Indefinite Certainty

Welcome!

This blog is so active! I love reading the different opinions and looking at the different writing styles of each of the different authors. It's really quite enjoyable. Then again, we wouldn't even have an audience to write for in the first place if it weren't for you Wolf-Haveners. It's really nice to see the page view total rise in numbers every day. We sure thank you for your support!

I've begun to notice an unhealthy trend starting in the forums. Many users, especially in the sales board and recruitment threads, love giving advice on prices and how one can better their chances of getting into a pack. This is fine, don't get me wrong! It's just, sometimes the suggestions are unwanted or are taken the wrong way. Here are a few tips and tricks on giving advice to some of the newer member without hurting their feelings.

*If you are going to give them advice about prices, message them directly instead of posting on the forum.
   I don't know about you, but I'd be a bit embarrassed if someone posted on my thread my prices were too high and began listing reasons. Not only does it take up reply space, but a lot of times users have a certain price up there for a reason. If you are really bothered by their high price, try shooting them a message that starts off something like, "If you'd like more bidders/sales, try lowering the price because..." Make sure to be polite and courteous and answer any additional questions that user may have in regards to your price estimate.

*If someone has already added a post about price changes/pack entry suggestions, do not post again until the author of the thread has replied.
        Have multiple posts about the same topic may appear as if you are ganging up on that one user. Wait until the topic owner has replied and gauge his/her reaction to the first post. If s/he is open to more advice, you can then reply covering all of the points the first user has missed. If s/he was quite closed off to the suggestion, just leave the topic alone.

*If you are going to post a suggestion, be polite.
        No one likes it if you are just going to criticize their choice of prices. Calmly explain to them why they might be too high and what they can do to help get more customers. I can guarantee that they will respond much better to a polite user than a negative one.

Please welcome Rabbit to the A/R helper squad! I'm so glad to see her as part of the team and hope you will all be kind and encouraging as she gets her "A/R legs." Rabbit is certainly a qualified artist for this position and the extra paws will hopefully help get the A/R forum up and running again.

That's about it. I hope you have a great week and remember, "Do not take life to seriously. You will never get out alive."
