RE: Be POSH, Engage and help Hive Thrive | A Challenge sponsored by Blocktrades, Theycallmedan, Threespeak and OCDB

While i have done the post using the Tag POSH. As an HR person working with a global IT company i thought i might raise a point.

"POSH" in corporate circles is an acronym for HR practises used by corporates to deal with "#MeToo" issues. POSH -Prevention of Sexual Harassment. So people unfamiliar with this Post on Hive and hailing from a corporate background, will most likely get confused and ask what does Hive have to do with POSH. In fact my husband just did. I showed him this post.

The phrase POSH is well known in corporate circles in a different context. We may want to look at another phrase to Push on Twitter :)

This is fair, we'll look into this. When we came up with it, we played with the english word that was hype in the late 90's, early 00's "Posh" as in trendy and popular, and it fitted the acronym.

We'll definitely be on the lookout to how people are reacting to the tag and consider changing it if the buzz around it is negative. Thanks so much for raising this point!

Posh is a horrible name for many reasons, that included.
