hi mummymaid,
my 2 cents worth...
- d moderators r really v busy as thr r oni 2 full time staff managing SB & SMH. if u had noticed, recently thr hv been quite a few downtimes which took a while 4 them 2 restore d forum. even nw, u can still c some mummies informing them tat certain threads can't b accessed. u r rite tat SMH is not their sole responsibility. reason being tat they hv 2 b responsible 4 both SB & SMH.
- yes, u r rite tt SMH is not as profitable as SB. in fact, SB is subsidising SMH. if u r them, wldn't u spend more time on SB so that they can generate more profits in order 2 cover SMH? if nt, they might hv 2 close down SMH. i m sure tt a lot of mummies dun wan 2 c tis happening.
- yes, d upgrading & migrating has been gg on 4 a while oledi. i m nt v sure abt d technical details, bt 1 thing i m sure of, it's nt easy. if nt, thr wldn't b any downtimes at all.
- on d contrary, i find SMH is nt as peaceful as SB. at least, at SB, u dun get mummies who try 2 do biz here under d guise of selling her own personal stuff, mummies who organise BP 4 d sake of profits, new mummies who try 2 get around d rules by posting her WTS items in other non-relevant threads, etc.
- i m sure tt CL & BL dun find mummies who report suspicious threads as being kpo or troublemakers. it's jus tt they dun hv time 2 do wat is necessary. they oni hv 1 pair of hands each & 24 hrs oni. we can't expect them 2 wk 24 hrs mah. they aso need time 2 eat, sleep & spend time wif their families.
d helpful mummies might hv nt disappear, they might hv emailed CL or BL 2 report on d threads instead of posting them here. coz i noe tt some of these mummies hv gotten rude or even threatening pms fr those mummies whom they hv reported.
as 4 those mummies who try 2 get around d rules, wat we can do is 2 report them & at d same time, dun buy fr them. if they dun get any response, i m sure tt they wldn't wan 2 sell their items here oledi. if thr's no demand, thr wldn't b any supply.
mummymaid, dun b disheartened. i m sure tt ur efforts r appreciated by d moderators.
