and the follow on.
I want to know how many grievances besides the ones i am about to list there are.
If you are not happy add your comment to this thread and then the admin staff can see what we would like changed
I am not talking about arguments between people or nothing that is not what this is about
What I am talking about is having things possibly removed that are causeing these grievances
Mine are
Shouldn't the photo framer be optional for anyone who wants it.....I often put pics in my friends lounges not meant for everyone to see. I do not wish for some of my photos and pics to be seen by everyone. Why should I have to make piccys private just so the world don't see them The system was fine before
The voting on peoples private photos is a pretty personal thing Why should a baby score higher than a car. It is very upsetting and hurtful to have a one thumb on your gorgeous child when the car receives 2 thumbs....Why is this necessary. It is upsetting a lot of people
Why is there a need to vote on peoples comments that they reply with This is becoming a out and out attack on each member by some people whether it be in or out of Minti rather than a fun thing.
As for the rankings why is one parent considered better than another parent....We all have valuable stuff to contribute and should not be ranked by what we do. It is causing a lot of discent among members. Some of us have the time and energy to sit here and write articles on a regular basis or take them from other places where we have already published them. Others have other commitments and cannot spend a lot of time on Minti. Why isn't there a fairer way of ranking members like alphabetical or something rather than 1,2,3. The person who works and raises their family is disadvantaged the way the ratings stand. A SAHM or SAHD naturaly has more time......and can move up the rankings way faster.
We all know anon all over the activity page is annoying and yes i know it is all being fixed...thank you
Minti is a fantastic site and I know the owners and admin do a fantastic job and the system may have worked in the beginning when Minti was small but it is growing.......and growing each day.
New people do not want to come on and see all the fighting and arguing that is Minti lately
We are losing a lot of valued members at a very fast rate.
More will be going shortly including myself if some changes are not made somehow
These are just my thoughts and what i have gleaned from the people i talk to
Hey B.W.K., its good you can discuss what you feel thats what this site is for, but give the guys and gals a go Clay you can see for yourself is trying to help and they are trying to do the best they can to make minti a better site for all its just some things take priority over others. Please don't leave we would miss you and i for one would be very sad if you left you have given so much to this site, please hang in there and talk with Clay, Matt and Rachelle and maybe help them to make this site a better place for everyone.
Hi
It is ok I have already spoke to Clay and what I did...basically it is a sort of complaints list but not just from me. It is a combination of what people are saying they are not happy with.
Luv Deb
Deb, thanks for compiling a list. I'm sure you didn't mean to do any harm. :)
There is a group that deals with the problems (or happy times) of using Minti, which is the User Testing Issues group. All the issues are read and recorded to be dealt with in this group.
I dont mind the voting and rating bit at all. But I liked to go and check out my comments and see what people wrote after me now if I want to do it I have to look for the article my self. it was better when it was all under comments (do you know what I mean) other things are fine it all just takes time to learn but hey I am 26 I can manage that much.
No thats not the same thing, what we have is recent activity and a list of the last few, what I mean is the way it used to be a list of all your comments.
i agree with you with most of what you are saying, as we are meant to be here to support each other, not having a slinging match over whose right and whose wrong, as we all have diffrent views on life....I defiently dont agree voting on the photos as it can be upsetting to see that someone puts thumbs down on your children....I also think that if someone has a issue with someone to take it up with them not in the Q/A area or in the comment section....
Can't really comment on the other things you mentioned,But for the photos, I don't put any photos on here if I don't want anyone to see them.. And if I do then I just msn those that I am willing to show my personal ones too...
But I think they are looking to change that anyway..
As for the voting on peoples comments... It is not voting on who is the better parent. It is more on how people see the responce.. They either like it or they don't..
Seriously the voting thing.. Don't take it personally...
Hi
Its ok i don't it is just a combination of things a lot of members have been talking about. I have just put it out there thats all...Don't shoot the messenger lol
hi, I have been noticing that there is no action going on like I had people join my groups and now no one is even passing by, also I have been getting 0 visits to my blogs, I was getting people passing by before. Have you noticed this to. Well I hope this all gets worked out because I love minti, I dont go to any other group. Thanks for standing up for us.
Yes, I have noticed this too & thought it was just because noone liked me anymore! ;(
I also agree with the photo thing. I had removed all of my personal photos because I don't feel safe showing them to the world anymore, now all of a sudden they are all back on there. I had to remove them all again one by one.
I have always believed, If it ain't broke - Don't fix it. And Minti wasn't broken before, now I feel it is. I don't think everyone should be able to see everyone elses pictures.
