| TalonMan said: At which point did you think we were Gamefaqs, 1up, IGN - further, as usual with you, you skip examples that you KNOW won't support your theories. Why don't you head over to Gamespot and let me know where they keep their guides, 'mkay? As I've said before, you seem to have no clue about any of the features on this site. You pop-off and continually tell us how WE should do things to make it easier for YOU and I'm sorry, that's just not the way it works. That FAQ thread has been up since we launched - yeah, nordlead has made many revisions to it, but I promise you - the cheat/faq stuff has not changed since his original posting. You are just incredibly lazy and can't be bothered to read anything... No, the error is not fixed yet - I was waiting for your reply to my PM before I moved forward... ...but I'm sure you already knew that.

I give up.
This wasn't supposed to be giant argument or even an argument. I just wanted to put up a character guide I made for a game I'm playing. I went to the FAQ page where I'm used to seeing guides and walkthroughs on other websites and didn't see the functionality. I also didn't see any instructions on where to find it so I came here to ask. I didn't ask to get shit on for not reading some FAQ thread. I mean, there's not even a link to it on those pages.
As for the error, no I didn't already know that. I haven't tried the pages since the first three times it failed so stop being so snarky about the whole thing.
| TalonMan said: Oh, Mr. 'Tude himself can dish it but not take it??? Sorry dude, but you have CONSISTENTLY poked critism at every single new feature we have ever released on this site - and not in a constructive manner, I might add. It has ALWAYS been loaded with sarcasm, telling us how we have no clue what we're doing when it usually stems from your own ignorance from not reading threads or articles about what we're doing and why. You get 'shit on' for the same reason you did when the FIRST thread went up on the cheat requests - you admitted a WEEK ago about not having read up on any of the features and amazingly have STILL not read up on any of it! And you wonder why my patience is short with you?!?!?

You know, every time I commented on a part of the website that I felt was incomplete, I did suggest a way to improve it. Not too long ago when people were complaining about seeing cheat requests they didn't care about, I suggested the "All, Only what you own, none" options. It's nice to see you implemented that. My comments may come off as harsh in part because you're highly sensitive to criticism and in part because they are often fairly harsh, but I make them because I genuinely want to see vgChartz improve.
As for the FAQ thread, I think it goes both ways. I think you're right that I should have read it more closely a while ago. I also think it's fair to say that there needs to be more clarity on the actual game pages about their purpose or a link to such. It's one thing to put up a website FAQ, but unless you link to it in various places and promote it then you're basically relying on users needing to hunt for the instructions to how things work when they don't work as expected.
| TalonMan said: Trust me, I am NOT sensitive to critism - I am, however, sensitive to criticism without merit. If you would find a way to tone down your 'harshness' believe me, your criticisms would be much better received. Unfortunately, you nearly ALWAYS follow some point with a 'you guys don't know how to make things intuitive' when in fact, things are fairly intuitive if just an ounce of thought is put into it. Just because you want to see this site succeed and improve does not give you the right to be insulting and sarcastic. There's a right way to do things and a wrong way - and this is the second time I've had to call you out on going about things the wrong way (think back to when the IM was first introduced - you trashed me for charging people $$ for it when I clearly outlined my motivations in a news article about it, which again, you didn't read) In general, we HAVE been working on setting up a true 'FAQ' page with all the ins and outs of all the new features. Nordlead has been working on that and when it's done, believe me, you won't be able to ignore it as I'll make sure it's available on almost every page... |
A real FAQ page sounds great. I'll look forward to it. In the meantime, I'll work on "toning down the harshnress."
