Hobo-our last tryst I think we resolved the last issue which was about LW .30 having the toilet paper icon concerning "Individually shared files". You just automatically shared newly downloaded files and didn't appear to be able to do anything about it.
Two days ago, I decided to try .30 again and see if I couldn't fight it. Someone must have listened to us, or others, because the feature is no longer mandatory. You can opt out.
I went to your link about automatically generated spam. Good to know you are on top of things. And here I thought I had discovered a new disease threatening mankind!
Now, if you would just use your political influence to provide a way to notify a host that a particular file "Ain't What He Thinks it is". If you can browse a host, I would think there would be a way to flag a file or send an automated note asking him to look at a particular file. These files are spreading like bird flu. I posted in a thread where a typo I made on a shared file returned over 450 results in a search I did 6 months later. It had the exact typo error and anyone who looked at it would have known it That is not a serious problem but it demonstrates how quickly a bad file can replicate.
My other Christmas wish is for Bitcollider to have a simple "here's what it says. here's what it should say". I don't have the slightest idea as to the accuracy of all the tags they offer you to QA. And, their site is slow. I'm not sure I see the same screen twice when I do send them a file. I'd rather spend my time with LW but I'm willing to help their effort if it doesn't cause physical or mental anquish.
I applaud you for your efforts to help abandoned waifs in the forums. I found two such LW user's in the wrong forum. One had languished there for 2 weeks without a response and the other was soundly chastised for being in the forum at all (not a LW forum). I e-mailed them both with answers to their simple problems and offers to help more if they needed it. I also apologized for the way they were treated and recommended they get in the correct forum and read the stickies. I believe they are recommending me for Sainthood very soon. I only responded to the easy ones. Of course the way some questions are asked I don't know the answer because I don't understand their question. Again, newbies need some hand holding. |
