Active members

I am VERY active.  I come on several times a day and in the evening I am here for several hours.  On Friday and Saturdays and holidays I think I campout here!   

Maybe you could give awards each time they earn a new writer status.  I also know that many don't write as many reviews but participate a lot in the discussion boards so the other awards could be given when you reach a certain number of posts because that marks your participation.  That would give most an opportunity to be recognized no matter which way they choose to participate.

Take for example yourself, you aren't posting numerous reviews but you are staying SUPER busy on the boards. And I was on a roll with reviews and in the past week or two have gotten all caught up in the forums.  I do have some reviews in the works too ;+) 

 

I pop in and look a round a few times a week. Comment here and there when I feel moved to.

some are afraid of retailiation

I'm glad we're on the same wavelength because I was beginning to wonder if I was missing something.  ~Gigi

Think Moonb is concerned that negative comments by employees could result in a penalty. Sometimes its wiser to play around the hazards.

Surely someone wouldn't be penalized for voicing their opinion on a public forum.  That would be discrimination against one individual who would feel they didn't have the freedom that the rest of us do here at Viewpoints.

Oh well--let's just have fun and enjoy the next round ;+) 

actually i wouldn't put it past certain managers to do that sort of thing gigi

Maybe it would come across as a reprimand if you were the employee.  I guess the staff at Sears, K-Mart and Viewpoints are trying real hard to make this a pleasant site for people to share the knowledge on products, to interact with others and to learn, grow and laugh in an environment that feels comfortable and safe.

If the employee were too negative I guess someone might approach them about their attitude just to keep it from effecting the other guests.

A smart person wouldn't identify themself if they were being nasty; especially if the negativity were being directed toward their boss or company.

Me, I come to Viewpoints to publish reviews, read reviews and vote/comment on them and have the time of my life at the board games that my friends and I participate in.  I would be very upset if someone "attacked" me. I'm a very sensitive person both about myself and toward others so I am very mindful to not intentionally hurt or offend someone and if I think I have then I am quick to apologize.

Why don't you follow my Friends' activity over to some fun and exciting games?  Anyone's welcome and I am sure you would have a blast!  ~Gigi   

Moonbeamer's profile indicates 18 years with Sears or Kmart. The last 4 or 5 have given him/her/us plenty to b*tch about. There is also liability and ethical issues regarding inside information that is available to employees thru Sears Internet. Perhaps Rob, Mickey or Jolie can provide some clarification between posting on the SK-You message boards and the Viewpoint boards.

Like Gigi, I'm not keeping score but just here for a Good time and plan to be a contributor from time to time... which seems to be daily. hmmmm

Well, you can voice an honest opinion without implicating yourself or anyone else.  If someone feels their job or reputation is on the line I would think they would be more mindful of what they say. 

Some who post on Sk-you and/or Viewpoints are also staff and employees of the mother companies so of course they should be mindful of what they say so as not to run off the guests.  And many of us have learned to admire the community leaders or people at the top so we would extend our sincerest thanks to them for a job well done.  Round of applause for Michelina, Meredith, Jolie, Courtney and all the others out there!

Like Thumper said in Bambi: "Mama, says if you can't say something nice.  Don't say nothing at all."

I think the active members are active because they really enjoy Viewpoints.  Why else would we dedicate this much time to a social networking site?

Madgolfer.

  You look familiar. Did you use to be with the Kmart end. If so store number..

 

All us old white golfers look alike. With a Good tan, i get the Reggie Jackson thing going on too.

I was a very active member before you did this post.  Actually Black Friday is what pretty much stopped my participation.  But now that 4th quarter is over with, I'm back!

I drop by now and again....post some when I can. Life will be taking a turn for me soon as my husband will be home soon, so I am staying active around the house getting things ready for his return. So if I fall off the face of the earth for awhile don't worry about me..I will be back sooner or later, just will be enjoying my family being whole again.

Sometimes active sometimes not. Too many things to do in a day. lol. Still checking this place out as I am new. :)

  You can be honest without being negative. You cant make impact by keeping quiet but there is a right way to do this. The question is do you want to change things for the better or just want something to complain about.

   I usually get on daily but I have been gone a little while at camp Lejeune to see my son off to Iraq. ArmyWife02 good luck to your family and thank your husband for his service and thank you as well. The families of our military make many sacrifices too.

How was Jacksonville? 

I hope you had a good trip down and back home.

 I read where we will be shifting locations of our Marines in Iraq to another area across the water in the near future. My prayers will be for your love one across the water and all of service personel.

Tell your son the next time he calls that the prayers of our Nation are for him and WE support him and his brothers and sisters that wear the EGA as well as our other service personal.

  Thanks birddog333!

My trip was great I had an opportunity to spend some quality time with him before he left. Although the last day was sad when he left. Knowing I wont see him for over a year is difficult. I am always torn between being proud of my boys and worrying and missing them.

I will pass your message on to them. It really helps them to know that they people who appreciate them back home. After all they are doing this for us.
