I just re-joined emptyclosets after a long break and returned to what seemed to me to be too many rules and restrictions. I have recently spoke to former members who have said that they have left this site for this reason and i understand why. It has a great community and i love everyone here but i feel so restricted.It may be a risk to take away these rules especially for a forum site like this but its the internet what isnt a risk these days? I realize i may be banned for voicing my opinion but i felt it necessary.(&&&)thanx!
There is a thread here which explains why the security changes were added http://emptyclosets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19536
Whoa, we're not the Gestapo. :eek: Plenty of peeps have voiced their opinion on the restrictions (including staff members). Sadly without them EC can't remain online, so we just have to bear with them. If we thought there was any chance of reaching a compromise with the rules we would go for it, but sadly the only direction they can go in is becoming more restricting. Tis why we enforce them so seriously now to avoid it getting any worse.
for the explanation guys and i do understand much better as to why they have been placed on the site after reading about the "older member fiasco" and i guess i did over react about being banned haha...:icon_redf
Yeah, we realise that for people who weren't here at the time it seems rather restrictive and paranoid, which is why we have the explanation thread there and are always happy to answer questions and explain it.
