Well first let me say to Maclean,I have had one of my own threads there wiped clean and two more where I answered pm's alerting me that a reply had been made (weeks late of course) only to find them gone as well...not even a header.I have my own site and can tell you that admin have authority to do this and it doesn't have to be the whole team,just one over zealous admin.When a mod does it you'll usually still have a header cause they generally don't have authority to do a total delete plus the site can set threads to erase in a certain number of days without a reply.So to ask me to point you to the thread which I stated does not exist is a bit off when there have been others here and on DAZ itself who have asked what happened to threads they were watching.
As for your point on Becco...ummm,are you trying to say that every post on DAZ recieves a reply~I mean heck,thats all he said and you more or less redressed him as a known DAZ basher??He's 100% correct...they do ignore posts over there but they do it everywhere else too,so you were the one in error calling him a DAZ basher for that reason.
But after seeing your apology and how its not an apology at all let me say this...I find people loyal to DAZ over here bashing rosity and attacking people for saying anything negative about DAZ "for no good reason".Explain why its ok to bash rosity but not ok to bash DAZ??My criticism of DAZ is the only way I get them to notice,I try being nice in raising a problem and get ignored...I smash their foot with a hammer and they at least notice.
DAZ has one of the worst records for mistakes of all the sites...but I'll address two key issues to validate my point.DAZ has a tendency to put out what seem to be half finished company products or products that don't seem to have gone through quality control...examples of this of late are the Big Cats and Mil Horse but they're not the only ones.They don't seem to have the same problem with their brokered products which have either already been tested for other sites or the creators have done extensive beta testing on their own...so why are the products DAZ itself creates flawed?The second issue is their "exclusive" Platinum Club which they have already opened to everyone twice this year...I have several friends who are furious about this because they bought the annual membership for exclusive access to these items~why pay that much money only to have everyone be given free access two or three times a year.
These comments are not libelous nor are they untrue...I also come in here to learn and to help others.But I also feel free to voice my opinions here without being harassed or told I am wrong to make them because someone thinks they're untrue but doesn't make the effort to prove it before stating that assumption.
I for one would have first addressed compilers foul language in the title thread header lol,would seem to me he would be far more likely to get rosity in trouble with that remark than any other comment but you totally ignored that...it was the mention of DAZ that fueled all the concern when its Curious Labs who may have been libelled here if anyone~no concern for rosity there though lol.
Sorry for the long winded reply Karen but I was challenged by Maclean and don't think the apology sufficed to let the remarks slide unchallenged.I am not a DAZ basher...at least not as you might think.My criticism of DAZ is to make them realise that we the consumer expect them to conduct themselves better...they won't listen when you try to be nice and often will promise it won't happen again (as in the Mil Horse) only to do it again (Big Cats) proving they were not being honest.There was no excuse for the Big Cats to be put out like they were and I did address it in their forums as did others...and very few were satisfied with the response.How do I know,because I sent them pm's asking if they believed what they were told and they said no...pure and simple,I followed up.
Again sorry...was irked by the apology stating blatant attacks when I was the primary recipient of the earlier comment the apology addressed and as you see,my replys in such a matter are never brief.These are my opinions and to Karen I apologise since she is our gracious host of the moment...and to Maclean I also apologise,this is not personal with you save to say you addressed my comment with somewhat of a challenge and then followed by stating how you were angered that we bashed DAZ~maybe I bashed them with reason but not Becco,your address of him was totally wrong.
If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
