Etsy forums

It would be lovely...LOVELY...if the forums had a bit more moderating going on. Some sections have several thousand topics. Stupid people keep starting threads with their rants, and then once their ranting is done, they go totally off topic so that the entire thread is just taking up space in the Etsy forums. It's ridiculous! It's actually rather demoralizing. I don't check the forums "often" but when I do, I'd like to see topics that are actually useful. Plus, it's highly annoying when people use "text talk". It's not that hard to spell out "your" instead of "ur". "Ur" looks highly unprofessional, for one, plus it just makes you look like you can't spell. Take a typing class!! It will help you type faster, and it's actually easier to spell words right instead of searching out the 'u' and 'r' to make "ur". Goodness sakes people.

I really only participate in the forums to get my shop more exposure from other sellers, but I'm finding the forums more and more discouraging. I've posted a couple threads on there, one of which I was wanting feedback on my shop as a whole, and I have hardly gotten any feedback at all. I don't feel like I fit in there at all.

Just checked out the "Etc." section of the forums: 13770 PAGES of topics. Really?
