The Whining/Complaint Thread
Guys,
Post all the complains u have regarding the forum in this thread, regarding fellow members etc... or issues that u believe have not been solved after reporting threads/posts. Mind your language while u do this. Any complaint post henceforth, outside this thread, anywhere else in the forum, will be summarily deleted and a warning served. Of-course the Feedback section is still there for you to leave feedback, this thread is for complaint and discussion. This thread is NOT a substitute for the "Report Post" function, do not report posts/threads here, only those issues that cannot be addressed by the Report Post function should be posted here.
Kniwor.

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
So I gotta keep coming here to see if my name is on the WANTED list or something?
This idea is ridiculous, instead ask to use the report system. Complains have to be done in private, doing so in public would only spin it out of control with additional members joining it 'for fun'.
No offense but this image suits here more than the last thread I tried
Just kidding there.
Didn't some member here have an ENTIRE website just so that people can rant and whine?

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
Well, IMO this is a nice idea. Instead of letting people post in whatever threads and sections they find.
But, please make sure , mods don't delete posts 'physically', saying that the post was offensive.
Anyways, on topic:
Please tell me if discussing about unlocking and jailbreaking iPhones, is allowed in this forum.
IMO, If talking about OS X On a PC is Illegal, then this should be too.
Thread: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Inc.
Thanx,
ray

This is no place to report posts/threads.
Everyone does believe (including me) that complaints should be made in private, and that is the right way to do things, but members are persistent on posting crap everywhere around in the forum to express their discontentment, then they complain that's because there is no place to do that, this is a step to keep the forum clean, not all things can be absolutely right, but "appropriate" is the word we are looking for here. I am warning you guys again, If you use offensive language in this thread, you will serve a ban, posting complains in other threads will NOT be tolerated anymore.

IMO, such members should be warned once, then banned.

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
Why in the world would anyone want to see this in Public? Isn't that quite obvious? Its the "Lets add more fuel to fire and dance around it!" attitude. And just because its a Public forum doesn't give anyone the right to troll or flamebait. However considering this is in Fight Club I guess its the norm.
@mods: This thing is just flamebait for a random drive thru insult fest which some people are using at free of cost. Don't take it seriously. It comes with the post you have . Your time is better spent elsewhere  .

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
I welcome this move.
Let the member also post what they like and what they dont like about Digit forum member/ moderator/ and management .
But please dont delete posts, which complains that any member/ moderator is doing wrong and than also no one is stooping him. And in that case, dont take a particular side because he/ she is old member or reputated member or forum moderator.
Thanks for starting a open discussion.

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
This thread is not meant to report only moderator activities. And also, moderator are not GOD of the forum that we will blindly follow them. We have rights to speak against anyone if he is doing wrong.

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
I don't understand you guys, I have posted in BOLD letters, take care in what you post, you are given a platform to complain does not mean you use any kind of language you like, I have removed the link because of the vulgarity in language it has.
@Cyrus_the_virus
Just dont make posts for the heck of it, if u have a problem, you are welcome to come forward and speak, posts such are yours is the biggest example of immaturity, just willing to start a fight, this is a tech forum and we are all here for tech discussion, not to have a little fun here.

lol.. complaints without fights?  And that too a thread in the fight club?
BTW, I didn't fight nor did I start a fight. Posted only what I received through the PM allowed by Digit. And by the way, don't be so red faced. Chill maadi, calm, peace. lol.
Don't talk about immaturity when you've started a thread in a fight club asking members to post complaints about others and you don't expect a flame war? You expect everyone to sit down and have a great dinner, laugh and joke and complain about each other, it's time you wake up and do a reality check.
BTW, I'm making this my last post in this, because by the way your face is getting red, I'm quite sure I'll be banned  if I post more.

everytime someone tries to raise a point, damn either the thread gets locked or the post that are key essential to know th actual matter are deleted.

May I ask the logic of you putting me up as number 4? Whats your basis for determining "pro-special members or special members". I posted in response to someone who was talking about bumping threads. However I also find the +1 posts rather irritating esepcially if they dont come with any text at all  .

i am sure that if this member who goes by the name of slugger were to even say -1, it would have been deleted by some automated script without even the special members having to make any mouse clicks

We have enough brain cells to decipher which post is meant to insult/create problems, and which post is harmless. We have our lives too.. We cannot scrutinize each and every post made on this forum. You don't realize how much effort it takes to moderate this forum.

You really know how to appreciate someone's selfless and voluntary contribution to try and maintain the decorum on this forum. Kudos to you! You sure know how to show respect to fellow members when you post.

Yes, and its time you stopped it and started posting by taking "vanity" and "idealism for dummies" off of your list ( I mean not to post like this, the way I have reflected you in replying). After all, you are the guy who goes with the system!!

Re: The Whining/Complaint Thread
Instead of whining/complaining (though it is irritating to many/a few) why don't we just post the issue/link and then just give our suggestions and "hope" the concerned member/moderator responds to it in an equal civil way?? I certainly think we should at least start every potential problem in that manner(it may get carried away or certainly become sarcastic/flaming) and see how it goes.
Ok, here are three potential issues which I think is of some concern, I was not the one to put it, but I find them relatively misleading because it seems to be unresolved owing to complications.
1) Aryayush's post regarding torrents (not blaming you buddy)
Discussion related to torrent clients -> yes. it is software issue
Discussion related to torrent trackers (as to how to check if tracker is down bla bla) -> again, can be allowed, its software/technology issue.
Discussion related to torrent sites (even though you provide a legal link which is in reality 0.01% in torrents, in spite of the fact that we all may accept what we all do) -> No, against forum policy, its a site which hosts 99% of illegal stuffs and there is no justification to provide in that regard. If there is a site dedicated to legal torrents (a big IF), of course the mods would/should allow it.
I hope this is what grudgy intended to say (or at least I found peace in this regard) and hope this would clear the confusion reg. this issue
2) Again Aryayush's post  (again not blaming you, really. Please don't take it offensively)
I don't understand why its in QnA section because off late, I see only general discussions and features (games, themes etc...) of iphones, greatness of apple software in restoring, and other mac products of course. The thread has deviated way from clearing the questions/doubts. Or for that matter there are no questions to answer and so the thread is just continuing with apple's innovativeness and intuitiveness (which I don't deny but its not the place). Also, potentially leading to discussions regarding iPhone unlocked recently.(see 3)
3) also is in this regard,
3.1) discussions pertaining to the legality of Mac OS X on PC is being allowed (whose result was that it is illegal) while "how to install Mac OS X on a PC" threads will be locked/deleted.
3.2) discussions pertaining to legality of iPhones unlocking SHOULD be allowed in the same regard, while " discussing how or where to get softwares to unlock iPhone" as discussed in link2 should be avoided/intimated by moderators (this has not yet been done or replied to or actions taken and have stirred way too much arguments and off-topic/flaming posts, no blaming intended, I would have done the same).
3.3) and finally, the fanboyism issue. Yes, its the biggest of all. And, members and moderators are both involved in this!! I don't want to name here, but if necessary I can/will (certainly not helping in anyway though). Its time we get over this "windows vs linux vs mac" issue and restrict it to the fight club section alone and keep the sanity of the threads related to Mac or Windows Vista or so as such which is the purpose of the thread.
