Comments

[(Anonymous)]

I hear you, anon. We had a newcomer to our fandom group and while her opinions and comments on the actual fandom are fine, she does seem inclined to be a negative nelly when other people post suggestions for the group. (Like, someone posts an idea for a challenge/contest etc, and because she personally isn't interested she has to make that apparent to everyone else involved and say why it's a terrible idea.)

I don't know how to address this as I'm kind of new to the group myself, and I don't want to make it seem like it's an issue of "You're new here, so shut up". I wouldn't want to take this kind of negativity from the oldest oldbie, either.

It's also frustrating because she has gone out of her way to say how much she hates drama and people who cause it, but a lot of her comments seem like she's trying to start something. WHY???

Contact the mods, if there are mods. This is the kind of user that has to be stopped from the beginning, before she has done any true damage, either through reprimands or through banning. If you (as a group, but also the moderators) let her have her way, she'll poison your community. Give her enough time, and soon she'll start "corrupting" other users, and then you'll have dissent, flame wars, and so much drama. I've seen it happen many times before, exactly like that. You're still on time to nip this problem in the bud.

Sadly, there aren't really mods- so to speak. Just people who seem to get the ball rolling on activities more than others? This is all on FB, so the best we have is the community admin, but they aren't really the sort to tell someone off because they're saying negative things. Also, this person has gone on record as saying something to the effect of "whatever people think about me isn't going to change how I act", and although I don't think she was referring to this sort of behavior, I'm pretty sure she would take any comment from someone like me and chuck it out the window. I think she's found a kindred spirit, but it's someone that's on the fringes of the group and I think they are content to sit there and fume.

Yeah, I don't want this to blow up and I guess someone is going to have to say something. I wish I was better at doing that. ~_~;;; I'll probably just address it the next time it happens with a "Hey, it's fine that you don't like such-and-such and don't want to participate, but just announcing it to the whole group while criticizing and not offering helpful feedback might discourage other people from joining in."

Yeah. Steeling myself for the backlash. >.>

Oh, but thank you for your comment. It has reinforced my resolve to do something about it.
