You don't need an account to submit a ticket.

Dark UI Pattern 101… I am supposed to know this how? I was asked to register for an account, I did, and I paid. This was after I spoke to Jon, I think.
Was I also supposed to know that you don’t need an account to submit a ticket?
I am sorry, but this is turning into one of those situations where RTFM applies.. because in no way would I be able to know these things if I didn’t interact with them before, and you assumed that I had.
Thing is, I hadn’t.
Regardless, after your cockiness, it doesn’t matter.
Even with the “Manual”, it changes nothing.
You’re an Administrator. It is a trusted and core position. Value it, don’t make assumptions, and think the worst.
This is good advice for everything in life.. do not make assumptions, think the worst, or be a dick.
I'm not sure what issue you're running into, as I just tested submitting a ticket without an account and it worked as expected.
You didn't even read what I wrote.
1) I conversed via email about joining LET and buying a Patron Provider tag
2) Jon told me to make an account and pay.
4) I never kept those details, or, if I had, they were on the Macbook's Firefox which was never synced with Windows.
5) How was I supposed to know you can submit tickets as a gest, when I have never done so?
I am really not trying to be difficult, but this is a situation where you do need a manual, because you see a login button, and if you were told before to make an account.. you will do the same thing I did. Try to login, not rememmber the password, and send the PM instead.
So, once again, how was I to know that you can submit it as a guest? I may have used the Internet since I was a child, but I can't know every single thing out there.
How many tickets do I submit? How about... literally, like... one or two in a month to the same company? and as it happens, I am logged in...
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! Verasel and LET have mutually agreed to Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when both parties have concluded their ongoing final shifts!), lasting for 12 hours, at which point the crashout will be deemed ENDED! Officially, Verasel will initiate the CEASEFIRE, and after the 12th hour, LET will follow suit, culminating in an official END to THE 12 DAY CRASHOUT, recognized sitewide. During each CEASEFIRE, both sides remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. Assuming everything proceeds as planned, which it will, I extend my congratulations to both parties, Verasel and LET, for demonstrating the stamina, courage, and intelligence to conclude what should be referred to as 'THE 12 DAY CRASHOUT.' This conflict could have persisted for weeks, potentially devastating the entire shitposting industry, but it has not and will not. God bless Verasel, God bless LET, God bless the United States of America, God bless Corporate, and GOD BLESS THE HOSTING INDUSTRY!
@beanman109 shitposting and Kekistan are to be worshipped. God Bless Kekistan.
Donald where's your trousers?
@Verasel are you good? Your telegram are not working for 2 days
Well I see this is ramping up again, well done.
It's not you, it's me.
Too much spam on Telegram, hah.
And, as we can see, zero fucks were given that day from the Staff.
hopefully it all gets worked out.
edit: I'm shocked about his way of thinking. I commented on the wrong person.
WOW. One thing certainly is clear: you can't be accused of not trying really hard to be understood.
A propos "understanding": Mine (possibly wrong) is that you are a man who has reached a point where he can afford to feel and say "I have enough and then some (e.g. reserves). So why should I go the standard route? Nope, I won't bend over and forget my ideals just to make more money. I still do have ideals and a heart, so how could I act like the 'normal' businessman, striving to and focusing all my thoughts and actions on making even more money, how could I ignore that many can't afford even a decent VPS or, worse, a visit to the doctor or a good education for their children? Nope, I'll continue my own route, I'll continue to use some of the money I don't need to make the world a tiny bit better".
And btw, I'm not saying that because now I'm getting a free server, the major part of which, following your example, I'll give away in the form of free VDS - yes VDS, because VDS are what many think VPS are and actually should be. I'm saying it because I like you and because I highly value the fact, that there still are some humans like you who don't tick in "me! me! me!" and "more! more! more!" only.
But of course many don't like when one doesn't follow standard patterns. For them a business serves only one purpose, to make as much profit as possible and businessmen spend their money on themselves, things like luxury cars or yachts - and not on others! So "throwing about" free domains and servers without creating a clearly recognizable revenue stream just make you look crazy and probably suspect in their eyes.
