Almost ready to try to concieve
Come talk with others who are in various stages of the journey to TTC, or even ... more
Do you find it too exclusionary, or stagnant?
Are there problems with trolls, snarky posters there like there are on the public boards? People who hide behind anon to avoid accountability?
In short, would you recommend it, or not?
We have not had one single incident of Anon postings or things getting out of hand on that board since it was created. The thing you have to worry about though if you have some hard-core trolls stalking you that are determined to cause trouble is that they can always get a new username to gain access to a private board too. Understandably it will probably happen a lot less often than trolling on a public board but it is still possible.
That would also be a question for WebMD administration about being permitted to remove invited members who are causing problems (although I don't know how you would go about this with Anon postings).
I think I would recommend a private board, especially considering the problems that have been touched on here from other boards and that I have seen glimpses of around here but whoever chooses who will be invited will have to beware of trolls, especially with members who just recently joined.
