Sorry if this offends you Smokey but we had a meet planned for tonight and have had to cancel due to family issues. Should we be named and shamed? Just because something has come up which means we cant go out, does that mean all our future meets should be cancelled? If for example, the person we was meeting gets a bit pee'd off at us for cancelling (even though we have a genuine reason) and decides to name and shame us, do you think we would ever get another meet?
A name and shame thread or a verification thread is open to abuse. For example, say for some reason or other I take a dislike to a certain member. I decide Im going to make it hard for that person to get meets, perhaps they turned me down or something, so I decide to put a bad post about the person being a timewaster and not attending a meet they had arranged. That other person knows nothing about the so called meet, but who is telling the truth? me or them? How do we prove it? Its their word against mine.
Name and shame and verification threads/posts are too open to abuse and is one of the reasons why they are not allowed on this site.
Timewasters, sorry but it happens, both in real life and on here, but you just have to pick yourself up and move on, hopefully learning from the experience and being a bit more careful with any future meets you arrange.
i dont know what shoes have to do with it....but can NWC's post please be a sticky? its the perfect answer, in my opinion, of course.
