Yesterday, we sent an apology to @Elad n:
Hello,

We’d like to apologize for the way our messages may have come across. We did not realize that it may be perceived in the wrong way.

We did not mean to offend you or to imply anything negative about you. We only meant that the avatar has some negative aspects associated with it for some people, but many people do not share those feelings, e.g., because they have not seen the movie.

We understand that your intention was not to offend anyone, which is why we were bringing it to your attention.

Unfortunately, we should have brought it to your attention in a better way.

We hope you will accept our apology.

@Elad n responded, and we had an open and professional conversation. He explained his side and we clarified ours.

We also had a great conversation with @MapleDots via NamePros DM. He helped us understand some things that had not occurred to us.

For example, we didn't realize that the current procedure would cause a problem because we've been using it for 5 years with hardly any resistance, but the part that we overlooked was that most members don't know about it. There's also less confusion when the avatars are more problematic (e.g., racist).

After talking with him, it's clear to us that we've made some mistakes. Fortunately, the procedures are being updated, and there will be guidelines available soon.

Update: Guidelines added.

Thank you to @MapleDots for your advice and guidance. It's always appreciated.

Hi

when you speak of what is relevant, in an environment,
then you have to consider all that is relevant to each participant.

when you speak of professionalism and being professional,
then are you being professional,
when or if you make decisions that effect members based on "expectations"

and those expectations which are not rules, but according to post, should be given same weight as rules...
however, if that is true then they should be called rules, and not expectations.

check this:
I expect to earn $0.85 a click, but the name didn't meet that
do I delete it, because it didn't meet expectations?
or do I leave it alone, hoping it will do better in future?

or

you might expect your kid to be a doctor, cuz you was surgeon
but they decided to be a cook and didn't meet your expectations

do you disown your child?
or do you go eat at his restaurant?

there is clarity in a rule, and there must be flexibility with any expectation.
I suggest you guys review your expectations list, along with the list of adjectives and the one sentence applications, you put next to each
there are too many scenarios, where any of them can be used as a weapon against another member, just because they aren't mature enough to handle criticism

imo..




I wonder if LinkedIn had used slogan worded like that, how many users would they have?

certainly doesn't sound welcoming or friendly

imo...


also, note to @Riz M.
don't get caught up in labels, just keep doing what you been doing,
let the domains continue to speak for themselves.
cuz, from my perspective, you have exceeded expectations, and i only expected you to listen. :)

imo...
Thanks for kind words and been always supporting :)
i will keep doing what i am doing and will do more struggle :)
Thanks

All of us. I think she reads the forum even though she is logged out. I hope so...

She has commented on blogs so I think Kate is reading.

Not really. That is easy to judge.

Morality is not easy to judge, one person believes XXX pornography is out of line another person thinks a music video or woman in a swimsuit is over the line.

Elad told me that he had a conversation with 3 options for coming back. So that's good you getting somewhere.

As promised, the procedures and guidelines were updated.

Here are the updated guidelines:
The guidelines also include some professional new avatars that anyone can use on NamePros. There are plans to add more avatars in the future, including some with different personalities.

Here’s what to expect with the updated guidelines:
  1. New registrations will continue to be required to adhere to the full guidelines.
  2. Existing members will continue to be required to adhere to the most important aspects of the guidelines, such as when avatars are very unprofessional or problematic (incite hate, racism, violence, etc.)
  3. In the future, there will be an announcement about stricter enforcement of the avatar requirements for existing members. At that time, we will politely ask members to update their avatar if they believe that it doesn’t fully meet the requirements. Some time later, we will post a reminder that the deadline is approaching. Once the deadline passes, we will enforce the full requirements whenever it comes to our attention that an avatar is not compliant.

We believe that this is a fair way to apply the changes and give the community some time to adjust.

If you have any questions, please contact support.

Thank you for all your valued feedback.
