What Is With This Site, Man?

[stringduster]

this site is too screwy. I need a moderator to edit or delete a post? So just to change something that I typoed

I have to wait for for folks who never seem to be online to begin with? and who have to agree to modify or delete FOR me?

NEVER heard of such a thing!

My Osborne splitter #86 was miss priced at $350 and should have been listed @ $450. But with all the hassles surrounding this site

I don't care if it sell or NOT.

You can edit your own posts for a short time period, about 15 minutes, after you make the post. If you go back to your post during this time period, there is a light grey "edit" just to the left of the quote buttons. Beyond this time period, click the light grey "report" left of the quote buttons. The moderators will be notified of the contents of your report and will act on it. They aren't just sitting around monitoring everybodys' posts. They volunteer their time and mostly have full time jobs. I think you owe them all an apology.

Stringduster,

I agree, you need to give apologies to a number of folks.

Don't rag on a site you obviously know very little about. Your inefficiencies are callous.

I have had to edit posts before..when I sent in the mistake, Johanna was very quick to fix it for me. They are good people that run this site who take a great deal of time out of their own lives to help all of us out.

Apologies are definitely in order!

Stringduster...perhaps you should try decaf. I agree totally with what everyone else is saying. Johanna and crew are all doing this site out of the love of leather and leather workers. They aren't some fat cats getting rich off of members. You definitely owe them an apology and a lot more respect. Just sayin'...

My thoughts are if you weren't in such a rush to post here,

and or other places, MY GUESS ,,don't kow just guessing

is you could have proofed it a little better especially the price before hitting the post button

and not even, be having this ,,,,,

and look at the bright side you clearly lost me as a buyer

Sometimes it is hard to see the forest when you are standing in the trees. Sometimes outsiders can spot the flaws we are all used to tolerating.

That is a perfect example everyone needs to remember. It is way easier to upset everyone than it is to keep people happy. Sometimes we forget that there is a far better way to do things than the way it is being done. I personally feel stringduster is fully correct in what he said, and feel that he was wrong in the way he presented it. He was frustrated that a simple, useful, desirable and handy function used in almost all forums is blocked from us. It is blocked so that the administrators can have control over the masses. If we ask for permission, they might grant it. The administrators volunteer their time, so they make you ask for them to do it when you could easily do it yourself. Sort of doesn't make since. The administrators have lots of time so they do not let you do basic common forum control. That makes since, but I don't understand. Sorry this is all one paragraph. The enter key does not work on this, and only this, forum. It works properly everyplace else. Likely is my computer.

You are all being too nice. The folks on this sight are always willing to step in and help, correct, modify, and just plain listen. If you don't like the way it works, or what they do, forget the apology, just stay the hell off it! Oh by the way,Stringduster, I just edited added this (edit) in about ten seconds.

They should have "control over the masses"..it's their site. I can just imagine what this site would look like if they allowed everyone to just post whatever they wanted!
