What is the current average mental age of the directory owner?

I am very new to the directory field, but I found one I think will serve me well. It has a lot of room for improvement and forums like this offer the promise of being able to share the experience and wisdom of others. I realize there will be a lot of bad information and bad actors sharing it, but I hope my years of online experience will be my guidance.

Unfortunately, my observation over the last couple of weeks is that JamieG enjoys the controversy and confrontation. That might be OK under normal circumstances, but you are a representative of a major directory script. You are not being the asset to phpLynx that you could be. It's a shame because its a promising script, but you are turning customers away with your incessant arguing and condescending demeanor. I have seen this in post after post. You obviously do not.

This is an insulting topic and it is an affront to all directory owners. You are turning would-be allies away from you and the company you represent. I have never been a fan of the "rep" system on forums, primarily for the reasons you are riled up about. However, your reaction is giving the person who rep'ed you a boner. You react negatively to a lot of stuff that you should just let go of. Instead, you give people just one more reason why your product might not be the mature product they're looking for.

Your marketing efforts are having a negative effect and any real marketing your company does will have to work twice as hard to undo the rep you are giving the company.

At least think about it.

Grump

 

Jamie.... just a FYI... there is a member floating around by the name of 'leet' so maybe it wasn't unsigned.

Anyway, didn't read the rest as I was guilty of something similar myself so I have no place to comment.

 

A good point, at the same time i know of leet here a turkish guy, and he seems very friendly, very cool, i cant imagine him ever doing that.

Next time you get a rep Jamie, do a Lilly Allen, just go ahead and smile

 

lol, Made me feel better already.

 

"Highly courteous???" Let's see:

• What is the current average mental age of the directory owner?
• the anonymous poster with the mentallity of a swamp frog
• go play with some playstation games where you can play the bad guy.
• Whoopy Fu**** Doo!
• the little runt with the overwhelming desire to run about leaving pathetic messages like that
• would love to see the clown say something in my face

That brings a whole new meaning to the definition of courtesy.

 

nice comments, it made me laugh....

 

El Oh El!

hahaha

 

I know Mikey and it's a mistake I won't make again. As for the long run, you bet.

 

Oops, no, this has nothing to do with me Thanks for the compliments though

 

It's not a problem leet, It was the word someone posted, = phpld leet. I actually took it to mean he or she was thinking phpld was elite but couldn't spell. All history now, I've put 3D glasses on now so I can't be bothered with rep whatever colour as I can't tell which is which.

 

Rep's? By opening a post against the neg repper you make the dude feel, ahhh my actions affects the dude, lemme repeat the same next time.

Dude get over such thing, some people love distributing red love. And regarding the phpld effect with the comment, there are a lot of phpld lovers here. I am one of them... but I don't spread red love unless emergency.

 

Just when it looks like this thread is finally going to die...though I must admit, nice detective work mikey.

 

Nice one mikey, don't think we'll give this guy any more airtime than he deserves, as YMC said the thread is dead and those that count gave me some green to help me lick my wounded heart.
