Fair enough. So let's take a look over there, shall we? Here is the same question about the in-app billing not working: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=331d1590e7ae94db&hl=en And here is the same question about the content policy that you told the OP to post in the support forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?fid=6d6cc0380c0b10d500049d3f4f0f3433&hl=en Now let's count the total number of responses from Google. Zero. In fact, the only response to either question is from yours truly telling the poster that no one is going to respond to them. Even sadder, my responses are "the best answer". Unfortunately, I continue to be correct. See, the problem is that people go to the "official support" forum looking for help and they get ignored. Then they move over into other Android-related forums hoping to get answers. Unfortunately, they are either ignored again or are re-directed back to the "appropriate" forum where they were ignored to begin with. It is *beyond* frustrating. > The people here work on the platform, not on Market.

I meant no offense to any of you and I'm sure the other two that I personally have not seen around here before help out elsewhere that I'm not aware of. My point is simply this: getting actual support or answers for legitimate issues relating to the Android Market is nigh impossible - regardless of the channel one goes through. Meanwhile a thread with the threat of being spammed gets the attention of 4 Googlers. Pathetically, this thread has received more Google attention than anything in the Market Support forum, whether the responders have anything to do with the Market or not. And *that* is what I find so very sad about this situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
