[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the problem is the numerous inane and petty threads posted again and again. It's just one dumb question after another.

"I need to take a day off to see a doctor so I don't die, is this ok?"

The list goes on and on and on and on.[/quote]

First of all, huge exaggerations there.

Second, so? All forums have some amount of inanity. Does that give you an excuse to be rude, or nasty? How does it feel? Because kind humans don't speak to others that way, even  anon.

Third, many of the nasty remarks have been about normal nanny issues, like guaranteed hours.

Fourth, you can call out inanity without being a jerk.[/quote]

This one is ironic as well.[/quote]

I'm the OP, and [u][b]I wasn't attempting to fan the flames or be ironic. [/b][/u]I would like this forum to at least be what it was last summer. There's always been shitty posters and there always will be, but as of late, it's been so bad, Jeff even had to come in and clean up one posting about Indian bosses because of the outright hatred. I read other sections of DCuM and it's not as nasty as it has become here, of late. 
I have really honest intentions. I wanted to ask for some very serious, heartfelt advice but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. But I can't post on the general parenting forum. I'm stuck here with a few decent folks over run by some trolls. [/quote]

hahaha, riiiiight.

DCUM is a joke and it's not actually a good resource.  It's quite misleading with inaccurate, exaggerated information (if you can call it that). 
We got much better and valid market intel from speaking with colleagues, neighbors, agencies and other online sites than anonymous DCUM.  New York City friends were most helpful at nanny terms, contract clauses, ways to structure things and how to communicate up front when interviewing.  I wouldn't waste time with any of the nanny posters on DCUM.

As for the petty mean girl comments, and obvious repeat posters having conversations with themselves, it just makes DCUM more of a joke and gives English-writing nannies a poor rep. [/quote]

I'm quiteaware of my options in information gathering. Relying on just one source would be silly. This board has a  huge potential and Jeff seems  like a caring person. You sound  angry, especially if you are the same poster that railed at the  just  being happy with her Mb. It's a nanny board, it can be about spreading joy as much as sharing information. [/quote]

So why don't you let Jeff do the job instead o attempting to be forum monitor?[/quote]
