What's good about this Community and how can we improve it?

Steve Bridger

Hello!

It's been a while since I asked such an open question to all of this wonderful community.

- what do you like about the Communities?

- what single thing can we improve?

- what gets your goat (I mean mean 'what', and not 'who')

- are you an 'answer' person? Why? what do you get out of it (and by the way, thank you for doing what you do)

- has the community helped you get stuff done, and make your life easier? 

- has the community helped you grow your network? Is that important to you? Are we friendly and welcoming?

- what would your #1 piece of advice be to those thinking about posting for the first time?

I'm not expecting you to answer these precise questions. They're simply a guide, a prompt... in case you need prompting :)  

I'm very keen to hear from as many of you as possible. 

Big caveat: I can't promise to implement any of your suggestions - you know, technology & resources and stuff. But I will listen. Listen well, and pass on your thoughts. And you never know. 

Feel free to email me directly at s.bridger@cipd.co.uk if you would prefer not to go public. On the other hand, I do encourage you to share your thoughts with your peers, below.

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Mark,


    No I was referring to other sites to see if there was 'best practice' to learn from. So in what way is the current alt text not meeting the law? If you hover over my image you will see it is my copyright - I purchased the rights from the photographer - otherwise it would be their name there. Is this too hidden? One alternative would be for the site to watermark the image with the name of the copyright holder/ photographer?


    Edit posts


    The option to edit posts for a limited time is a good one - the LinkedIn discussions allow 15 minutes, I think a 1 day limit would be of value on a professional board?


    Integration


    As others have said improved (smart) integration with other parts of the site would be of significant value. The site already offerers "intelligent" tags as a suggestion - the same technology could put links to jobs, fact sheets or articles in the right-hand margin 


    Tone and emotions


    While this is a professional board it easy to misinterpret someones tone - it would be helpful if we had limited a range of emoticons which could be used to help convey the tone of the contribution - happy, angry, confused, serious, playful, hurt, embarrassed etc..


    Regards, Mike
