      Back on the topic of chopping off their own feet...

      I just read a thread in the VoIP forum over there that is absolute trash. The OP asked about a specific brand of PBX that he looked at and the thread turned into nothing but GG posting a "contact me" reply. This has absolutely no benefit to the community. There was very minimal useful posting in the thread from people like @scottalanmiller and @NetworkNerd among others.

      Hell there is even flat out bad information about Asterisk based solutions from the Digium GG because he is pushing their SwitchVox solution.

      Just really a horrible example of what SW is becoming.

        @JaredBusch I'm floating around under a different name and account right now trying to help without using my spice level as a tool to prove how knowledgeable I am. Which I'm finding is quite an odd struggle, people see RAM. as Habenero and they ask me questions, acknowledge my knowledge, and don't always question me. Now I'm poblano and it's hard to even get recognized at all.

        One more point to not being a fan of the ranking system there.

          There is one outright troll that has been trolling so long there that he is habanero too. What a problem that is!

            i hate trolls, I was trolled by someone who created separate accounts just to troll me on a single thread in sw. I reported that user, then he calls me a snitch. These types of forums aren't Reddit, and it irritates me to no end why people go out of their way to troll others. Either be useful or leave, pretty straight forward to me.

              Wow. I've never seen that happen over there. That's crazy.

                oh yeah what made it even better is the user PM'd me and admitted to doing that, saying it was fun because i seemed mad. I could tell he was a younger user since they were slinging around phrases such as yolo and crap like that.

                    not sure, i received a pm from a sw employee saying that if the user tries to contact me again to let them know. At this point I don't care and it's not worth my time to continue that, it was just annoying to have to deal with. One would think you could hope for some sort of professionalism out of users, but i guess not.

                      Hell I've been called a troll, and been told I was mean because I called a troll a troll. I like to feed them, because it flushes them out for what they really are.

                        I had tried to troll using another account, got banhammered in about 2 hours. It was called Slade02, and was going to be the anti-slade alter ego 🙂

                            We should make "Slade Day" and have dozens of people all make Slade accounts all at once.

                              @scottalanmiller I was really put off by a post he had put up that was allowed to stand for a good amount of time that was related to him trying to hack facebook accounts, I made some very snarky remarks in many of his posts after that. The app was called "Facecrack.exe" and after he loaded it on his Windows 8.1 PC (gasp!) he started getting all sorts of weird DLL errors.

                                My alt account isn't for trolling I promise 😄 I'm just angry with spiceworks, and people know me as RAM so started using my alt account so I can stay somewhat hidden.

                                  IP address will trip you up 100% of the time 😉

                                    Why did these changes happen? Did they grow too fast?

                                      They see your IP address, just FYI. So it only hides you to the end users.

                                        They are on their way to IPO. They have new corporate task masters. A lot of things aren't so much changes as greater exposure.

                                          As they prepare for IPO they need to be positioned for Wall St. That doesn't always mean making customers happy.
