@moriador I seriously doubt those threads were locked at the first signs of discomfort as that might have been day one. Hope did not decide to close the threads on her own in fact I was the one who suggested it and with good reason. When this debacle broke most of the staff kept out of it in order for the members to put forward their objections which is their right. I don't think any of us can deny it all went and got a little ordinary and probably could be deemed not the most respectful exchange between staff and members. Considering the staff are also members and follow the same TOS with a few additions thrown in for good measure we all were affected by these changes and on top of that we have the task of implementation whether we like it or not. But we are not drones as it has been claimed and we are welcome to voice our opinions and objection too although we might not start a thread and raise the topic. I was concerned by some of the changes as from what I was reading even the members had made valid points in a few areas that needed to be followed up. I did this took the challenge and come onto the forum threads to clear a few things up, these points were of a clear benefit and not a negative for the members and I get told I don't believe you or have some post thrown at me that I had been asking for days to see and could have cleared this up much quicker and progressed. I am a Daz 4.9 DRM thread survivor and I know how these things go I had no intention of getting out to page 30 and still none the wiser from both sides. The threads are locked and clearly visible so you can see where I have been. I have no objections to even requesting one thread to reopen or we can take it up from here I am not fussy about the location but it will only prove useful if we can actually discuss it and try to work through our issues and not end up with some sort of hate campaign or slinging match which is basically how it was looking. I think it is about time some members consider that yes the staff do work for Renderosity but they took the job to work with and assist the members many which are our friends and 99% of the time we are on your side and try our best to resolve issues without too much fuss. Personally I think that mistakes have been made from both sides here but then in the heat of the moment something's gotta give and things happen. I am quite happy to proceed and all that is required is some decent communication. If members want this just let me know and a few of the staff can come on the thread and have the convo.
