Dual Standards On Chatterbank?
22 Answers
I smelt a proverbial rat when I saw the post purporting to be from Emmie's brother this morning. When I intimated that I thought the whole scenario was improbable, my response was deleted. Now it appears that dozens of people have been duped by the lunatic who started the whole thing off.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think it is an indication that people On this site are basically decent people for whom such duplicity is so alien it wouldn't cross their minds. After the Craft episode I think people were justified in at least voicing suspicion it just got out of hand. Maybe we do need delayed posting for new posters where their posts have to be checked by a mod before appearing. Every other site I use has this system. It should have been necessary to provide proof. It's easy to say that in hindsight.
This does not show the site owners in a good light.
There are responsibilities that go with running a public forum, and they have been shown to be inadequate. They have let us down. The fact that a warped individual has duped us is bad enough, but the fact that the site has been abandoned by those who should be policing it is the real shame. It has been left to concerned members to tidy up the mess and do their best to minimise the distress caused. And the owners/Eds are still conspicuous by their absence.
Sadly it has been plain for a long time that the place is badly run. The trust of those of us who have been members here for a long time has been broken.
I hope lessons will be learned, and that we will not be put in this position again. Otherwise it might just be better to just turn the site off and not bother.

They need to decide.
Anyone in business who has premises or a site are obliged to run it properly and not leave it to be like the wild west. As I said, they have responsibilities.
Everyone is entitled to an holiday, but measures should be taken to ensure that there is cover and overseeing by a nominated person while they are away.
