I think you need to wind your neck in.
Coincidentally, that was the exact phrase that went through my mind when someone called me patronising earlier.
Here’s the deal. I understand the need for advertising (and specifically, the EpicTV feed) from a commercial perspective. I also understand and empathise with people’s frustrations when there are teething issues with changes to the site.
As a moderator, I’m trying to do what I can to help communication between the people who run the business (and let’s not forget, it is a business) and the people who consume its products. I’m trying to provide as much transparency as I’m at liberty to give so that the forum users are kept in the loop rather than sitting there going “well this is all shit”. I’m also trying to be objective; as however much revenue advertising does or does not generate, I see a small percentage of sod all. So I have no vested interest other than as a user of the forum who would quite like it to continue to exist.
So, I’m trying to provide explanations, manage expectations, and offer suggestions where I can (as I do elsewhere on the forum). If my efforts aren’t good enough, I can always stop if you’d prefer?
If you don’t like the tone of my responses so far, I’d wager you’re really not going to like the tone of the one I’d like to give you right now, because frankly I’m spitting feathers.
Fire away.
Your tone is patronising. andytherocketeer is spot on with his post above. Instead of lecturing everyone on their use of the internet why not wait until you have a proper answer, I know this might upset you even more.. but some people here might be more knowledgeable about these things than you. Your tone is off.
