Over my long years of being involved in the transformation community and dozens upon dozens of conversations I've had with people about this place... well, overall, we have a pretty poor reputation out there for being total jackasses.
1) Too much is made of people posting old content. We seem to be known for actively discouraging people to post something out of fear that it is old content.
2) Too much non-constructive criticism. Some people I know who are very good writers and artists...won't post here because of that fact. They don't feel any good will come of it.
To that end, I'm going to try to be doing something about our poor reputation.
Here's what I'll be looking at:
1) Criticism is fine. Being a total ass about other people's hard work is not.
2) Any harsh condemnation of people posting old content will no longer be tolerated.
At the moment, that's all.
I'm pretty open to hearing suggestions from all of you and...well, I got another idea for a program to help better our reputation....but that's another thread
