my 2 peneth worth is i hope the community does continue to help as this is still a remarkable phone even with it's flaws.

I completely agree with you 100% and it now is very clear that the rules a regs of this community are NOT WORKING so please Reggie do look at this seriously and you will learn not only who the culprits are by the offending posts and the thankyou's that go with them, it is not difficult to work out and to be honest it is a real downer for your community and making it very very clear indeed that the rules apply to the majority but the bussom pals can say and do anything on here ..... and get away with it !.

Have you actually reported any of these posts you're objecting to, or are you expecting Reggie to single-handedly read through every single post of every single thread?

I am sorry to say this but the last post i reported got a reply from a Mod who i will not name to get a life !.

It is getting worse and is very very offending to everyone that has to read through the attacking going on so i can only say this... please report them because you may just get a result.

The biggest problem on here is the offenders are very VERY pally with the Mods and that is the reason nothing is done and the reason people are just leaving.

All i wish for is the good and quite frankly my comments are drastically lacking personal feeling because at least i go by the rules.

@abill: I will not play your blame game, but I will connect some logical missing links for you:

- What you think as 'pally' are most likely like-minded people agreeing each other's posts so they don't have to make a duplicate post. I can assure you there have been no conspiratorial private messages, nor secretive irc meetings nor weekly book clubs.

- Those 'attacks' that you mentioned? They basically started off responding to your:
a). incredulous claims (your various unproved, unbacked hacking claims).
b). strong worded remarks which are based on misunderstood concepts (allusion to this mythical super-organized 'community' that are holding things back, which precludes yourself somehow).
c). continuous emotional rebuttals, which brings more and more people and variables into this vortex of ****.

Let's put all this behind us.

Let's see you put the money where your mouth is.

Now i think something will be done aas they simply carry on and on and on.

The offending does not effect me but it DOES effect everyone reading the blatent rule breaking so Reggie please take care of this i ask you for everyone on this community.

@OP

I have deliberately chosen to defend some points you made and I did so by stating that I prefer people who speak their mind bluntly but fair above people that do the opposite. There is, however one thing attached to that approach: chances are people will speak to you as bluntly as they rated your opening post.

You probably know the saying about heat and kitchens and staying out of kitchens if you canīt stand the heat. Ignore the people you donīt like and get on with the things that are important. Please.

Judging by some of your previous timewasting abuses of the moderation system you have only yourself to blame.

None of this is possible without a strong community. And that is how I interpreted the use of the dreaded word "us".

This isn't just semantics. abill_uk IS a native English speaker and his choice of separating "community" from "us" gives the appearance of creating two audiences here. Some have asked for clarification and received none.

I see the thread title as divisive, which supports the opposite of a strong community. And you acknowledge being new, which indicates you are likely still lacking the context that would help you understand where some responders are coming from.

If abill_uk doesn't mean to create the perception of division, then I would suggest he reword the thread title so we can unwrap from that axle.

EDIT: but again, the thread has become about the poster rather than his subject. I am hovering over the Close function...
