Hey. That was a rhetorical question. That means you weren't supposed to answer it.

Introduction Tortdog

You edited it while I was replying to it. Nevertheless, based on your edit:

A lot of people do not take the time to read and some of your questions within this thread are the perfect example of what I am talking about . So I really do not understand what are shrugging about.

If you really want to go down this road, I will.

It's up to you. But regardless of whether we walk down that road of your choosing, might you consider that where you have quite a few intelligent people somewhat confused as to how to find certain things, or how to do certain things, it might indicate that the resources provided to the users are not intuitive or helpful enough to provide sufficient aid?

For example, Microsoft spends a huge amount of effort into making its software "user-friendly." That avoids frustration by the "stupid" users, and helps sales of the software to increase.

My suggestion would be to have a place/forum in which users could make suggestions as to areas in which they find places in this forum to be MORE user friendly, as opposed to the moderators suggesting people delete their account and go away.

As for my part, any suggestion that I believed might improve the forum has been met with not just total disregard, but a welcome of "go away" and never come back - or just about. That is why I have expressed that I feel like I am walking on thin ice here (at times). Efforts to be helpful seem to be taken as personal attacks.

I don't get that.

Tortdog:

I do not know what "road" you are speaking about, maybe you are too used to have the last word?

Intelligence is just a matter of opinion, having said that many of the questions you have asked are EASILY found by just taking the time to read. You don't agree with that. Too bad.

I think that's where you STILL don't understand. There IS a feedback board if you want to leave feedback (have you seen it at all?) Just because in YOUR view things that need to be read are NOT in the place YOU think it should be does not mean anything, obviously you would be running your OWN forum, right?

What you call "suggestions" are nothing but indirect complains on things you seem as absurd and that you clearly stated as such. Instead of sharing your views and moving on, you try to impose YOUR reasoning in the way we run things around here. Wrong. You are the one coming to our forum and our rules, NOT the other way around, let us make that clear.

We have run this community for YEARS and we DO welcome feedback (and that's why we have a board about it). ONE thing is to give a suggestion or ideas and a completely different one is to challenge our rules and policies as "absurd" just because does not fit your reasoning. And that's exactly what you are doing. You call that helpful? I definitly don't.

Introduction Tortdog

I left some feedback on a thread in the feedback area and was advised that my suggestions were unwelcome, and the post was deleted.

And to your other points, maybe you are right. Maybe my intelligence is not quite there and I have deceived myself. Are personal attacks allowed on this site?

Tortdog Introduction

You left feedback and you was told that your suggestions were unwelcome and the thread deleted? I would love to see that thread. I would investigate.

Personal attacks are NOT allowed on this site as stated in our policies. The world does not spin around you Tortdog. I was speaking in general terms, by now you would have notice I have no problem to be as direct as I want to be therefore if I would have want to attack your intelligence I would not have used that statement.

Sure. It was here:

https://www.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/index....topic=9505&st=8

But I was wrong. I thought my post was deleted, but it remained. In response to my suggestions, I received:

So I read that post as being, "We have the rules the way we want them, it is the way it is, and stop complaining." Or...go away.

Mind you, this is in response to a thread that requested:

Now, maybe had I only listed ONE rule I would not have received that response, suggesting I shut up or go somewhere else. But...

That's correct. I read the thread by the way, it seems just like you was ranting about the offtopic issue as you usually do. Having said that, you are correct the thread asked for ONE rule not for a list.
