Seriously, the aim here is to get ideas to better the forums, something constructive to make this a better place for all parties involved.
Instead,there is alot of unnecessary provocations so as to provoke a response from Averal and me. Instead of finding a solution, everyone is just contented with pointing fingers. Pointing out the flaws of her suggestions and say that she is doing all this to generate attention or challenging her to conduct a shoot of her own. When asked to contribute , some just come up with a "Why Should I" attitude? Others label her as idealistic and say she is making a mountain out of a mole hill. That is because she cares for these young girls . She is not making money out of this. She is not getting a cent from anyone for doing this. In fact, she is getting flamed for every single thing she comments on. Just because she has the guts to stand out and say something.
I understand alot of photographers -Pro or hobbyist feels like they are being affected by this article. We think that alot of what we know now is going to change as a results of her actions but sometimes change is good. We fear change as we fear it will affect the way we lead our lives as we know it.
In the heat of the moment, hurtful words are hurled around like missiles and I am sure everything can be settled in a cordial manner. I appreciate those who are giving suggestions to make the forums a more condusive place to post in. As for the moderaters, I thank you for the effort you are putting in on a daily basis to patrol and make this a safe environment for all and yes, it is hard to keep an eye on every little thing in the forums itself and if any rude or unacceptable comments have been passed, I apologize. I sincerely hope we can put our personal differences aside and pool all our energies into making Clubsnap the most popular forums not only in Singapore but beyond that.
In peace the hand has been extended.
Merry meet and merry part till we merry meet again.
