| Posted: | | | | I watched and have read all most recent FR's and response posts and could possibly have a idea for you, that might take the FR forum to a different level.
Some if not all of us know the timeframe and "will" of Invelos vs any and all FR's posted! I, like many other have wishes of different kinds (what ever they may be) for any of the products produced by Invelos. Yet, we who post FR's ONLY get feedback from OTHER users because of timeframe and "will" of Invelos. I think this is a most regretably state, so I have an idea...
Here is the Feature Request: I propose an icon image attached to the original post only. It (the icon) serves as an indicator interface for Mr Cole(possibly Mrs Cole) to the community or more to the point to the OP and users interested in posting a response to the OP. The icon itself could be any of the below: - a dimmed icon = Invelos has not read the FR. - a icon with an "R" letter = Invelos has read the FR and point out it has been asked before (re-occurring FR). - a icon with an ":thumbup/down:" smilie (or something similar) = Invelos has read the FR and graded it. Beyond that it (the OP's post), was graded by Invelos, it should not be enterpreted as it (the FR) would be implemented.
I am guessing: - Invelos would not be penalized with too much time once it (the FR) is implemented. All (Mr Cole) would need to do is to grade the FR and click a button. No time consuming text messages or spoken opinions at all. Just the grade.

| Posted: | | | | Sounds good, but I'm not sure if it's really needed. The only thing you'll get from this icon is the reassurance that Ken (or Gerri) have seen this post. Even if you'd get a thumbup for your request wouldn't necessarily mean that it get's implemented, because many really good ideas would mean that this program needs to be rebuilt from scratch. But if it's only the feedback of Invelos you're after ... (inofficial because not from Invelos) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up! But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| Posted: | | | | Nice idea... ... but I agree to goblinsdoitall that the implementation is pretty unlikely. Really important postings (e.g. status reports concerning beta versions...) from Ken Cole should be placed in the "General: Announcements" anyway. AFAIR it's not possible to post in this forum to keep it clear! To be up to date about this you could subscribe this forum. Maybe "Profiler Plus" will have the requested feature... | | | Thorsten |

| Posted: | | | | control freak in need of controlling Ken or Gerri? If Ken likes the idea of an request and it is feasible it will show up in the program eventualy. No need to pressure Invelos in doing things, the fun could easely run out of it. and as it is already mentioned: Quote: But if it's only the feedback of Invelos you're after ... I don't see the need for a system like this. | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| Posted: | | | | Thanks all for replies and votes!
No, a tool like this would not guarantie anything! Granted, this FR like 99,9% of all FR's will probably not see the light of day. ...but if it where... When a really good FR comes in and if it was graded with a: - positiv grade from Invelos, would that not be fun, Giga? - negativ grade from Invelos, that would be it, discussion over, done.
Anyway... it was just an idea...
Thanks for your time.

| Posted: | | | | Thanks, xyrano for your proposal. Something clearly must be done -- I'm just not sure this is it. I have been trying to make sense of the topics in this forum, and it's nearly impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff, what with all the "he said" and "no, didn't" and "I don't like your attitude" commentary cluttering up the works -- and I accept responsibility for some of it. Not all, mind you! Perhaps a rule that I have seen work well in other venues could be made here. The rule was simple "No meta-discussion." Anyone making any sort of meta-comment would be warned once, then barred for a period of time on a second offense. A meta-comment was anything about the discussion itself, or about any other appender, or ... you get the idea, I think. It really did work, keeping the discussion pretty much on track. If anyone thinks that might be useful, I could see if I can find more details. This Wikipedia article may be of use. | | | -R. Windows 7 (Home Premium) SP1; 64-bit DVD Profiler 3.8.1 |

| Posted: | | | | 1st) this the wrong thread 2nd) this is the wrong forum like that? Who is going to police that? What is on topic and what is not? This is not a debate club. Quote: Ironically, this often leads to comments like “stick to the subject” or “answer the question,” which are themselves meta-discussion, though of a simple variety | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

I think we take dav4is' advice. Don't feed the trolls.
Never mind, i was going to add something for dav4is' brilliant plan to reduce participation in these forums to near zero, but it's not worth it.

We better be careful, we are deviating from dav4is' newest Rule. Maybe he should change his name to something like Hugo Chavez.
Skip I can see that you don't understand the finer subtleties of a proposal. A proposal is a suggestion put forward for consideration. It is not a demand. It is not reality until implemented. Do you often have these difficulties distinguishing suggestion from reality? Of course, in a more sinister vein, if you refer to it in the way that you did, it becomes easier to later refer to it as a demand. Such distortions are a type of fallacy, an old debater's trick. The Greeks had a name for it that I have forgotten. And name-calling is also an old debater's trick. | | | -R. Windows 7 (Home Premium) SP1; 64-bit DVD Profiler 3.8.1 |

| Posted: | | | | I didn't call you a name, unless you refer to troll, but that was provided by you. I made what i think is a fine suggestion for you to change your name. You come strutting into ProfilerLand and start trying to make some, to put it mildly, some pretty bizzare suggestions designed to reduce participation in these forums. You have mad suggestions without either revewing the Forums or playing with the program (the latter being blatantly obvious) and you top it off by making disparaging comments comments about the program because it doesn't match what you think a profiler should be and not suggestions but demands about what must be done to meet your standards.
You don't seem to understand that this is a hobby that we all ENJOY and we have a lot of FUN with and with each other. You brought a lousy attitude to profiler and refuse to see that, I hope you will recognize it, I am not the only one that has observed it. I predict that until you do recognize it and stop making absolutely INSANE suggestions like the one in this thread, that you will be treated for what you seem to be warning everybody that you are a TROLL and a pretty nutty one at that.
