EstoniaKEKW join dead discord to provide feedback then another dude will say install addblock KEKW
As described. No one contacted within 24h. Yes form doesn't promise that contact will be made. Does this mean - leave feedback and be gone? I guess so. Pushing enormous adds is normal for Devs, give any kind of feedback or reasoning behind changes is not. As said in previous post about Adds Removal, this is not acceptable. (In case you missed first post https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/ff8x4) In the end here is truth behind those changes and silence: Devs don't care about users, only about themselves. Devs don't want to communicate. Devs don't want to listen. Devs don't want to explain anything. Devs just bought recourse and think they can do whatever they want to do.
Even mods are not informed enough to make any kind of statement.
First they promise things and don't make it clear what actually they want to do. Next they make updates that benefits only them. Next they remove feedback section. Support? Don't have to respond, not obligated. As of course none of the users pays to add their runs to their leaderboards, another proof, that Devs don't see it neccessery to talk to the audience.
I can't even email Devs, website has only feedback form, no other meanings of contact. I need to find email my self? Pathetic. Whats going to be next? I guess nothing. I did my best to utilize web help section, was as fast as possible to respond to the update. Didn't made assumptions and was patient. As other already mentioned, shove it down my throat and be happy or leave.
Expected more, dissapointed.
@Daravae, oh sorry kind sir, that i didn't expressed my self in the way you like it. Rude? People suggest me to use addblock, wasn't expecting for that kind of responce. Like, 2021, i am not banned in google, i can google how to remove adds. I am getting feel that you didn't read through topic eather didn't you? I didn't responded in rude manner to everybody, you can check maybe they actually tried to leave proper feedback regarding situation and NOT trying to suggest me what to do?
meme - we live in a society is kinda related here, so many trolls, so little people reacting to the update.
@Lieutenant_Boo, that was in responce to people who want to help me. I am DON'T request help. DIDN'T requested it in the first place too. But if people actually want to help - i can leave proper instructions on what they can do for me. Can't help yet? Find those who can or don't spam, this is actually good too XD
Not responding to Merl_ or Kai anymore, kinda waste of time :) @starsmiley, this is forum, forum about site, with feedback section that was removed and changed in not that good timing. Expecting people to say oppinions regarding update and adds that were added without any real reason. NOT expecting to get guidence on how to live my life, use my browser, etc, etc.
also there are options to agree or disagree with 1st post, you are free to leave your oppinion (preferable not million times as i have created topic not for those who agree with this update policy) If it wasn't clear from the beggining, now you know.
@Kai, clearly i have to choose from options some @Merl_ told me to do. Yeah, good idea, lets all do whatever other people think we should do, on speedrunning forum... what a great idea. (no) I am not here for an advice. Post is not about that. You can't help me, you can just bark around saying i am too loud. I do whatever is neccesery in my pov. Bigger conflict, more noticeable.
@Merl_, i wan't you to stop suggesting dumb nonsence you try to suggest me, okay? I am actually waiting for 24h mark for my feedback, i feel like i won't get any email, so i am going to create new topic witht his too i guess :D Also poor phrasing "nobody". Is it THAT hard to understand that simple users can't help me by trying to stop me. You can help me by posting how bad it is towards a community, towards a whole web to make whatever they, Devs, want to do without proper preparation. And sending proper feedback through new form they have added. Or you can wait until mods simply CLEAN this mess, it is mess because you and some other users don't get what happens to sr.com or don't want to accept that this way of growing and maintaining this web is a WRONG way to do so. If you agree with what happens, remove your addblock, support Devs.
@Sandstorm187, because i actually answer to comments that are clearly had to be not posted here, same as yours BTW :)
@Kai, use appropriate words, keep this topic clear from your profanity. I see that you are not able to read through whole topic... Don't AT me if you are not really into "helping". You are yet another troll that suggests to use addblock when it's underlined in first post. And i am not fighting respected users. There are no respectfull users, we are all simple users. I don't care how much you contribute as much as i see how poorly you read through this topic. Thanks for useless post, bye.
also cringe: "we must deal with this" - you must - you deal however you want. I use my own methods to deal with nonsense that came like "update" or life upgrade, however you cover this.
Would say much water. Still doesn't explain why big company can't make proper communication with the community. Before was before, Pac did amazing job working and then passing on the web (selling), can't say better honestly. He found actually good group of caring people and they look like caring group. I was really happy with all changes that were made bedore last update, then they make such big change without any preparation. This really feels off, misleading, no respect. How did they end up with this decision? Can only wait for proper explanation.
@Oreo321, maybe. There are a lot of people i didn't block, only 3 out of all people who wrote here. it's quite simple, if you are fine with changes - say you are fine, don't mind me :D Also before blocking i do warn to not try advising same things over and over again, which were actually addressed in the 1st post. Saying my behaviour is childish is interesting way of interpratating rage i have against changes that were implemented without any reason.
Making suggestions sr.com needs money to run web is obvious but could be discussed and brought to community instead of making people GUESS Devs are in need or even debt. Not that hard to keep in touch, not that hard.
Wow @Kai. Just WOW. Not only you swear like a child and can't form your thought, but also you try to protect company for needing money when, they told nothing about that :D Go drop your F bombs where it's safe, re-read forum rules maybe or get banned. Let's talk about warning they made: "Second, over the course of the next few days we will be rolling out ads for logged-in users. If you run into any bugs with your logged-in experience, please report them in the bug section of the new Support Hub." aaand thats all. Could we affect anyhow their decision? No - post sent right with the update time. Is this a way you communitcate with your community? No, this is majpr change, warning posted at least 24h before implementing and talk at least for a week that this gonna happen, also explaining yourself is a way people get a clear view, why this happens.
About all nonsense you talk that Devs need money. They removed donation button, what are you talking about XD Devs simply don't care nor for you, nor for me. All in all, avoid this topic, i can see you getting banned with such wording.
About not forcing to use addblock. Check forum for screenshots, full screen of ads, if this is not forcing down my throat then i don't know what is.
And no i am not leaving web until i decide to do so. I am trying to talkover things, some people silently added addblocker and others are making contibutes by adding some kind of page extensions. I don't want sr.com to be like that, so i raise my voice. If you like using addblock, could just write - i am fine with update, there are plenty of those too and i am okay with that.
@garsh, it's so sad i can't remove your messages. Eat chill pill urself and leave topic. You are not "Supportive" and your "support" is not welcome, if you wan't to call those messages support. I admit this is cool that you are active on the forums, but you already expressed that you are fine, go find other people to bother or this simply becomes trolling and adding fuel to the fire. Please.
@Liv, and you too? You even acknowledge it's a bad way because adds are getting blocked XD how many times i need to write it DEVS. DON'T. COMMUNICATE. THEY. DON'T. CARE. better react right away rather than wait until they think of other cool idea like: add runs for the fee. Add games for fee. bigger wallet - better mod. watch an add before adding stuff. web not working until you remove addblock and so on and so on. wan't runs be moderated faster? pay. (good idea by the way :D )
Just remove adds, easy. @Starlight glad you read through convo, thanks for adding "usefull" post.
@Liv, i believe there are good ways to place adds smartly and much more smarter than this was done today. Also main point here is communication. They simply role out whatever they want to. Especially when donators had no adds, it's a big change to me and i am sure to other donaters too. I am willing to pay, but i want to hear it from devs, not shoveled with adds until im pissed :P
