Hey awesome WA Biz Builders

Just a quick blog this morning as I feel this is really important for all of us within WA

Wealthy Affiliate is an amazing platform however there is a bit of ardgy bardgy that goes on here and some other stuff that's been noticed by members so I thought it worth a mention.

Good Cop- Bad Cop

Firstly it is so amazing to see more and more new members leaving comments on WA blogs supporting, questioning, disagreeing, teaching, adding all sorts of different messages and well done all of you. - Good Cop talking.

Also, you will see a lot of spamming going on especially with new members as these guys obviously don't know the rules and will give anything a shot to get noticed

Then we have the people who will write anything just to move their ranking down.

And unfortunately we also have people who by reading the comments they have left, have not actually read the blog, but still add a comment any way.

Also, we have members writingreally great comment to support other members- Thank you

Commenting on blogs

When you open a blog, if you are not really interested in it, please just move on and go comment on someone else s blog.

The insincerity can be seen and felt from members who read your comment.

Also I have seen Ambassadors commenting on obvious self promotion blogs telling the member- What a wonderful post they have written with no mention of it being against the WA rules. Surely if you are an Ambassador you can tell within a few seconds what a self promoting blog is and sometimes you can't be all marshmallow on every post. Sometimes you have to play bad cop in a respectful way to help people learn what is appropriate.

Just like children. Boundaries are important and its not always cup cakes and candy floss.

There will always be rules and there will always be game players but please before you comment, READ the blog.

Ranking games are hideous and sincerity will always win out in the end so be honest, be truthful and be respectful.

Yesterday Jim jkulk got abused by a member for no reason and this needs to stop.

This is a BUSINESS PLATFORM not a place to be rude or arrogant.

The Rules clearly state NO RELIGIOUS POSTS, NO POLITICAL POSTS AND NO SELF PROMOTION- How hard is this to understand and respect.

Yesterday, one member said it was OK to do a religious blog in a comment and then in another comment to another member said it was not OK. Go figure.

Loes- 1490 days as an Ambassador has taken a break and from reading between the lines of her blog, she too has seen and experienced the game playing.

This is a Business Platform filled with people from all walks of life, different cultures, different religions, personal beliefs, talents, skills and more and if we all behave like professionals WA will shine a much brighter light for everyone.

Normally my blogs are positive up beat and hopefully helpful but this morning I had to write this because some changes need to happen within WA

On a really bright note before I go- I have noticed more and more new people using live chat and it is so great to see all the help given by different members who are spending time in there so well done you guys and gals for getting amongst it- Thank you

OK, enough said- Lets keep WA as the BEST BUSINESS PLATFORM on the Internet by playing fair :)

This is Good Cop-Bad Cop signing out - lol

and remember

and I really love this one too


Go well Awesome Business Owners and make today another success building day

It's the members like you Vicki that I find myself getting the generous and correct information from over and over and that keeps me going in the right direction as I learn the ropes. Thank you sharing this and being there for the rest of us!

hi Shea
Always good to be able to help however I too make mistakes but hopefully I can always be a positive influence around the platform
Go well and enjoy success along the way
All the very best heading into 2019
Vicki

We are all adults here and I don't understand why people just can't be considerate and helpful. As the old saying goes, if you can't say something nice - don't say anything at all.

Hi Lynne

Yes, I don't get it why people have to be false and fixated on ranking and will do anything to see their number go down.
Also abusing people is not ok at all.
Thank goodness for really decent people like you who I see doing a great job when you are here especially in live chat.

I felt this needed to be shared as there are many people needing to stop the nonsense and get real and start being grown-ups 24/7 as this really is not the place to be childlike in behaviour that's for sure
Thanks for your input Lynne and if I don't chat before- Enjoy the festive season and I hope 2019 brings you lots of wonderful successful adventures
Vicki

thanks you Vicki for high lighting these issues and making us aware. It is not ok to play games in this type of platform, and a little bit of common courtesy goes a long way. All the best my friend, Cass

Hi Cass bomb- As always you got it kid- You rock and you are a genuine soul and I value you my friend
Go build
Vicki

That is a very powerful message Vicki, but it had to be said and I agree with you. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Michael
good to see you this morning and Yes, I agree it needed to be shared and I just hope all the people that think they are above the rules and also the game players take a look at themselves and start behaving in a more grown-up manner as it sure will make WA a better place to engage in

Thanks as always
Michael
Vicki

I like your post. As the saying goes, "do unto others what you would like them to do to you". If you follow love, truth, honesty, and respect you will always be on the safe side. Thanks for sharing.

Yes Delores and hopefully more people will learn this is how it should be
The game playing and rudeness needs to stop
Thank you for your input
Vicki

Once again, you are right Vicki!

The false Good Cop attitude and the malevolent Bad Cop attitude are both dangerous ... And yes, unfortunately they exist ...

As Einstein said ... Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character ...

Hey Zed

Absolutely and some of the c.... comments here sure says a lot my friend
Einstein - so true

Vicki

Feeling better?

Hopefully the answer is a strong yes!

I don’t know Loes very well yet but it did seem like she needed a break and that there was more to it. She seems awesome and I hope to benefit from her experience and teachings.

I do know of a few other people who have gotten away from the chat because of drama. For me it seems like if I asked a question and reword it to get a fuller answer people will snap at me that I have my answer. Well if someone tells me to do something I already am doing then I actually do NOT have my answer.

Also I have said I don’t under stand the video in chapter xxxxx and someone will say well watch this then and actually link the video xxxxx. If people want to help then actually do it. If people are blog hoping for rank it will be obvious when most of their posts just say hello or keep up the good work etc. It isn’t easy starting out. New members should remember also that a lot of questions they have might have already been asked 10 times in the last few hours so patience when people take the time to answer it yet again. Thanks for the post. I think it just comes down to people being genuine and taking a moment to learn the rules.

Hey Jason

Yes, I have seen you wear some heavy blows and keep your cool
People need respect and also honesty
Sometimes we have to say things that are a little less mushy to help people learn as everything is not always sugar coated and honesty is always best served in a real truth as you do so thank you
All the best today
Vicki

Hi Vicki,

Well said. I would like to add that these blogs that are written on this platform also get ranked on google. Which means the world of internet can also see what is said and who is saying it. So a bad comment can harm a personal presence on the internet.

A person with a bad personal presence on the internet will not be trusted by the world and may affect their income.

Food for thought when you leave a comment. Bad Cop #2.

Laura

Hey Laura

Yes, of course, I didn't even consider this when I wrote this and a good reminder to people- Thank you.

You always have such great input Laura- You rock :)
Vicki

Once again...spot on Vicki.
Could not have said it better myself.

Cheers!
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Thank you
I feel it had to be said as it gets a bit much in here sometimes lol
Enjoy today
Vicki

I seem to be a pretty good "Bad Cop"
One of the spin offs of that is I get PMs ...
from like minded Bad Cops and Good Cops alike.

Albert knew what he was on about.

Good morning my friend
Yes Albert was brilliant
lol I get pm's too Lawrence and bring it on as I'm getting real tired of all the insincerity and mushy meaningless comments and also the ranking games
I can see why Loes went on a months break :)
You rock- glad to have you here and always value your input
Vicki
