| | Posted: | | | | Knowingly to who? I guess that when Ken agrees that somebody is constantly and knowingly violating the rules and that no other measure has helped, he would remove the contribution privilege of that somebody. |

Yes, to Ken. Question was, what do you, as a customer, user and contributor feel is just. Quoting skipnet50: Quote:
Why is this OUR business, This belongs to ken, and I don't sse that we have the right to try and tell him what to do with his Program. It isnt. Nor have i said it is. This is a gallup, i asked your opinion. As far as Ken/Gerri goes, some companys PAY to get their customers opinions. Nevertheless i highly doubt either one of them feel insulted by this topic.

Forgot to mention, the beer is in Finland On another note, why on these forums so many think we cant discuss, ask opinions or in any way comment things that ultimately are desided by Ken? We are customers FFS. Sure, we got more then way paid for, "good deal" i would say. But we are still customers, we have the right to type. Voice our opinions et cetera and Ken has the right to ignore, when he feels so. But who are you to deside when that is? | | | | Last edited: by whispering |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree. We, as customers, should be able to bring up new ideas and suggestions without being shot down by other customers. Let Ken decide what to add and what not to add. |

If every contribution exactly matches the rules then there is no purpose on voting. A single person could look at the contribution - decide if a single submission is different in any way from the rules and if so, then get the contribution cancelled. What actually happens is that contributions may actually push the boundaries of the rules and if accepted by the voters then these (the rules) become an evolving entity to match the expectations / desires of the community. If a contribution completely breaks the rules then any votes should reject the contribution. The system that Ken (has hopefully) written will note that all the contributions by a specific contributor tend to get rejected and any future contributions should be less likely to be accepted.

(Which is what you want I think) That is what i want and it works mostly, yes. And i think Ken has done a lot improvment to the system since the IVS days. But when the most notorious user can get his contributions through, to a locked field, when i'm away. Then there is still some room for improvment. |

If that person is constantly and deliberately violating the Rules, Invelos has every right to suspend or revoke contribution privileges, in my opinion. That decision is up to Ken and Gerri, but as a DVDP user I hope they keep a vigilant eye. | | | | -- Enry |

I think that's a particular situation in which, as you say, the contribution is pushing the boundieres of the Rules, yet it's not positively violating them, so there is room for interpretation and personal opinions. In all other cases, I guess we are supposed to vote according to the Rules even when we don't like some of them. We can always ask for change in Forum discussions and polls. Quote:
