ok i think some things need to be cleared up here.

the reason why we need actual names, or some semblance of your actual names on the tagboard is because this is a family blog. it needs to be family friendly. and since there are a multitude of visitors here, all of different ages, there has to be some restrictions, rules and regulations governing the blog. we dont not want the children to be exposed to negativitites.

We have so far assumed that all users on this blog will bear responsibility for what they write here on the tagboard. but this has not been the case.

the administrators are ultimately responsible for whatever happens here on this blog. we can be made liable for all the posts and information posted here. but the tagboard is beyond our control. anyone can come, post negativities and leave, without having to bear any responsibility. and the blame will fall on the administrators for not exercising due care and control.

so our plea is to at least own up to what you're responsible for here. you can use any name you want, just make sure we are all informed on who you are. it's a simple request.

my tags on the tagboard were not the first reminder to make yourselves known. there has been previous posts by Abang Man, Munirah and Kak Ani for everyone to stop using pseudonyms (fake names).

rest assured that the tagboard is removable. if the administrators feel that the tagboard is becoming a hindrance we will not hesitate to remove it.

however, that would be our last resort. we like having the tagboard; we think it's a good medium by which everyone can have a say. but like they say, freedom comes with responsibility. but if responsibility is not being exercised, that freedom will have to be taken away.

and if you feel that it is unfair that the administrators have too much exposure to the blog, i would like to point out that anyone is free to submit posts. while you may not be able to do it directly, you are welcome to email your news or idea to anyone of the administrators, and we will post them for you, without any credit to ourselves.

so i hope this clears things up.

PS: i would like to also ask that anyone who is not happy for any reason about how things are done on the blog to please come and tell us directly and not by posing as other persons (or God forbid another administrator). you are more likely to be taken seriously if you were direct with us.
