Absolutely not. FREEDOM!!!!!!!
-
totally agreed.
-
good luck.... i wish you well on this
-
I kinda like your idea, but what about the Congratulating Answerbaggers? I see where you are going, but I just wanted to bring this up as well too.
-
I can agree with that! :-) VGQ+++ -Buddy
-
same to you sweetcakes. (((hugs))) right back at 'cha!
-
Fair enough, sorry... :-)
-
i think it's a bad idea to tell people what kind of questions or answers or comments they should offer. the whole point of the site is in finding out differing opinions about everything including the kind of questions they think are valid. if you don't want to ask questions about other users, then don't. but don't try to tell others what to do.
-
I'll agree to it, though if so I wish it to be known that all questions about me have my prior approval as of now :) I don't believe in limiting freedom of speech.
-
Ive never done it, but yeah, ok. :)
-
Well, I don't post questions about users unless they say it is ok. That is the best I can do. I do think it's a good idea to ask first. It's the polite thing to do.
-
I guess. I kind of enjoy it when that user is me though. It never bothers me...
-
believe me I have learned my lesson and will never do that agaain with the exception maybe of a congratulatory question when a friend gets a new badge or something like that. Otherwise no more questions about someone witholut their permission.
-
I love that idea! Some people are attention shy and to ask first should be the first step!!
-
Several times questions were asked by others that involved me and I had no prior knowledge nor choice in approving their doing so. I believe they did it out of kindness and friendship and therefore I was not offended. This will remove any ability to "gift" someone with a surprise question, which , I guess, is o.k. I have always obtained permission from those whose names I have used when asking questions..but if I hadn't, I would feel very bad if they misunderstood my intent and were upset with me. Have people really complained about this..are there really people out there upset by their friends wanting to honor them for something?
-
I have never asked a question involving someone else on this site, but if I were going to it would only be proper respect to ask their permission.
-
although I never have and I do not see any reason to change. I can agree to that. I can understand your point and agree with you.
-
I did it once as a congrat, but sure. I can stop. It was a year ago and haven't done it since. Sorry if someone offended you. I haven't seen any mean q's about people, if I did, I'd flag it and berrate the person.
-
Hi sweetcakes. I don't think we can really stop anyone from posting questions about us. As long as the question isn't a duplicate, spam/offensive or nonsense, the question would get through the system. Personally, I've flagged some questions about me. But they weren't approved ;-)
-
you don't chase me down. i never avoid a friend in need sweetcakes. especially if they need a (((hug)))!
-
that would be cool. But, maybe if the one giving the announcement really knew the person, that would take care of it. After all. only a real friend knows you.
-
I ask first and then i post a question about other user so i guess i agree with you.
-
I don't ever do that and will never do that I promise
-
Well, I never post questions, about other's or not, but it sounds like a good idea. But some won't listen, I'm sure.
-
Good request Sweetcakes . It should be rule of thumb unless it is Congratulating or Birthdays..
-
UNless it's to help celebrate someone's happy day at rising to Sage/higher or some other very grand celebration, I promise to never use someone's name or even hint at someone's behavior with a question. I've seen to many people get hurt or embarrassed by it, including myself. And I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here or on the spot. I don't think it's a good idea to request names listed for good or bad things either. It doesn't improve the community at all, and just divides us or makes us feel uncomfortable. Stick with upbuilding for ALL members.
-
I AGREE !!! I have bever done that and i wont do that either people who have low life values do0 i think!!!
-
ok and i am new so i am glad that i scrolled through. thanks
