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?
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.
The WBC team is in!!
SOMETIMES, I use the old saying...
"if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"
just being honest!
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.
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
@meme2138...Im actually offended you deleated that post all together. Thats like a kick in the teeth
LET's DO THIS LADIES....................
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 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
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 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
Lets stop bickering and be kind and polite to everyone. This isnt myspace its OUR PLACE@!!!!
love
luv you all
God bless
