Is it me or is this getting out of hand? Some of the stuff that's being posted are repost?
Why bother doing this?
If reposting things already here isn't disrespectful enough, it's taking it to a whole new level of bastardry and stupidity to post these things as time-delayed items. I don't get it either.
Yeah I mean?
It's posted no one can do anything with it. Then people forget about it and it ends up on other sites and people just get it there first instead of getting it when it's first posted?
It's just stupid??
Just post or hold it until you want to release it? Why clog up the posts with stuff people cant access to begin with?
They really need to get rid of this feature or move it to a whole new tab or something call coming soon or something. But get it out of the All Post list.
Exactly!!!
And I thought only I was not getting the intent behind these delayed posts.
For example, I *know* there was something I wanted but was a delayed post some days ago, and now I can't even remember what it was.
Personally, I think it's a brilliant idea and vote they keep it. As for the items being posted on other sites, well I just checked a couple, and guess what? None of the upcoming items are there. You can always make a reasonable offer to the poster for it in any case. It's not as if you guys are points poor.
Why get 'blackmailed' into making a reasonable points offer to the 'poster'???
If they intend posting the items they can only expect them to go for 50 points per request.....As stated in this and other threads, with the vast majority of comments being - get rid of this annoying idea.
Never mind another tab - just post the item as available immediately, unless you think you will benefit from some other hidden agenda.
Nobody that embraces the share philosophy of the site should think it a 'brilliant idea'. Half-witted at best. Cancel the option to do this now...Yeah, it's just a dumb gimmick. lol. If you don't want to post it right away. Hold on to it.
It does nothing for anyone who see it.
MAY I ADD MY 2 CENTS TO THIS POST?Hi,
I am one of many who post things to the blog, I have literally hundreds of items in the Blog here, and keep in mind, many of us are ACTUALLY CUSTOMERS at the stores we are sharing from.
PREVENTING GETTING CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN...
As I myself buy many things on the SAME day of release, think about it this way; what if I am only one of 5 people who bought a new item; and then I post it in the Blog here immediately after PMing everyone who offered points on it initially, without a time break. Any Brokerage where I bought this item, could check EVERY BLOG post I made here, note every item that I posted, and then when I release something on the same day or near to the release date -- they do a quick search of all the other items I already shared, and then add the newest ones. The results of their search could LITERALLY BE SO EXACT that they would know WHO I AM on their store, even with a fully different nickname and email etc.
This isn't bullshit -- I have worked in IT for a huge corporation here in Germany and know database tech, and it isn't farfetched to simply do this type of search on our Blog.
The idea that we can post something with a "STARTING DOWNLOAD DATE" to me seems to solve a couple of issues for those of us who post.
1) We don't release the item near the date of release, and
2) The product is ALREADY IN THE BLOG, preventing duplications, as it is already in the queue.QUESTION SURROUNDING REPOSTS:
If anyone is seeing REPOSTS in the Blog, chances are the item was in the DEAD FILE LIST or went dead after someone at the original store filed a DMCA Takedown Notice (with MEGA or Mediafire or GoogleDrive).
If you see a REPOST that already has a Blog entry that is still LIVE, then report it on the page, we have a Tag called DUPLICATE POST, and you can have it unpublished until one of us REVIEWS and REMOVES it.
It's that simple.
BUT THE POINTS ARE A COMMUNIST PLOT BY THE LIBS!
We are NOT GOING TO START UP ALL THE CONSPIRACY THEORY BULLSHIT around POINTS and our POINT SYSTEM. The people who whine about the point system here are the ones who would rather go into a Supermarket, fill up their shopping cart, and go past the cashier, and if they demand payment, would point a pistol at them and say I'm not paying anything, and march out with all the stolen goods. Then afterward later go back complain and try to return the item they stole for a refund!
Hunter, Monk and I are very much behind the Points system, and no one profits except the USERS here. The POINT system is like having a PAYBACK CARD at the supermarket, where you get points every time you get stuff, and later you can cash them in for other stuff. Additionally, for every visit you get 100 points, that buys you two items in the BLOG (50 points each item), if you want more points, simply FULFILL any REQUEST POSTING where people offer sometimes up to 50,000 Points just for one new item. Getting a FREE MEGA account isn't difficult at all so you can share stuff and earn points.
in the time I have been here as a Moderator at ZoneGFX, I have made the POINTS system work to get newbies involved in the site, and keep our stuff MOVING... new stuff almost every day now thanks to people offering points and Requesting stuff.
There is no QANON, DEEPSTATE, KABALS, BOOGIEMEN behind the point system. If you have a problem with it, then take it up with HUNTER, as he has the last word on the subject.
I think this site has run like a really well oiled-machine with tons of great content and many happy Users here.
I honestly DARE ANYONE to tell me this isn't the best share site out there for all of us.
MY 2 CENTS !!!
