Private Conversations

[Norcalbaker59]

As some of you can tell, I have private conversations with bakers on this site. Bakers approach me privately for a variety of reasons.

I have no problem having these private conversations ABOUT BAKING ONLY when approached.

But I do have a problem with people sending me private messages who have never engaged on this forum. Bakers do not necessarily have to engage with me directly, but they do need to engage on this forum.

I do not respond to private messages from those who have not engaged on this forum. So please do not send me a private message and expect a reply.

I completely understand your stance on private messages. It makes sense to prioritize communication with those who are actively participating in the forum. Engaging with the community helps build trust and ensures that conversations are more meaningful and relevant. I appreciate you setting clear boundaries to manage your interactions. It’s a good reminder for all of us to be active participants and not just lurkers.

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I completely understand your perspective on this. It’s important to maintain an active and engaged community, and your policy makes sense to ensure that interactions remain relevant and meaningful. It’s great that you’re open to discussing baking-related topics in private messages, but also reasonable to set boundaries for those who haven't participated in the forum.

I’m sure this helps keep conversations more focused and prevents any potential misuse of private messaging. Thanks for clarifying your stance!
