SW rant time

@jmoore said in SW rant time:
Can we implement something like the daily challenge here as well?
Can, yes. But it is a huge undertaking to do well, as SW has shown. Theirs is the prime example of everything not to do. Wrong answers, no means of correcting them, questions that shouldn't be being asked of real IT people, etc.
I actually got into IT social media through a challenge system like that, before I was in forums. It's harder and more expensive than you think to do even moderately well.

Making a DC system is a bit like making a real time certification exam.

I wish I could upvote this a bunch more times. You're 1000% correct about the ridiculous moderation methods over there, and about that <LOOOONG string of expletives omitted> David 'ass.
Welcome to the mango side, we have cookies. And people who know what they're talking about (not me, but there are others).
Wait, I never got a cookie...
Cookies are only given out at mangocon. And then only if someone makes them.
Oh, I did get a cookie at MC. And a garbage plate. And a hangover.

Five minutes sooner and he could just have avoided making the account altogether, lol.

But that wouldn't have been as funny.

Is SW taking the ability to close your accounts away?

I don't think so. What makes you ask?

Just the way you phrased your previous remark.

My point was that he made an account and immediately closed it. He could have just skipped the first step.

But he didn't, it was just his first post. The account was created back in 2015.

Oh, I missed that. How odd to want to close it after a few years.

Some people can only take so much.

But you just... don't log in. it implies that he's been logging in and lurking for two years?

You know how some people are paranoid. I was looking through old posts here last night and saw where Dennis Kelly as asking to remove his account here. I don't know exactly what paranoid people think will happen if they leave their account open though.

That's not about paranoia. that's people upset with the community and trying to rant.

The right to be forgotten means we don't get to ask those kinds of questions though.
If I chose to close my account, that data has to go away at some point. Not immediately, but at some point.
Closing accounts does not imply the right to be forgotten. Closing the account is the right to be disconnected.
