They started a survey regarding the interest of a Dragon online version so to speak.
All log on and tell them to **** *** (censored!) |

All the more reason to register under a new name, Wooly.  Who cares then what it is, as long as you are able to view the 'dubious' DDI content that you need a Gleemax -- gods I despise that name -- account for. Yes, I know it's the principal of the thing, but life's too short -- and often too unfair -- for us to always expect justice.  Time to move on, I think.

I'm glad the moderators here don't brush off and ignore the complaints of posters. I doubt they're paid, but from what I've seen, they still try to help out everyone and keep everyone happy. |

Well, it seems like what happened is still bothering you, so you might as well try again. I don't know for sure, but I don't think Wiz_O BigSis is even around any more.
Heck, why not try to recreate your old account? It's worth a shot. |

Have you ever written to WotC customer service about this? If not, I'd consider trying it. If you don't say anything, nothing is likely to ever happen.
If you have written to them, and it was a while ago, consider trying again. IIRC, you're describing an event that happened years ago. I've seen some really undeserving (IMO, of course) people get a "pass", so maybe this time a deserving perosn will get one.

I think I've had that happen to me. As said before, that was probably just the forums being screwy. They've been very screwy as of late. |

Wow, those are uses for the word "childish" that I've never seen before. |

And when discussing existing novels is forbidden, saying that a particular person hasn't written a novel, but that it might be good if he did, shouldn't be a violation of the rules -- but it somehow was.
And I still don't know what my alleged third offense was, since the entire thread was deleted. I suspect that it was another global warning inflicted on an innocent bystander, but we'll never know, because the info is gone.

-It is a volunteer position, in so far as I don't receive any compensation for what I do, nor am I affiliated with the company in an official manner. I have specific duties that I perform, but none of that includes making others happy. In fact, much of what I do makes other unhappy. That's not to say that I don't go out of my way to make people happy, though. I do, most of the time. You'll find only a select few who dislike me (and, truth be told, these individuals seem to have agendas, to begin with).

-Personally, I find this kind of stance childish. Especially if you then complain about not being able to access specific things, like those preview articles. But, to each his/her own. I'm not here to argue. |

I have, multiple times. The first time I panicked and changed my email and Gleemax (I hate that name) passwords, then I realized it was just Gleemax being stupid. |
