A Nicer Knot

The message boards on The Knot are the most popular forums for brides across the country.
Much like blogging communities, it offers brides-to-be a place to find ideas, vendor reviews, answers, and other women who understand the planning process and actually care about what color scheme you’ve finally decided on.
Unfortunately, some of the Knot boards are notorious for catty women who leave mean replies to posts. Sure, lots of brides are silly and ridiculous. I myself have been a huge moron at times during the planning process. But some of these replies are downright NASTY.
Well, The Knot is finally policing their message boards. This was posted today:
Hey Knotties -
Lately, we’ve noticed that the content of the posts on this board has gotten out of hand. The Knot message boards are not the appropriate place for snarky and aggressive comments — the boards are a forum for brides and grooms to share ideas, vent about wedding related issues and communicate openly with one another. I understand things happen where people don’t get along, but constant offensive and rude postings aren’t what these boards are about.
From now on, any inappropriate posts will be deleted and bride banned permanently from boards - please consider this a final warning.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at messageboards@theknot.com.
Sincerely,
Knot Alejandra
Thank goodness! It’s about time.
