Doesn't matter to me because honestly, I'll end up reading everything anyway.
I don't mind the topics themselves, I just mind when every thread/every post is about the same damn thing. It's been a lot better lately though, I think everyone has been more cognizant of what they're posting.

In my mind, I feel like we're doing well. However, I would love to see more updates around here with everyone's babies (I usually see the pregnancy updates on GotP, but I won't be on there forever!). I love baby pics! So if there is a chance of more baby/pregnancy related posts, maybe some sort of warning would be a good idea? Is "@" pretty common all over GBCN or would it be like we're stealing it?
It totally doesn't matter to me. I have no problem either way. I'll read it all. But an "@" sign does seem like a good symbol to pick. I love baby pics too!

I think it's a good idea. For the most part, I'll read it all because I am interested in everyone's lives. It would make it easy to bypass stuff on certain days though.

I just don't really think it'll work... I mean, as someone who is not in the best place, TTC-wise, lately, it isn't reading specific things that sucks, it's the initial reminder of babies and pregnancies.
I don't know, I think things have been fine lately.

I guess this is my point.
Just a friendly suggestion after some feedback in the two things Tuesday post.
This made me chuckle. Bitch away! But offer fair warning @@@@!
Water Cooler Codes: @= Pregnancy related @@= Baby/Child related @@@= Baby picture @@@@= GET OUT OF MY WAY. TTC RAGE

Don't be surprised one day soon if I have a post that just says @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
HoneySpider I don't know if I should laugh or cry!
Lol, I feel this way too. I wanted to like the post because it was funny, and then I was like, oh, that means HoneySpider is having a rough time *hugs*!

I don't think people need to use different symbols. I think spankswife thought was just to tag if it was kid related, TTC related, etc. But I'm fine with whatever.
I'm cool with whatever. I know I said personally I think these things should be marked, but it doesn't matter to me if it is by symbol or if it just states in the title that it is kid/baby/pg/ttc/whatever related. I just know for a bit there were lots of posts that contained this stuff (and I was one posting about it) and it was said that maybe we should back off a little. Again, I just want to be sensitive with the nature of the board.

I had the same thought. I stopped just as I was about to like it because of the laugh.
Sorry things are so rough, HoneySpider. We love you and if you need an entire TTC post of expletives, I will read them all for you. I wish I could fix everything <3

((hugs)) HoneySpider and awick14 (and everyone else struggling with TTC too)! I'm praying, hoping, rooting, and crossing everything possible for each of you ladies! I wish I could fix it or take it away...it sucks and I hate that you ladies are struggling/still dealing with TTC, especially when you should have your babies or at least some answers. I'm here if you ever need anything. And please, vent away whenever you need to!
I think the symbol is a good idea. People who want to use it can. People who think it's silly can go on their Merry way (Seriously) Personally, I'm keeping my TTC stuff over on GP where I can ignore it if I need to.
I honestly view this board as my TEAM. When there are successes and/or tough situations, I stand behind my team. It's FACEBOOK that gives me the sads with TTC...I try to avoid it when I can.

Ditto! I think that's why it's hard to not have those discussions/vents/updates/etc on this board. Even though I'm part of GotP (and they are great and supportive) it's definitely not my home board. But I totally get it and know that many of us, myself included, were not being as sensitive as we could and that's not fair for the others that I care so much for on this board.
