BadBear

[sayulita]

I have sent 2 extremely polite Private messages to the Admin BadBear asking for his assistance with an issue.

He ignores Private Messages.

What should I do next?

[deadley]

Post here in meta section, if he will think, he need to reply, he will surely do.
Mostly time he do.

I appreciate that. I kinda thought by posting the post in the manner that I have into this section that it might illicit a response from Badbear.

I will wait patiently, I am sure he/she is a busy person.

Thanks.

Yeah, if it's a valid request or notice I'm pretty sure he didn't ignore it.
He probably accidentally skipped over it or hasn't gotten that far into his influx of PM's.

Good luck!

Thanks again.

I will happily wait for the Admin. I have run a forum before and can appreciate how time consuming it can be to reply to everybody.

Administrators and some Global mods receive a lot of PMs and they tend to miss some. Juat PM him later if you don't get a response (like after 24-72 h or so).

Very much appreciated. I will give him more time.

Thanks.

Maybe try to pm a mod? Im sure they can forward your message to badbear.

bumping with patience.....still no reply.

Theymos is away at the moment, so I imagine BadBear is extremely busy. He's got to cover for Theymos and is also being bombarded with messages from other members. I couldn't imagine the amount of messages he receives in the space of a hour. Most of his messages probably aren't quick fixes either and requires researching and then finding a solution. If your message isn't a priority then he will probably dismiss it until more important issues have been dealt with, although I'm not 100% familiar how he handles things and I might be wrong.

BadBear has seen this thread though, so just remain patient. It's been suggested to contact a moderator if you haven't already if your issue could be solved by them.

Also, a quote from theymos about the PM feature:

The forum's PM system isn't perfect, so I occasionally miss/lose PMs, especially if the PM is about something more complicated than average and I put it on my to-do list (i.e. I keep the PM open in a tab and if my browser crashes I probably lose it). I received ~500 PMs in September, and I think I lost some of them. If you sent me a PM and I didn't respond after a week or so, send it again.

Should imagine, BadBear is in the same position as Theymos was back then.

Did you use the secret Illuminati signaling protocol to contact Badbear?

I forgot my handbook at the last Bohemian Grove ceremony so perhaps you better refresh my memory.

Do I pour the blood of five virgins in the shape of a pentagram, and then pray to Satan,, or is it the other way around?

I always forget this part.

I wonder how many don't get it?

Love it.

That pic made my day!

@OP, IIRC I saw BadBear posting in Meta a couple of days ago.. so I guess he saw this thread. Either he's busy or he can't help you and silence is his answer.

Good one

I got it right away! So  funny, bud, especially where the bear claw is located.  (humor at the expense of BB and t, meaning no harm)

[sayulita]

Still waiting, and no reply.

Patience is a virtue.

Here, let me help you bump and ask...

What is the issue you need BB to resolve? Maybe the community can help if its just knowledge?

Does BB have to be the one to do it?

The answer to that question is more than likely yes it is something the crowd can/has answered before or there are probably 50 threads discussing the issue.


Major reasons why PM's are ignored by Admins and G-Mods.
