@Former-Member To be straight forward here - consulting with people with lived experience does not matter at all IF they do not or have not actually been part of the forum. We can pretend that this consultation is ticking boxes however to completely overlook those actually using this platform is not just an oversight but more frankly it is devaluing. Surely those actually using the service should be the first people consulted - this is not just a failure in the consultation but a 'slap in the face' to all of us here that so readily voice our concerns (regularly) that the people actually affected by such changes/policies etc. are never the ones actually consulted with ....over 32,000 members and not one consulted with - a ready made audience for consultation yet none involved ...this goes beyond disappointment - it actually denigrates all users to the bottom of the barrel and by default says we have no voice. I would ask "when will those actually affected by such changes - whether it be changes on the forums, changes in policies, changes in an organisation's vision, etc. - be involved in these changes?"
