| ifyou are talking about the person I think.... | Jun 14, 2006 |
I have to say that I have been very surprised that no-one has stepped in and stopped the system abuse. Someone who has cut up a huge text into bite-size bits and is getting colleagues to do all the leg-work ought to be kicked out.
No names, no pack-drill. I think I answered one question by mistake. Since then I have studiously ignored the rest.
But answers are offered for each question. I am gob-smacked. Even if by splitting the job up, the person keeps within the limits, there is so...

MODERATOR | Omniscient Moderators | Jun 14, 2006 |
Thanks, Jane, for your wonderful support of us Moderators.
It's true, we are absolutely not omniscient or omnipresent - we have regular, paid work to do, plus regular, busy lives - sometimes things happen while we're offline or busy working, sometimes helping someone else in some other aspect of the site!

That's why we suggest support tickets. The advantage to submitting your own support ticket is that you communicate directly with the developers or other site staff, cutting out the middleman (moderator) who would simply have to act as go-between between the individual requesting help and the site staff... much more time-consuming, especially considering we live in different time zones and can be online at different times of the day.
Opening this thread was a good start, and now this issue has the attention of moderators and site staff alike. But as you can see from this thread, ultimately direct communication between the individual and site staff is primordial.
Thanks to all for using the site.

Somane, I don`t think it is just minority. Just the opposite. But, if the people that are supposed to do things don`t do it,... well, as Nadia said, ignore it and keep your sanity.
That`s what I did after several similar complaints in forums and in messages to Moderators.
One of the moderators told ME to open a support ticket (?!) (wouldn`t it be much easier and faster if that moderator presented this problem in the modddies forum, I wonder?)
Another moderator told me there were some bugs, probably, they thought, and they were working on it.
Hi Walter,
Moderators are not responsible for bugs that may develop in the system, so if you find such a problem it may be more effective to just open a support ticket that will go directly where it should, to the site developers.
Regards,
Enrique

I thought it was supposed to be impossible to ask new questions if you have more than ten questions open? So how do you explain a case I noticed today, with 24 questions open, some of them dating back to October last year, yet the system allowed him to ask 5 questions today, 4 yesterday, and 3 the day before, despite the fact that he has NEVER closed even ONE of his questions!

"...askers with more than 10 questions that have been open for more than a week are asked to close their questions before asking new ones."
=========================================
At the time of asking the first of this series of questions, 3 days ago, he already had 12 questions that had been open for more than a week (MUCH more than a week, in fact!). The system did not prevent him then, did not prevent him yesterday, and did not prevent him today.
In short, the system is broken.
I strongly disagree with the arbitrary limits on questions in any case, but if they are going to be implemented at all, then at least they should be implemented "as advertised", and applied fairly and rigorously for everyone.
