    Default Is SW getting catty?

    Just wondering if anyone else has been getting a catty vibe from this site lately.

    I remember first getting on SW in April and being surprised and amazed at how positive and supportive everyone was. But lately, IMHO, it's been a bit bitchy as of late (especially in HH).

    I'm almost afraid to post things in case someone 3 years ago asked a similar question/made a similar statement, or in case one of the "higher-ups" thinks my question is stupid. It's starting to remind me of high school, to be blunt. If you have something negative to say, or if the thread is repetitive, why not just ignore the thread instead of pausing to say something off-putting?

    If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then feel free to say so (and please do some self-reflection before answering--I realize this is the kind of question people get defensive about). I'm not attacking anyone--especially not specifically--but am I crazy?

    (And please don't leave comments like "if you don't like it, just leave SW" because I've really enjoyed being part of the site and having it as a resource. I'm just opening this up for discussion)

    Has it seemed a bit catty around here lately to you?

    Just check out the "thread" in the members lounge - not SW's finest of moments.

    I haven't been on the site too long so I can't really compare to how it was then to how it is now... but yeaa I do notice that everytime someone posts something that I suppose is similar to something posted in the past there are people quick to point out how they should try using the search function.
    I can understand this method to prevent several same threads appearing... but some of the questions asked I've never seen before(since I'm a new member) and I'd like to participate in answering... I can't give my input on a topic that was posted 3 years ago.

    'SW has a case of teh dumb' probably.

    I replied in there only to try to reason with the scapegoat at the end of it, but then it seems she enjoys being attacked. I just don't understand it.

    Other than that, that thread is embarrassing for SW and females in general. And of course that's just one example. It was definitely more positive and friendly 3 years ago.

    It goes up and down. Tends to be a month of great, then a month of PMS. It is hard to be a newbie here, but once you get into the swing of things, it's good stuff.

    I was gonna say you just now noticed this but see you just joined in April. Been here since 04 and have seen many bitchy comments but to me most other posts are pretty helpful. People seem to remember the negative more than the positive.

    If I don't step out of certain threads I'll want to flip out on some people. Stepping back from the keyboard is always a great idea in a heated moment.

    I agree. I wasn't aware that member boards were just a free for all - lets insult other members coz this section isn't moderated.

    Exactly. If you can pick what you like and leave the rest it's really a good information source for just about anything

    I'm a newbie and no one has been catty towards me. But I'm a pretty neutral person and spend more time reading or posting in random threads that keep me entertained.

    IMHO SW has always had a lot of negativity and nastiness. But I stay because there is also good stuff; I guess it depends whether you feel like the positive, helpful things outweigh the negative vibes and bitchyness.

    I've been on here for 2 years (under another name) and I've gone on hiatus from SW several times b/c at the time, I felt like the negatives were overwhelming the site. But like I said, I come back because there are positives here too.

    But seriously...what's the point?

    I mean, if you don't want to answer someone's thread question/comment, then just don't!! Why stop and say things that are just so condescending and unhelpful?

    That one Lounge thread is terrible. It sounds like long-term SW members are trying to scare away the new members...which is destructive to our growing community.

    How many original questions are there? I mean seriously...it's not like every thread we start is going to be on a COMPLETELY different topic from everything else that has ever been posted on this site.

    And about Hustle Hut--I've been dancing for about two years, and I still learn things from new girls occasionally. What's the harm if new girls want to post their hustling techniques??

    It's funny that you think the older members are trying to scare away the newbies. Having been around awhile, I think all the catty newbies scared away all the valuable older members! But it's all relative.

    The middle children of SW are alienating their siblings with their cattiness.

    i think the things that rile me up the most are people that dont use the search function before posting, newbs and non newbs alike, that and the karge amount of holier then thou dont dance fi you dont make xxx lines.

    i think things are so shitty that no one is posting anything work related and thats part of the problem.

    +10 for Penny! It goes in waves babe, you either just have to roll with the punches or not take things too seriously around here. Much of the time, it's like a virtual stripclub-it's not for the meek or mild and you have to know how to stand your ground and show some backbone when need be.

    that's really one of my biggest peeves on here. the assumption that if you aren't making "x amount" of money you must be: ugly, not trying hard enough, not good at sales, an idiot, etc.

    i've noticed it's an increasing trend too. LOTS of comments like that lately.

    it's like, way to go! act exactly like the customers who all think we must make a grand a night.

    It's really mixed, I think. I post a lot on here, and most of the time will get good and helpful replies but then every once in a while there's a peppering of some nastiness. I just don't reply back to those people. I've always been very nice and respectful of others and the rules of the site as well, and I intend to keep things that way.
    I agree with just not saying anything at all if you don't agree with someone, but I guess some just can't resist. Some people like drama, some don't. Anywhere that you have a community of so many different people from all walks of life, there's always gonna be the good, the bad and the ugly I think for the most part this site is of the good and that's what keeps me coming back.
