    Looks like I made it!

    Just had a frustrating sign-up process but appear to be online now. Have worked in print engine design/manufacturing for years over my career.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

      Welcome

      Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

          Re: Looks like I made it!

          Am I being chastised? Or not aware that a scarlet letter "A" has been pinned to my burnoose?
          Are we living in a Black Mirror world following the spirt of episode from season 3, "Nosedive"?

          Anyone that looks over the message thread of what I'm had to navigate to get online the site would appreciate the playful demeanor. I'm sure I'll enjoy the site but not excited to be under mob rule (albeit a digital version of).

          EDIT: Intended to include this link to Wikipedia in regards to my reference to "Nosedive"

            And I would submit that anyone having read that message thread would recognize it as a very informative user case.

              you need to read the forum rules.. snide snarky talk is something that gets you red cards.

              you didn't follow SOP here to be able to post.... and PMing people just because you failed to follow SOP is annoying .

                Re: Looks like I made it!

                And yet what controls are in place to monitor the adequateness of said SOPs? How frequently is the site's UX design and, UX for that matter, evaluated? Is there at least an established curriculum to learn the SOPs?

                Could someone please help me feel even more like I'm the Villain? Please start with this excerpt from my message thread (which included me asking for help on an issue that has not been resolved btw) regarding getting onto this site:
                "PLEASE take this in the context of professional feedback it is intended: Who the flip-flap cares if the directions are in somewhere on the site - if a user can't locate something that important within 5 minutes, believe me the problem isn't with what the user does or does not do with following directions. I think about my time in product development (and I'm sure other areas of business). The quickest way to the status quo and the end is telling the customer it's THEIR fault. **Tries to get down from his soap box**"

                  1) I am not admin.
                  2) you PM'd me 5 times and I told you that you didn't follow procedures to be able to post.
                  3) then you post snarky comments about CTN.
                  4) Admin is a working tech also just like most of us here... did you even message admin in your flurry of PM's to me? Didn't think so.
                  5) you are an end user that thinks it should be run YOUR WAY... this ain't Burger King.
                  6) read the forum rules https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/misc.php?do=vsarules
                  7) read the FAQ's https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/faq.php
                  8) none of us get paid to help other users out...

                    Re: Looks like I made it!

                    OK, I'm trying to consider your comments but need to ask for your help first. You keep using the acronym, "CTN" - I've seen you use it 4-5 times now in our messages and forum posts. I have no idea what it means. I consulted the internet and none of these seem to fit the context: CTN - What does CTN stand for? The Free Dictionary
                    It may very well have been explained before but do not remember that. Could you please let me know what that means?

                        Re: Looks like I made it!

                        Easy now.

                        CTN (Copytechnet) does not award full rights in the first 5 minutes. Your first posts must be in the Newbie Checkin forum, and are reviewed before being posted. Please allow a little time to get additional rights.

                        Being technicians we're plenty used to snarky comments, so that's nothing new, but it will not get you anything but those red cards. My recommendation is to be patient.

                        Don't worry about Phil, he's more bark than bite. And no, I am not a moderator either, so please do not barrage me with private messages to get additional rights.

                        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                          I see that Phil pretty much explained what CTN means. If you are still having trouble posting, trying posting a question here https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/s...and-questions/ or here https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/test-forum/. The first is for those needing answers to problems using this website. A few old timers BC and myself though not admins or moderators to try to help. The only current admin lives in or near New York City, I spelled that out for you in case you didn't know what NYC meant. He has been quite busy the last year + with his day job and personal life. He does login every few weeks or so to delete reported spammers and illegal advertisement. He will usually check https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/s...and-questions/ for amy one having a problem when he is logged in.

                          Sending an unsolicited Private Message, PM, is a major no-no. Some techs such as myself will just ignore you and delete the message. Others will red card you, especially if you send more than 1 PM.
