It’s not the iPhone as a device, nor is it the influx of iPhone users, it’s the quality of many of the incoming iPhone users…many of what are being called “old school users” are also iPhone users-I just hate being lumped in with what I am seeing is an issue of high school or less mentality, lack of sensitivity, etc.
Even 13 year olds on here from other countries have more common decency, compassion, and overall good manners to respect feelings over some of the “adult” users, and have the self control to leave that catty b**&s^&* at home.
It’s the individual lack of integrity that most of these newbs have that is really bringing “the love” down.
Biggest issues I see with iPhone only users:
-Lack of knowledge/use of search function to pre-check questions;
-Lack of understanding about the “Fluther” culture and etiquette (you hear me say this one a lot);
-Misuse of the question/answer posting format; how many here are SICK of seeing questions that look like this: “I have a problem…” or “Do you know what to do…”?
C’mon, just ask the question on the first page, it’s so annoying to have to click through to read the rest…which leads me to my last problem:
-iPhone users have NO flagging mechanism, neither on the question page nor from within the thread! I know the Fluther gods are hard at work on that one, but it can’t come soon enough!
I know that the Fluther gods are hard at work on a solution, even though it’s not apparent just yet…keep hope alive!
