JoshSherman Member	posted April 17, 2012 07:14 AM That thread was clearly going somewhere, somewhere you didn't like because you are completely wrong. Good job closing it. __________________ My LJLetter Bombs!FacebookLogout- I had it second!*CKGB [Edited 1 times, lastly by JoshSherman on April 17, 2012]

Tha Gunslinga Moderator	posted April 17, 2012 07:18 AM I don't see any way anything can progress here, with or without the thread, but if it really matters to you guys, feel free to keep talking about a situation that you can do nothing about. __________________ Looking for misprinted Commander decks.

AtriumXP Member	posted April 17, 2012 07:24 AM I have to agree that the thread you're speaking of caused me great concern initially, but in the end it just hasn't affected my ability to trade, buy and sell here. That being said, I did like the visibility of having it open and bumped with the occasional response. But like Gun said, what can really be done about it?
Thanos Member	posted April 17, 2012 07:26 AM What can be done about it? You keep talking about it and let the powers to be know that the issue isn't go anywhere, to deal with it.
AtriumXP Member	posted April 17, 2012 07:45 AM That's a fine plan if the powers were reacting to the thread. From what I saw, Jazaray said Leshrac was aware of it but made no move to intervene. My point (and how I'm interpreting Gunslinga's reaction) is that it has become a dead horse. I complain about taxes every year but I still have to pay them EDIT: I meant to mention that I actually agree that this is a problem - I'm just acknowledging that I don't see any progress.

You keep talking about it and let the powers to be know that the issue isn't go anywhere, to deal with it. I'm pretty sure that everything that can be said has been said. I'm also pretty sure that continuing to talk about it will not make the powers that be act any faster. We've all provided our input, all we can do is wait at this point. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here! All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please!

Thanos Member	posted April 17, 2012 08:06 AM There are things that can be done to get answers, closing an open discussion for no reason is not one of them.

And just what do you propose that will get answers? The discussion clearly wasn't doing anything to speed it along. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!

MasterWolf Member	posted April 17, 2012 09:06 AM It's always nice to have a place to vent and discuss how you are feeling about a subject, even if we can't do anything to alter it. Now you just have angry people with no open place to discuss such subjects, so we rant on FB and other places instead of here on MOTL where such discussion and venting belongs.
nderdog Moderator	posted April 17, 2012 09:11 AM Funny, it seems there's a bit of venting in this very thread, no? We're not saying that no one can talk about it, just that the thread outlived its usefulness. It became more about whining about the staff than discussing the problem. Any thread on any subject gets shut down when that kind of thing happens. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here! All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.

Kyosukee Member	posted April 17, 2012 09:53 AM Ritas is the best part about spring. By far.
AtriumXP Member	posted April 17, 2012 10:30 AM quote: Originally posted by Kyosukee: Ritas is the best part about spring. By far. The Italian Ice shop? We had one nearby but the frickin' landlord sold the building on them, so they packed up to West Warwick, RI and their old location is now a liquor store. I completely agree, that place is awesome, and one of the few frozen treats vegans can enjoy guilt-free (my wife is vegan). On the Goodwill front, they replied to me this morning and acknowledged their error. They even had pictures of the lot I received instead, asking me to verify the contents. I'm assuming the next step is sending the items back... hopefully they'll authorize a return shipping label but I'll gladly eat the $11 to get this one right. Made some progress on a particularly daunting project at work, too, and the boss is out this week! So, feeling pretty awesome today, lol
Bagbokk Member	posted April 17, 2012 03:32 PM quote: Originally posted by caquaa: and not really worth it. So much peace and quiet.... I agree, generally. Apparently I can still set my own hours (and even work from home if I choose to), but it still makes more sense for me to go in at pretty normal hours and for the # of hours it takes me to bill 8/day as long as there's productive work to be done. Besides, there's infinite coffee available there. [Edited 1 times, lastly by Bagbokk on April 17, 2012]

You are the only mod who basically puts his foot in his mouth. lol But I was hoping to keep it open for Lesh's final answer. One thing I see is that there will be a die down of trades or atleast big money trades. I could not trade top items here with some many insecurities this site has. Maybe trade a few dollar rares. lol This site will die a slow death, a few mod leg humpers will stick it out but I see others site maybe changing it up to avoid situations such as this. and from what I have read MOTL is actually behind the times.

Or you could just insure high-value packages. That's what I always do. The discussions forums aren't as active as they used to be, but I think the H/W forum is busier than ever. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Jazaray Moderator	posted April 18, 2012 09:11 AM I don't understand!! I just came back from a meeting with our building managerial staff. They're raising our rent by over $40 a month! Why you ask? Because of overtime that Tom MIGHT get sometime this year, and the extra payments that Kim made for the back child support she owed Tom LAST year. They sure as hell haven't GIVEN us back money, based on the two weeks back in December that Tom was forced to take off with no pay. Nor for the 4-6 weeks in the past three-four months that he didn't even work CLOSE to 40 hours. "This isn't a permanent housing facility, it's here to help you get on your feet and off on your own again". How the HELL are we supposed to do that when they're charging us more than 1/2 his net pay to live here! Why do people who screw the system get everything, and those that are trying to help themselves, and NOT screw the system get the shaft? I'm so upset. We can barely afford the rent they have it set as now, if they're going to raise it, they might as well just evict us, cuz that's what's going to happen.
