Chopping off their own feet....

@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. -

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

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.

I've been out of the SP for a long time. What am I missing?
-
What you're missing is IRJ bitching about mods with no justification,
A post got deleted, IRJ called the mods about it, even though he admitted that the OP had deleted the post themselves, but apparently that's all the mods fault.
As a current mod I don't like getting called on rumour, hearsay and personal viewpoints.
-
So a whole thread for deleted by the OP?
-
Yes , a whole thread of bitching about mods because a poster deleted his own post.
-
Mangolassi and Spiceworks are two separate things, but going to the one to bitch about the other doesn't sit well with me.
The only reason I've posted here is for clarification, otherwise it's a "oh, those nasty people at Spiceworks" comment.
-
@Huw3481 that links from ML to SW are allowed but not in the reverse doesn't sit well with me either. You are allowed to link answers and references from anywhere except here.
-
@scottalanmiller There has been no directive to mods to delete ML posts. That's a ridiculous state if it's a helpful post. You might as well delete posts that reference Technet, Petri or Experts Exchange.
Got any examples?
-
@Huw3481 no examples as they were all deleted. But we were told we'd have to pay for them to stay.
-
But I agree. This site shouldn't be a place to talk about other forums (in a negative way at least, positive stuff is fine.)

Touche.
I posted here to keep from exposing it too broadly to see if it was happening to anyone else. But probably best to call it out to everyone.
-
At least it is far better and most honest posting here. They see every posted and nothing is secret it hidden. It's far better than having a secret posting area. Often posts have gone here to allow a conversation to happen without overly advertising it to the world. But the secret groups to have conversations that only select people can see... That's a much bigger issue.
But the bad things that other communities do is no excuse to sink towards their level. So you are both right. In the spirit of avoiding their mistakes, we should definitely avoid anything approaching that style of behavior.
