Are you starting the complaint thread?

Somewhat, just seconding the notion that it should be more organized. 

I've got a little bit less time as of late so I haven't been coming around as often, but when I do there are SO many of the same exact topic and question asked over and over again.  It's mind numbing.  There was a long period of time when I had literally read every post on the site.  Guess I'm giving that up and only looking back at things that are interesting or new.

Are you starting the complaint thread?

We used to have that here, it was called "Orders Shipping List".

No no I have nothing against any other user... I was mostly thinking about threads like:

Why are shipping costs so high? - Oh my they are so high indeed! - Unbearable! - Why don't they use [insert shipping company name instead]!

Which by the way I think it's a perfectly valid complaint and I just did my share of it myself earlier today

But this kind of discussions tend to appear in more or less any other thread (a couple of weeks ago the Z wobble compensation thread became for a while another "Solidoodle is so bad at releasing firmware updates" thread), and I think it would be neater to just keep everything in one place

Edit: and it could also be a way to keep track of real complaints and maybe point support in the right direction saying "look there are already 556 people complaining about your shipping costs, and it's all documented here, maybe you could look into it?"

@Ian LOL!

And yeah, totally agree!

I started a thread for that as well, albeit unknowingly.

Like a NAG (Nearly Anything Goes) huh?

That's the spirit

I would like to suggest a "wailing wall" subsection where the users can complain about their Solidoodles, the company, the bad weather, whatever... It would hopefully keep the wailing contained in one defined place, that people can safely ignore or read for a fun pastime.

And "what happens in the wailing wall, stays in the wailing wall".
