******Attention! Attention! Attention!******

####### CUTE COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT ######

On behalf of Miss Veronika, Cuteembroidery.com owner, it gives me great pleasure to announce that in about a week, maybe two, there will be changes coming to CuteE that Miss V is hopeful, will please everyone.
Please be aware that, during the period of these changes taking effect, there may be unavoidable disruptions to CuteE, so your patience and understanding will be much appreciated.

Along with these website changes comes the appointment of four Moderators, who will, between them, set up and enforce rules for the site, in accordance with the wishes of Miss Veronika.
Please remember these moderators are appointed to ensure the smooth running of CuteE, they are not going to settle disputes between members nor will they accept complaints about other members.
All problems reported to one, will be reviewed by the four, for a ruling, on this we have already agreed.
There will be ZERO tolerance for trouble makers, propagating trouble by repeating insulting or nasty posts and name callers.
Your new moderators, in alphabetical order, are:
Jerrilyn, Cute ID (jrob);
Marji, Cute ID (marjialexa);
Martine, Cute ID (mops); and
Meg Anne, Cute ID (meganne)
It is hoped that, in time, you will come to appreciate the dedication these Cuties are prepared to give to make CuteE the most harmonious site on the Net.

Hugs n roses, Meganne

I agree with biddysews:

"The site may not have changed but the people are a little nicer and some seem to be more conscious on where they post" and this is a big change already.

Thank you, Meganne!
Hugs, Lidia

Aren't you sick of being so negative all the time????

sewist1 by sewist1 29 Aug 2012

Just the truth. It is strange. Why pick on me I didn't start the discussion?

keelylynn by keelylynn 29 Aug 2012

I don't think your statement was negative ... Are we not allowed to make statements on anything posted on this site without being "picked on" ?

Patience Cuties: These things take time. At least Ms Veronika hasn't shut the site down to do all the changes, we are still going on daily. I am sure things are happening, but maybe just not ready to be put into place.
I am just happy we can all still visit and keep in touch.

meganne by meganne 28 Aug 2012

Thank you Jerri. This is a HUGE website, with so much machine language required to create each individual page, trying to keep all the old content and links, in itself, is a major project, let alone trying to make improvements, it is good when SOME people understand what a huge undertaking this is, So on behalf of Miss Veronika, I thank you for your patience.

Yes Bettina, but I did explain that the moderators put forward a lot of new ideas to Miss Veronika and they all take a huge amount of time and research to create and implement. Patience Girlfriend. Hugs n love, Meg

by meganne 14 Aug 2012

Yes, I'm afraid nothing has changed yet and we are all still waiting, but the moderators have been putting their heads together with suggestions for improvements, to hopefully appease Cuties complaints, so perhaps Miss V is working on implementing some of these ideas.
If this is the case (and I am only assuming here) but I can almost guarantee Cuties will be even happier with the final outcome.
Hugs and roses to all, Meganne

meganne by meganne 28 Aug 2012

Yes, I'll admit it makes the messenger look bad when things don't happen as announced, but don't you know?
"Life is what happens, while you are busy making other plans." In other words, not everything runs as smoothly as we THINK it will.

biddysews by biddysews 29 Aug 2012

The site may not have changed but the people are a little nicer and some seem to be more concious on where they post and many have changed their acticity here. i for one have found better things to do and dont bother much with ineracting here or anywhere on the net.

I for one as well as many others am so glad that CuteE is getting an update and more moderators. I had at one point did not want to come on here because of the drama caused by some. It was very distracting and very child-like. (Just my opinion) I am looking forward to a fresh beginning for all of us. Cannot wait to see the changes.

First off-I would like to say-Congrats to Jerrilyn, Marji, Martine & Meg Anne(I alway thought your name was all one name Meg) I am sure you 4 ladies will do a great job at moderating-I like the diversity of locations. Secondly-can't wait to see what changes we will be seeing in the next few weeks. I just noticed I am about up for renewal soon-so I better get on the stick so I can continue the full benefits of the site ~linda~

I have read each response and for all of you who wish us well and will support our efforts, I thank you with all of my heart. Let's remember the caterpillar and the struggle to grow strong and beautiful as he tries to escape the cocoon. It takes time, patience, and strength to become that beautiful butterfly. I suspect that we will also feel that struggle on Cute, but the end results are well worth it. Hugs to you all and as Dilceia says, "a kiss to your heart." I just love that sentiment! ;)

Thank you mods for giving of your time.
I find it rather odd for years here there was no trouble to speak of, seems it only recently began. The ladies who have been chosen for moderators have been here a long time. So think about it!
If you gauge how long I have been here by the amount of my flowers you would probably be wrong. I have been here many years, just watching and learning from everyone. Only recently started contributing.

