citation :MothandMoon says : Well what the Hell is wrong with a little email explaining why the Submission was ignored. Why leave people hanging around waiting for an explanation that never comes. It's also your duty to be courteous on here. Where is your apology to ThreeDaysInDarkness. At least miniradman said hello to the guy. I'm sorry but some of the validators on SoM really get under my skin. Most of you are rude and incompetent. |
I think that some people validators are rude and some are nice. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think that some validators only validate one person's submitions. I looked through my validations and found that I only get 2 or 3 at the most looking at mine. (luckily mine are nice and are easy going

). I think if some validators are downright rude, they SHOULD be named and shamed because I don't think that disrespecting individuals will encourage them to make more submissions or create a good image for the site. I don't like the feeling of validators condescending, it just feels hostile at times

. That being said, I have a feeling that there are assholes who refuse to correct their submissions and argue.
I like the 14 day thing SoM has at the moment (which I thought was fair), but I once had a penalty before where I didn't even get a modifications request. I'm not an expert on human psychology but I don't think people would want to keep contributing after reciving something like that. I just got to the point where I told them to forward my submissions to another validator who is much better and people friendly
But yeah I agree with you mate, we should atleast get somekind of notification on how our submissions are going. Thats one of the things that have been getting on my nerves about this site and something I've complained about that thats the lack of communication between the people who run the site, and the people who keep the site alive. Especially between french and the english side, we are kept in the dark and whenever I ask about ANYTHING, I'm always ignored...
err... I'm getting off track
The
Bottom line is: some validators are nice, some are rude and some are misunderstood (especially the ones who only speak french, they might come off as rude, but in
Fact they are using a translator which doesn't recognize idomatic expressions

) and if someone is unlucky enough to get a mean one... tell them that they are being rude and to send your
Submission to another validator or admin.

might not agree with your updates . Our duty is to check up with many
sources before changing statuses . So if the changes you are suggesting
are debatable , maybe the team is reluctant to do them . |

but this guy is in the actual band... why would there be any debate?
I remember having fun once, it was terrible...
