Thread bumping and general expressions of impatience/lack of respect

I generally try to keep my rants to a minimum and address issues as they occur while trying to maintain a sense of decorum.  One of my pet peeves is thread "bumping" when someone doesn't get an immediate response to an issue they are having.  Likewise, I have seen some snarky/disrepectful responses to app authors and content contributors when they get an answer they don't agree with or a suggestion they disagree with.

 

While there isn't a forum rule or guideline against it, I am going to be a little more heavy-handed in dealing with some of these issues going forward.  

 

The admins, moderators, and authors for GameEx, PinballX, and the various plugins, applications, and content do so out of love of the hobby and a desire to share with others of like mind.  This isn't our full-time job and nobody is owed anything.  It may take several days to a week before we are able to respond.  In general, the responsiveness within these forums is better than most any that I have experienced, be it in the timliness of the responses and fixes, or other users that have experienced similar issues jumping in to help.

 

If you don't agree with a suggestion, keep a civil tongue.  If you are asked for additional information (log or configuration files, error codes, etc.), provide it.  If you posted a request for assistance and you have not received a response in a 3-4 days then be patient!  While you are waiting, hone up on your search skills for the issue and do some of your own leg work.  If you find a resolution to your issue, kindly update your thread in return. Show some integrity and gratitude for the efforts of those that are seeking to make these products and community great! It's not too much to ask nor expect.
