Word from the Robots

I confirmed today that none of the robots intervened to close these 2 accounts. It appears the owners of the accounts closed them.

Personally, it’s a bummer that folks jumped to the conclusion that we were somehow punishing folks who were using the site (and saying they feared we’d punish them for saying something about it). Does it seem like that sort of place?

We’ve worked really hard to make the site a friendly and positive site for folks to share their goals with each other and we treat it all with a very light hand. In the future, if folks have a concern about a user, it would be great to have the issue brought up in clear way so we can understand the concern and look into it. Here the communication was so cryptic that it was hard to figure out what was known and who knew it.

The worst part of this

Was that people who had a lot of interaction with others on 43T just closed their accounts without any explanation. I think that’s just plain inconsiderate. Let’s all vow that if we ever feel the need to close our accounts, we’ll post a “goodbye” message first. We’ve become a community of people who care about each other. None of us would want a friend “in real life” to leave town without saying goodbye, so let’s don’t do that here either.

Josh, I don’t know how you can prevent this from happening again. Thanks so much for checking into it and talking to us about it.
