Ever notice this about allnurses?

Published

It regulary happens that someone posts a question or brings up a topic, and is immediately told "This has been discussed before. Do a search."

Then-

When someone does a search and posts in the threads they find, someone will tell them "Did you notice how old this thread is?"

That's probably a record number of thanks. I guess it's always good to talk about negative things, and some things need to be said, but it's also a bit disappointing that a criticism receives so much thanks, and goes on for page after page. :chair:

Acutally, this thread has more, and rightly so.

I agree, Tweety. Unfortunately, it's kinda like the news.......all we ever see is the bad stuff that happens.

It is sad when everyone jumps on the bandwagon when negative things are being said.

It would be nice if we could raise the bar a bit and take time to express appreciation for the wonderful things about this site. There must be something good that keeps bringing so many members back day after day.

I thought non-nice things were against the TOS?

I think it shows that many people have noticed the same thing and maybe felt the sting of critisism over this. It happened to me at another forum, and It made me felt like an outsider and unwelcomed. I think it was just a highly accurate statement that resonated with many.

Just a note, at the bottom of the Page there is a Box that states Similar threads.... alot of them are old.... and yes I have posted to those not realizing that the thread was old.... most of the time I just Lurk.... But if I do have to Vent about my day I go to my journal.... There I can vent.... It just feels good to Type it out...sometimes.

Yes! Allnurses finds old threads and pulls them up for us. I figure, so what if it's old? Posters can express themselves, and readers might learn something.

I thought I was making an observation; not critisizing.

That's why I never post about anything except sugar and spice and everything nice.

i have to agree with this.

when there are that many thanks/responses, it has indeed struck a chord.

not all mods/admins do this however.

but rather than provide a link and close down the thread, why not provide the link, and leave the thread open?

this way, if the op still has more questions/concerns, they have a place to do this.

otherwise, it does come across as abrupt, abrasive and absolute.

i'm glad this was brought up.
