RE: Monday Rant (#2: Qurator)
Thanks for your response. I appreciate your point of view. I believe you're a qurator moderator, so I can understand the frustration. I don't believe that anyone was misappropriating qurator funds for personal use. I was referring to selling a lifetime membership by taking money, but then changing the rules after taking the money. Those who are just starting out are the ones this is going to hurt the most. Their smart investment has now become something that won't pay off for a while.
Regarding your table of my voting history: I hadn't realized how little my 20% vote had been giving, so I switched to 40% to give more because I wanted to contribute more. It's not a lot, but I wanted to do what I could. Also, as I don't post a whole lot, I support the project with my lack of votes taken. Turbulence I get, changing the whole model after the fact is something different and I believe that justifies some "noise."
The short and selective memory of some people is actually saddening.
I must have a really bad memory because I don't remember what you would be referring to. Ha ha. Time for some Omega-3 pills!
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Yes, I am one of the @qurator moderators, but that's about it what you got correct there.
The selling of a lifetime membership gives everyone a lifetime account approval (IF they post accordingly to our rules) and a place in the Tier 0, nothing else. All the following tiers can/could be obtained by upvoting or delegating.
We ONLY changed Tier 1 and Tier 2, swapping it for the monthly subscription or the delegation as before, for the project's sustainability sake.
You seem to be pretty sure that "Those who are just starting out are the ones this is going to hurt the most."... Perhaps you can explain us all how @qurator will address that, since you seem to be so much well informed? Perhaps you know something I don't...
Regarding your votes... I can understand your lack of awareness about its low weight and effective contribution, the same way I hope you can understand that we still have to keep moving the project forward, irregardless of those "forgetful" moments, covering all the expenses to keep the smooth and so much appreciated upvotes flowing for all the other members.
And by the way, I posted a ratio between your contribution to the project and what you got back from it in our @qurator post. Hopefully that will be enough to revive your memory and save you some money on those Omega-3 pills. I'll add it here too in case you missed it:
I have nothing else to say to you, from now on you'll be conducting a monologue.
Cheers.
I think you are rude the way you answered this post....period........
