The Bump Discussion Boards VENT
I have just recently got onto The Bump because DH and I are thinking about TTC early next year and so I posted about getting some advice on The Bump - Babies on the Brain page and I am getting reamed out constantly for saying that another bumpie's DH would probably change his mind when it comes time to TTC. Apparently that was taken by other people on that board that I was saying she was going to get pregnant very quickly, etc. I was warned by my SIL about how nasty these girls are sometimes on The Bump Discussion boards but this was a little much. I have now resulted to private messaging individuals if I have a comment. I may stick with the Delaware Nesties.

So sorry to hear that TB users have created an unwelcoming experience for you. This is something the team takes very seriously and are working to address.
While it is going to take time, TB has some immediate solutions coming as well as some bigger goals. Not only did the rules change over there, but there are over 70 moderators now and the flagging systems seems to really be helping. They have implemented a strict warning system that will give users a chance to change, but if they do not, their actions will lead to a quick banning from the boards.
The Bump has over 330,000 active users on the boards and that number is growing rapidly. Even if only 1% bring a bad attitude to the boards, that's 3,300 users a day, which is a challenge for any company to police. That challenge, however, needs to be answered and they are 100% focused on doing just that!
Please feel free to continue to share your feedback with me so I can communicate it over to TB. You can even email the team your concerns: community@thebump.com.
Our goal is truly to make our communities the best possible place for our users and that can only be achieved by hearing from you directly.
Just back off for now, but you are always welcome here! Post away!
So I read the post that you're refering to, and I do want to agree with them on one thing. saying it will happen when its supposed to can be very hurful to people struggling to get pregnant. if you stay here, or on the bump you'll see the heartbreak that comes along with TTC for some people and learn to really watch how you use your words.
I don't take offense to what you said but it reminds me of something my sister said when I finally got pregnant after almost 2 years of trying. "see you just needed to relax and look you got pregnant!" that was very hurtful to me and I explained to her why. If I can't get pregnant via IUI or IVF, just relaxing isn't going to do the trick.
I think if we don't let our own emotions get in the way of comments people make, we can actually grow to be stronger and more well rounded people.
