Chopping off their own feet....

As they prepare for IPO they need to be positioned for Wall St. That doesn't always mean making customers happy.

I remember when SPs were real people, not orange guy minions like they are now

I've been out of the SP for a long time. What am I missing?
-
What you're missing is IRJ bitching about mods with no justification,
A post got deleted, IRJ called the mods about it, even though he admitted that the OP had deleted the post themselves, but apparently that's all the mods fault.
As a current mod I don't like getting called on rumour, hearsay and personal viewpoints.
-
So a whole thread for deleted by the OP?
-
Yes , a whole thread of bitching about mods because a poster deleted his own post.
-
Mangolassi and Spiceworks are two separate things, but going to the one to bitch about the other doesn't sit well with me.
The only reason I've posted here is for clarification, otherwise it's a "oh, those nasty people at Spiceworks" comment.
-
@Huw3481 that links from ML to SW are allowed but not in the reverse doesn't sit well with me either. You are allowed to link answers and references from anywhere except here.
-
@scottalanmiller There has been no directive to mods to delete ML posts. That's a ridiculous state if it's a helpful post. You might as well delete posts that reference Technet, Petri or Experts Exchange.
Got any examples?
-
@Huw3481 no examples as they were all deleted. But we were told we'd have to pay for them to stay.
-
But I agree. This site shouldn't be a place to talk about other forums (in a negative way at least, positive stuff is fine.)

Touche.
I posted here to keep from exposing it too broadly to see if it was happening to anyone else. But probably best to call it out to everyone.
-
At least it is far better and most honest posting here. They see every posted and nothing is secret it hidden. It's far better than having a secret posting area. Often posts have gone here to allow a conversation to happen without overly advertising it to the world. But the secret groups to have conversations that only select people can see... That's a much bigger issue.
But the bad things that other communities do is no excuse to sink towards their level. So you are both right. In the spirit of avoiding their mistakes, we should definitely avoid anything approaching that style of behavior.

Here you go, posted over there too....

Nice!

I know this is an old thread, but I'm not understanding RAM's POV. He seems to be saying because another site doesn't have a private chat room in a private forum, he prefers another site that doesn't have private chat-rooms or private forums.
-
@IRJ Could it be that they avoid you for other reasons? No offense, but maybe it's not the fact that you are here that makes you unpopular there. It could be other things that have caused this. And with your last post in SP's, I don't think you're winning many friends. And this probably goes for alot of us. If we are here venting about them, it's probably going to effect our attitude over there and our disdain is going to be transparent.

I had to read that eight times to figure out what was said. Lol

I feel like I miss a ton not being in the SP. Not being in it you get a feeling that a ton of discussion only exists there. When I was there it didn't feel like it was all that much. But that's probably because I was part of it. Now I feel like I miss tons.
