I was/am pretty upset after buying the NC NU30 and after seeing the x-ray from stephenk I freaked out a bit. The pointy screws you see in the x-ray are woodscrews I believe.
Tell me about itā¦ 2 of them definitely got me scratching my head, definitely in the āyou gotta be kidding meā¦ā category.
3rd was post #57 in this thread. Someone mustāve just ādiscoveredā it reading this thread.
Iāve never had problems with Banggood but then again Iāve never had any problems buying things from Chinese vendors. The only issues were occasional long shipping times but nothing that I was surprised at. And itās not as if I buy things infrequently; over the past several years Iāve probably made several orders per month from one offshore vendor or another.
Wondering if thereās a way to āappealā rude-votes, if only to declutter your ārude-countā. If a vendor does indeed vote your post as rude, and the only way to get it out of your ārude-countā is to delete the post, then thatās a form of censorship. You dare not criticise a product or vendor for fear of being ārudedā all the time. Crappy product/vendor then wins.
exactly!
And I kinda understand that rude marking is anonymous but still, someone can just do it for the fun of it (or trying to work on your nerves just like a troll) and get away with it.
Maybe company vendors should not be able to mark posts as Rude, they are a company so itās not like you single out a personā¦
Nothing rude did you say in #57 at all. Somebody just got their panties in a wad and took it out on you.

Edit: ā¦ In fact copied below is what you said in post #57. Nothing RUDE do I see.

That was towards me, and know for a fact I didnāt press the rude button. Got thicker skin than resorting to a button
Thatās what I mean. I wasnāt irked, annoyed, nothing like that. Just said that I was no longer going to take part in the discussion. Let everyone cool offā¦
I wasnāt a āBG ratā, in fact, I explicitly said I never ordered anything before (or since). Think my words were that āI donāt have a dog in this fight either wayā or something to that effect.
But someone just came along yesterday or whenever (ie, just saw the bargraph today, and someone mentioned the ā24hr ruleā) and dinged me for that. Whaaa??
Someone must dislike NMM more than me lol

Exactly.
If you had, it wouldāve been way back when, not yesterday.
Iām not mentioning any names, but for years I was an active participant in a network where the operative āthemeā was, āIf it aināt offensive, DONāT BOTHER!ā.
The point of it was, itās only 1s and 0s, and if you canāt take it, you gotta learn. If someone can get a rise out of you by just something they say, they have power over you. Youāre a puppet on a string, and they can pull those strings anytime they want.
Me, I never want anyone to have that kind of power over me. So goāhead, insult me, mock me, question my parentage, whatever, it aināt gonna bother me in the slightest.
But I always get amused at these politicians who hear some other politician quoted who āinsultsā them, and they act so mortally wounded, demanding retractions and apologies, etc. Life canāt go on ātil theyāre made whole again.
Oh, brudduhā¦
Anyhooā¦ Not saying BLF shouldbe a free-for-all, and things like a ārudenessā button can come in handy, but cāmon, some posts which get flagged as rude, well, arenāt. And there should be some mechanism to recognise this, and āundoā it.

Yeah, most of the time like in your case itās not rude at all, just oversensitive people clicking the button, like all the people who got heated when I said itās 2017 and everyone should know how to operate a camera xD
Just ignore it
Good point Pulsarā¦ā¦.
Yeah Lightbringerā¦ā¦ I think those were some of your comments too. But stillā¦ nothing Rude. I think a 24 hour rule might be good too.
I thought about making another comment or two about the type person that would mark a post Rude that was obviously not. Vendeta is a word that comes to mindā¦ā¦.
But since my green line covers the whole screen, pretty much from the same nonsense you have brought to our attention; Iāll just let you use your imagination as to what my opinion of those type individuals might be.

Hm? You think what were some of my comments?
I just read here that the ā24hr ruleā lights up the rudeness bar for only 24hrs after a post is flagged. So thatās how I knew someone just dinged me today, vs weeks ago or however long ago.

I have no idea who mightāve gotten pist off at me enough to have a āvendettaā against me. Generally, I like everybodyā¦ until someone gives me a real big reason not to. And petty disagreements donāt count.

Yeah, but, yāsee, even a comment like this is āfanning the flamesā. It can be read as:
āSome people are real jackasses, but Iām not gonna say who.ā
Then, the person(s) youāre implicitly pointing to will no doubt come back with his/their own veiled or not-so-veiled ādigā, and it starts allllllllll over again.
A while back, there was a technical discussion (ie, not even opinions) about topic X. Someone wanted to do something (X). I pointed out that itās hard to do, at the very least impractical. āNope, nope, it can be done!ā Like a dog with a bone, he wouldnāt let it go. So, I just dropped it. Aināt gonna convince anyone whose mind is already made up, so why bother? Heads bleed, walls donāt.
Elsewhere, someone quipped, āNo one even has a definition what Y meansā, so, trying to be helpful, I tried to supply him with one. I got jumped on hard and lumped in with āall the others who donāt know what theyāre talking aboutā. Ooookay. Iām out. Preach to an empty hall, but I aināt sticking around. Unsubbed from the thread.
Iām just wondering why others just canāt āleave it aloneā when itās clear the other person aināt gonna give up? Insistence on ābeing rightā? Needing to āget the last wordā?
Frankly, I got better things to do. To quote Nathan Ford, āItās like trying to explain baseball to a dog.ā.
Your āother commentsā was refering to what you said you thought you saidā¦ā¦ quoted below. Back laterā¦ tied up fight now.
Thatās what I mean. I wasnāt irked, annoyed, nothing like that. Just said that I was no longer going to take part in the discussion. Let everyone cool offā¦

I now see 2 rudeness marks on my side bar after this morningā¦ I guess heās been loose-cannon on rude-button spree again today. in all the years i been here i know i have never been ārudeā to any other member, as i respect everyone a lot here, and always friendly & helpful to everyone i can. its sad when we have a rogue member who joins BLF and seems to repetitively ruin topics like this with disruptive bad behavior. it only takes one person to make the who community begin to feel less comfortable to be in.

Reddit users coming over here. They think the rudeness button is a downvote. I think sb can see who the button clickerās are.
Personally, I agree with what a few others have said. I think it would be a lot better if the Rude Button were not anonymous. That would most likely do away with the petty clicking of the button. Or at least if it did not, the offenders could be easily identified for group chastisement.
Never had a problem with BG (or GB, or FT or even Dino in the good old days). Sure, sometimes stuff hasnāt arrived, or has taken forever, but Iāve always managed to resolve the issue without being out of pocket.
Whatās a rude button got to do with all this? :smiling_imp:
Iāve noticed that itās easy (well for me at least) to inadvertently press the Rude button when looking at BLF on my phone. Perhaps thatās whatās happening in some cases? Luckily Iāve always caught the mistake before I continued on but others might not do so.
