Take the Fright Out of Breast Cancer™

Is anyone else getting their private email inbox at home flooded with announcements from the bco moderators every time someone posts on this thread? I removed this thread from my fav lists in hope of stopping that practice.

For some reason email notification was checked for several of my favorite topics. I don’t recollect checking that unless the default is now email notification. Hmmm.

Well, it took one month, two days of outcry from a small portion of the BCO community (just think of what it would have been if we posted about this thread on the ones we "live" on) before we got a weak "We will be reevaluating this campaign." It's a start but we won't know the truth until next year. Let's hope it isn't lip service. I, personally, am suspending my yearly contribution to BCO until after next Pinktober.

moderators = get me off your email list for this thread. I've already removed it from my favorites, unchecked the box for email updates, and sent and email to tech support but the emails keep coming. HELP!! What else do I need to do?

Another great post Traveltext

wildplaces...thanks re: email glitches. I'll wait a bit and see what happens/

I can remove it from favourites.

I have been flooded with email notifications for post on my favourites list that I did not request - by clicking on the request email link...so I then clicked and unclicked everything - did not work.

The only way to Not flood my email box was to undo the fav list - i delete my fav list.

I added only fav again " shadow in chest is a recurrence" I still get the unsolicited email on posts - but it's a few rather then tens of...

I believe same thing as magiclight...😊

Let's see if this get an email...

Wildplaces, I'm with you that an impactful marketing campaign should reflect what an organization does. I used (earlier) the analogy that BCO is a bridge over troubled waters. So, we have a similar viewpoint. Make a campaign that shows WHAT YOU DO!!

And it cannot be said enough: you cannot remove the fright at any level - not until there is a cure. My distaste (putting it mildly) is not just the cutesy styling (which is honestly just embarrassing), but any assertion that fright CAN be removed. It can't and won't and SHOULD NOT be removed. It's a completely inaccurate and misguided handle.

If I were a corporate sponsor, I'd be more impacted by the harsh realities, the fact that Fear is a constant companion for millions of people, that this site is that tree, that bridge over troubled waters. ACKNOWLEDGE. Don't pretend that you are the magical fairy that can wave its wand and remove the fear, Mods.

Honestly, I'm just completely stunned. I know your ball is in motion, but it's wrong, it's insulting to the breast cancer movement, it's belittling to the good that you do. Look within this upset here: you have literally been handed your new campaign through all of this. No better marketing research exists. No marketing consultant necessary. The right basis for branding is right here on this thread.

And if the above objective reasoning doesn't mean much to you, I will for once in this thread get personal. Never has any thread in the history of all discussion boards I've ever followed affected me like this. I feel like crying when I see what you've created. I feel like crying on behalf of all those women (and some men) who are going to have imaging done this week and hear it's not just a cyst.

I just share that with you because I'm trying to offer you real input based on my years as a marketer, and my time being a community member here - one of your clients (and that is what I am). This hits me at the core that you - in 2017 - represent this experience in this manner. The more time that elapses, the more damage done.

I could develop an effective marketing research survey and conceive a marketing campaign that would speak to your donors, celebrate what you do, and honor your community. For free. Because I also managed a market research group in my career. the offer still stands...

I thought the email glitch was because I only use my iPhone. After the upgrades IT put on this site. I told the mods, they said they’d report it.

HA!!

I turned off everything, logged out, and still get e mail notifications

So my dd showed me how to send it to trash, like spam. Because it is.

Thank you - done that several times - it fixes the problem temporally then back it starts up again...

I will delete the fav ( again...) and start up from scratch and who knows??

Outfield, your clinical experiencs combined with your personal experiences give you a unique view on the Great Halloween Shamozzel of 2017. I have a blogging pal from the UK who is a breast surgeon and nothing prepared her for the psychological impact of this disease on her personally.

Mods, if you intend to take on board the recommendations of the people here, please let us know asap. I've been posting the original decision on other bc blogs and you might like to check the Underbelly FB page to get an idea of what these people think. If you tell me there's a major change underway, I'll rewrite my articles and reblog the decision.

I invest a a fair amount of time on BCO, especially on IBC and male bc topics and, quite frankly, lately I feel embarrassed to be here. While I can't claim to be as psychologically affect as others here, I feel that your apparent lack of concern for these people is not a good look for the world'spremier bc forum.

The UK surgeon I referred to was invited to give a TED talk:
