They seem to want the benefit of a free service run by volunteers as well as an entity with corporate responsibilities and mentality. You can't have it both ways.

ok, I only continued this thread to try and get HELP on a problem I was experiencing with one of the GREAT mods by JumpD. It should have been simple to just reinstate the threads and close them, until a final decision could be made. This would have taken less time to accomplish than the time spent reading these threads.

Believe me I feel for volunteers and PAID support staff, especially a lvl 1 position, as they take the brunt of abuse from the customers. I don't think anyone here, ok maybe some, do not truely apprecaite vb.org and all the great work from everyone, I know I sure do. This is not, too me, about any past or ongoing support issue, I have made a "simple" request and now am sitting back and patiently waiting a resolution. Although, it appears this might become quite a telling support issue played out in public.

We are aware, however, that the thoughts and attitudes expressed here can have a negative impact on how Jelsoft looks and we do try to work with the vB.org staff to resolve issues. We cannot step in and override their authority here, or it would defeat the purpose of this project.

Well how about a nudge?

I'm being patient but as the "customer" I only see one course of action. So, am I being patient for them to restore the messages and close them, or am I being patient for them to make a decision on if they are going to restore them?
