Don't know if the green block is any help or even a so so indicator. I have yet to see any color but green. Even a new Forum member with only 5 total posts "is on a distinguished path".
When I look at my User information, I can see when people have taken the time to use the scales icon to rate/leave feedback but I don't believe others can see that only the member (please correct me if this is wrong). I think a good point was made that most trolls or trolling is done on purpose by somebody that just signed up. So again I will also voice that Forum Join Date and total number of posts has some degree of bearing on this subject. The few that become trolls over time tend to get to aggressive and end up getting banded from the Forum. I would also have to agree with Pat that some of the recent comments and frustration over the Touch release delay have been unwarranted and over the top at times. I responded to several of them out of attempting to correct errors and rumors but that only seemed to create more posting. I would guess the one that caused Pat to start this tread is the one that I started to answer 3 separate times and ended up deleting my reply each time before posting as typing it let me get my frustration out and better judgement enabled me to realize that if the poster actually felt that way then my post wouldn't help and would probably just cause more posting along the same lines. All in all this is an excellent Forum with level and equal moderation (great job administers). The members by and large follow the Forum Rules and I believe more often then not attempt to help other members. Lastly, this is one of the few Forums where members can speak their minds about the Company and Products without fear that negative posts will be deleted just because they are not glowing posts about company and its products. It is also my opinion that Squeezebox would not be where it is today without this open environment of a pretty much free to speak what is on ones mind Forum, open source software, pluggins, and the company listening to customers wants, dreams, and wishes as well as actively reading and replying to the Forum. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76315 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
