Why was my last thread moved to soap

Surely it was a general forum thread that should have stayed in general chat , i didnt break any rules and the thread wasnt for comic purposes.

I would take things like this more seriously if you didn't create multiple threads about it. I mean do you need to create "Two threads moved to soap tonight that belonged in general chat" then "Why was my last thread moved to soap" then someone else creates "Moved" etc. Here I am coming along to look at the matter, and all I see is multiple threads on same topic everywhere. Looks to me like you are messing when I see this. Next time a thread gets moved and you are not happy about it, be adult and PM the managers (vampirejackie/samlad) or create just one thread to debate the issue. You be more professional in your conduct and we'll take you more seriously.

P.S. You thread doesn't even include a link to thread you are complaining was moved.

Regardless, if it was me starting this thread I'd probably have created it multiple times also. There's plenty of evidence that Patricia only responds to what suits her and just ignores the rest. I'd probably spread my payload around a bit too. Hoping that she might deign to respond to at least one of them..

Ok so 2 threads were created at same time by 2 people, but you didn't need to create 2 threads yourself did you? Or did you not know of your earlier one at the time you created 2nd one? ;-P

Guys, there are procedures here to make a complaint. That is not unreasonable. Please, you don't need to post multiple threads trying to get my attention. You can just make one complaint.

Sorry now Patricia - but one of the officially sanctioned procedures is to post a thread in the Escort-Ireland.com forum.

I spent a fair amount of time in there today reading back on the post history. I can say with reasonable authority that it's generally about as effective as a chocolate teapot. As an example, if you get a moment, scan through a few pages and parse all the threads referencing "I posted a review, where is it?". The stock response is either ignore it or "we didn't get it post again".

This is an ongoing problem with the site that has been well documented for a very long time. Wouldn't it be better if your "tech team" stopped pricking about with little badges and internet popularity contests and maybe put some resource into addressing this very frustrating problem?

The tech team have looked into that and logged it to see exactly what was happening. The reviews that are not coming through are ones where the reviewer is spending a very long time before submitting the review and it isn't practical to extend the session length any further. Unless you take an hour plus, you are not getting session timed out and the review gets to us. That is what the logging found and it was monitored for over a month to check that was the only issue preventing a review being submitted.

Sorry now, and I know you will take no notice and continue under the impression your tech team are "uber mega" - but this is rubbish!!! This is a classic problem that has been around in various guises for a lot longer than websites or HTTP. There are numerous techniques for dealing with this. This is really entry level stuff here, there's no alchemy or rocket science involved.

In another thread where you actually asked me for specifics, which I supplied and you ignored, I mentioned REST (Representational State Transfer) which is just one (currently very popular) method for dealing with this problem. That, you can have for free!

No actually it is not. I saw all the logs myself.

Patricia as I said in the other thread, I'm out. I know you don't see it this way but I am genuinely trying to help you but I know it's pointless to continue with you.
I will leave you with this though and please have a think about it and take it as advice not criticism. I'm not sure what logs you are seeing or what you think they mean but trust me, I really do know what I'm talking about here. There is a grain of truth to what your guys are telling you, insofar as long idle periods and flakey client side connections cause problems as HTTP is a stateless protocol (simply, it does not keep track of sequences of events). However, if you only take away one thing that I say, take this. It is a well understood problem and there are MANY techniques for dealing with it.

I know that if your guys could just grasp this so may issues here like reviews not being submitted, the random nature of the login state between the board and the site (having to visit the message board before your favourites show up???) and many others I just can't think of now would be gone...

Just ask them, why do these problems not effect other larger and more complex sites? Why is it an EI issue? What are you doing that is so unique?
