I think this thread is great. A veteran of the forumn speaking up and calling for more respectful interaction on the forumn. Taking up for someone who has contributed a lot to the forumn, and is well thought of here.....Good stuff. I had a negative experience here once too, and nearly wrote it off. There was a core group of people who spoke up and said "that's not right", and I can't tell you much I appreciated it. Goddess called this thread a "train wreck", and I guess I can understand why. I see some real character being shown here though, and I for one appreciate it. Now, back to the Feet!

Love you Goddess Elizabeth! You are the cat's ass! Anyhow i concur, have noticed this trend as well, it is sad to see but those who have negativity or start useless shit slinging can easliy be banned by those who have the ability to do so here on Wu's.

IamSpartachris, I have not been able to sign on to Wu's wonderful forum much of late, but agree completely with your premise that this should remain a civil and polite meeting of friends. I would never want to discourage anyone from contributing in this manner. Wu did not put Steph in the hall of fame as I requested, but we still be friendly in this "nearly" perfect world that Wu so thoughtfully created.

We must all do our part in keeping this place as civil as possible.
I will definitely step up my game to ensure that people feel comfortable posting here and to make this place enjoyable for everyone. I personally apologize to those who have been attacked or insulted.
I also need help from all of you. If you come across a rude or inappropriate message, contact me or one of the mods immediately. Do not engage with that person. It will only make the situation worse. Just watch them quietly disappear. I can be reached by PM and if my box is full, send me an e-mail. wufeet@wusfeetlinks.com
quote:Originally posted by Patrick: Before this gets off course on something I "could" see happening, I want to express some thoughts from a webmaster/photographer who also shares a lot of content, thoughts and stories here on Wu's.
As someone who has been doing photos and sharing them on Soles of Silk and some previous free sites for years, I don't think of myself as "above" critism. I don't ask that people treat me like a celebrity on here and I don't think the majority of my fellow webmasters, photographers or foot models do either. You'll get one every once in a blue moon who thinks that way, but they generally don't last (and I'm glad they don't).
For me and I'm sure most of my peers, we just like coming here to communicate, share what we're doing and get feedback too. It's the feedback that I "think" this post is focused on, and I don't think it is based off a single thread.
Lately many users have shared photos of their wife or girlfriend with the rest of us. These people do not run sites, they just wish to share with the rest of us a part of what they enjoy. I can remember the first time years ago that I sent photos of my then girlfriend Abby to Leg Show to share with everyone. It was such an awesome feeling to show other people that were like us her feet.
You don't have to like every girl posted here, but why tell someone that his wife's feet are "average at best" or that you've "seen better photo skills" and so on. If they don't tickle your fancy for whatever reason, just go to the next post and find one that does. I'll be the first person to say that I'm not a fan of every picture/video that gets posted on here. I'll also admit that I'm a fan of some that I don't even post on.
I'm pretty sure this thread has made its point and there really is no need to argue about what's right and wrong as we all know right from wrong. I just say respect each other and let people enjoy what they like, even if it isn't what you like.

I agree, as a fellow webmaster. I have been here for a long time as well and the forum has changed. I only really started posting again this year. But Wu has been cool with me even when I was emailing him as a fan waaay back in the day, so this will always be my personal foot forum in my mind. I have known some of you for years, and coming here is coming to like a foot fetish "Cheers" or something, lol. But some people have gone and many more have discovered this board since i got on in '06.
Some people who post here really do put the heart and the soul into the work that they do and to badmouth that is pretty lame. Even if we do not agree on everything. I would think that common sense would override bad banter imho. Photography and Video are a process. And to own any mom and pop site is a labor of love 99 percent of the time fo sho. I think the keyword in all of this may just be a bit more constructive feedback instead of negative imho, if you don't dig what your reading, watching or seeing.

Not that I make a habit of stereotyping but I think back a few years ago members were from a different Internet era and acted in the forum as they would in the company of other human beings. I agree 100%!
Now it seems there is a newer generation who looks at what's on the screen and interacts as if they were the only person in the room. Now these people are still a minority of the whole generation. I'm not saying EVERYONE in this generation, just that there seem to be proportionately more trolls than in other generations.
For these particular people, they act like everyone else in the universe are just props and scenery for their own life story. It would be sort of comical if it wasn't so irritating.
People seem to forget that if you insult someone's wife out in the world her husband will be picking your teeth out of his boot sole, and you'd deserve every bit of it. Acting like that in an Internet forum means you'll never get hurt but it doesn't mean that you don't deserve to.
