Trent Collins writes in the brainstorm group link
Hi Guys,The tech team migrated the messages off of the main server in the last few days to lighten the load further and so that glitch may have been part of that migration. I’ve just got back online after a few days holiday so missed it myself and I’m just catching up on the latest of the tech team. If I hear anything else then I’ll let you know.
Trent Collins from Montreal, Canada
So Mr Collins “heard” that a message migration gives the message reading at 24 million?
Can any one confirm message migration causes this error?
The main guy who caused the problem is sitting silent. It looks like no one have the decency to own up for a simple mistake .”If” it was not a mistake can some mailserver experts show us some links to this happening elsewhere.
Will Mr Collins let us know also wrong information ? Why does Mr Collins feel he has the credibility to be a spokesman for couchsurfing?
Just reminds me of Karl Rove
jerme, the comments and pings were closed for this post. I’ve now opened them.
I want to warn you, I’m going to give you some harsh feedback. I think it’s important.
Your posts dominate this blog recently. You’ve written 9 posts since 29 May. In that time, there have been only 15 posts. So you represent 60% of the last 15 posts on this blog.
Personally, I don’t read your posts. I think your writing style is inflammatory. I find your posts to be poorly written and badly presented. So my personal request to you is this, please stop posting. Stop writing. Stop filling this blog with your opinion.
Just to be clear. I’m not asking you as an administrator to stop posting. This blog is open so you have the same rights as anyone else. But as a regular reader and strong supporter of OpenCouchSurfing, I believe you are doing the campaign more harm than good. I believe we will make more progress without your posts.
I’m also concerned that you deleted a number of your posts some time ago. I had assumed you would stop posting after that. Now that you are posting again, I am concerned you will decide to delete your posts at some point in the future.
Yeah Callum!! Block that MOFO!!
Spot on, Callum. As he did NOT stop posting after deleting his earlier posts (deleting all comments from others with it) I now have to assume that this was a deliberate trolling strategy to disrupt this forum.
jermes key issue is that he does not give a constructive alternative solution to the problem he posts about, on top of the fact that he writes a blogpost for every little junk issue that comes up.
i also agree with pickwick that jerme is disrupting the spread of quality information with quantity crap.
I mainly agree with the 4 previous comments.
Haha, strange situation huh, where someone who is putting effort into a site does not align with the goals of that site. First thing to do is to ask them to stop writing nicely. Wonder what’s next if he doesn’t stop posting…
I was about to write the same about Jerme. Thank you Callum!
This “Jerme” fellow doesn’t seem to have the guts to identify themselves – no link to their profile.
Callum, is it difficult to establish a Digg-style voting system for blog posts?
I wonder if it’s time for OCS to rebrand and refocus on promoting hospitality sites they believe in (ie. in line with the new mission). On that note, I’ve started a new blog called http://www.karmaeconomy.com (a term I first heard from Kasper). If anyone is interested in promoting whatever social cause they are involved, feel free to contact me to become an author.

p.s. International Free Hug day – Saturday July 5th 2008!
uh typo, that was supposed to be http://www.karmaeconomy.org
it all boils down that content is of better quality if users are to be identifyable, especially with blog postings
Socially-controlled social forums must resemble real life social encounters as closely as possible. Reputation and personal presence create accountability; that accountability rewards positive behavior and punishes negative behavior. With no consequences, most will still act ethically, but with a system that holds people in check through social inclusion, responsible behavior is much more common.
