World Transfers

[maartena]

Maartena,




I am glad they have their weekends off, and guess what, I am in a job that doesn't get every weekend off. How special! I have NEVER suggested they lose days off. What I am saying it wouldn't hurt to keep the public updated. Before today. VyVyanne's last post was Thursday and it didn't detail a bloody thing.

If they knew that transfers would not be up on Friday (thus the weekend as well) it would have taken, what.. 10 seconds of their time to post such a statement! I am sure that wouldn't hurt their weekend leisure time!

What I am suggesting is on last Friday, Vyvyanne to post something like the following:

"Because of the recent login issues which we are still monitoring, we are going to keep the transfers turned off today and through the weekend. We will revaluate the situation on Monday and I will post a new update then. Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for your patience."

This would have avoided a lot of confusion on last Friday and other issues as well.

This is am that I am asking for, which in no way would have impeded into their weekend, Maartena. IT took me like 10 seconds to type that out. I don't see how that could have impacted their weekends too much or their leisure time that you are are so concerned about.

What makes you think you are entitled to daily updates? If nothing has changed since Thursday, do they really need to post about it every day?

Vyvyanne posted this on Thursday:

"Due to the issues we have been seeing over the last couple days with logins, we have decided to turn the new transfer service off for the time being so that we can focus on correcting those issues before bringing the service back online and not risk errors.

We apologize for the delay and are doing all we can to remedy the situation ASAP."

What is so unclear about that? They turned off updates for the time being. They are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. If there was nothing more to update, why do they need to repeat themselves on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday? The message above was crystal clear, and was followed up on today, Monday.

Do you really need the English sentence "for the time being" explained in better detail?

Well just in case English isn't your first language (it is not my first language either), here is a definition:

for the time being
phrase of time
1.
for the present; until some other arrangement is made.

Until some other arrangement is made. That tells everyone that speaks some level of English that transfers have been halted, and they won't be coming back up until the issues listed above are fixed. And that is all you need to know. You don't need to have your hand held every day with updates that confirm that, yes, the same statement issued on Thursday.... is still true, and you can sleep safely without being worried.

It probably took Vyvyanne 10 seconds to type that out on Thursday. But she really didn't need to type it again on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, for there were NO NEW UPDATES, and "for the time being" still was the right English definition for the announcement made.
