+carleenp Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I'm curious. Where are, exactly, the "buttocks of the website?" [This message was edited by carleenp on April 08, 2003 at 12:51 PM.] Quote Link to comment

+leatherman Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I am so tired of the Anti-Approvers and Anti-Admin threads that have popped up lately. As if no one has been told no before. Then take it personal, launching personal attacks in the forums. TeamJedis thread was absolutely ridiculous! The only intelligent thing to do when your told no, is to ask what can be done to make it work. Why bash, relentlessly, when told no. "Why isn't that in the Rules?" "I didn't see anything written on the FAQ." Who cares! Ask what you can do to get it approved. When it comes to criminal law, not knowing the law isn't an excuse. I'd love to see someone demand to see the FAQs in a criminal trial. I am the result of genetic manipulation of superior Geocacher DNA. Faster, stronger with superior reasoning and logic. Mokita!

flat_lander Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Like it or not, we are "customers" of geocaching.com. We buy from this site a place to advertise caches, talk with each other, and have a good time. Even those of us, myself included, who are not (yet) paying members are customers. We spend our time here because a quality product is being offered at BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES . In reality, Jeremy and the crew go way beyond providing a quality product for the money (or lack thereof) that is asked of each customer. However, what some people (specifically a certain StarWars fanatic/cacher) fail to realize is that GC.com is not OBLIGATED to perform services for us. Nor do the rules of geocaching require you to ever visit this site. I would never walk into a barber shop and demand that the barber give me haircut this instant or else. Then compain about the lack of service if my demands were not met. The barber is not obligated to cut my hair. And if I'm not happy with my haircut I am certainly free to find another barber. If a certain someone is not happy with the service he has been given by GC.com, let him go elsewhere. I for one would not miss that person's presence and I'm guessing that GC.com might not miss that person's business.
