"Visited the Community" question

[SZak2015]

I don’t know which are worse, computer/software bugs or real bugs. Both bug so I suppose they are both bugs…or bugs that bug.

I suppose a computer/software bug is better off being called a bug rather than an insect.

Too bad I wasn’t here for those easy level ups

[professor]

No, I just recognise the old fashioned way (I remember) an active helpful member, don’t really need a level at all.

I was against the Star Contributor program for that reason.

[image] Hi, Anker fans! You may have noticed our community growing by leaps and bounds this year. From adding a plethora of new members, to expanding our content to cover all of Anker Innovations’ key brands, there’s a lot to celebrate. As we get bigger, we will need to add to our team of key members. That’s where you come in. Introducing the Star Contributor program. Our Star Contributors will be highly active forum members responsible for providing us with fresh new content each week in exc…

I remain of the view a separate ranking of contributor is anti community. I see other members making good contribution like @gAnkster. There are plenty of ways to recognize contribution. But, this is Anker’s choice. They pay the AWS bill. Oh and making a new thread, transparently to make points is also not nice.

Just had this and not sure what it is/means!

And it takes me to this,

Likely the storage location changed and they rehosted from old to new, compare URL.

There are so beautiful bugs.
Some time ago there were photos published when talking about bugs.

This is a lovely one.

Cached copies of images to the community server from the external host(s)…likely to cut down on possible viruses/malware tampering going forward…

[paulstevenewing]

Thanks @ndalby

[professor]

Yes that’s the most common to rehost the image so if the source image changed you can’t insert new image content past the moderator. Imagine the spammers opportunity if you didn’t, someone could point to a link of an image of a kitten, then the backend site points to, say, Aukey is awesome image.

The odd thing in this example was it rehosted Anker’s existing hosted image. Suspect a replatform changed something (S3 bucket type looks likely).

Who on earth is Aukey?.. a new member here

[Chiquinho]

Who is “Aukey”? A special friend from “Daukey” .

Summary

I suddenly understand your [alls] cavalier disregard🤥. It certainly seems to be, how did you put it professor, less than equally unfair.

Kinda makes me wonder how we’re nigh 60 posts in and instead of sharing knowledge I’ve gotten tut tut condescension. No community from gatekeepers, unless you’re gatekeepers
