Has this been addressed somewhere? Why are there threads started by Mothering?

Initially, we wanted an "official" user name for promotions, contest, etc.  We have since begun using to post threads that we may share on facebook, twitter or other social media, without using member generated content.

Given the recent "Operation Blessing " debacle, I would like to see a clearly delineated distinction between Mothering editorial staff and advertisers/others who are posting on behalf of mothering.com.

 

Is it clear in the User Agreement that threads started by Mothering can appear in the social media? I suspected as much, which is why I asked my question. I will be choosing not to participate in those threads because I like the separation. I would hope that everyone would be able to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate.

I agree.
I became a supporting member in order to remove the barrage of ads and I'm distressed to find out that ads are inserted into the forums under the guise of legitimate discussions. I understand that everyone has to make a living so I became a supporter, but after collecting my money Mothering still subjects me to ads and highly offensive ones for that matter. I believe, in addition, that there has still been no formal site wide apology issued for promotion of "Operation Blessing".

Mothering is starting ads because they have alienated its members and they are leaving .  There is no one left to post anymore so they have to. this boards used to be be the busiest parenting board out there. Now its like a ghost town.

That is not possible.  Even if MDC starts a thread, the replies in the thread are "member generated content".  So...not possible.
