RE: I just signed up but did NOT receive $10 worth of Steem Power

Anduweb.
New users pointing out that incorrect information was presented to them, is a valid complaint.
Nice subtle dig, stating my comment was a waste of time and money...

What good has it done? Well, just like this posters intention, it brought a real problem to the surface to talk about. The team is not fixing user facing issues that involve money. they don't respond to them or seem to care much, and fanboys just make excuses and cover for them, while attacking people who take the time and effort to point problems out.
This is the exact opposite of how a successful internet presence should operate.

  • Bugs, problems, and usability issues should be responded to politely, by staff, with a thank you.
  • The goal should be an easy to understand interface, that is clearly explained in a help file.
  • Any display of money should be PERFECT. Anything less is pure lazyness and negligence. It is simple math, the one thing on the planet that can be displayed PERFECTLY if they choose to.
  • No one should be attacked like this for taking the time to write up a problem.

Instead of attacking the messenger, why don't you "quit your complaining" and "try to contribute" by showing the user how to actually get the problem in front of the developers? Or by filing a report on it yourself? Or by explaining to dan that this is actually important?

Your rabid fanboy defense is actually worse than complaining. It is encouraging the bad software practices, bad PR due to incorrect info, and bad user behavior (yours, for attacking a newbie), to continue on this website.

Sort:  

@tinfoilfedora. I am directly offended by your comment as you're wrongfully accusing me. You clearly didn't read my comments on this post to see that I actually contributed with what is currently possible to bring this message further. I even gave advice to the OP on how to reach out to the devs directly and report this if he wanted to.
I don't have access directly to dan or any dev. They ware way too busy with more important stuff than the 4$ diference on the users sign up that should be given out for free. This project is still in beta. Read what beta means before mentioning errors and issues claims. It'll get that, just not this very instant. Will you guys get that already? You'll not progress unless you do.

Offended!
If you are offended by clearly explained software development practices, maybe you shouldn't be defending software developers you don't even know, that have released a product that confuses new users and displays deceptive and incorrect values everywhere. (The one thing they could do perfectly, out to .0000001 if they chose to.)

Then you fall back on "it's in beta", "it's not important to be correct", and "I'm offended". Thank you for demonstrating that you are exactly the rabid fanboy I was speaking about. At least the "complainers" bring up a topic that could be fixed. Your comments actually hinder progress. You do more harm than the "complainers".

you my friend are a troll and that sums up the discussion level.
Keep calling me a rabid fanboy. At least i tried to do something to help here and not just comment on the side of my insecurities and conspiration theories like you did. Keep it up, see where you get.

You attacked a newbie for writing up his first experience... You got "offended", sensitive about your "insecurities", and brought up conspiracy for some reason, during a discussion about website problems. If anyone is trolling it is you.

Like I said, if you are offended by a discussion about normal software development procedures, and defend problems that could easily be fixed, you are the one with the problem.

You're nuts man. Read the freaking comments and the order in which they were posted. I never attacked the guy for posting this, I actually said he has a valid point and that I even took it myself to bring it up in the steemit.chat t other people that might get it higher and noticed. Jesus!

I did though begged to differ with your way of seeing how things go around here and I still do have a problem with what you wrote on your first comment that started this nonsense. You seem to believe everyone is getting ignored over here like it's a conspiracy (yes, I said conspiracy) of the big guys to trick the small guys and the newcomers.
Tell me where the discussion is about website problems in your first comment? You complain over a flow that doesn't exist for really important issues. See the way the devs reacted to the hack issue, to the bots issue, to the catfish issue, and the list can go on. What you said is nonsense. I'm not wasting anymore time on this.

For the last time: I don't have a problem with what @traderjoe wrote in the post. It's a reality that will get resolved sooner or later. I said patience is needed because yes, beta actually means beta and it's not just an excuse. Then the whole thing escalated like crazy with your comments and starting to call me names and crap. I'm not wasting anymore time on this.
I also tried giving advice about getting it onward and not staying fixed on this as it's not worth the 4 bucks of a difference. I was once in the same place dissatisfied by the system but got on with it and the result paid off in the end.
