Thread Title : New CE Rule: Please Read and Agree
It has come to my attention that many testers, including long-time CE'ers, have been putting far too much "attitude" in their issues posts. Posts with comments like "this is really beginning to annoy me" or "don't understand why this isn't fixed" are becoming the norm, not the exception.
Just so you are aware, posts of that nature are not logged at all, even if they contain legitimate issues.
If you want to be part of the process, if you really want to get your issue fixed, post it succinctly without any attitude or value judgment. That way it will get logged and its priority determined.
With regard to so-called "repeatable" issues, you should presume that if you have posted the same issue with no additional information for more than three consecutive CEs, it has been logged as long as your post is informational and contains no "attitude." There is no need to continue posting these same issues if you have posted them three consecutive times.
As such, we are instituting new rules for CE Issues threads:
(1) If your thread contains disruptive comments or complaints it may be deleted by the staff even if it also contains important information.
(2) So-called "Repeatable" posts may be posted in the first, second, or third issues thread in a cycle. Look at the thread title for the cycle. It is indicated as {CE:34:01}. This is cycle 34, issue thread 1. So, you may post your "repeatable" issues there. However, if this were {CE:34:04}, these repeat posts would be considered spam and deleted.
At the discretion of the staff, anyone who continually ignores this rule will be given a 1-month ban from viewing or posting in the CE threads. Multiple offenses will result in a ban from this site.
Thank you for keeping your posts informational and helpful, and we regret having to take these steps.
