  • complaint about support

    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF to all on Sat Jan 25 03:13:00 2025
    I don't know what you guys did to this guy but he's posting
    on the shitty bbs reddit ALL OVER complaining about you "elite synchronet gurus" who refused to help him and tell him to "read the wiki"

    how dare you. how dare you.

    I said reading the wiki and learning by doing is a good way to do things... guess what i got! a downvote! :{

    then i told him about sexpots and he referred me to his previous synchronet bashing. now a day later, just 25 mins ago he's thanking someone to pointing him to sexpots.

    you guys need to shape up or you're going to chase away good people!

    I blocked him and deleted my helpful comments.

    ehh.. I happened to see that, and saw you also mention to him something about if you can't read the wiki/documentation and learn from it, then maybe BBSing isn't a hobby for him, and if someone like you can set up and run BBS then anyone can.

    I can be added to THAT list as well. I find a search for an issue on Google will stand a good chance of getting you at least a couple fixes. Thank goodness for that one.

    I wish the search function was more effective in Synchronet - there have
    been times I've looked for a fix I read in a message on my BBS and found
    it on someone else's board in a web search. :(

    It's a community and I suppose that's the way it works. You'd be
    surprised (maybe not) how AI solves tech problems sometimes.

    It's not AI, it's someone else's message bases indexed by Google and
    available online instead of looking at my own local message bases.
