Re: congratulations for essential, but what about Ramy and Scott

@William. Serkan asks something politely, doesn't he? and your reply is somewhat harsh please don't offense people. everyone in the community is part of it, you == me == Serkan == Salem == Dani, no one can let this community stand up without others help, if anyone criticize me it doesn't mean I'm good or bad, it means how others see me and I should take his words in my consideration and I debate this is the best thread Serkan wrote not because the subject has my name, I don't care but what I need to say kindly, don't offense someone did dozen of threads marked as SOLVED and when he asks and no one answers he posts the full answer + sample application.

I don't see how my post was harsh, and i'm not saying we don't deserve credit for good posts, but requesting for your friends to be featured shows you're more interested in a badge rather than just helping.

if my best friends dont get featured i am going to organize them to leave for a better c# forum where their skills are appreciated.
I'm not trying to start slinging shit here, but is this a mutual agreement or are you just putting words into your friends' mouths? Hmm... by the way this isn't a union thing or nothing. Please feel free to leave if you are fed up helping people.

your post wasnt harsh. it was honest and insightful, and far more gentle than I'll ever be. Mine was harsh. and here's one that's harsher:

The problem is, Serkan is always coming around here whining and complaining about his rep points, now he's complaining about his friends not getting a "featured" bubble

the reason his rep suffers, is because too many people are revolted by his continual whining, along with his overly creepy behavior towards certain female members.

if he quits acting like this place is some popularity contest, and sticks to assisting people with code problems, he might actually begin to be respected again.

i swear there's less drama at a middle school girl's slumber party than there is in a typical Serkan thread.

Re: congratulations for essential, but what about Ramy and Scott

>All i care about is becoming Super Mod.

if you become a super mod, the first thing you would do would be to ban me from DaniWeb

look what is the problem guys.
First of all, if someone solves a problem of a member in daniweb, there is no way to state that that particular post of that member solved it. look at msdn. although many members post answers, the asker can mark whatever he wants as a solution to his problem.
dont you think this is a motivator? reputation points then can be associated with this solved threads. look at how daniweb does, Ramy or Scott solves the problem, someone come and say hi in the same thread, but according to this system the one who say hi is regarded in the same manner and incremented by 1 in his solved threads.
Stupid!!

That is why maybe, being a featured poster or coder would matter, if at least it is done properly.

>dont you think this is a motivator?
Not so much for me, I get my motivation simply because... I like helping people, it makes me feel good

I pay absolutely no attention to solved threads, because I agree, it doesn't work very well. Getting a badge isn't important for most members either, and maybe you should think why you are really here - to get help or give help.

Consider being a featured poster/coder a reward, you're lucky to get one, you're not entitled to one because you think you deserve it.

Re: congratulations for essential, but what about Ramy and Scott

You don't beat up anyone you just talking much by not good way, I feel that Dani is your home and you're the one who says who should do what, if your don't like Serkan don't offense him personally and reply in a good manner PLEASE!

there are plenty of people with more rep points than me who haven't been featured. and rep points are just as subjective and arbitrary as being selected to get a "featured poster" bubble. i mean, look at you: you were "featured". that proves how meaningless it is.




it is you who miss the point. this is not a democracy. and featured poster is not some "American Idol"-like popularity contest that you get to vote on. the owners of this site can run this place any way they choose to do so, without soliciting your opinion or asking your approval.

Why'd they pick essentials? The real question is: why should you even care? What is it about essentials that makes you lose sleep at night? Personally, i dont care who gets featured or not. All i care about is becoming Super Mod.




yeah okay, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

this is no more "my" home than yours. do you see a "mod" bubble by my name? no. i don't even have a "featured" bubble, like you and serkan.

i just am blunt, and have little tolerance for bullshit. but that's just my opinion, and I've already been warned once for being an unpleasant ass. I'm trying to moderate my tone, but I'll still probably get banned before the year is out.
