It's safe to say I'm not as confused by MySpace anymore. If you remember reading a few weeks back when I originally started my page, it took a double-team of tutorials for me to understand the simplest terms. Now with practice, of course, the process is pretty easy.
Unfortunately, the process is too easy for people of questionable intents to start pages on the site. The group moderator (who also happens to be the founder) insists he is there to help, and will quickly monitor those borderline pages, doing what he can to make sure the process is safe.
Steve & I noted one of these questionable pages yesterday with a blatantly offensive photo adorning the cover page. The profile was very suggestive in nature. It was pages like this that have thrown MySpace into the news at times. Citing its inappropriateness, we sent a message to the moderator in hopes this page would be removed.
Now, if he's available to everyone, obviously he may not get right to our message, since he has many other requests to process.
But this is what I don't understand. We were a bit long-winded in our original request, and the prompt came back from him: "Whooo!" Okay, we thought that was an honest reply; we used too many words. So we made a much shorter paragraph, asking him to take a look at the questionable page.
Immediately again: "Whooo!"
Is this the type of quality communication that we are promised, time & again, throughout the site? Some sort of staged comment which would pop up no matter what you typed?
This happened yesterday morning. If there's no response by Sunday, and we retype to get the same "Whooo!" response, well... we won't count on that bad page being removed. It just left a bad impression on us -- this is the extent of the technical support? I would hope not.
Canton Township authorities recently apprehended a juvenille escapee who had left taunting messages on his MySpace page, which authorities cite as key to his whereabouts and capture.
I say "Whooo!" simply because society has re-captured & locked up another convicted felon, making us safer. I only wonder what the moderator would say, at the risk of cuing up another staged statement to cover his investment.

The OJI bug hit Mike yesterday, as his shoulder went out on him at the airport lifting a golf bag, and he's already saying that the clinic people don't know what they're doing. I've been saying that since I got injured in January. I go back in today after three days off, and Mike told me not to play games, and go to that clinic the minute the back goes out on me again (which I know it will).
Gee... part of me wants to, and yet...
