Post new topic

Nic'oPY

I'm sorry for my tone in this post. I understand that a lot of people working here are volunteers, but someone must be making money with this site and I've practically been waiting more than 2 weeks now for a answer.

I wrote more than two weeks ago a Guide Article in the Paraguay part which I posted under "Miscellaneous" I read a-bit around on the forum before writing and thought that though I'm not a good writer it looks like almost anything goes as long as it's meant as a guide article, so I tried.

Two days later I got this as a e-mail:

Dear Nic'oPY,

Thank you for your participation. In order to meet members demand, I would suggest you to post your article in the Paraguay forum.

Thanks for your interest,
Best regards

Victoria

I immediately wrote back via e-mail and till this day have not received any response as to why my article was not good enough. You have this hole "Guide" section for Paraguay but without ANY written guides in it... That's wasted data space you're paying there people, if Guide Articles are not welcome then delete the Paraguayan Guide part.You will only save money. ;)

On that same day I also uploaded 2 pic's. For the one I got a confirmation, the other ziltz. I also asked Victoria (whoever she may be) what was wrong with the pic.No answer till today.

Link to Pic

Now I know that pic "thumb nail size" doesn't say much, but a pic more typical of Paraguay I almost cannot imagine. That woman sells weeds, roots and almost any kind of plant these people believe that are good for your body, which we then use to put into our TERERE and MATE.Please, what's wrong with that Pic?

OK, and of my bitching.

@Julien.I have seen on the forum that you have said you have been very busy lately, and maybe this 8 days since I PM you just wasn't enough for you to respond.If so I'm sorry, if not I beg a answer please.

Julien

Hi Nic'oPY,

thanks for your message. Sorry if I haven't replied to your PM yet, I've still got 75(!)pms to read.

I'll have a look to the article you submitted, and personally check what happened with the moderation team. It might be a mistake from Victoria. I'll contact you on Monday.

Regarding the pictures, we usually don't accept people's face pictures in our (public) photo as we might not have the right to use someone's image. We don't want to get pursued, even if the probability is very low, there is always a risk. I am not talking about your picture in particular, but we've got that rule... Note that we will soon design a "personal photo album" feature and we won't have that problem any more.

hope this helps, sorry again for the delay.

All the best,

Julien

Nic'oPY

Julien, Thx, now I know what is what and I'll wait.

p.s. You should clone yourself so as to have one of you that only answers PM's :lol: 75 pm's before mine and I wrote 9 days ago... will take writing a pm next time not so lightly.

Julien

I'll need a couple of more clones to reply to my emails and another one to work on week ends !

Julien

pm sent ;)

Nic'oPY

I thank you Julien, sorry for all the inconvenience I've caused.
As a thank-you today I'll drink my first round of Terere in honour of you. :proud

Dear Nic'oPY,

Your article doesn't fit Expat.com's policy. I regret we can't accept it in the participative living abroad guide.


Thanks for your interest,
Best regards

All I can say to this, is so much for double standards.
Julien, you yourself censored one person that came to this forum trying exactly THAT WHAT I WROTE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR, and if memory doesn´t fail me, I even submitted before he came alone.

People, you can shove it, no need to say anything about this anymore, but if you feel the need to ban me, please do.

As to you Victoria (whoever you may be) all the best to you, but let it be know, this site ¨might¨ have helped people save a lot of money, EVEN THEIR HOLE live savings, but it just didn´t fit in, right.

Enough said, I´m done.Thanks for all the time you gave me.

Julien

I've sent you a PM. I can't understand the moderation team decision.

Let me talk to them tomorrow morning

Nic'oPY

Thx for the PM Julien, but like I said, I´m finished with this topic, no word will ever come from me again about this theme.

Nic'oPY

Just uploaded 2 pic's and 1 hour later I get this:

We've currently got a bug in our uploading system. The next engineer I recruit will be in charge of re-designing the whole module. (2% pictures are just "white" when we receive them)
