WBC PLEDGE

Ok ladies, We've all seen the many post about the lack of commenting on the site and like most of you I couldn't agree more.

I myself had my feelings hurt when I recieved more comments than ever on a post where nearly all the brides were basically telling me something didn't work and looked bad yet post about my dress or something I've made lack.

I have made it a point to comment on every blog I read, I feel like if I have time to sit down and read the post then I can leave a few words even if I'm telling the bride "sry can't help but good luck!" ect.

If we make this pledge I think all of us will be surprised at the increase of comments we will see!

I know that 9 times out of 10 if someone comments on my blog I'll go to their to see what they are posting and if I can be of any help.


So I MEME2138 pledge that I will comment on every blog I read!

WILL YOU?

im sorry u had your feelings hurt on that last post you had!.... i think ppl were doing what you asked....when u ask for peoples honest opinion (with capital letters) and to vote and then get offended when u hear the answer...it leaves it confusing and then its like we have to tip toe around answering your questions in the future cuz who knows what will offend you next. Im not sure if this is what you meant by that so sorry if i misunderstood.

To answer your question: I always post on comments I have genuine advice or comments on..... If i dont like something or dont agree then sometimes i dont comment at all....like... if you dont have something good to say then dont say it at all.  Also, I might click on a post then realize i have nothing to really say about it...or im in a rush. Ive been on here for more then a year and have seen this exact issue come up more than a handfull of times. I dont think people on here have the obligation to answer questions. I feel differently if they are posting posts and not answering others...but if they just want to snoop and dont ask for anything in return...then go ahead! Therefore i cant take the pledge but i admire your effort you will put into the WBC community and appreciate the thought. I always try to answer as many as I can because i appreciate others to do the same...but its not realistic to do it for EVERY post i read haha. This answer was not meant to offend anyone but its just the way i see it lol.

I agree, although I comment on majority of questions I don't comment on EVERY post I read.

SOMETIMES, I use the old saying...
"if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"
just being honest!

I am sorry but I have to agree with a few of the other ladies. There have been times that I have left a comment with an honest response and the person gets pissed off and SCREAMS back in a reply to my comment...or they delete it...or they remove the entire post. I use to not hold anything back in my comments.

Now that I have seen that happen....I have stopped commenting my opinions as much. Why should we comment honestly anymore if ppl will just delete the comment of get pissed off and be ugly in return.

I think sometimes when we don't comment we don't want to tell someone they look like a whale in that dress...or that color is awful or their invites look like an 8 yr old did them. We are trying to be nice by not saying anything. Would ppl rather be honest and get their feelings hurt or would they just rather us not comment on things we don't really like?

I do comment on some stuff that I am interested in. I tell ppl how great their dress is when I like it. I comment on cool DIY projects and I comment on posts where ppl ask for advice on where to buy things. Things that I feel I can be helpful.

I pledge that I will comment!

BUT ...I must agree with some of the other brides.

Do not put HONEST OPINION...if you can't take what the ladies are going to say.  Cause when I see "honest opinion"  I give my , blunt, 100% honest opion.  Just don't take offense to it...it's just an opinion...you REALLY don't have to listen to what we say...we're just voting..He, he!!

now bring on the pledges!!..LOL

DENEANRAE,

You totally do not get what I am saying. I didnt get upset that you or other girls didn't like my shrug It did however hurt that I got more comments telling me how bad it sucked rather than good comment on something else. Alot of ppl say Well It didnt want to post because it had already been said.

As for deleting my post ...well it was my post and I deleted it because the general census was that nobody like it and I'm sorry I didnt want to leave a pic of of me wearing it? So how on earth you are offended by me taking a post down on my on blog, I do not understand.

When I first started WBC I absolutley loved this site. WE had some of the best girls around and now it seems like in order for someone to get comments on anything it has to be bad. Like this post, it was meant to bring us together to uplift us for those that "could and wanted to make a pledge to other memberrs to do so. Not a requirment and now the post turns into another debate.

I'm completley dumbfounded right now

I also wanted to add that I had nothing but  completley good intentions when posting this. I "pledged" because "I" felt "I" could and while I encouraged other girls to do it, I in noway mean to offend those that couldn't or whatever the case may be.

ONE MORE THING AND I'LL STOP COMMENTING ON BLOG LOL

I just not saw "alwaysandforever's post...

I get where you are comming from kinda, I just can honestly say I've never saw a post where I couldn't find something POSITIVE to comment on. Everyone's taste is different ,and I see things all the time that I don't LOVE for myself but I can always appreciate the hard work they put into something, or congratulate them for finishing , or congratulate them for finding the dress of their dreams.

I could never imagine telling a bride she looks like a whale in her dress? I hope you were just  exaggerating..yikes!

but yes I do agree in most cases if a person cannot find anything good or constructive to say then your right they shouldn't say it ...Ive just not had that happend to me yet....too much optimism here I guess lol

"Wow this is all craziness! It is the person choice if they post a comment or not.I'm one of the women that since i joined 2 months ago that out of several post only recieved maybe 50 comments in total.@ first i was offended,because i'm one of the very few in here that's gay.So i thought it was that.But ladies reassured me that i'm one of the wbc family.I look @ this way .there is several reasons why they dont post comments.And again it's there choice.And the ladies that do are being totally onest.As with me i say it as i feel! And if the person gets hurt well i'm sorry,then dont ask!!! HONESTY IS THE BEST MEDICINE.After all you got tons of hormones running thru here lol.And we are all women.I say just relax and take it all in stride! We are here to celebrate our upcomeing big event,not to chicken peck.Come on enjoy and embrace each other for the way they are.Luv all you wbc brides.:)

Of course I was exagerating about the dress thing. I would never use hurtful words or make fun of someones weight. I am struggling with my own weight.

Again I will comment on things that interest me. Or when ppl ask where to buy something that I know where to get. Or if ppl are having issues with family things I wish them well.

Honestly we need to just move on and let this go.

I agree...this is getting blown way out of proportion. I told you meme that I was sorry if i took it the wrong way and that thats just what i took from the post. I comented on it and i read what everyone said...not one person said anything inappropriate and many offered you tips and advice for alternatives so im not sure why your all up in a fuss over that. Anyways...lets leave it at that.... I agree with rainbowdream... I think we lose focus of why we are on here. WBC is not a popularity contest or a version of high school ...trying to get the most viewers or comments....so who cares how many ppl comment that view. We just gotta love one another haha

deneanrae sweetie its clear that you didnt read all of the post that was left on my blog because I had a user state "that it looked ugly and trashy"

I will agree with you to leave this be because obviously we keep going around the actual issue and its getting turned into something that it was not intended toward and luckily most everyone sees what I did mean by this post.

other than that we'll just agree to disagree and continue to plan our weddings!

have a wonderful week :D

I am not on this site 24-7 but I try to comment on as many post as possible. And if I dont have anything nice to say... I might leave a comment or I might just leave a short and sweet comment. I totally agree... we are not here to be made fun of or so people can put us down... we are all on here for support. I am here because I have no family near me... and I consider you girls my family. I have posted things and didnt get any comments... I am not mad but the reason we are all hear is to help eachother out. So if you found a great resource or a vendor or whatever... please share. We are hustling for new ideas everyday.

Lets stop bickering and be kind and polite to everyone. This isnt myspace its OUR PLACE@!!!!
love
luv you all
God bless