I personally feel pity for those people - but I can understand them, their limited thinking within the model of what's "normal".
That said and again a propos "understanding": I think that you are too harsh towards @DP. You see, I think he simply and pragmatically wants rules to be obeyed, not because he's a bureaucratic guy (I don't think he is) but because with 1000s of users here and probably dozens of PMs every day the admins here just can't "prepare a thousand different meals", they have to tick in terms of a cantine as opposed to a restaurant (and even there the variety is quite limited).
THAT is why (I think) he insists to always use the standard ways laid out in the rules. Otherwise the admins here probably would drown.
Regarding the free server: thank you again so much Verasel! You made not only me happy but I'll make sure that a few others here also will be happy thanks to your generosity. I'll very soon send you a DM
FWIW: that doesn't match my experience with @angstrom at all. Granted, I don't PM him often, a couple of times per year I guess, so my data basis is tiny. But when I do contact him, say because I need a thread title slightly changed (like adding "[Updated]") I always experienced him as very helpful, friendly and usually even reacting quickly.
Also @DP (I think it was him) is right, the admins and mods here (with only one single exception AFAIK) do for free what they do, which also makes it very likely that they have good intentions and want to be helpful.
lots of mismanaged expectations here.
someone's paying $200
a bunch of peeps not getting paid
@Verasel , for the historical record and for historical accuracy, based on my extensive and laborious research, you've started four giveaway threads so far:
In sum, when you say that you want "all of your threads restored", we're talking about two threads, from 08 December and from 09 July. Of these, the thread from 08 December is now ancient history. The thread from 09 July was justifiably removed (by me), and as a result, I'm afraid that I can't fairly or reasonably restore it
Like any user, you're free to open a ticket asking for permission to post a giveaway, as the rule https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/137719/lowendtalk-community-rules/p1#giveaways says. Beyond this, I'm afraid that we're not able to give you a "free pass" to post giveaways (sorry)
You just don't get it.
This isn't only about you, he could have complained about literally anyone else. This entire thread is just about him throwing a fit because he didn't get special treatment and a free pass because of the giveaways he does that nobody asked him to do in the first place. Most importantly, you should not have removed the posts because you, as a moderator, can only enforce rules in a way that aligns with how Verasel feels like interpreting them. I don't think you can or you even should try to reasonably argue with that. That is not to say that Verasel doesn't have good intentions or doesn't want to give something to the community, however, this entire thread speaks volumes.
You all know this diva (me) loooves a good drama.
But at this point why are we still beating a dead horse after 12 pages? This thread should have been closed a long time ago.
TWC
@Rubben , you may be right, but I guess that I believe in education and in trying to educate people even if it often seems like a losing battle
"The Weather Channel"? "Texas Water Commission"? "Tylenol With Codeine"? "The Wesleyan Church"?
What?! Read back up top of this page and bottom of the previous where he's winding himself up to cuss out @DP too, this is so not played out.
Let it be, fucking traitor.
Well this was a long and interesting read 🤣
It's been 12 pages, and my brief skimming shows that he would like an exemption from the rules and isn't pleased that he didn't get one? Is that the right tldr on this?
I vote for verasel having an exemption from the rules.
He is a one of a kind.
And y'll chill, too much steam for nothing. Dont corner this guy just because he can afford to give things free. Dont hate, focus on how you could do like him.
Let him focus on more giveaways/free-stuff/discounts/etc for the community.
@Verasel
not even a month old account... what made you think your vote would matter?
Obviously my view/vote wont matter, thats why i've written it like i vote regardless of result.:)
I vote someone makes up their damn mind, and either makes an exemption or not, states clearly what the decision is, and closes the damn thread. It's kinda embarrassing admins and mods have let this bickering go so long, not to mention joining into it. Don't know any of the parties involved, don't really care either way.... but why the hell is this still open??
I appreciate the response. Make sure you're taking a salary from your business venture, you don't want to be burned out from the work and stress and doing it without profit and just pack it all in one day.
