I got you PM but it wasn't properly written (if you'd read my post about the suggestion PMs, you'd know what I mean).
If it was unclear, why not ask me what I meant rather than whining about it ad nauseum? Since I haven't received a single question about it from you, I'm going to assume that my meaning was perfectly clear and you're simply being juvenile. If something really WAS unclear, ask me about it.
And where should I have copypasted it? To a text file that I'll loose in the mess my MyDocuments are? A post-it note on my monitor? A PM to myself?
Oh, please, are you serious? This is so utterly ridiculous, I'm at a loss for words to describe precisely the depths of inanity that have now been reached.
Obviously, if you are posting the suggestions somewhere for them to be discussed among the staff, you will need to-- brace yourself-- copy&paste them there from people's PMs. If you were more interested in people's suggestions than in continuing this preschool-level "neener neener, you STILL didn't suggest it right!" bullshitry, I'm sure your selective hand injury would miraculously heal to an extent that would allow you to copy&paste something from a post.
You have a) Suggested that we bring back the old rules (which you didn't remember yourself), and then b) Suggested a completely different set of rules, from the original ones.
Oh. If you understand that I suggested a set of rules, then I guess my PM made sense after all.
I don't remember the specifics of the old rules, and you said you didn't remember them either, therefore I suggested something along the lines of what I thought I remembered. Out of curiosity, how do you know that the rules I suggested were "completely different" if you lost the old rules and don't remember what they were? (Oops.)
That's strange, I clearly remember getting a few PMs with suggestions for the new rules, including from you, more than a week before the new rules were implemented.
Actually, you're right, I forgot about that. My apologies. (Yeah, check it out, I admit when I'm wrong-- novel concept around here, I know.) I'll point out, however, that the suggestion in my PM to you was to keep the rules as they were.
Just wondering, how many of the current set of rules are based on the suggestions of users other than PN?
Therefore, I would like to say one thing to those who voted for change but have not (so far) lifted a finger to write and send your own suggestions:
You do disappoint me, guys.
Hmm. I completely understand your point, but I can't say I'm entirely disappointed myself. It's become blatantly obvious that no amount of trying to reason with the administration is effective, that the staff (with the exception of a couple now-nearly-inactive mods) has no interest in what users want, and that nothing is going to change-- except maybe for the worse, as administrative attempts to weasel out of accusations become more and more outlandish, and more and more previously-active users get fed up and disappear.
I'm thinking that's 37 pragmatic realists, frankly. When a forum gets THIS far gone, it becomes harder and harder to care.
