I apparently have because I choose to visit certain forums and expect appropriate topics to be there. Instead I have found all sorts of topics in any one of the forums. Post what you like but I request that you post an item in the most relevant forum.

Think of it as a library where visitors would like to find what they are looking for without sifting through all the other material.

This particular post could have been posted in the general (where I post news) and also in the Cingular forum).

thanks 🙂

General? Sure. Cingular forum? No... it'd probably just start a flame war.

Continue to discuss topics of wide interest on the Verizon forum (even if they're not strictly 'Verizonesque')? Yeah, probably.

g-d forbid that you go along with generally accepted community standards. Ignore Rich's hard work to pick the forums and organize. Little boy above all else.

No need to be snippy and take cheap shots just because we disagree over where the line is drawn, Sam. I hardly am the #1 source of mass off-topic posts, I simply want the latitude to discuss the industry a bit more broadly. And I have a great deal of respect for Rich... in our exchanges, he's never seemed to think of me as a problem.

Perhaps you should trust that ppl who don't think precisely as you do can still be nice, well-meaning ppl. That's a sign of adulthood too. 😉

And the poster child for that behavior weighs in 😁

You have a nice weekend too, P.

Nah, you got me beat on the snippy, cheap shots...

Explain to me why cingular's legal issues are relevant to the VZW forum. Your prior explanation suggests that anything going on with any carrier could be of interests to those of VZW and therefore be posted in the VZW forum.

We agree that it is most relevant in the news forum but why should I have to sift through it in the VZW forum. Why should I or anyone else expect other carriers info in this forum?

How would you specifically define the boundaries?

This is not about you or me, this is about how to use the forum structure as Rich has defined it most appropriatly for all concerned.

Its relevant simply because Cingular is a major competitor to Verizon, Sam. If Cingular introduced a major new rate plan, ppl would certainly discuss it on carrier forums. Why would that be so bad?

I've also noticed that many of the reps who frequent this site have worked for multiple carriers. Today's VZW rep may be tomorrow's Cingy rep, and vice-versa. Given the volatility of today's job market, wouldn't ppl want to know a little about job-related issues at other carriers?

I guess I just don't see why the focus has to be so straight n' narrow. This isn't a very busy forum.

It doesn't have anything to do with the "Verizon Sued" thread... 🤣
Or the "Verizon Anti-Union" thread...
I guess there wasn't anything good in the news for verizon, so they had to talk about their opposition.
My training center is also the OKC call center... you get fired for working off the clock. I have a hard time believing that Cingular "forced" people to work off the clock, but rather people worked early, and are now suing to get back at an ex-employer.
