The talkboard does not have a position as to what any member posts on other bulletin boards. I believe however that the moderators are drafting new guidelines in regards to those that posts links to such sites on FT.
How about a position on Talk Board members who conspire to act to manipulate FT on other, similarly named IBBs?
I'm not sure what you mean here... manipulate in what way?
Is there any sort of provision in the Talk Board constitution regarding conduct unbecoming of a Talk Board member and/or officer?
The
Talkboard guidelines allow for removal of a Talkboard member by a 2/3 majority vote if the Talkboard feels that member is not fulfilling their obligation.
Do any of the individual Talk Board members have a particular position with regard to Talk Board members openly mocking other members of this community on other, similarly named IBBs as Flyertalk?
My position is... Talkboard members are elected. If you don't like the way they act, you can choose not to vote for them next time. Otherwise, they are members. "Open mocking" can take on many forms, be it posting rude things on a blog, parodying someones member name, villifying moderators, gossiping at Do's, or posting a trip report for a trip that was taken with another FTers spouse. It's all childish and immature, but it happens. We all have to take responsibility for our actions, and if my actions result in my not being re-elected, or voted off the island by my fellow TB members, then I can choose to believe that it was a vast conspiracy by those who dislike me, or I can take the time to weigh my FT contributions (good and bad) and use it as a growing opportunity.
Do any of you have a personal position with regard to Talk Board members who conspire to act to manipulate FT on other, similarly named IBBs?
I still don't get what you mean by this.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention to my concern.
You're welcome muffin
