  • DAB replies to everything. He shows mutual respect by acknowledging others works no matter how significant they seem. image

    Looks like with all the chit chat about this the views on this have gone up (655). Imagine if instead of the negativity around this, there was positive promotion and then half of those people voted you would already have 6.5 times more votes than you did, sad about a missed opportunity.

    Maybe I missed it partly because in the weekly update there is a lot of stuff I'm not interested in so in a quick skim I missed it (if I even saw the update in the first place, I may not have even received it). Had I know there was a poll like this I would definitely have voted, I believe  in acknowledging those who help others.

    Officially no-one has told him he is banned, but he can't log in, and as a guest can't reply but can still view.

    Someone who has done more to point out the issues is Coder27, who for his troubles got banned, so what sort of message is that .... keep quiet or we'll do it for you.?

     

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    Hi David,

    No problem, the poll is closed (at least it should be, haven't tried yet). You're on the list because you've been member of the month last year.

    Hey Kas,

    And that proves my point that somehow there's something way off in how users are addressed here. This poll was mentioned in the ''weekly update' by Dave, and there's a small banner on the main page somewhere. But I guess most people come here to get an answer to their engineering question, so they create an account, post their question and leave. When you haven't assigned to a group, there's no  way that you're actively attracted to / involved into the community.

    This feedback has been around for a while on several levels, but no serious response or action has been publicly given yet.

    I sent an email along the same lines that Element14 should be concerned that only .0245% (based on 49 votes) of the membership could be bothered to vote, to Dave and Nicole.

    Its Monday here at the bottom of the world, so I don't expect an answer from Dave, and Nicole is on maternity leave with reference to her manager (but no email address).

     

    The sad part of this, is the community was vibrant and active before the upgrade, and now there are few questions being posted.

    I am sure there were things that needed fixing, but this hasn't fixed anything, its made it more damaged.

     

    I said there were many people deserving of a vote, and both of you have contributed so much in different ways.

    Someone who has done more to point out the issues is Coder27, who for his troubles got banned, so what sort of message is that .... keep quiet or we'll do it for you.?

     

    Whoever decides they should have it, you deserve it regardless of the actual number of votes.

  • DON'T VOTE for me!!!!  I have no clue how I'm on the list, but I shouldn't be!!!  I didn't even vote for myself!  Thanks e14 for putting me up there, I guess, but DON'T vote for me!!!!

     

    I am confident that e14 employees are not eligible for poll, but Drew Fustini should be on here!!!!  He absolutely goes beyond the role of an employee on this site and really makes the community better!!!!!

     

    (I'm off to figure out if I can make an employee of the year poll!)

    I didn't even know there was a poll, I don't seem to get these community event invites/notifications. This may be one reason for such a small turn out, if people don't know they can't vote, comment or participate.
