Unhappy Active Rain Bloggers.... Am I being naive?

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Sundance

I have taken the time tonight to read over the most active blogs this evening.  I'm starting to get more involved on commenting and so far I've been able to sift through the helpful and not so helpful. 

 Based on the blogs read this evening it seems that there are people misusing the system for points, other's not happy with comments or lack of comments, and in some cases comments make mention of peoples names with negative opinions attached. 

I can empathize with the ones not happy with the cheaters, but am I being too naive to think that Active Rain doesn't have rules against this and censors in place to avoid this from being a rampant problem.

Now the flipside of this is don't get so upset,and utilize this networking system for what it was intended. Networking with ethical Real Estate peers. Fill me in if I'm off base Active Rainers.   

Everyone has an opinion.  We can choose not to support it.  I hope to keep my rose colored glasses on a little while longer.

No but if I were you, I would post your comments to the site that authored the original blog...not do a take off.  Laurie would appreciate it I'm sure...Just my opinion.

A comment is just that a comment.  We all are entitled to our own opinion.

There certainly are rules and a lot has been written.  Active Rain has taken great pains to try to stop the worst offenders.  With so many members, I am sure it is difficult.
