That's a little mean... Unprofessional too. Plus it appears she is requesting a book for someone else. So there is a third party aspect to it and we just don't know what goes on in her / their daily lives. She could have a very good reason for not responding earlier.
Unprofessional? This isn't a job?☯ DαякєηRнαℓ ❛ ᶜʳᵒᵘᶜʰᶤᶰᵍ ʰᵘᵐᵃᶰ ; ʰᶤᵈᵈᵉᶰ ᵗᶤᵗᵃᶰ ❜ wrote: ".... She could have a very good reason for not responding earlier. "
Yes, she could, but she doesn't even hint at it being so. And looking at her profile, she has been active on goodreads meanwhile. I was (mostly) joking, once mod is online, I'm sure they'll move it back.
Yeah... but it is a group that helps people find books and it sorta, kinda, runs like a business in that sense doesn't it?But look I'm not trying to pick fights. I didn't know she's been active in the meantime. But even so its a bit childish to say in a way 'oh since you've wasted our time you can go at the very back of the line' you know what I'm saying? Since that is what I gathered from your comment.
And on that note there isn't much of a time aspect to this group. I mean yes it is very annoying when the OP does not answer and one is left curious but it isn't in the rules (I think) that one has to respond within a certain time frame. Rude, but not obligatory.
And with that my point is, okay she's wasted everyone's time, but that doesn't mean she should be ignored and her thread not handled. Joking, not joking.
Not joking: I don't want to pick a fight either. "not handled" sounds to me like you have support desk like business definition of the group to me. It'll be moved back - Lobstergirl has been doing that for threads which get responds. Even the OP can move it herself.

FYI. I had already moved this thread to the Unsolved folder. My thinking was simple - if a member indicates they're actively looking for a specific book, then the Unsolved folder seems appropriate. It was a split-second decision. You folks have given the matter more thought. Thanks for that.
Yes, this is an unpaid job. :)
I can think of two other threads where OP replies after the thread is already moved to Abandoned (I don't mean ones where there is a reason pointed out - illness, not visiting the site etc.), people make suggestion or two and they stop responding again.But no objections to it being in Unsolved.
Shoot... I actually would just like to clarify something. When I said "joking, not joking", I didn't mean it to be rude / like I'm saying "sorry. not sorry". Stupid ISL - Internet Speak Limitations. I realized last night, going over this conversation in my head, how it could have also been taken but what I actually meant was, like in the sense, if you're joking or not joking. You know what I mean? I wasn't being sassy and saying that I was joking, oh not joking. And yes that is correct Ayshe. I do see this as a job of sorts. This group. I mean, its handled like a business and that is what a moderator is for, to make sure things run smoothly and the group doesn't end up in chaos. I see every group and every moderator in that capacity. Even in simple role play groups. There is a system and a group leader who makes sure things run smoothly.
I mean, here for example, the moderators move threads on a daily basis to their correct folder, help members in search of their book be it by giving directions on how to optimize their thread information or even suggest books.
Of course another person could see it in another light, which is why I specifically said look that's how I see it.
The thing is I don't like seeing people not getting a fair shake because of someone else's personal feelings. I'm guilty of it, and I've been on the blunt end of the stick too. That's the problem with today's society. We need to be better. Do better, live better. We are capable of it but emotions get in the way. And now I'm going very philosophical lol My apologies.
Anyways, I just wanted to explain / clarify.
And I know the moderators of this group do their very best and work hard and I applaud you guys for it. It isn't easy with such a large group with literally hundreds of members asking for books and sometimes having people get emotional along the way and just being plain human and flawed. Keep up the great work, and I shall endeavor to assist whenever I can with threads and requests if I catch them or know what someone is asking for :)
Even if 99% of the time I don't know what people are referring to :P

Please?"Dude chill out, I'm not bashing you but you've already been given suggestions for ways you can fix your thread so it follows the rules, the top listings in the forum are threads with with tips for posting that are meant to HELP you. Ignoring them makes it harder for you to get attention and for people to help solve your book.
Goodness, I missed a lot.
Mod
Just wanted to mention the user named CitKat (who had three to four threads of the same enquiry) still has two active threads for the same book.I also want to point out that the user named Dawn and her posts are still a mess. She responded however on one thread saying her account got hacked and much of her data was stolen. I just feel like pointing this out, perhaps the moderators have already decided to give this one time?
Mod
They seem to be different books.
Mod
@LobstergirlThanks for answering! I do see now that on a second, more intense glance, the two threads are about different books. Weird that both involve sex tapes but okay, they are not the same, my bad! I just noted the 'sex tape' bit in both and didn't look more carefully.
And alrighty, I see. My main reason for posting about that was just mainly to find out the moderator's take on it. Now I know what the procedure is for future reference.
