Well, I take that back....maybe all this griping actually did do some good. After a rather heated phone call with the head developer about this matter that’s been going on for weeks, I can confirm that he’s actually wrapping up the code changes now.
In addition to removing the publicly-visible Activities and Summary sections, I’ve also asked him to modify the “Address” section to make it more idiot-proof. You’ll still have to report it if someone posts an address that shouldn’t be posted...but I expect you’ll see less of that going forward.
He claims these changes will be visible to users once he takes them from the test environment to the live site, in approx 30 minutes from now.
This will affect anything that’s posted from now going forward. Anything that’s already been posted has been reported and addressed. There is still an ongoing effort to retro back and hit those reviews that have already been posted but removing content from the ones that were posted and not reported seems like censorship to me and people have been very good at promptly reporting items that could be harmful. If you see anything else please let us know.
To wrap this up, if anyone still thinks I don’t care, Id like to issue a big fuck you to you. If that applies to you, I don’t give a fuck how it makes you feel. I’m irritated by some of the remarks posted here. Damn fucking right I can remove any fucking thing I like, including you...but those of you who know me know that’s not how I operate. I don’t remove shit just because I’m insulted by it....I just respond. And I’m brutally honest with what I have to say. Always. I don’t give a fuck for being politically correct and I won’t take time to sugar coat shit for the thin-skinned bunch.
You can like me or you can hate me. Really don’t give a shit. But I do fucking care about this place and about its members and I’ll always do what I feel is right for this site, whether you like it or not.
If you have thick enough skin to put up with me when I’m venting, then you’ll be rewarded with a usable and functional site that continues to evolve for the better long into the future. If you don’t, do yourself and everyone else here a favor, and just go away. We don’t need a spectacle or a big dramatic exit, just stop fucking posting.
Have a nice night and hope you enjoy the changes.
