*POLL* Sub-board for June 15

[Widget123]

@jimbobcooter or budders could you pin this?

ETA: To indicate to mobile users that this is a poll.

Just a heads up, even if it's password protected and private, if pics/videos are posted via tapa talk they are visible (through vimeo and other search functions). I am on a private board for J13 and wwe found this out recently.

Even with a password protected sub-board what is to stop another regular who has access from freaking out, GBCTCF-ing, and then giving out the password or taking other people's pictures? Or even just stop members from sharing the password with others innocently and having it get out?

[erbear]

Valid point, @jimbobcooter. Demanda would have had access as a reg.

I do get that it would limit things from the general public. It's just not a fail proof guarantee.

Limitig access from some (the general public) is better than limiting the access from none, IMO. I think i would have been able to figure out if a reg is really a 50 year old man by now, for example.

Do you know if there is a way to change the password on a sub-board every so often? Then we could always change it if a reg had a meltdown.

That's what I was wondering too.  I don't know how to set them up.  That's just an admin function.

You'd think that...but after 2 years on a different board we had someone that was regular and contributed often that ended up doing some really sketchy stuff...Needless to say she received an IP ban from both TD and TCF (i believe) bc of her actions. (And it was a she not a 50 year old dude, but it goes to show you really can't trust anyone on the Internet)

Sorry it just dawned on me this morning that I probably should have left it open through Monday.  I posted it on Saturday morning.  I guess the way I'm feeling with the results as they stand now, I am debating whether it would be meaningful to create a sub-board at this stage in the game if only about 16 people would be interested in participating in it.  But this board is notorious for people not voting in polls and you are right I should have set it to leave it open longer.

No need to apologize, I usually try and get online at least once over the weekend, we just had a really busy weekend and I didn't get a chance to.

Thank you for re-opening it!!

For those of us who mostly play via mobile app, we don't know it's poll unless stated in the title. When given that heads up I'll switch to web view to vote but otherwise I assume, like with this thread, that it's just a normal thread. That could be a large reason for lack of participation.

+1 I had no idea this was a poll

Thanks for reminding me that I could switch to web view and vote.

As for the sub board, this is the Internet and I assume anything I post or pic share can and will be used against me. I'm not keen on photo sharing on sites like the Bump where they are highly likely to use my photos for their own professional use, but will probably share a few here of Texas Ranger after he arrives.

My phone is old and I'm never at a computer so I won't be able to post pictures either way, though not for privacy concerns. My BMB for DS moved over to Facebook after the babies were born and that was great, much easier to use. There was drama at certain points but it has long since settled down and is very helpful.

I meant to comment that the reason why I suggested we wait until AFTER everyone delivers because there will be some ladies that probably stop posting all together. This will allow us to "weed out" the ones that dont plan on being active anymore. Not to say that they are bad or would do anything with the pictures but if they dont want to be active there is no need for them to the password to the group.

Hmmm that is a good point, I hadn't thought of that, but I lurked enough around the dump that I know how true that is.  I guess my main reason for thinking we should consider doing it sooner was that when people have their babies they may feel more comfortable posting a first pic of baby in a more restricted setting.   But he majority still has no interest in posting pics of baby here at all, but that may change for at least a few after the baby is born and the dust has settled.  It may be a good idea to give it some more time, at least for now.

I think maybe for now, anyone who wants to post pictures can use the "post and then delete after a few days" method.  After we have a well established group of ladies post-delivery, maybe we can revisit the idea or even do a private Facebook page for those interested.

That sounds like a good plan.

Do you want to leave this pinned for a few more days for more input?

Yeah, maybe another day or two in case someone else has any valid points one way or another and then you can unpin.  Thanks

I read this post when it was originally posted and didn't realize it was a poll because I was mobile. I guess I missed out on voting
