Jesus, they're doing this out of a kindness to the community, trying to help people out. They aren't getting paid or anything(outside of valuable likes).
Just request something else, or build your own teams if you don't want to wait for one. I really hope people don't post in this thread expecting a team instantly provided(those Zam ones were mostly because everyone was building around Zam day 1).
What you are missing is this: I did wait, patiently, for 3 months, not saying anything at all to the "builder" that was supposed to be working on it since my request was already admittedly difficult enough. I didn't want to bother him, for I
knew it was going to take long. However, I was deceived into thinking that the "builder" was actually working on it. I wish I had saved the actual quote of him when I was informed he actually dropped my team two weeks after the request and never told it to anybody and was warded off by the ignorant words of the same person the same day. I mean, he could have just forgotten to build it, but no, he dropped it and didn't inform anybody about this. What I'm saying is this: He should have informed
NV or whoever is in charge of this back when he dropped my team, and should have had either the responsible authorities (aka NV) to properly reject my request when it proved too hard to fulfill or another builder to assign himself to my request,
not making me wait until the flush down of old requests and warding me off.
"Jesus, they're doing this out of a kindness to the community. They aren't getting paid or anything." ---> Fyi, this act is also known as "volunteering". While volunteering for a job doesn't make you get any kind of special thing in return, volunteers are still responsible for the jobs they are assigned - it doesn't matter if they took the job at their will or someone else assigned it to them. This "builder" acted irresponsibly - not when he dropped my request, but when he didn't inform the proper authorities about this situation. I don't see the kindness in warding someone off. (Oh, let me inform you, I would have kept my mouth shut and my keyboard unclicked if he had simply forgotten to build it. The foul case is something else here.)
"Just request something else..." I tried, but NV said that I shouldn't post another one before the first one is completed. Of course he said that for the sake of the credibility of the lab, and I agreed on his point, and didn't complain at all. The lab
is credible, guys. Just look at all these teams from the lab stored in
Aquadext's archive and you'll see why. This is only one incident where only one builder acted simply irresponsibly. While this
will hurt that credibility of this lab a little in some people's eyes, the entire lab is should definitely not be viewed as unreliable when there is just one rusty spot - which can be fixed with some lemon and salt - on a huge, sparkling iron plate.
I don't understand why are you acting like I'm a self-centered, sassy jerk who is lacking common sense,
Pinkin Lark. Isn't this very offensive? It's not like I started babbling and acting salty only one week after I had my posted my request (there are a few examples of
that in this lab too, iirc).
You know me, Lark. I've been around for a very long time. You know I'm better than that. Everybody who actually knows me in UU community knows that I'm better that. "Jesus", "I
really hope people..." That underline... If I'm not very much mistaken, you don't need that much emphasis there. I'm just a regular, popular user of UU who is seeking a reason, or an apology, behind this simple wrongdoing.
Oh, and
Pearl, I wish good luck on your request. n_n
If you are going to respond to me, let's continue this somewhere else,
because if this argument does continue here, it is going to derail the thread too much. I don't want that to happen. This is a good lab. I'm just the selfiehater, I won't dislike this tier/lab unless there is a selfie themed something here. Why would I? Most of the long-lasting authorities, voices, and regulars have always been nice to everybody that is affiliated with this tier.
