Nominations for Lyla Member of the Month - November

Recommended Posts

Guest lydiahardwood

I'm happy to say that the wonderful @clearbluesky15 is our winner for October! 🤗 I nominated him for being kind, giving recommendations and generally being a great addition to the board. I must be a good judge of character because our judges agreed! 😉

So who will win member of the month for November? Please get your nominations in and remember you have until 30th to nominate. 

PS, can you believe this is our penultimate one for the year?! Oh 2020, you've been... interesting.

I would like to nominate Greenteal.  He's on Lyla regularly not just contributing posts but starting threads in a number of different forums that yield discussion.  For this reason I'm recommending Greenteal for November member of the month

from Twitter she is amazing and @couragenikki

Sadly Cristy is banned form Lyla.  I would have voted for her as well but she is no longer a member here.

Agree with RG, Greenteal is a great contributing member and deserves to have a nomination for member of the month.

Maybe her ban could be revisited and reconsidered.  It took place a few years ago when she was banned. Maybe she could be allowed to rejoin

Of course thats a decision for those at a higher pay grade than me LOL but if she was allowed to return its a decision I for one would support

  Thanks for the nominations. But from replies I'm receiving, I'm more likely to be voted best candidate(after Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein and Vladimir Putin) to be shot out of a cannon into an active volcano. LOL

We had a discussion about this quite recently and our position still stands. If she were to reach out and express interest in joining I'd love to have a chat with her. But from what I have seen I find this unlikely. 🙂

Well all my comments have to be approved prior to them being made public.  Fine and dandy I  accept that like all my knuckle wraps. I understand the rule if you don't have anything nice to say......  I will likely get in trouble for this.  I admit I  have put toes over the line  . Sometimes I feel like this is Disneyland or some fantasy world. I guess if you speak the truth and its not nice you are wrong, wrong, wrong. I don't want to argue but life is not a fairytale. I'm trying to think of a "better " way to explain this but I  cant at the moment.   I am not  trying to suggest we insult each other constantly but isn't reality a part of life?  

Cristy tells it like it is and that is a fact. She can be right a lot as well. 🙂

I’m not sure exactly what happened to punish Cristy, but after a time and some thought, perhaps another chance should be granted! As Katherine has pointed out, we all make mistakes and at some time, deserve another opportunity to make amends! Total banishment seems quite harsh! Just my 2 cents worth! I would love to have either Notch or Greenteal interviewed! Both fine members who add SO MUCH to Lyla!

     I understand your frustration, but there ways to be blunt and honest without crossing the line. Using humor and constructive arguments helps smooth out comments that could otherwise be taken the wrong way. Also, it's far more acceptable to post general criticism than target a single person. This approach worked relatively well for me so far, even if I received my share of slaps on the wrist.

Lyla will not be the same without Greanteal and NotchJohnson 🥰.  Have not met Greanteal yet but NotchJohnson is a gentleman and oh...cute too 😉

Hey Katherine,

Pre-approval isn't on for you btw - that's only for new members and recommendation threads 🙂 I agree with you that reality is a part of life which is why we're trying to do realistic interviews showing the raw, human side to the industry. I wouldn't want this board to be always fluffy and positive because that's just not realistic and not necessarily healthy either, I don't think.

As for Cristy, I don't know her personally and I'm sure she's a great lady. But she's consistently written negative things about Lyla so I can't imagine she would want to be part of the community again. If that changes I'd welcome her to send me a message on Twitter but until then can we please refrain from discussing her as I don't want this to turn gossipy. 

Thank you! ❤️

Notch, Greanteal or Roaming Guy are all good long term members but I have not been around in quite a while so I will leave the nominations to others.
