Nothing tells the full truth like time. There's still at least a solid month before the N9 comes out. During that time, Nokia will continue to do what they think is best for them; regardless if we fans disagree, they're going down a path that is decidely without MeeGo (for now) and wholly behind Windows Phone 7. Don't like what's being said around here? Then be the adult and remove yourself from that cycle. I will be doing so. I'll remain curious, but will continue to research in other areas until the N9 is out and tested. Then and only then can I make an informed decision on that device. Be adult, remain curious, pull back. That's my suggestion. |

Dan, Gerbick,
don't remember who of you two was always saying that TMO should go back to ITT; seems to have happened now :confused: any idea what happened? |

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
Lovely to see that we have got people like SD69 on this community that are even willing to step forward and tell it the way it is, what a breath of fresh air !.
He deserves a LOT of grattitude even for the courage to do so !. |
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
He even quoted woody14619 and his well said argument against the troubles of "openess".
I have said many times on here that we need to just rip Maemo and rebuild it, with or without Nokia's approval (including 3rd parties) because lets face it if we wait for red tape crap then Maemo dies, simple as that. MeeGo was long an argument from me with stskeeps and now that seems to have turned true to my words. If i were to start a poll to find out just how many are willing to reverse engineer Maemo i am sure it would get a forcible yes and a stream of support. It has long been said by me that this community is full of dreamers that actually know the way forward but for what ever reasons do not make it come true, i say to hell with red tape and start engineering !. |

yesterday (was it?) when i posted it, all my URLs were with the internettablettalk.com domain :o :confused: maybe that... http://www.internettablettalk.com/20...ng-maemo-talk/ ? then again, this is a year and 11 min old... maybe a glitch with the TMO domain? is TMO in fact hosted @ ITT and TMO URL is simply badged over it? |

suspected that, but glad to hear it from an authoritative source. if TMO is still (also?) part of ITT, how comes the "better" moderation rules don't apply (anymore?) |
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
Trying to get people to pull together in this forum is somewhat of an impossible task thanks to trolls and people who just want the arguments.

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
Abill I'm replying to your post in the Council_Update thread here to avoid the continued derailing of that thread .
Quote:
The bit about 'overwriting of important emmc structure' is complete claptrap. Stop typing and read up about what you are discussing. There is no issue whatsoever with reflashing a device once the CSSU has been applied. So your FUD contradicts the next statement you made because you harm the CSSU effort when you spread ill-informed bs. The last line is also FUD.. |

Think about this ok.... if a post that was deliberatly trying to start a war or a troll or whatever constitues a problem post was deleted off here then it would get people to understand more about making problems BUT unfotunatly that would mean more work from the mods . A no win situation here unless the mods step up on this. Start giving infraction points out to these kind of people and you will see it stop i am sure. I get them for just breathing on here !!!!!!. |
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
You should try considering that maybe you're mistaken about all that, abill_uk.
Crazier things have happened. |

If i can get infractions for even being on the receiving end of the trolling etc then something is very wrong with the moderating methods on here. even on this thread i never try to start a war and this is an off topic thread !. You enjoy a war you said but really what does it achieve?. Elaborate please?. |
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
ysss in my opinion is one of if not the worst offender on here and he gets away with it because of his membership length, does HE ever get infractions? no dont bother to tell me just look it up and then go look at every post he has ever thanked, its all traceable.
Moderation is all wrong on this forum because it still is one rule for them and another for us. No wonder there is no movement when too many sarcastic people are allowed to ruin things by starting a war and some are very very cunning about it such as giving thanks to whom post the argumentative posts. I do not have to read the crap from ysss because he is on my ignore list as the first one but take a look at his posts seriously and you will see where i am coming from. Do something about HIM and i will consider the moderators to be doing there job properly and in a good way. |
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
ysss in my opinion should face a ban for what he/she has done on this forum and i formally request one even if it means the banning of myself in doing so !.
|
Re: COmmunity rant thread.
Let's do this.
I will gladly make that trade for maemo. |

I did consider leaving this forum but i got too engrossed in the hardware of the N900 and needed much from this normally a good society even if it is spoilt by some. Ban me if you must for these remarks but i feel strongly about this among others i might add, sorry. Please find a way to stop people from deliberatly trying to start arguments and usually succeeding by the thanks they get and this place will be a good place like the old days. |

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
What we really need is more powerful forum software. I've glanced at the built-in vBulletin functionality and it doesn't have the right tools for members to properly separate themselves from the likes of an abill_uk. Maybe in the next few weeks I'll make a server-side software-change proposal that will end these kind of debates once and for all. Then a member could put abill_uk in their own virtual padded cell if he or she chooses to. The moderation could decrease by an order of magnitude, and this would be in Nokia's, the council's and the community's best interest.
So, ysss, stay where you are; abill_uk, be quiet until we get the software in place. |

This is what i am on about here as favouratism among mods, there is no honor in this whatsoever and makes the mods look biased. I have often said of you to be a very good mod and an example to follow but please give some ground here at least, it is not all my doing after all. |

abill_uk..... I think you have made useful contributions. I think it's your british wit that doesn't translate to print very well (like the quote above) I've had had differences of opinion with other members like ysss and pradabada, I usually make an incredibly intelligent and inciteful post or two and then let the fellow members sort it out. Sometimes I feel like I want to have an "IM" type discussion on the forum but that's when I realize that maybe I should cool off and wait a while before responding....... or take it to PM. I know there are no winners on the forums or the internet. I've been a moderator on various forums and every time you apply rules, the inbox lights up! It isn't all praise, you can never make everyone happy. It's not all about you, me, ysss or anybody. It's not about right or wrong, it's the internet for crying out loud! It's about the journey, kinda like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, you have to enjoy the good stuff, avoid the bad stuff and brush your teeth regularly.:D Pretty existential huh? :eek: |

With abill_uk it's not so much leakage than a overflowing tide of noise. My ignore list is empty again. No point in trying to ignore. His antics cause such strong reaction that all I get is flow of angry quotes between blocked messages. Can just as easily just stop reading threads afte abill's first message. Maybe forum software that would allow option to ignore whole threads, if they have messages from people on ignore. I would actually like something like that. Quote:
