Can some one please treat the members of Poetbay with a decent and respectful answer to this question. We believe we deserve an answer

Who has editorial control of this site

 




An Open Question to any one who might answer by M.A.Meddings

A significant number of members ofPoetbay have expressed there disdain at the way the site has been abandoned in recent months.

Allegedly the previous creator of this site has surrendered editorial control such that it is to other parties

As a paying member about to renew his subscription, I would like to know that the site is in the custody of one who can answer the very legitimate questions posed in recent letters.

I make no judgement on the previous encumbent other than sorrow at the way he left us to flounder. He obviously has no doubt , legitimate reasons that prevent him paying attention to the site he so brilliantly created. I believe he should have told members in an open letter what was the score.

Nevertheless thats how it is and thats how it will remain  Iguess

but can some one please enlighten us to

what the hell is going on. The truth of the matter would be so respectful to loyal members

Who has editorial control would be astart.

regards

Michael A Meddings

Thomas, and everybody else:
I think I know where the rumour originated.
At the end of October, I had a PM exchange with the former administrator on another website, where I happened to find him. There, I asked him to approve my own photo on my poetbay member page (I have been asking and waiting for that approval since mid September"). He answered quite angrily, saying, among other things, that it was not his commitment to approve photos on the bay, because he was not managing the site anymore. From this, I understood that JoF had left the administrative functions to somebody else.
Today, I am more prone to believe that he simply has left the ship, without informing anybody of us.
I might be wrong, but... Well, you all can see the situation here.

In affect, this could be construed as fraud, it would be interesting to know the legal side to all of this. Money is taken as an agreement to certain functions being carried out and then is reneged upon.

i so agree it would be good to know just who is responsible for the Bay now.... I have not had an answer to a mail posted over a month ago concerning the no go posting a picture on my page, it is a trivial matter I know, but still something that should work conscidering the agreement between the site and the users.

I hope that this open letter gets a reply... It would be welcome ..

best wishes
