So I want to see if I get this straight:

You don't have time to acknowledge you hear someone when they express concern that your own "generic" rules are being ignored by the people you've recruited to run your site for you.

You don't have time to acknowledge you hear me when I mention that my reviews are being rejected without explanation, which suggests there's no justification for it, or if there is I don't know what it is so I can't fix it.

You don't have time to acknowledge you hear someone when they say their reviews are being changed by someone who didn't write them.

But you do have time to go out of your way to tell me you can do whatever you want, and then come back and justify it when I suggest it's not satisfactory, and then discuss it further with Whip.

Did I get that right?



Absolutely none of it, actually.

I don't have time to get into lengthy debates about all the above and I don't see that it does anyone any good if I just post "I hear you" with no further explanation.

I'm flattered you think I went out of my way to get back to you but it actually only took me 30 seconds to copy and paste the user agreement into this thread. I only dug into the time I'd normally spend approving users' reviews afterwards when it became clear you were more offended when I actually did contribute to the discussion.

DT: I respect you, but having read all in this particular thread I must conclude,

It is fucking benj's site, and if you don't like it, then simply split!!!!

This would be equivalent to me coming over uninvited to your house, you accepting me warmly, and then me deciding to bash your decorating, the size of your place, and the way you look and smell. And then spitting out the meal you cooked me.

Actually, the review in question is too similar to others there, so I'll report it once that is possible again. Here are the others in chronological order:

1 and 2

I've had another occurrence of this. The gangmembers' names are all anglicised in various ways for the subtitles. Dandi becomes Dandy. The first part of my explanation was "Dandy is the English name for one of the main criminals." The review doesn't now work. It still describes the same plot element (although even for that I'd rather use the anglicised name since that reflects my viewing experience), but the image that I was playing on (a Regency fop whoremongering) has been lost.

I've had a typo in a review approximately once. You can trust me to be submitting spellings intentionally. Benj, please can this review be changed back to my original form? I'd really rather not use up another quota slot on it. Thanks.

Wow. I don't know why I never read this thread before. After 2 years of pushing the thread away, you bring it back. You could have just created a whole new thread instead up digging up old arguments. I hope history does not repeat itself. Good read though.

That would be totally stupid. People continually starting new threads about the same subjects makes the Fourum a right old mess. I started this thread to ask for my review to be corrected back to the proper form; every time I want the same it's natural to post it here.
