What my last post was about is clarity and transparency in the flow of information and communication with members. Ignoring points I raise or just saying "this is a bad idea" without giving reason is not an acceptable way to conduct business. Telling me to make my own site when I offer suggestions of improvements of this site is not a grown up behaviour. I expect information to be available about what is being accepted/considered/rejected even if implementation may take time. I dont expect things to change over night, but I'm no spring chicken so I worry I may not live long enough to see any of the implementation.

I'm pleased to hear "many of them changes that you, yourself, have asked for!". I wasnt aware I asked for "many" or maybe it's been too long for my elderly brain to remember, but it's nice to know. Wish you could give some hints what they were about. Perhaps I would have been less likely to conclude there is no real 'list' of user suggestions if information was kept about the general status of suggestions along the way.

So - I'm giving up on this thread yet again. I left it for a long time as I didnt see any likelyhood of progress. If it wasnt for random27's enquiry and your reply about the new "sane" interpretation I wouldnt have returned in hope of further developments. But your subsequent replies indicate there is no real change. Without major new policies and clearer well publicized information to the users about what's nudity, what's commercial posting, what's the status of their suggestions - I dont see any way to resume posting on this site.

I shall check in from time to time to see what are the new things you hint are about to happen, but I'm not holding my breath...

I presume you were trying your best - thanks for that, but sorry so far it wasnt sufficient.
