Blogging rules...

"Blogs are for OPINIONS, news, IDEAS. Post in Blogs ONLY if you have something to tell about the topic."

My OPINION about this topic is that the rules apparently are a superficial attempt at telling people what and where they can have their opinions. In reality the rules are more like: "When ever I go on the rag and don't like something that's said I'll delete it. Because I can so to hell with who ever doesn't like it. And I don't have to man up to it either."

I have an IDEA...

As soon as Boonex stops wasting valuable energy subjectively policing comments by upset customers and deleting every desenting post because someone has a control issue, and utilizes that energy to porvide support for their product when a question is asked, handle the patches in a very different way etc. Then Dolphin will be a very respectable program. Stop letting the simplistic minds of the control freaks run the show, actually LISTEN to what people are saying without taking it all so personally and you'll be going somewhere.

At the moment there's the beautiful house built on a fragile and unsustainable foundation. Without a strong foundation the bells and wistles above it won't stand the test of time.

Now you can start the count down for the deletion of this post as well.

Part of the problem ist that the Boonex site has gotten far too convoluted with stuff that ends up mixed everywhere, partially because of seriously bad to non-existent support that some members have been experiencing, and partially because the whole Boonex/Dolphin site has gotten too large i.e. with too many options all over the place. Like they say, too many cooks spoil the soup ....

The first thing that ought to be done is to distinctly separate and define the purpose of the forum, the general see more

There's a big restructuring coming. I mean it. Real soon. And it should benefit everyone here.

As I said before BoonEx is going to be powered by Dolphin soon, and the Unity will be substituted by the new Dolphin system, along with policy changes and moderation rules.

@Footman

we never remove posts for critique or even bashing. We value negative feedback more than positive, always. I hear your post was removed/hidden. I'll check why on Monday, but I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, see more

Uno, thank you. I appreciate you stopping in, commenting and looking into things. I'm looking forward to the restructuring s well. I do honestly believe it is a fantastic product and have high hopes for it as I'm sure you do as well.

For the sake of full disclosure my original deleted post was neither negative nor positive. It was the first of a journal of steps I'm taking towards my first site with Dolphin. What problems arise and how I deal with them as well as any thoughts on design, seo etc see more

The blog rules really really confuse me, ive only tried making one blog and i was talking about helping members to remember to use the search function on the forum and to remember to try and name your questions correctly to help the search functions work properly to help members in the future when they search for a problem, and the blog got deleted so i havent bothered after that as i didnt understand why id gone against the rules. when you look at the blogs allowed to stay up, i gave up trying to see more
