Could we have an update please?

Because if we have an indicative date, it manages our expectations, and can realistically mute criticism on unresponsiveness/no action if it is known none will happen for X amount of time. In my experience, if these things are in process, they will be part of a plan (for manpower resourcing if nothing else) that works through the expected timeframes for any development and gives an output of an targeted implementation date. Of course, those dates sometimes have to change where priorities are challenged or problems arise, but there is usually some idea.
 
Guys - I'm almost regretting posting this thread now. If we want to argue about stuff, could we please have separate threads, or this will simply end up locked again.

We don't wish to promote nor encourage any arguments here .
Nor transfer any future arguments to separate threads .

Arguments and bickering are not positive within the forum .
Highly negative actually .
Only serves to inflame a thread and isn't anyway supportive at all .
 
Thank you for the answers to all of my questions. (Except the one about multiple identities and that wasn't for admin or the mods)

I honestly don't see any argument going on here. A simple question regarding multiple accounts has been asked (why are they allowed, what purpose do they serve) and not answered in a way that addresses members' concerns as expressed. Aren't we meant to be dealing with transparency here?

(Sorry @AndBreathe I would have opened a new thread but admin don't seem to want that either).
 
Thanks Scardoc! I don't get much positive feedback from this forum, personally. I'm doing my best here and I do greatly appreciate any positive feedback I get

There is no huge problems that can arise from allowing users to operate more than one account (and equally no real benefit to the site), so I won't be making any changes to the rules with regards to this in the foreseeable future. If it does become a problem, however, then I will consider altering the rules.
 

Anna - Purely for the record.

I was feeling the thread move into debating mode, which wasn't my objective. I have tried to create a simple feedback loop which could serve both the users and Admin/Mods fairly well as a simple medium to keep users updated on topics voluntarily raised, by both side, on a now locked thread.

I have no wish to see arguments any more than you, but I merely recognise that if they were to arise, my preference would be that they take place somewhere that isn't this thread.

Civil, collaborative communication, surely shouldn't be this difficult? [Rhetorical question.]
 
We really need to move on and instill more positivity .

Not get hung up on repeated circular debate , discussion ,
or arguments past or future .

Giverny has answered your questions with complete fairness within posts
on this thread .
Can we all chug along more reassured now .
We really do our best to help out where can we do .

@AndBreathe Thank you for attempting to gather constructive feedback for the betterment of forum. I appreciate your efforts, even if others don't X

Absolute agreement.

It would be a wonderful thing if people didn't undermine efforts like this by introducing personal theories and debates.

@AndBreathe asked a question, and got answers.
Some of them may not have been what we were hoping for, but hey ho. That's life.

No need for it to degenerate into opening old, festering sores.

I would also like to thank @Giverny for her efforts. The changes may be slow, but they seem to be coming. I know how long these things can take, especially when shoehorned into an existing workload.

And I know from my own work situation that not appreciating my efforts does not get you what you want any quicker and, depending on your attitude, it may slow things down even more!
 

I hear ozone treatment is good for those.
 
I don't often report things and like others when I have done haven't always had a response.
I reported a thread earlier this evening(actually I reported my own rather cynical post but included the reasons for my cynicism ). I had dinner and came back to a reply.
Thank you Anna

You're not telling me that Notjack412 has been banned? I thought multiple accounts weren't a problem? Unless perhaps they are funny ones?

On the subject of arguments; is that referring to my post about why multiple accounts are problematic for at least some people? I hope not; that wasn't the intention; it was a question in response to a statement.

Best
