Beav1 When someone asks for an opinion about something, yes they are entitled to an honest response from the members of the forum as well as the admin and staff. Whether that's good, bad or mediocre feedback. It's all relative and fair. If marque was to post in another thread that she's experienced some difficulty downloading from Poserworld in response to someone saying "is it worth joining" then I see no problem. That's her experience of the site. But, when the same comment is the motivator of multiple threads repeated over a short time when the last one is buried or ignored then one tends to get a little suspicious, especially as it hasn't been brought up in the sub site forums or directly with the people running the place. Bad form all round really. In essence though. People do ask for opinions, this forum is littered with people asking about pworld and many other things and getting feedback, both favourable and not so favourable. That's about it. I question the motives of someone who repeats themselves on a regular basis with criticism and complaint but not someone who gives an honest opinion in response to a question. Other than asking questions and getting feedback, how are you supposed to learn what's good and what's not? So far I have very few complaints about most of the places I visit. They all work very much the same way, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes not even there. I will almost always go after the people concerned if there's a problem, Rena will attest to that as I've chased her down in the past if I think something is wrong, same with Steve and many other people, but I very rarely take it to a public forum unless repeated attempts at private discussion with them have failed, though I confess I am known in some areas for long and critical posts that are generalised across the board on a variety of subjects. I hold no ill-will towards anyone in this or other threads. Ron I think knows that as I treat him the same everywhere I talk to him, with derision if I think he's being silly and with praise if I think he's doing well. I try to be fair across the board with people and treat everyone pretty much the same except a very select few who have IMO earned my contempt. Who am I to judge? Nobody except an opinionated forumite. But it's my opinion and I will hammer it down someone's throat. [smirk] Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have an appointment with MadYuri. :)
