A new feature for the Big Blue Navbar, possibly prompted by this forum thread
(I don’t know what on earth Isadora thinks is the main problem. I thought all the ‘bad elements’ were banned so as not to get in the way of her and the happiness engineers? Something’s scaring Trent and the happiness engineers off posting, and it ain’t me.)
If you see any ads on this or any other wordpress.com blog, they are Automattic's. Not mine. Nothing to do with me. I could get rid of them if I were minded to hand over $30 a year, but to be honest I think I probably need the money more than Matt does. If any of them offend you or seem inappropriate, do please inform our Google overlords.

I’ve reported myself yesterday, just as this feature been rolled out.
actually, that kind of unbearable bossy tone in the fora (following the link, shared in the prev. post) is very frustrating.
well, those who lack (thanks God!) an opportunity to parent and vent an anger (caused by a dissatisfied libido) on kids of their own, for nothing they have better, usually don’t miss to grab such a comfortable chance on fora.

I’m petitioning for Matt and Mark to bring the hammer down on the CP troublemakers. IMO the forums have turned into a mess and the CP troublemakers ought to be “inactivated” ASAP.
The way I see it, it’s only fair and equitable that those who were a part of the decision making process that resulted in underage kids blogging here i.e. the management and paid staff of Automattic ought to deal with these little beggars and their dramas via email.

@tt –
i think that might be taking the april fools humor a bit far.

This is just too funny not to share. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=25295&replies=10
After reading the interchange between chewypupforever and blaxter I visited Blaxter’s blog.
Note what I found on Blaxter’s About page:
*rotflmao*
So shall we start a pool on how long it takes before Matt and Mark “inactivate” chewypupforever? Or will we have a sock puppet sock hop?

This has gotta be an Apil fool. (But I’m gonna check anyway, cuz it’s such a great idea.)

I was going to do a mockup of a premium theme selection page where every theme other than ‘Peaceful Path’ had a big blue header, but time did not allow. Maybe next year
That thread tt linked to is a fairly accomplished piece of trolling from one so young. If it’s the same chewy, he’s come a long way since ‘my dads an criminal lawyer or something’. Unlikely he’ll be banninated, though, he’s not helping enough people to get in Isadora’s way.

He also is at least entertaining.

thatgirl,
does that mean you will still be wordpress wanking a year from now? this is one of the things that makes blogging worthwhile.
Steven said
CP don’t seem to be banned yet. God I hate children. *Shrugs*
that girl again said
Your daily dose of penguin wank:
I’m sorry, but why is it OK for kids to post stuff like that when my forum account was inactivated merely for asking whether Matt’s email was down? How does this constitute an improvement in tone?
Oh, I forgot: he probably bought more credits than me and threatened them with legal action. Silly me.

Must be since The Matt says so.

And they close the thread without making sure that the poster got his issue resolved.
that girl again said
Oh, who cares about the OP? He can go and post on the German forum where he belongs. </sarcasm>
Mark says chewy ‘needs to be seen and not heard’. I’m sort of at a loss why he needs to be seen.

OOPS! That’s wrong. Look closer. Mark said:

Mark has the ability to edit his posts

And it looks really really bad..
I’m desperately trying to find the cleaner and less cluttered dashboard, but I can’t find it.. That orange bar in the main dashboard section hurst my eyes..
timethief said
I don’t have an orange bar. Mine is blood screaming red and shouts at me RIGHT NOW!
Cat said
Well, it’s a kind of orange/red mess.
Just spent about 20 mins hunting round the Dash to figure out how to upload stuff. Surely they could’ve made an extra option in the manage uploads section or is that too much to ask?
