Weddingbee boards
I swear I will never post to theknot again! I have experienced nothing but snarky, stuck up, mean people on that board! Judgemental jerks!
One poster on my local board was looking for a lime green bridesmaid's dress, well I have one that I offered to her for FREE! And then someone reports me for being a vendor and then goes back and reports every one of my posts as a vendor. Holy cow, I was just trying to connect with other brides and share experiences about my wedding planning and if I found a vendor I loved and who was awesome...I wanted to let other know...they might benefit from it. And because I offered a bridesmaid dress (that I bought and couldn't use) to another bride for FREE, I am a vendor. Total crap
I guess I am just used to you bees who always are so friendly and helpful. I am going to stay here. Lesson learned!
I've actually never used The Knot's board, and from what I've read from other brides, I'm glad I never bothered!
Hey,
I haven't had those problems, my only problems are that every one of my posts no one else can see them... At the beginning it worked great, but now for some strange reason NO ONE can see my posts, I'm getting anoyed by it. Their support thing is not the greatest either.
Just thought i'd share my problems, so far i'm enjoying the bees
@cincychick35:that is ridiculous! Isn't there a way that you can argue that you're not a vendor?
yea i got off the Knot. They were sooooo judgemental & called everyone a troll! They would make fun of EVERYONE and it got old quick!
@joy2011: I could, but I don't think it is worth my time. I offered this bride a bridesmaid dress for FREE...common sense dictates I am not a vendor. If I was, I wouldn't be offering to give things away for free! 
I actually haven't seen much drama over there but I don't post because I hate the layout. I don't want to scroll past 45 million tickers, pictures, and signatures in order to read the actual comments.
I've shared this link before. Through that thread I actually found the bee. It's fitting.
Haha if you're giving dresses away, you are not doing the "vendor" thing right!
I agree, I think the site is actually really confusing. Maybe it's just me, but I find it incredibly hard to navigate!
I am former Knottie this is the case a lot of the time. There are some really good girls on there though.
i go there sometimes and i find that sometimes they are rough, but personally i have never had a problem
I found theknot to be horrible. I was asking a question about a cash bar, and they were calling me a selfish cow. Like I should save for 5 years of my life to help all my friends and family get drunk. No thank you.
i find the knott a bit too much for me, like i'm too poor! lol but i only go to see the pictures, that's all! :)
I've never used the one on their website, but I used to have that "Wedding 911" app that is made by The Knot, and that was RIDICULOUS! so much b*tchiness, I ended up deciding that I didn't need all that negativity around me and deleted it!
Did anyone else have a problem with it?
Just the other day I posted that I kind of liked the Knot better because people were most honest. Well, I guess I was reading all the wrong threads because someone (I think it was Kendall?) posted some threads where she was attacked. And those chicks were SO MEAN it was unbelievable. Of course they didn't think so, they thought they were jsut being honest and blunt. It really made me appreciate this site more....but I haven't ever had any problems over there, besides the super annoying layout.
I never used the boards at the Knot...in fact, it took me forever to realize they even had boards. their layout is wayy too busy!
@KendallR10: I think it was...you posted the links on the Bee, right? The one where the girl said your guests would be eating deceitful sheet cakes, or something
i was on truu confessions and someone was complaining about the Knotties there as well - its hard work to have a bad reputation internationally but yet they manage to have one
@KendallR10 I was just on theknot asking other brides that delt with the not a wedding thing to let me know how they were handling it and I made the mistake of not only posting it, but on the military. You were refrenced and I'm sorry you had to deal with that too. I am no longer on that site as of today due to the attacks. and the first attack came from that girl that's over a year past her wedding and over 10,000 posts she actually told me she was just telling me what my friends and family were saying behind my back. I tried to delete it so that it would just stop but you can't delete! My husband wants me to leave it alone now it casued slight anxiety for me to be on there any ways. Hope to have a better experience here! :D
@molliechristine: holy cow! I just went over there to see what everyone was talking about. Good lord! I want to ask when the surgery is to remove the stick they have jammed up their butts lol. They are really snotty and I can't believe they don't see it. I hope this is just thier internet persona!
@molliechristine: They seem to say that a lot "this is just what your friends and family are saying behind your back". How would they know - don't you know your friends and family best???
I also hate The Knot boards. I have never come across such bitchy and rude women in my entire life. It's like they have nothing better to do than sit around and make other people feel like shit. Granted not ALL of them are this way, but it's the general tone over there.
God forbid you try to be nice--they bitch at you for "disrupting the established tone of the board." LOL.
I feel better just knowing that not everyone feels the way they seem to. I'm liking this site already. And the disclaimer of wanting Brides to keep it friendly!
@molliechristine: This is the rainbows and happiness place. < that is bull. I can be very honest
This site isn't always rainbows and unicorns but most of the time constructive "criticism" is given. :) I enjoy coming here. It has become part of my daily routine! lol
@KendallR10: I like honesty but not the 'blunt honesty' they seem to have on that site. I know not everyone has the same opinions and this isn't the 'perfect happy go lucky site of no drama' but it's nicer. I'm a happy person so I try to keep things light.
OMG! I can't believe someone else had problems with theknot. I thought it was just me. Those ladies are the bitchiest people I have ever met in my life. I have been attacked SO many times on that board, more then I can count. I can't post anything because all I get are rude comments and answers. I feel like those boards are like a high school clique, and only a select few can 'join.' I am sooooo beyond happy I found this website. Everyone is so understanding, non judgemental, and helpful.
@molliechristine: Its a bunch of stay at home women who hate their lives
Once I said 'soon-to-be fiance' and you would not believe what they were saying back to me. They were calling me stupid, dumb, immature...blah blah blah, because they don't like that word. You wouldn't believe what things they were saying. I wish I had the thread so I could post it. Being on that board made me so mad all the time because of how rude they were to me.
@KendallR10: just because they disagreed with you, doesn't mean they hate their lives lol. Sure, they weren't all rainbows and butterflies and names got called or whatever, (ya I read the threads) but they were all trying to give you GOOD advice.
@Bostonsmom: There is a difference between giving advice and attacking someone. Everytime I posted I was attacked. Even after I was going to tell
Personally, I've posted maybe three times total there and the first response I had to a question about venues was way too bitchy for my taste. I understand witty responses or even a heated response to a very debatable topic, but bitching about a general question is just uncalled for in my book. I love the WB because people here are polite and courteous, even when when we're not all in agreement. I think the people who post on the knot just forget how good it feels to just be nice and kind to others.
