Re: User-friendliness of talk.maemo.org

@MountainX: Hmm yeah, it seems the default skin omits the checkbox somehow.

For the time being, you can unsubscribe (manually) by going to the thread, and using the 'unsubscribe' option from the 'thread tool' pull down menu just above the first post on the page.

That's a known bug in the default Talk theme, and one that will be fixed soon, I hope. Until then, you'll need to switch to another theme temporarily to unsubscribe from threads, I'm sorry to say.

JUST QUIT THE STUPID ARGUING
the last 2 weeks or so everyone seemed to be getting on better, i have even started to feel part of here now and feel excepted but the last couple days everyone seems to have gone crazy again with arguing and immature behavior
few examples
balloon boy thread
this one
Dev discount
did you device ship
these 4 threads really show us in a bad light,
ppl with disputes should sort it in private, making fun of maybe dead kids should be never allowed and sexual talk and profanity should not be allowed.
we need to act more professional as people will come here from all walks of life and our aim should be to help each other and others here for the first time, good first impressions are critical when wanting to get new people on board

Clarification can be asked via PM. Did you mean to offend me by saying [...]

I won't pretend yours were intended to be anything but degrading and nefarious. I'm mean, and I sometimes let my emotions get the better of me, but I'm far from stupid. I know exactly what you intended by saying "If it wasn't blatantly obvious that you're trying to draw people to your maemo site by pointing out how bad this one is." You are totally wrong, and I stand by what I say.

Wow, you never listed "psychic" in your long list of skills.

Oh ya, and you are wrong. You read what you want to.

Quote:

Your "gripe" is unwarranted. You made a false comment about me, based on nothing other than a personal assumption.

Wow, isn't that what you just did to me in the previous quote? Nice.

Quote:

Anyone that has spent any time in the Symbian, WinMo, or Android communities would tell you that I'm rarely self serving, and always being an advocate for others.

LMFAO, everything you say is self-serving... You originated the call for portrait mode / ASR, right?

|||EDIT The funniest article ever |||

Quote:

I didn't blow your comment out of proportion. You told a lie about me, and it could negatively affect my site, readers, and forums.

Sorry, that prospect doesn't bother me in the least.

What lie did I tell? That you are trying to gain traffic? Your signature alone proves that to be true.

Quote:

To imply I'm bad mouthing any site to poach readers or attract them to an alternative is pretty low, and you'd be offended, too, were the shoe on the other foot. You've just continued the rudeness I'd experienced here in the past, even though I've personally apologized and left that behind, and out of the blue, so I lumped you in with that old group. Just check the sarcasm and rudeness at the door WITH ME, and keep it serious. It causes too much confusion, and its not always funny.

Well you're still welcome there, regardless how you treat me. I'll treat you with respect regardless.

Any Maemo forum where I am in the top-5 of Maemo knowledge is not one that I want to be a part of.

Quote:

Why not avoid talking about how smoothly YOUR experience is here, as you're obviously an insider,

An insider? I'm a guy who bought a tablet. If that makes me an insider, then apparently [almost] everyone here is an insider as well.

Quote:

How can someone with login issues PM a Moderator he doesn't even know, and don't you need to be logged in for that?

Either you're trying to spin something, or you need to re-read. PM'ing a moderator on tmo only requires you to be logged in to tmo, which apparently he is, or else he couldn't post.

Playing dumb does not become you.

Quote:

I know the topic is supposed to be for technical solutions, but the attitude issues will have to be addressed sooner or later. I'm getting so sick of the childishness and crass behavior. This is OUR site, and everyone should be welcome, not just insiders. This will boil over again and again without some sort of intervention and governance.

Nice Us-vs-them propaganda.

Hey everybody, I'm an insider! What does that even mean?

LOL.

Have you noticed that YOU are central in all these recent types of arguments?

Maybe it's just you.

(All my fellow insiders will agree ;))

Re: User-friendliness of talk.maemo.org

I've conferred with my fellow insiders, and we have determined that this has gone far enough.

I've said what I need to say, and shall say no more on the subject.

Tally, ho!

After conferring with my fellow sociopaths, we concur. :)

... lets move on.

Community = More us, less me.
This is the main point of contention in all of arguments on this board that you've gotten yourself involved in, if I may say so.

I didn't want credit, but in a roundabout way, I became the face of those wanting rotation. I could be reading about anything Portrait or ASR related, and my name would come up. It was amazing, to be honest. The ensuing ruckus wasn't my intent, but after having been told how the N900 wasn't meant for ASR, would be useless, and so on, it felt good to see my insight into what the smartphone community wants was dead on. No one will say I was right, but I was, and ya should've listened when I said it. But we're on something else now...

And Jay, you're the ONLY member of this forum I genuinely LIKE alot. Let's keep it that way. All is dead and over. Peace, my fellow musician.

I didn't get the memo. Must've been asleep. :p
