I authored
this thread yesterday, which itself was a re-post of a question relating
to why my signature had been changed (seemingly without notice) several times. Admittedly I was feeling a bit angry at the time, because posts, and
even profile settings of mine were changing, but there seemed to be no explanation given for the changes.
It was only after Don'tTreadOnMe closed the linked thread and requested that I check my PM that things started making sense.
"PMs" I thought. Huh? Whenever I log in, at my account landing page, I've never once seen the presence of a PM. The text always reads something to the
effect of "you have
0 private messages".
It was only after I went to the message area that it seemed like the curtains had been lifted.
Applause, what is that?
Oh, post warnings, yes I could see how a few of my opinions might've rubbed people the wrong way.
Messages from members I hadn't known about.
Ah, here are the explanations for why my GPG fingerprints was taken down.
So ultimately, since I now at least see the staff had given an explanation for why my signature was changed, the sensation of being locked in a dark
room (when it comes to staff decisions) has been lifted.
I do disagree with the decision for why the signatures were changed, but as I see that staff did take the time and courtesy to explain their actions
(via PMs I hadn't known about till yesterday), I'm happy to abide by their actions, and work to change opinions the right way, through persuasion and
dialog.
So I'm sorry for ignoring or not acknowledging any comms sent to me through PMs. I now know that "you have
0 private messages" means to check
your private messages anyways.
