I joined this forum "neowin.net". Trust me you don't EVER want to be a member in there. I registered and posted on this one thread for Windows Live Messenger BETA invitations, hoping to get invites. This was about 2-3months again. I subscribed to that thread a day after I posted. I unsubscribed to the thread a week later but till now, I still get my inbox flooded with over 30 email notifications on this thread. Its SO annoying!
The best part is this: I posted on their forum issues board where they stated this problem was confirmed a bug and is being worked on. It has been "worked on" for months and many users have this issue. I posted saying that they just HAVE to fix it because everyone is getting put off by how much damage this forum is doing to email inboxes..flooding some with 100s of notifications. The guy replies calling me a dick. He's a "Supervisor" in the forum and hence one with some power.
This is my reply to him :-
" I'm trying to explain how dissatisfied I am as well as many other users I can garuntee you. If you can even say to me that I am being a dick, that is just plain unprofessional. It clearly shows your unability to handle an unsatisfied customer. This puts me off even more from using this forum. Why the hell are you a "Supervisor" in the first place if you are not capable of dealing with customers? Think about that the next time you try to be clever.
And to answer your question, no. I am still being flooded. "
I've realised this year that you sometimes have to stand up and make your point clear. If someone does something to you that you feel is wrong, you need to just say it. Thats how life is I suppose...If you don't get the satisfied service but keep quiet about it, they'll walk all over you. If you open up and say "Hey..this is not right" then they will step back and realise you are not to be messed with and they'll take steps to ensure it doesn't repeat.
Of course, you have to be reasonable too when explaining and not be rude or anything lol. =D
I remember when driving, as I was stopped at a red light, this car suddenly swerved into my lane just beside me, VERY close to hitting me. I instinctively swerved a little to the left to avoid hitting him and I slammed on the horn, dragging it out a little to express my astonishment and frustration at his easily avoidable carelessness. He was so shocked he daren't even turn to look at me. He stared straight ahead. I'm not sure what happened but I'm thinking maybe he had a bit too much to drink =S Oh well....