I've read each & every post, and given you all a flower, thank you so much for your support! Hopefully a change of names for the tabs will be something that's possible, because I agree that would make it much clearer where things should go. Please, please don't feel "chastised" or "picked on" if we suggest your post belongs in a different section. Until there are rules posted in a place everyone can get at them without searching, hopefully we're just gently steering you in the right direction. Since I don't think any of us are psychic, you can't know unless you're told something, right? Please understand it's just "steering the boat", ok, not coming down on anyone with both feet. That's never the intent. We hope to be fair & effective, and be able to have a fun community again, as well as give immediate help to those with embroidery and sewing questions. After all, embroidery help was the original reason for setting up this community in the first place, years ago. It just expanded from there. Our hope is to make everything helpful, harmonious and fun again, thanks for your votes of support in this endeavour. Mighty big hugs to all, Marji

by parkermom 30 Jun 2012

Id like to expand on the suggestions of hightechgrammy: Would it be possible to possibly rename the tabs and/or add more tabs so that it is clear where to post things? For example, embroidery on topic, humor, random, etc. Community means many different things to different people. I know that the rules will be posted, but lets make it as simple and easy as possible. No one wants to offend or be chastized. But every one of us has hurt someone's feelings in the past--maybe not here, but somewhere. Let's give each other a break and start fresh.

Parkermom, I, for one, agree wholeheartedly but these are suggestions that would be best made to Miss Veronika herself as it is her site and we will only be doing her bidding. Why don't you start a new post, calling for suggestions and I will direct Miss V to it so she can see what members are hoping for. Hugs n roses, Meganne

Pretty FREAKIN' sad that one of the main troublemakers is now going to be a moderator. What a waste of Veronica's time. Not that moderators aren't needed, they are, but to assign Meganne any responsibility is such a huge mistake. She is always the one starting crap, with all the members who don't bow down and kissed her special feet. She thinks because she has been here running her mouth for so long and so loudly, that she gets to bully everyone else. I hope someone comes to their senses and rethinks this decision. If not, I'm sure the numbers of members will continue to decline.

I agree. This would be nice. It might also be helpful to establish the rules in writing and post her so that everyone could see when they come on the site.

should be here not her

This is what we all hope for. Rules to follow give everyone an even playing field so there is no discrimination and less chance of hurt feelings. Hugs n love, Meganne

I don't know whether to congratulate you or send you my sympathy! What you have volunteered for is a time consuming and sometimes tough job, but once you get going I'm sure things will run smoothly. Every group needs and appreciates our organizers even though I don't thank them often enough. As I'm pretty new to this group, I look forward to getting what confuses me unconfused! Thanks for taking it on!

My apologies that I can not respond to everyone individually, but it is well after midnight here and Ray has just arrived home from work, so it is time for sleep. Oh Heavenly delight electric blanket and soft feather-down doona, here I come. It has been a long and happy day.
Good night one and all. Hugs and roses, Meganne

May I please make one suggestion? Maybe there could be an tab called something like "Lighthearted" When we read the postings in Private, those are usually pretty heavy duty, heart-felt, prayer request kind of things. Jokes, are fun, but they just don't "fit" in personal. Then community could be for mostly embroidery/sewing related topics. I hope Ms Veronika will consider something like this. Hugs, Jan

hightechgrammy by hightechgrammy 29 Jun 2012

Oops, I meant in Personal, not Private. My old brain is acting up again!

rescuer by rescuer 29 Jun 2012

It might be a good idea to make the Personal tab for members only and not a open forum page. So many cuties post way too much info in there including their vacation schedules and full names as well as addresses.

Wonderful Meganne and some may call me misserable, but I pray there will be a section of just embroidery related questions.The personal tab is wonderful too and I have personally asked for prayers by fellow cuties, who did not let me down.
that has meant a lot to me and I pray it will be the happy place again it once was.

Every group I have belonged to has at least one moderator and what Meganne mentioned as insults etc is called flaming! No Flaming allowed-period or elimination from the group. Every group in society needs rules to keep things running harmoniously.
I think the moderators and Mrs V should get together and set up a basic code of violations as preemptive rather than reactive after the fact as a good baseline.
Glad to hear.

Thanks for your input, we are all aware of the internet slang terminology and all aspects of management are under control of four VERY experienced ladies and one very determined owner, so rest assured the future of Cute embroidery is in good hands. Hugs n roses, Meganne

First and foemost a BIG thankyou to Miss V for her continued generosity in providing this site for us all to enjoy.
I agree it is time for moderators. I think in many ways this site has done well to have ticked along without moderators for so long. There has been the odd incident in the past, but just recently I have not liked a small amount of what I have seen and have even considered not visiting. It seems in life generally that a few can spoil something for the majority. I hope I have not offended any one with my comments they are directed at no one in particular just a general observation of how I have come to feel. I may add I joined this site just a few weeks after it was created (in 2005 I think?)and look forward to enjoying being here again.

Yayyyy!!!! I have not been spending that much time here of late because of the disharmony. Maybe this will improve things. Does this mean that comments and questions cannot be posted instantly - they have to first pass by moderators? Sometimes I ask a question about embroidery and have an answer within minutes. Will this not happen any more?

meganne by meganne 29 Jun 2012

Miss V is keeping the new format to herself just now, so even we 4 do not know how the new site will work.
I am not anticipating that posts will be moderated before posting, more likely that troublesome posts will be quickly removed. We will all know soon. :-)

We are all so lucky to have a person like Ms Veronika to enable us to follow our hobby of machine embroidery and sewing. Life would be so empty without a daily visit to Cute. Congratulations to the moderators and hopefully you will have little to do. Best wishes to all for the future. LOL Jillian
