Peer (to Peer) PressureBalancing between what's required of you, what's expected of you, what works, what doesn't, and more importantly... what YOU want to do, can make for some very long nights for we Web masters. |

Earlier this year, the forums at JimWorld underwent some radical changes as we moved to a new, custom software package. While the new forums provided us with the back-end functionality that we needed, we've found that there are quite a few front-end usability issues that keep popping up.
Despite John's constant work to update the features and make them more user friendly, we realize that we're still not meeting the expectations of our membership when it comes to creating forums that are fast and easy to use. With so many pre-packed forum software options, we should have realized that forum users have (to quote John...) certain "expected standards" when it comes to posting, reading, and using forums. To this end, we admit it we screwed up. So, we've committed ourselves to working on the front-end of the forums to make them more user friendly. We're working on a better navigation system, a more intuitive posting interface, and an overall look and feel that matches the "look" that our members are used to when visiting online forums. Sure, John isn't exactly a "let's comform" kinda guy, but he understands that our members are what make JimWorld great, and that giving them an environment that they are comfortable in is the most important thing we can do. So, the JimWorld staff has been hard at work giving John a To-Do list on making the forums more useful. We are more than happy to have you take a sneak-peek at the in-progress redesign. You can view the new layout here: http://www.jimworld.com/forums/new/ We'd love to hear your feedback on the changes, including any suggestions or requests that you have on making it even better. You can share your thoughts here.... http://www.jimworld.com/apps/searchengine.forums/action::thread/forum::members-lounge/thread::1064860690/ |

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:
"Hi James,
Thank you for your email.
James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.
I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.
Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"
In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.
I behooves you to publish a retraction.
