Is your kid in the Top 10 list? 2007 Q1 contest results Motherhood Forums Photo Contest

My 2 cents ...

Just wanted to share my opinion on matters happening in this website. I have noticed a lot of complains with regards to Auntie Anna. I am not siding anyone but I just find it sad to see so many harsh words or should I say untactful words being used in this forum. This forum/website is for Moms by Moms.

Auntie Anna is only one person. I wouldn't dare think she is perfect. We all have flaws. I guess it boils down to whether you want to help her make this forum a better one. For instance, if anyone notices that a past winner has joined the contest again or you noticed someone cheating or someone sending in too many pictures, etc etc etc... you could notify A.Anna personally instead. We are all here to have fun while showing off our beautiful kids. Every kid has a chance of winning. It is entirely up to the judge(s) to decide who wins. We don't even pay a single cents.. so why complain a lot? We should just sit down and enjoy the fun. At least, that's how I feel it should be.

Moderators? I remember once there were a few moderators elected. Maybe you could try helping A.Anna out to see what is happening and informing her on what should/needs to be done. Infact, moderator or NOT, we all have to help each other out. Don't you think?

A.Anna on the other hand, we would really appreciate if you could answer SOME private messages if not all. I guess you must be very busy but at least you should try. If you need help, get the moderators to help. Then you won't be too much burden?? :)

Infact, I also noticed some complains about other members as well. Some were using NOT VERY NICE WORDS either. In short... a LOT of complains :(

I hope with this.. everyone will work hard together to make this site a better place for everyone. I truly enjoyed sharing here in the beginning but after seeing so many complaints, it was an instant shying off as it really a turn off.

That's my 2 cents !! :)

Thank you all for your support, and kind words. Yes, I am just 1 person. It's alot of work to do, especially for a hobby (ie: I receive no salary whatsoever). I set up this site, with some guidance from Jeanne of Singaporemoms, as a free channel for Malaysian mothers to help each other, share parenting tips etc. To date, hundreds of Malaysian mothers have benefited from the advice and camaradie of other mothers. And yes, the photo contest is meant to be a fun-filled event! It's entirely up to us to keep it that way!

For better or for worse, it is very interesting to observe how we Malaysian mothers behave online, don't you think? Everything that we say here is a record for the world to see. And the record remains forever. So I would urge all Malaysiamums members to remember that we are, in some ways, "ambassadors" on the net.

We welcome anyone who has the heart to become a Malaysiamums Facilitator - as this is a community portal for Malaysian mothers, by Malaysian mothers. If anyone of you would like to volunteer, just drop me an email!

As for my private messages, I try to answer them as quickly as I can, but as you can imagine, there are hundreds of emails that I receive everyday, given that our membership base has now exceeded several thousand mothers. I try to answer them in order of receipt (ie: first come first served). And I assure you that I will eventually get to your email. But please be patient with me. Although I would like to offer "instant service", unfortunately, there's only 1 of me, and thousands of members out there :P

Thanks again, Felician, Sharon, for your kind words, patience and understanding. It's mothers like you who inspire me to continue doing what I do :P

Luv
Auntie Anna
