Updated Design and Structure
March 2004
|
The new conversation
areas focus on what issues currently 'mean' to people and
what would be their 'ideal'. We believe this creates a more
open-ended conversation, a greater focus on where common ground
lies and opportunities for good ideas to emerge. Previous conversations
have been put into an open archive
area or a new area for more specialised
topics. We hope you like the updated designs on the homepage. |
New Feature - DialogueTrack
February 2004 |
A much needed method for tracking comments. Very
easy to use and provides all users with their own personal area
listing all their previous comments. Enter my
area. |
Press - Articles and Scans
November 2003 - present |
A range of press
reports covering the BIG conversation. |
Ongoing Confusion with Labour's Big Conversation
November 2003 - present |
Labour have refused to acknowledge any confusion
over using the same name and concept. They refused to even say
where their name came from. Offers by Planetary Tribe to co-ordinate
data received in error, to clarify the situation or for Labour
MP's to take part in some way, were ignored or refused. Our
figures indicate 10's of thousands may have come to this site
in error. Labour refuse to talk with us except through their
lawyers and have forced us to explore expensive legal action.
The survey findings have been shared with the Labour Party but
they have yet to acknowledge them or to respond. Perhaps this
is because 95% of people believe the BIG conversation should
be free from political control? Many people have been moved
by the situation to offer support so we will keep you posted.
If you would like to offer support please get
in touch. This website has over 50 times more comments to
view (and respond to) than Labour's conversation. Thanks to
everyone who has supported a free, open and independent BIG
conversation. View
emails and comments meant for The Labour Party. |
Introduction of the Sin-Bin
December 2003 |
Faced with the need to balance non-censorship
with wishing to maintain a high quality forum area we introduced
the 'sin-bin'.
Any comments we feel are designed to intentionally disrupt,
go against our guidelines or may be illegal are moved to the
sin-bin area. If people wish to read and respond in the sin
bin area they can but these will not be allowed to clog up the
main forum areas. Let us know of any comments you feel we should
place here. |
Dialogue v Debate
December 2003 |
A new link on the home-page to highlight
the important differences between dialogue
and debate. |
| New Survey |
A new survey will be up on the site in early 2005.
