+Kai Team Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 (edited) I was tracking a thread because I want to know gc.com's position on a question that was posed. This sentence has been edited to remove reference to that thread, since I am not trying to reopen that thread. TPTB quickly locked the thread even though there are many other threads that beat a dead horse and careen off topic for far more than 2 pages without being locked. I see no clear reason for locking this particular thread, which leaves me with the sense that the thread was locked to render tracking moot and make it more likely that we'll miss the promised response, or forget that a response was promised. TPTB can do whatever they want when it comes to approving caches, locking threads, etc. That isn't in doubt or up for debate. It's the sense that they're trying to avoid giving a straight answer to a legitimate question that's always troubled me, regardless of what the topic, or their answer, may be. It leaves me wondering what they are so afraid of and why they have so little respect for their customers. Do you feel that geocaching.com avoids answering legitimate questions posed in these forums? Is it reasonable to expect a straight answer (whether we like the answer or not), or should we just "move along" whenever TPTB say so? Are others offended by this behavior?

+The Leprechauns Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Yes, I'm offended by your post. Let Rothstafari enjoy his anniversary weekend. I'm sure he will have more to say once he talks with REI next week sometime. When a moderator locks a thread, it ought not serve as an invitation to open another thread to debate the closing of the first thread. Link to comment

I'm sure he will have more to say once he talks with REI next week sometime. I deliberately did not mention Rothstafari because I did not want him to feel compelled to respond to this thread, or make it the easy excuse for TPTB. No one has demanded an immediate response from Rothstafari or anyone else. We've congratulated him - let him enjoy his anniversary weekend and stop hiding behind that excuse. This is not a continuation of the previous thread - it's a new topic. I will edit the OP to remove the reference to the other thread to resolve this concern. Edit: I see you've employed the "good offense as the best defense" strategy, but it still begs my original question. What was the harm in leaving the original thread open so that we could track the response? Edited August 21, 2005 by Kai Team Link to comment

When a moderator locks a thread, it ought not serve as an invitation to open another thread to debate the closing of the first thread. If he had any brains and I have no reason to think otherwise, he would ignore the thread until he has an answer then check back in. and give it. Alas this also happened with the Buxleys thread. It was locked and I'm not sure there ever was a final answer from Groundspeak. When a mod locks a thread it doesn't change that the original topic was worthy of discussion. If the mods want to keep a list of what we can't discuss so new threads don't pop up, they can but I'm not going to be the keeper of that list I'll let the mods do the work because they are the ones inventing the rules.

A lot less angst that way too. If you believe they have little respect for their customers you can always stop sending them money.

Or that the only person capable of actually answering the question had already stated he won't have an answer for a few days, so everything after his post was indeed "beating the horse" (which is pretty much what JV said). Sure, they could have left the thread open, and 75 more posts could speculate on the a correct answer; but that really makes it HARDER to track the response to the thread, not easier. Most likely when Bryan has an answer he will unlock the original thread again (those Groundspeak folk have all sorts of wacky powers like that!) and post it. That way anyone who really IS interested in the correct answer will get it without the proceeding 75 posts full of dreck. Edited August 21, 2005 by Mopar Link to comment

My money is on that TPTB or at least the volunteers do have limits and can bump into them. There is one case in the forums where I'd put money on them hitting that limit though there was no formal explanation. Of course there seldom is. However when it comes to points of discussion like when you should remove your approver, if you should be able to work with a different approver, when is a mod going too far, can we make a list of approvers, should you approve your own cache etc. volunteers seem to jump in and throw a lot of smoke into a valid discussion. You're observation is dead on when it comes to this. Link to comment

Point taken on being afraid: I should have said "It leaves me wondering what they are so afraid of or why they have so little respect for their customers". It's not a privacy issue - all I've asked for is their policy on a particular topic, not details about a particular person or company, or their relationship with that entity (I agree that that's none of my business). In fact, the entity is irrelevant to me - all I want to know is what the gc.com general policy is on identifying a particular type of cache. It effects how warily I interpret the cache listings. I don't need to know the details of this relationship or any other! Link to comment

+budd-rdc Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Curt statements like "Moving Along" can be interpreted many ways, so I can see how it can be offensive. I took it face value, so it didn't offend me. It also helped that I've met some of the people who said it. I think those statements, and the action to lock the thread was to protect the innocent, in this case, the <unnamed> person in question. Since the OT is a recurring theme, it doesn't hurt to wait for new developments, because someone will undoubtedly start a new thread to give us plenty of opportunities to discuss the topic again, and again, and again.

+Kai Team Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 (edited) Selling you a clue... Rothstafari is one of the three partners who own and operate Groundspeak, Inc. Well thanks. "Selling me a clue" is a little less condescending than "move along", but it helps make my point about the lack of respect for customers. I do know that "The Leprechauns" is an alias (some might say "sock puppet") for a forum mod and approver, so I guess I'm not completely clueless. And of course you missed my point again, which is that this isn't about a single reviewer's decision or a single cache, even if that reviewer is one to be feared by us lowly premium members. I suspect that even "the three partners that own Groundspeak, Inc." consult with each other about policy decisions, but I could be wrong about that too. Don't hesitate to correct me in a condescending manner if I am. Mopar - thanks for saying the same thing politely. Edit: to remove sarcastic quotes that might have been misinterpreted.

+Sagefox Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Do you feel that geocaching.com avoids answering legitimate questions posed in these forums? Who cares? The game works well enough out on the street. Sometimes a cache gets approved that we don't agree with. Sometimes a cache doesn't get approved and we don't agree with that. But if we are really interested in geocaching (as opposed to talking about geocaching) there are more caches out there than most of us will be able to find in a lifetime. It is fairly easy for someone to sucessfully post over 100 caches in a couple of years if they set there mind to it and with only a few initial rejections. It is very easy to find 200 to 2000 caches in a couple of years if you can devote the time. Is it reasonable to expect a straight answer (whether we like the answer or not), or should we just "move along" whenever TPTB say so? Just move along, we are not the droids they are looking for. Geocaching is working very smoothly regardles of how questions are answered in the forums. Are others offended by this behavior? Not in the slightest. Many forum topics bear no resemblance to real geocaching. It is fun to have a controversial topic to get the blood boiling and to keep the forums from getting boring but a lot of what stirs people up is actually minor technical problems that could be easily ignored.

I was at a geocaching event all day yesterday and did not get a chance to reply to my own thread. Instead of caching I guess I should have stayed home and followed the thread. Maybe if I had 35 finds and 1025 posts then my post would have stayed unlocked longer. Its not a big deal if you know what you are in for, otherwise its like being invited to a friends house for a party and finding an Amway presentation. This was a perfect analogy for what happened at the event. Put yourself in this situation and honestly ask yourself how you would feel. If Rothstafari dosen't want to accept my account of the "event" all he has to do is contact FullOn to find out what happened.
