A post from Karen, the new Director of Community:

 

Hi all,

 

We’re reimagining the online Community experience at eBay and we can’t do this without you. Over the next several weeks we’ll post updates, questions and ideas right here  - in an effort to get your input on what you would like the new Community online experience to include.

 

To make sure we capture all of your ideas, thoughts and comments over the next few weeks and beyond - you’ll notice a few new faces online. For example, alan@ebay is joining Griff, myself and the eBay Community team as our dedicated Community Manager. After over 3 years on the boards in Dublin, Ireland, Alan is joining us at eBay headquarters in San Jose, CA. Welcome alan@ebay!

 

At its core, eBay is a place to sell, buy, connect, and learn - but most importantly - eBay is a place to belong.  And, our online Community plays a big part in making that happen. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts as we build the best Community experience together.

 

The eBay Community Team

 

Unfortunately, the only way to "find" this new board is through the main Community page and then the notice is only included in the "scrolling headlines info" at the top of the page.

 

Here is the link for quick access....share your thoughts and opinions, but, imo, it should be "Community" related and not about eBay problems in general...and FYI, for those who remember, bostongrammy posted!

I'm wondering if the next time I take a few days off, will the Part Time eBay Sellers Group still be here? wink emo.gif Anyone wanna guess?


No guesses here 😞

Let's all promise to leave breadcrumbs for each other, wherever we may land 😉

 I've been reimagining the online Community experience at eBay also. My recipe is fairly simple...

 

1. Go to eBay Motors amd find a Delorean

2. Search eBay for electronic components

    and find a Flux Capacitor...

 

   flux capicitor photo flux_capacitor.jpg

 

3. While listening to Huey Lewis and the News

 

 

 4. Play the Belly Button Game... it's kinda like

     the Word Game... Uhhh... OK, it's not...

   

  Innies

  • an ignore option
  • a "thumbs down" to counter the Kudos option.
  • the return of many posters, banned for simply posting with emotion.

 

  Outies (based on the assumption that one must be an adult to post to the Community)

  • the "bleep", we are not in kindergarrden
  • unexplained, inconsistant moderation
  • the "Report Button"... don't like it, don't read it...

     better yet, from the belly button above, give it a

     thumbs down, or hit the ignore button.

Here it comes!!! We are being "rewarded", just like we said we didn't want 😞

fly... it looks like this is just, yet another glitch from the poo flinging programmer monkeys...

everyone got the raise to, "Community Manager"... even the spammer with two posts on

hidy's Shockwave thread.

 

Ebay will continue "improving" our Community experience working on a simple premise...

never miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity to leave well enough alone.

 

fly, I am sure we will all be demoted, as soon as the monkey who pushed the wrong

button fixes his/her/it's mistake.

Hello ~ your friendly community manager checking in!

 

My post, #25,721 (wow), on the word game seems to sum it up nicely!

Welllll ... we've all been demoted again 😉

 

Are they going to take away the raise too? (or wasn't I supposed to mention that?) LOL

Blue people scare me.....blue people parts scare me....but blue people with blue parts with blue borders around their posts, really, really scare me!  IDs that say MOD really, really, really, scare the poodaddle  out of me even if they aren't blue!  Wonder if any of the blues pants are getting warm?

 

OK, let's get serious ~  please note that the blue couch matches my blue font color!
