Question #2
Are you likely to stop posting if we begin announcing BFPs in the check-in?
While the majority seem to be ok with BFP posts in the check-in based on past conversations, I think this is an important question to ask in an anonymous setting. I don't believe that anyone actually said that they would stop posting, but it was brought up that if anyone of us were uncomfortable with seeing BFPs then we should reconsider allowing them. It is so important to protect the members of our community who need our support and we need to remember that we are first and foremost a loss board. If there is a risk of losing members of our community, we need to seriously consider how our decision may affect the community moving forward.
I personally don't think that the BFP vote (question #1) should be an automatic majority-rules type of vote. If this question shows that we have women who would stop posting, we need to at the very least open up a discussion of how to proceed.
