HOLMES
As a member, here I follow the banned thread whenever it is updated to see if anyone I knew ended up on it. Most the time it is the following
a. New members
b. They posted in your readings
c. They didn’t’ give feedback
d. They didn’t’ pay attention to the request to leave feedback (leading to chasing pms, locking threads asking them to reply to previous forums)
e. That lead to the moderators working when they volunteer their time to keep the forum running in good stead out of good intentions.
f. This lead to your readings posting a separate sticky about feedback, still they were not hindered
g. With the moderators for this growing problem getting worn down it was decided the following
: So, new rule:
One strike and you are out. One in-thread note, one PM. Period. Your account will be closed.
I wish to give new members who join with the intent to stay in earnest the best chance to so. lots of possible new members lurk reading talking tarot, and using tarot before creating an account.
I am all for it myself for when doing readings in the reading exchange the best thing I can get is detailed feedback to know if I am doing an accurate reading or just talking air. So, people out of good intentions may post replies to the readings that speak to them and just like myself want to know if it helped, and if their insight was spot on. And so, when now and then looking for your readings and see a post that catches my intuition I respond in earnest looking for an earnest response to my feedback.
The forum has a long stance since I joined in 2002 that requests for free readings isn’t allowed so a person who posts in your readings that doesn’t leave feedback is really getting a free reading.!! In the equal exchange idea by giving feedback to our feedback on your take of the tarot as it applies to your situation you have paid for your reading if you get my meaning.
In a public setting a person came up to me and asked to look at the cards so I did, and they pulled out a card and ask me what does this mean. I explained, and they did it again, and I said sorry I can’t tell you, for you are asking for a free reading. In that regard I was looking for payment for my services. Here in the forum I am looking for feedback for my time and energy.
This thread is intended for the good members who are in earnest about wanting to stay and learn about the tarot but do not really understand the feedback rule. Perhaps you are shy, or don’t’ feel that you know enough to offer feedback to those who post feedback on your self reading, that is ok we are all human so perhaps what I know doesn’t really apply to the situation after all.
There will always be those who join looking for a free reading and intent to high tail it. The banned door will hit you on your way out. However, for those who do seek free readings without feedback perhaps some foresight is needed for say in 3 to 10 years (hopefully we will all be here then exchanging tarot readings) you get something change in your life and you want a good place to study the tarot, talk about it but alas you won’t be able for earlier you got banned for not giving feedback to your self reading in your readings.
So, in closing the refusal to leave feedback can leave you banned even for older members so it is key that when you make a thread in your readings that you do so with the intent of giving the best self interpretations and to give detailed feedback to everyone who responds.
