Communicating with the Moderators.

'stuff' to be thunking of

Friday, December 2, 2005 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

With two and a half million odd site members [ok...some are less odd] ... it's often difficult, bordering on pathologically impossible to know/remember each and every one of you guys ['guys' is a generic term....actually includes 'gals'].....

So....

When emailing an admin/mod with the latest drama to beset mankind since the second coming, or last ice age....it's real neat and handy to remind us/them all of who and/or what you might be known as/by....aka...WC 'Nick'.

Dang it if it doesn't help big-time...

"hi, Fred here again, Jafo....about that upload last fall....." [methinks....'when was/is 'fall'?]...

Equally important, however is 'intercourse', aka 'dialogue', whereby confirmation of communication via acknowledgement can really help in stemming the potential angst of those imparting 'requests' that they are indeed heeded.

Issues arise from time to time over all sorts of weird and whacky [ (sp) never did look right] communications that go either unheeded or just not received.

If a Mod/Admin finds a drama that warrants communication then it's only appropriate that there's a reasoned response....

Supposedly even 'F.A.B' was alleged to mean 'Fully Acknowledged Broadcast'...but was later claimed to be just 'fab' as in 'brille', except made to look meaningful with punctuation...

Whatever....either way, don't forget that the simple, polite response can avert future recriminations and/or hair-pulling...

I would expect you to know each and everyone of us personally. Next time I have a problem and I tell you my wallpaper that I uploaded awhile ago didn't get approved, you better damn know what wall I am talking about, and who I am. I don't have time for piddly details.

I get emails all the time that go like this...Hey nice blind, can I get the wallpaper?

Easy-peasy...

Sorry Paul, I'll try to give a bit more information next time.
But you didn't have to make a post about it, a simple email would've done the trick.

Ahh, the old 'let me use a 3rd person to get a quicker response' routine.
Does it work at all?

Sincerely yours,

I find it hard to believe you would forget me.

I just have to say how impressed I am that every time I have e-mailed an admin (100% of the time it has been Jafo), I get a response and get it very quickly. Very impressed indeed.

The strange thing is....every now and then you will communicate with someone via email, expecting a response...and you get none.

So...

What DO you do?

Do you exile them anyway....[if they are not bothering to respond then they won't be bothered to be removed], or....

Continue on regardless....assuming the fault is all your own and the errant emails are in someone's spam bin?

The last person who refused to respond in any form WAS removed.

Communication takes two.  When it's one-sided silence will be construed to the non-respondent's detriment.

 

 

 

Bottom line....remember to read your emails.....
