We do not encourage criticism of other support communities. Critical Thinking is mandatory on WoN; libel and gossip are not. 
Many people browse numerous message boards, looking for a community that fits. We encourage people to seek a comfortable fit in a group reflecting personal interests and values. The people in the community eventually create their own style and atmosphere. You'll like some of those communities and you won't like others. That's a fact.
Each person has the responsibility to find the right community for themselves. It's YOUR choice and it's YOUR life. Do what's best for you even if that means participating in several online groups. The connecting thread between all internet support groups is ending our isolation.
Occasionally, members disagree with management policies and if so, they are encouraged to ask administrators for clarification. Sometimes, a disagreement is irresolvable. When this happens, forum members can serve their own best interests by joining another community more in alignment with personal needs and wants.
It's distressing for everyone when we are unable to resolve disagreements/conflicts. Members may need to step away and reflect about 'what went wrong' before joining another online group. If that's the case, take your time browsing support communities to see when and if you are prepared to rejoin another online community.
1-Any messages containing negative references to other support groups will be edited by managers.
2-Continued disparagement of other support groups will result in termination of membership.Disagreements and misunderstandings are inevitable on a 'recovery' forum, especially a community of N-survivors. We may need to join several communities before finding one facilitating long-term healing.
Remember: most forums are organized and maintained by volunteers. We
will have disagreements from time to time. Keeping those disagreements to ourselves will protect not only our own integrity, but also the integrity of the WoN community.
Love,
Charlotte
