We need a community leader here

They have one in the depression support groups who moderate their forum......why don't we have one? I have always been one up for moderation even back when Thadius used to come to the boards who now is silent or gone. All someone has to do is suggest a CL to DS and we will have ourselves a community leader.

Yes, I'm glad that post in the Depression forum was 'moderated'. Proves it was incredibly unfair I think.

What for princess? Barring your posts?

didn't a CL just close your post on the depression boards where you were slagging off the BP boards?

Barring offensive topics and such. CL's can do that I guess.

I respectfully disagree.

Yeah I saw that post too. Perhaps we should learn to censor ourselves instead. Myself included :p

I didn't slag off anyone.....I showed the suicidal post that didn't get any helpful responses.....and said that ella dismissed and and showed people how they really get treated here. We desperately need a CL here. It has to happen sooner or later. I don't even care if my post got slagged off anyway.

She didn't dismiss the thread. She was dismissing your opinion of the thread. That was particularly hurtful, posting like that and making another member the subject of a post.
I have been suicidal. I have been treated with respect and utmost sensitivity here. It has its problems like everywhere else, but I've been saved from harming myself from speaking to people here.
Don't try to turn people against Ella, and certainly don't try to turn people agaisnt the BP forum - that means that people will stay away and never even ask for help there. How many people will THAT harm?

With repect Princess, you've been calling us all nutcases who don't care to help one another.
I for one think that's pretty hideous. I might be a nutcase - but I'm certainly not going to dismiss a suicidal member here.
If there's one person who wouldn't benefit from a CL, I'm afraid it would be you.

I am all for having a CL for our group. Who do I contact to make the suggestion to DS that I would like a Community Leader on the BP group?

PaulDS. I think Shelly4 would make a great community leader. All Hail Shelly4 anyone else agree??

I think it would be a great idea...but i dont think you'd like it at all once it came in BpPrincess.

Genuinely.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
