found this on the DORAMA CONTEST thread:
sometimes it's pretty hard to find the new guidelines or announcements! I know that there is a special therad for this, but new members? They may find it after 3-4 months by coincidence! Some ppl can't check for jdorama every day, so the 'hype' over posting in that thread may be over and so they don't see it when they open the main page! Other don't have inet at home, so always remember to spend some extra time on checking for new updates COULD just be 5sec too much! I for example have my 3-4 pages I regularily visit saved in my fave list, so I hardly ever visit the main page! AND I get the notification, so why bother and search from the main page?
I know, being a mod must be a though job, but also think of the new users! Jessicasoon registered just a short while (some 2 weeks) after you posted the announcement. Not everyone is familiar with the problem of having a slow connection! We all respect that guidline, I don't think you should talk about ppl like that! You want them to recommend this page, them to come back and keep all this alive, don't you? :headscratch:

That should weed out the chaff a bit.

I see your posts, but the Guidelines link is the first link on the Artiste forum, and it's labeled Announcements. Perhaps it should be replicated on all forums.
In addition, the guidelines are stated in bold, yellow font on the Profile page. In both the sections for the avatars, and the signatures. So they cannot claim ignorance because they would have seen it when adding their avatars and/or signature.

Exactly.
Ignorance is not an excuse.
As I pointed out numerous times in the past, if you maintain a narrow view of the world as it only pertains to you, then you miss out on a lot of information that does pertain to you... Only you never notice it.
When you buy a new gadget or item don't you read the instructions first?
Well, the same thing applies to this message board.

well said. I agree. :thumbsup:
I had my ENT update appointment today. Good news: The CT scan shows better results than the exam. It doesn't look like I need surgery. Bad news: The blockages are occasional and seem to stem mainly from allergies.....to a ton of stuff.
I was given an allergy test of some sort, where I was pricked on both arms with a ton of different needles. He wrote numbers on my arms and told me he'd be back in 15-20 minutes, and he put paper towels over the injections because there was a little blood from some of the sites. About 5 minutes later my arms both started itching like hell but I was afraid to scratch. He came back and moved me to the exam room. I told him that I was itching really badly. He looked and said "Wow, you are a really sensitive girl!". My arm was swollen and itching like crazy. I don't remember all the items I was tested for, but I remember he said I was allergic to dust, dustmites, grass, cats, and dogs. I knew about the cats.....my eyes swell shut when I'm around them too long (long haired cats seem to be worse although it's supposed to be dander we are allergic to). Also, this summer, every time I went into my backyard, my ankles would get really itchy and swell like I was bitten by 10,000 mosquitoes. I actually thought I was bitten but couldn't find the bumps :crazy:
But......DOGS??? NO! Impossible. I have a dog. I grew up always having dogs. My dog doesn't cause ANY reaction. Only some dogs do if they haven't been bathed recently and they are all over me (usually really short haired dogs, like pit bulls or boxers, dunno why). I kinda refuse to believe I'm allergic to dogs to the same degree as cats. It doesn't matter because nothing changes.....I will always have a dog.
Anyway, he told me I have to come back next week for further testing. My arm was itching so badly that he told me to take 180mg of Allegra right there. About 20 minutes later it subsided.
THIS. SUCKS.

I hate allergies. :beatyou: :boxing: :banghead:
I think the only thing I like about cold winter is that there's no pollen. :sweat: If you don't need surgery, that's a good thing. One of my sister's friend had the surgery and it didn't solve his problem. :( Maybe surgery is not always the sollution.
Anyway, better be allergic to dust than food.

I don't know if I'm allergic to any foods, but I'm a REALLY picky eater in general anyway. I have come a long way, but I still am picky. I'm one of those in a restaurant to order something and say "but without ____". :sweat:
Some of my friends are allergic to foods. I used to work with a girl allergic to chocolate (OMFG that sucks). My friend is allergic to celery and raw carrots (cooked she can eat). A friend of mine from grade school was allergic to all kinda of melons, but moreso watermelon.
I may eventually need the surgery someday because I do have a deviated septum, but the doctor is hoping nipping the allergies would make things more tolerable.

I just filed one online before I came here...
I'll probably call to complain as well on Monday.
If anything, I get it off my chest... These guys are doing a number on me. :grumble:

well, atleast they owe you a huge apology for the damage, the wasted time they made you spend today, and not showing up, and for being big time losers and ________ (fill in the blank). Oh, and they owe you the money you paid for the monitor.
no one should be treated this way. and they call this customer service?

Looks like FedEx can't be trusted :shakehead:
Sorry to hear that man :shamefulcry:

I know that it is on the first page! But like I said, some never get to check the first page and SEACH for their thread in the long list! ... I myself found the guidline when some ppl in the Arashi thread were directly told off for using to large signatures, then I checked the thread! Ppl were very pretty rude back then and made some of the users leave ... I wasn't too much involved, i just heard what ppl told me or what i saw with my own eyes. This must have been not an open matter only!
I know that ignorance is never an excuse, I study law, I heard that sentence every other day, but what I'm saying is that you shouldn't look down on ppl with comments like That should weed out the chaff a bit. or let's let them take tests <-intellegence. There would be a nicer way to forumalte that! How do you feel if you get scolded by your instructor because you just didn't pay enough attention and he gives you that sentence straight in the face? This may not be harsh for you or not harshly meant and I'm pretty sure that she is not sitting in some corner thinking you destroyed her whole life, but it's just a thing of your general view of members. So and now please tell me if you have read every single instruction/guideline and ˜ that was written on the back of the product, in the instruction page or posted on a inet page where you order stuff? That is just humanly impossible! Do you read instructions of easy to use tools? Why would the world need ppl like me [law students and later lawyers] if they would ACCTUALLY DO THAT and not sue firms cuz they thought cats can be dried in a microwave! I'm not excusing her for not thinking of the possibility that this forum has guidelines though.
I don't think she is narrow minded! Well I'm just assuming that here, but I think I have a pretty good view of her personality since she posts on many threads I do and I'm sure that she knows the certain basic rules of writing in a forum.
I see a mod and even other members remind the posters of using the spoiler tag in some threads every other minute! This is constantly reminding! So I think your idea with dublicating the thread on the other forums, is good, but doesn't garantee that in the future you'll have to still tell ppl to read the guidelines and announements, that's oen of your main jobs!!!

Well, the place I bought the monitor from is sending me a new one in exchange.
But it'll also be delivered :sweat: by FedEx. :bleh:

I don't really blame customer service as much as those idiots who are managing the deliveries and pick ups. They're the ones that seem to be bungling things.

sure, that is understandable. In this case, it is the fault of the delivery people that handle the merchandise directly, so customer service would be the buffer or middle person between you, the customer and the delievery people. i mean...how can people like that be so careless, that is money lost on their parts for damaging products and pissing customers off like yourself....

You can hope that someone will be held accountable, but without hard evidence, I don't see anything happening. :shakehead:

Allergies suck the big one. Maybe you could use a neti pot. I know. It's weird, but I read about them on metafilter and a number of people swore by them for reducing sinus/allergy problems. I'm thinking of giving it a try next time allergy season rolls around because I absolutely hate allergy medicine, it makes me groggy.
