| Suggestions/Complaints and Other Site Issues One of the first pages that a visitor to DCS sees listed in the Side Bar is the one on being non judgemental, and for the reasons stated there - freeing energies to focus- it is the loving force on which the healing that does take place here is founded. It is wonderful when you set your feelings out and no one tells you they are wrong or you are mad for having them. It is freeing and one of the reasons that you get this acceptance and understanding is that fellow members reading your message recognise their own painful experience in it. That miraculously breaks down the barriers of judgement that often separate folk in everyday life. From that source comes the support on the community that really makes a difference. Would that we could recognise ourselves in others in other matters just as easily! But the fact is we do not. It is a judging world out there, but judgement has no place in a group whose strength is its desire and ability, when supporting, to set judgements aside. For that reason there is an associated site called Suggestion/Complaints at http://groups.msn.com/DCSSuggestionsComplaints/general.msnw?action=get_threads DCS Suggestions/Complaints The medium for communication there is through the General Message Board and managers will look at it regularly to view and act on members posts that are made there. The site will allow members to - make suggestions for the improvement of DCS,
- suggest new policies or
- changes to existing ones,
- make complaints about apparent breaches of policy by members (including managers)....**please limit your complaint to this specifically, and do not include individual personality conflicts, arguments etc...**
- point out inconsistencies in application of policy by managers and
- deal with any issues that are not directly related to providing support to each other on the main DCS site.
The creation of this site will also allow members to see what managers have said or are thinking in response to posts and will hopefully neutralize myths about what has been done and the motivations for it. I think transparency is the word. MSN Code of Conduct also applies to this community. Please refrain from violating this code. If your post is a "slam" on an individual then it will be considered "flaming" and will be removed without notice to the poster. A level headed debate will get your point across faster than a personal attack.  There will still be some issues of a personal nature that need to be dealt with by e mail to the managers e.g. harassment, stalking, lewed, threatening or improper behaviour that takes place where no public record is visible. Managers can be contacted at PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR A RESPONSE Finally posts that are posted to the DCS boards that fall into the categories above will be moved over there simply to keep the main site free to focus. So too will threads that start off in a support basis but turn to site issues (it happens  ). A link pointing to the moved posts will be placed on DCS with a brief covering note. This is in keeping with the desire stated by many members to "get back to the way it was." but it will help reduce the work load on managers if you would consider posting there in the first instance for posts that do fall into the categories listed above. |
