User blog comment:RePeat/Community Poll on Message Walls/@comment-7855039-20130627034219

I voted no.

I can pretty much agree with what LBB and Peat said below, but I have my own two cents to put in.

@Admins: I just want you guys to think about the importance of this poll. IMO, the admins should have other things on the top of their to-do list. But since everyone has found this topic extremely important for some reason, here is my reasoning:

@Everyone: Privacy. I like my privacy. True, anyone can go on anyone's talk page, but at least they don't up in Wiki History. And for those that think no one even looks at Wiki History, I do. :P Also: How long does it take to change it back to talk pages? Not long, I think, based on my knowledge. :P Just a week ago, many people on chat were saying how message walls were a terrible idea. But now, what happened? You are scared of change?

@Obi: Hello my debating buddy. :P Here are your words in the comments below: When people were talking about how people join into your conversations with message walls, you said: ''"Just ask people to stop getting involved. Maybe we could implement a rule about not butting into other people's messages?" ''My response: No. Your kidding, right? If you did make that rule, it would be mostly useless. People would still READ what you are saying, that rule would only make it so you can't COMMENT. The admins might tell you not to read people's walls, but people still will. READING people's messages is what people are worried about, the commenting is just a step further. The rule that you said would limit commenting, (that's good) but the privacy level would be low because ANYONE can still read your message on a message wall.

@Everyone: Hope I didn't upset anyone, just wanted to state my opinion. :)
