No, I dont expect thing to be magically fixed, like I said, I would not be particually bothered and would simply go in game to see auction data there.
The point I am making is that you have what i would consider a pretty poor attitude regarding updating the site based on your responses here. I am not talking about speed of response or anything like that, just your general attitude to people asking perfectly reasonable questions. Even your responce to that was "better off without them".
Fine. Not sure at all how you correlate the responses here to anything to do with updating the site. Please tell me what question you saw as perfectly reasonable. Here is what I see/saw:
Someone noticed that the auction data had stopped updating. They then pretend to be a party to the understanding of the conditions it was transfered. Why they even include this irrelevant fact , who knows. They then go on to saying that this affects some other sites. Then they ask if anyone can shed some light on this. So they assume this had to do with the transfer, they make unwarranted aspirations on the intent and instead of asking the people who could most directly answer feel the need to make a public post. This was/is not a polite way to do it.
Had they posted/reported that the site had an issue, my response would have been a simple thank you and also asking them to report it more directly.
Next post alludes to it being all messed up, says R.I.P. and yet gives no specifics anything could be looked into from.
Then it is said it would be helpful to know when to expect fresh data to be recorded.
I then respond back with information.... where I do try to 'shed some light' and say it would be helpful if they reported things directly. How is that impolite or unreasonable?
Now, the response I got to this was basically, I can't be bothered and you should do more.
Perhaps a more sensible response would be to
try encourage these people that you seem to consider a waste of space to start contributing in a more meaningful way... all you have done so far is alienate them. Read back your first few posts on this thread, they seem very negative to me... almost "dissing" people for daring to raise a post here rather than the forum on PEauction.... personally I find remaining polite and informative a better way to deal with people, suggesting alternatives rather than critising them for not following procedures they were not aware of...
just my opinion of course... politeness costs nothing
As for 'following procedures' they are not aware of, is it not common sense that the best way to get something fixed is to contact people that are able to fix? I simple was saying this common sense fact, that if someone wants an issue resolved more quickly, the best way is to make sure we know about it. The best way to do that is to contact us more directly on the site. How is this a bad attitude? First reply was an attempt to encourage them to do just that. They reply I got back indicated this was not going to work. Your replies indicate that this is not worth the effort as well.
As for politeness, I am polite to those who are polite to me, and have been polite to all but a couple of people in game and on the forums. This thread though was not a polite way to report the issue.
I still stand by what I said after reviewing things.
