Subject: Thank You Author: moderator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:38:50 10/27/09 Tue I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to those of you who have contributed to this board thus far. I've seen the negative input on the pink and purple boards, and I simply do not understand. As outlined, this forum is meant for ladies to express their honest opinions in a tactful way. If you have had a bad experience, yes, we want to hear about it, so that we may work to improve and assure that it does not happen again, but there is no need to mention names of contestants or systems in order to get your points across. At the same time, if you have compliments to make about any individual, be it competitor, director, judge, system, or anything else in the pageant community please feel free to mention them. Honestly, my goal is to promote open communication, but not to put down others. I hope that those of you who are here will continue to pass on the information about the potential of this forum. Again, thank you for your support. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I am glad this voy is here. Very refreshing,I hope this will become a board like the elite board, the moderator will not allow bashing. Only positive comments are allowed. I think people are allowed their opinions I just think they can be expressed in a constructive, caring manner. Glad to see this here and glad to be a part. (NT) Director 13:32:41 10/27/09 Tue Me too! I am excited about this board. Even though there is a negative nelly posting on other boards to stay away? (I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY ARE BEING SO HYPOCRITICAL) But I am looking forward to new, refreshing talk about PAGEANTS! (NT) No name 06:15:52 10/28/09 Wed So, will posts advising contestants of unethical directors in a pageant system be taken down like they are on other boards? Not bashing but stating truth in experience?hoping this is a place to share good AND bad experiences without the posts being removed (NT) Hopeful 18:31:28 10/28/09 Wed as long as it's constructive criticism and not attacking, I'm all for it, but somehow it usually gets truly ugly and lowball, and that's not necessary. We've all bad directors, bad experiences and so on, but we never seem to be able to communicate it calmly and without some nastiness. Let's try and see. (NT) -- No name, 00:38:44 10/29/09 Thu I understand your concerns, and I am taking them under advisement. If there are honest, true, first hands comments that need to be made about systems, I understand that need. However, a bad experience at a pageant does not necessarily mean that there is a "bad" director involved. Please don't forget that ALL of these systems are only possible with a team to support them. Choose your words wisely and with the integrity that each queen should hold so dear. (NT) -- moderator, 07:12:54 10/30/09 Fri
