Shake to undo in iOS
Authored by: Mac Berry on Oct 22, '10 12:30:20AM

@ various; you do realise do you that when you resort to personal insults, all you do is mask any valid point you might be making?

If you don't agree with my feedback, fine, say so; you might even convince me, but name calling and labelling someone as stupid just because you don't agree simply marks you down as someone who can't express an opinion in an adult manner.

I don't think this kind of "hint" fits here, and have done the site the courtesy of providing that feedback with an explanation of why. Are you saying that only positive feedback is acceptable?

And "if you don't like it, move on" is a cop out. All that says is " I like it like it is, can't be bothered to enter into a proper discussion about it, so will try to silence anyone I don't agree with". It certainly doesn't help the site owners understand their readership.

If the majority really do want this site to list every feature of each OS, that's fine, and I'll contribute a massive list myself, but I don't think that is what a lot of people want, and it's certainly not what the site used to be.

Mark

I don't speak for anybody else, but I'll say this to all of you: if you don't like a particular hint, spend your time developing a better one. It's a better use of that time than going after the other posters.

If you can't do that, then cut the other people that do bother to contribute a little slack.

And if you can't do that, send me a PM and we'll work that out.

If my original comment was aimed at anyone, it was you, not the hint submitter, but even then in the spirit of providing feedback, not to insult you.

I can't see how whether or not I'm able or ready to post a "better" hint has anything to do with whether or not I should give feedback on this one? It's not a competition is it? I don't earn commenting rights by posting better hints do I? If I do, then I certainly qualify, having sent several in the past.

I'll send you a PM.

@ MacBerry

While I agree with you to an extent and respect your comment(s), your list of "hints" at the beginning was pretty condescending. Plus, I didn't really see anyone calling you stupid.

There apparently seems to be some confusion about this "feature". Some think there is multiple undo, some don't, some didn't even know it existed.

Maybe we should have a Mac OS X Hints PRO area.

There is no courtesy involved when you begin the "feedback" with a threat to leave and not return if things are not quickly changed to suit you.

That is pure Diva behavior! Diva never looks good on a geek.
