Forum behaviour and common sense?
- Status
uhm, hello? the same way they can see that there is a resident forum and off topic? they are clearly displayed under "forums" but in "threads/posts" section it simply says "private".
To be a member of the resident forum you send proof to Robert that you are a resident. How would you like people to send proof they are female? Robert and I did discuss the options. If men are not interested then don't read it. It is simple. It is just a place for women to discuss DR related issues without fear of sarcasm or unnecessary comments. So far so good. I cannot believe so many men are getting their knickers in a twist about it. Funnily enough the latest thread came from a man who messaged me with the NYTimes link about age differences and said maybe something women would like to discuss. Being an adult is really not that hard.

Many forms of ID list Gender, isn't the residence card required for Resident Forum so not like dr1 asking for personal info is something new.................
I must admit it is a little bit awkward... I also must admit I did a peek inside from time to time :nervous:
I even was tempted to give some likes yet I stopped my trigger finger out of fear of possible consequences...:laugh:
You can peek, you can learn and you can like! Just don't post! No consequences for peeking and liking. Just for posting. Can't wait to see baby Caribemike!

it all started giving women the right to vote....then they were served in bars....allowed to drive.....now they have their own forums....where will it stop
an old indian saying.....once there were no taxes,
no police and no crime,
women did all the work,
then the white man came along to improve things

I think what many are saying is what is so difficult about setting the Ladies Forum up like this...........
Residents (Beta)

Most of the threads are so boring for most people that in a whole day time there are often less than 20 postings ...such a small number in a country with more than 11 million people. My personal daily communications in whatsapp and in facebook are three or four times greater than all the daily postings in DR1 . So it strikes me as quite odd that some people want their own section and that this very small group of people can not write in a polite way to each other. Nothing wrong in taking an opposite view and expressing it strongly but in a non offensive way . the anonymous nature of the internet has led to words being written that should never be written .
Because doing it that way is a lot of extra work for Robert who is the only one able to toggle access on a per user basis to a restricted group (I believe).
There are a lot more women on DR1 who could potentially want access to "their" forum than Residents who are prepared to jump through the credential hoop to get access to the beta forum. I think one of the lessons learned from that experiment is the extra work is not justified nor wanted by the person that has to do it.
