I agree we shouldn't be forced to stay in certain areas, treated like we are not able to contribute or participate throughout the forum.
The whole thread has gone down the drain, the question missed and it's turned into a floodgate of people hurling insults.
You can PM me, but did you ever get a response ?
FYI, Meg addressed the forum and I appreciate her comment. Hopefully the nasty comments will cease. Great that she keeps an eye out for these things.
Oh did she I wouldn't have seen it as I unsubscribed. I did pm her about it I think on the 12th, so glad that she has addressed it.
If no one has seen it as like me they have unsubscribed to that qotw thread this is Megs post in full:-
QUOTE=Megs;29451537]Honestly, the question was simple - not intending to upset anyone, but I see how it could lead to that.
What made me think of it is my own Celine Luggage Totes. I've been carrying one of them recently and I realized that I loved these bags when I bought them but after it was so saturated, I stopped carrying them and really just put them away. I didn't like how so many people had them and because of that I was kind of over the bag.
I think everyone has the ability to share their thoughts while being respectful, but I can now see how that is hard - if someone is a fan of brand or bag X and another person bashes it, that can easily hurt someone's feelings. I'm sorry for making a question that lead to that and I'll monitor this thread and see if we need to close it.
Thank you to everyone who has been kind and respectful in this thread, and I'll be much more aware of my questions I pose going forward![/QUOTE]

Megs is such a sweet lady. Was very nice of her to address this thread and admit she had not thought about how it could lead to 'getting out of hand'. I truly believe she is a pure hearted person and gets surprised when others can be so mean. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body and is now disappointed what the thread has lead to. There is no doubt she meant well. My concern about this thread being started, was , are they looking to get certain bags off the forum and taking some kind of consensus poll?? Perhaps they would prefer to get rid of topics that cause so much drama, and MK is certainly one that causes much debate here, pro and con. I am glad to see this is not the case, because I would hate to lose our beloved MK forum. Was so kind of her to respond.
I would like to point out that the mods have been very helpful to us here in the MK forum. They started the new library for us. Fixed the fact we had no official authenticity thread. It wasn't even pinned to the top until just 8 or 9 months / a year? ago! All we had to to do was ask, and they got on it right away and even posted the forum authenticity rules to the first page , just like all the other authenticity threads. This really helped us get it better under control. Another thing they did for us, was add Michael Kors onto the list of Contemporary designers.
When I first joined a few years back, MK wasn't even on the list of designers, even though the forum existed, we still weren't on the list. It was proud day for me when I saw us added to the list. I am sure there are some that wish we never were added and perhaps since we are 'the new kids on the block', that is part of the problem?? Very high school if you ask me, but some of us never grow up! lol!
All we had to do was ask them to get added to the list, and they accommodated us immediately and have always been so helpful to us here, and for that I am very grateful and hope the rest of you are as well. While it can be frustrating not getting every nasty post we see , taken down / removed, always remember the good things they have done for us which far out weigh any silly drama we run into. I just want you to know how great they really have been to and for us, here in the MK forum, specifically, Megs. Swankymama and Vlad, as I am sure they are for all the forums. Their intent is well meaning. It has to be almost impossible to control all the drama. It's some of the members here that are the real problem, not the moderators or management.

Not had any personal dealings with her, but I am sure she only has the best interests of the forum at heart.
I have been a Mod before so not only do i relate to the issues but fully understand and appreciate where they are coming from.
Feeling bullied by other members though is a concern and i will say if they don't put a lid on it, they will lose members and will gain a reputation for it. This is not said to invalidate their hard work nor to say they are not making any efforts.
Dislike for things i get, but whew some really do not get how they are coming off or perhaps they do and simply don't give a damn. I generally try and remain out of drama i come here for fun, i have more than enough drama in my real life but sometimes it gets hard to always remain quiet especially when it does take on a personal level.
I actually have a QOTW suggestion which i will maybe shoot off to her? The concept of this is fun, and i do enjoy the topics(most of the time) but unfortunately, as per usual it only takes a few rotten apples to spoil the barrel.

[/QUOTE]Yes, but Hesitant, why should we let those rotten apples take away from the fun we have here in our MK forum?? What about your friends here?? I say, let's just stay here and ignore the other forums. Every time I venture out of the MK forum I am shocked and disgusted, so why go there?? Just stay and hang out with us and we can have fun here! I really could care less if some bozos don't know a gorgeous product when they see it! lol!! That's THEIR problem, not ours! And statistics show that outside this forum, MK is number ONE hottest designer bag for the past 3 years! So they don't know diddly! You think Michael cares?? I'm sure he is crying all the way to the bank! lol!
SPEAKING of fun!! I just took advantage of the Macy's sale and got a fabulous deal on this GORGEOUS MK bag I never knew existed! Holy cow! What's just the BEST about this, is the hardware is all RHODIUM, which is even better than platinum! Can you believe it?? I can't wait to see it in person! It is a super brilliant white SILVER color that is even brighter than platinum! I can hardy WAIT till it gets here! It meets ALL of my requirements with 2 outer pockets and everything! My hubby let me get it for my upcoming birthday! I think I'll keep him for another year! lol! ( I've been telling him that every year for the past 13 years! lol! ) But anyway, here is a pic. Is this hot or what! ?? Can you just imagine the RHODIUM hardware?? I know the pic doesn't do it justice and it is really very brilliant silver color.

Love the bag, don't forget that reveal! You know i love you gals here but i still think it's not right when there is a feeling of being intimidated or general uncomfortable vibes elsewhere, the forum doesn't belong to only one brand.
Plus i do own more than MK
Generally i do ignore but some comments you just can't let by... Love him or hate him.. he's getting noticed which is exactly what a designer wants~ so he's winning either way.
