I'm a bit braver now and thought time I took a look at other sites so
The last couple of weeks I have looked at several other forums but I won't name them, many of them are difficult to navigate, but I found one that seemed quite easy and open,
I followed a couple of threads that were posted and posted a couple of replies it was very active, but there were some very arrogant opinionated posters on that made me very uncomfortable.
When people started new threads they either rubbished the question or belittled the poster,
One lady it was her first visit after about an hour of being told what to do posted that she had come for help and now felt worse and was leaving......
I thought get me back to psoriasis club where the atmosphere is friendly and I've never seen any cruel postings.
So thanks again Fred for keeping the members here safe from cyber bullying and for policing the site so well.
I know this site is small compared to some but the information on here is better and easier to access than I have found elsewhere a big thumbs up
You're welcome Jim, and thanks for the feedback. I know your words will ring true for a few of our members who have had a similar experience on some other sites, myself included. Yes we are small in numbers but the numbers you see on some websites don't really say much. Numbers are easy to change and here at Psoriasis Club I remove accounts that are no longer active, besides I would rather have a small bunch of friendly people around me than a large bunch of people trying to peddle their goods, advertise, promote, recruit, or even be down right nasty to others.
As for policing, I prefer to call it "Showing the unwanted the door with a boot up the bum"
