I'm glad you like Drupal qolspony, there is no doubt it is a very capable product. I think your decision to move on is a wise one as there is no way the dev's or any of the regulars here "
will let you wipe the floors with them until you get results". It simply is NOT what a community is about. I'm not even a developer and I find the attitude you've displayed in these forums toward them in general (especially toward Herko & Herve) to be totally offensive, and I can guarantee you I am not the only one. I realise that you were probably feeling a little victimised when you made your threat of legal action, but for future reference I would think about looking up such legal terms as
defamination, and
libel before making such comments. With these legal definitions and your comments/attitude in mind I think it was a wise decision not to proceed down this path.
When all is said and done this all comes back to the attitude you seem to have that everybody here has some kind of obligation to serve your needs, and to take your disrespectful manner without any retaliation. Getting help from any community is a priviledge, not a right. And until you adjust your attitude accordingly you are going to come unstuck with most communities you interact with at some point in time.
Note to core team/webmasters: It is exactly because of the type of unfortunate occurances that has happened here with qolspony that this forum needs active moderation. Some see this as censorship, but you NEED boundaries in ANY community, otherwise things just fall apart. In the real world we have the police to enforce rules on the community. In general, this is NOT done to censor the community, but rather to protect it from those who wish to do harm or cause undue friction. At the moment we don't really have anybody acting the role of the police here, and most of the time only the posts that are really confronting and get noticed will be dealt with. We have all these rules set out in the
XOOPSiquette section and it is well past due time that they are enforced, or destructive attitudes such as displayed here are just going to keep chipping away at the motivation levels of those who are doing something until nothing is left.
