Re: forming a closed group for sharing experiences
If when religion is talked about we have to accept people don't believe why should another belief be allowed a closed section ? We could end up with loads of sections with a few people in each surely if you believe something you can stand up and say so and accept others may not agree ?30-08-2015, 07:57 PM

Re: forming a closed group for sharing experiences
Sorry Susan,it's also a no from Me..I like to read all about the experiences of ALL Our Members re' paranormal activity and everything else,but never having had any I wouldn't be able to add to it ...Mind You there is a closed group already for Supporting Members I believe,so maybe there's a way around it?...Good Luck with it any way ;~)

Re: forming a closed group for sharing experiences
I don't agree with closed threads either because they have the potential to be divisive creating a forum within a forum. There's a risk that cliques can be formed, again with the potential of causing friction between members.It would be interesting to know what Azz's view is on this.

I imagine that ridicule is the main reason it was suggested it might be a closed group?
My opinion for what it's worth is that as it's a sensitive subject which always attracts a level of ridicule it should be open, but carefully monitored so that any deliberate attempts at sabotage and ridicule can be swiftly shown the exit and deleted.

If you want to bring up a subject then by all means do so on a thread so everyone can have a say
If you are granted it then I will straight away ask for one on photography. That will be the beginning of the end of the heading
OVER 50'S FORUM
iF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT PARANORMAL THEN JOIN A SITE THAT COVERS IT.
Don't join a forum like this then 3 months later try and change it .If you don't like it then you know what to do
