Original Thread, asking a nice friendly mod, to fix a feature which has been abused

Hello friendly mod people,
Recently someone has changed the link in my "Blog Headline" to point to a thread in this forum (originally), then they changed it to target forums.digitalpoint.com, then they changed it to target self. This clearly isn't just a bug, and I am certain that my RSS feed is accurate.

I have already requested attention from a mod via the Exclamation mark button, but she didn't seem to know how to fix it, and instead referred me to submit site feedback. I clicked on the "contact us": button at the bottom of the page and did just that.

i still ahven't heard back from anyone.

Since that time at least one Mod has also looked at my user count (to issue a warning) and then another mod has looked at my account (to issue an infraction), and then another, differnt mod has looked at my account (to issue yet another warning). Unfortunately they have all been way too busy, because not one of them even mentioned this problem that I have been having the whole time (Even though it was the major complaint in all of the thread which I received warning/infractions for!).

So I just thought I would make this thread, to request this one little bit of help (nothing else!), from the friendly staff here who REALLY like helping out their positive, helpful, productive members Oh so much.

Thank you in advance.

 

Mods can't help you.

 

Can't or Won't?

In my extensive experience of using forums, most moderators have at least attempted to assist members. So far I have only been spat on here.

Thanks for nothing.

 

Can't!

 

If your blog is called Research, Innovation, Risk Taking and Living Forever then it's feed won't work here. The new Blogger platform (which that blog is on) is not yet supported.

 

Then why did it work two days ago?

The blogger platform should be irrelevent, the feed comes through feedburner.

Thank you shannon.

I can't express to you how releiving it is to have someone actually treat me like a human again. I was feeling this way in the second thread I started when Devlin and maryMary spoke to me. I'm sorry for constantly spitting acid, but I react with **** when people treat me like ****.

I appreciate that you have at least tried.

 

Feedburner is not supported either - at least not the last time I checked.

Do you always ask for help with such a smart ass tone or are you just having a bad day?

 

F***ing horrible day, and the tone is directed at the people who i have been asking for help for more than a day now, who have just ignored and virtually pat on me the whole time.

 

Why are you so annoying?

Do you think you're the only member here? WTF!

 

No I don't, but the number of members does not justify instantly dismissing everything each member says as rubbish, ignoring requests, and infractioning them for doing so!

For that matter, even if there were a million members here, the attitude of "Pfftt, another infraction for asking" would be quite easy to maintain because it requires no effort whatsoever on your behalf.

Now if you don't mind, since you are so busy, the members here are trying to help me (like in the last thread you closed and infracted me on)

 

So why are you so annoying?

 

I just did some checking, and neither the blogger, nor the feedburner feeds for the research blog work. They both redirect to self.

Meanwhile, the feedburner feed to my own Arbitrage website does work fine. So it isn't the feed.

That explanation also fails to explain the varying landing point of the link.

 

Just a day? This is s free forum and all staff help out for free. Typically, you complain about service when you're paying for something - which you're not. Have some patience and try to not be so condescending in your posts/requests.

Feedburner and the new blogger feed won't work.

 

Because I have been wronged, and I stood up for myself, and i was wrong, and I stood up for myself, and i was wronged....

Look, just leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone, I just want some help, and you aren't willing to offer it.

I'm not complaining about slow service, i'm complaining about attitude, rudeness, and abuse of powers if anything. But in fact, I'm not even trying to complain, I'm just pissed that I was infracted so many times just for trying to 1. Have something correct which was done to me, and 2. Trying to understand why that would even happen.

Look, this is the 4th thread in a series of threads you would need to read to get the whole picture, but I'm not going to go through it right now, in fact, i'm going to bed.

The feedburner feed from my arbitrage blog DOES work.

Thanks for actually talking to me, I think you will find that I'm really very pleasant and helpful person when I'm not being s**t on.

 

Not really, it's just pointing to the index of that site, not the most recent entry like it's supposed to when it's working properly. Shawn (thw owner of DP) has said in the past that "standard" rss feeds are not supposed to work as this is a recent blog feature, not a recent news/forum/whateverelse feature.

 

Are you saying i spoke to you like ****? Because I was just trying to help you out. I'll remember not to get involved in the future when you have a problem.

I only gave you a short answer on your second thread because you obviously didn't get it the first time we told you.

EDIT: You were the one treating people badly, I just read my posts to you and none of them were crappy. I could have called you names and so on but I didn't.
YOU are lucky I can't give out rep right now or you would have a big fat red one from me saying don't tell people I treated you like shit! I'll get you later!<and you can count on it!

 

Mods do help members,

I have seen three respond in this thread already,

But what I haven't seen is a thank you from you OP....


This is what you feel like ???

 

No Mary, read again what I said: "I can't express to you how releiving it is to have someone actually treat me like a human again. I was feeling this way in the second thread I started when Devlin and maryMary spoke to me"

That is, it is nice to have people talk to me like a human, like you and Devlin did... I said you were being nice to me. Maybe it wasn't completely clear, but it seems everyone is just assuming I'm an arsehole now, so feel free, jump on board and assume the worst!

Well, actually, I have thanked Shannon:

AND I did thank Guy From Chicago:

So I think "what I haven't seen is a thank you from you OP...." is technically incorrect.

Meanwhile the main responses from Crazy Rob were:

and

So, in fact, as I stated happpened in the other thread, while one or two Mods were specifically telling me that 1. I 'could not' be helped, and 2. NOt to ask for help (indirectly telling me this by closing the thread without an explanation and passing a further infraction) MEMBERS actually tried to help me.

Guy From Chicago has done a GREAT job, and I appreciate it immensly. THANK YOU guy from chicago. You not only attempted to answer the questions, but you even went so far as to talk with the owner! THANK YOU.

What I don't understand is why it was so damn difficult for me to get that far? Why did I have to suffer through several hours of abuse from Mods infracting me, and telling me I was annoying, and having members look at me and act as if I was indeed filth (I mean, I was disagreeing with the "police", surely I was filth. Only criminals and filth disagree with the police!).


And the holier than thou attitude is completely misplaced. I moderate two forums myself and participate in at least 4 actively. It's not like what I was asking was that difficult. But instead of addressing my concerns and my questions, I was shut down without an explanation twice, and further punished in return for being screwed over.

But regardless of what actually happened, no one seems to care. It is easier to assume I am in the wrong, join in on the mob and condemn me straight away because I'm on the wrong side, and then post a one line smart arse comment saying as much, even though you haven't bothered actually reading what happens.

 

ok.
