To me it shows he doesn't care about helping his userbase. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sam:

I would have to disagree with you. But you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it might be.

Hey can I get into this too?...

I disagree with you both. I have seen times when he was very helpful and fairly quick at it... and I have seen times where I wanna pull my hair out wishing he would come in and clarify matters.

I agree with everyone, no matter how right I am.

So not constantly chaging/updating the rules to you shows he doesn't care?  What if he changes a rule you don't like, then what?

All I can say in the past he has mentioned he didn't want a complete rules rewrite only to modify existing rules either because of a program change or if there was an issue that needed to be addressed.  I don't think his position is going to change because of this thread.  Which you stated it doesn't hurt to try.  But, you can't get upset if he choses not to post in this thread or make any rule changes because of this thread.

Maybe it would be helpful to address which contribution rules you think prevent/discourage user contributions.  Stating the rules need to be updated kinda open ended.

Then I submit how Ken wants it and keep what I don't like local... just like I do now (example, I remove possessives).

The main purpose of the thread was that the rules are not being updated on the rare occasion that Ken DOES make a ruling. Is it really to much to ask that the rules are updated at the same time to reflect these rulings rather than having to get no votes, linked to the thread and resubmit. Or even worse, people that are voting don't know about these posts and we end up with incorrect data through no fault of the contributor or the voters?

I'm not saying rules have to be changed, I'm saying that when there are posts where people are arguing over their interpretations of the rules, Ken should have the decency to step in quickly, give his ruling to prevent inconsistency in the online database and copy and paste any relevant rewording to the rules.

Q:What can we expect out of Invelos Software?
First and foremost, you can expect a persistent, ongoing presence in these forums.

I think it would be fair to say that this statement is at a minimum mis-leading.

I think it does set an expectation that has never been realized.

It doesn't say that Ken would have a persistent, ongoing presence in the forums.
