Just saw some more of that “advanced citizenship” over on reddit - from one of our own forum members:

My current theory is that Knighton married a rich Valley Girl and this allows him to play entrepreneur all day without ever actually producing a product. It’s a hobby company now.

BTW, I’m the one who mentioned this Reddit over on the forum – when the mass lockdown occurred – so the clueless over there would know there’s another place to go.

Most real TREGgers won’t post here; they’ll be afraid of endangering their “good faith” status, being declared in breach of the TREG agreement, and having the poison pills in their beta TBs activated.

So, advanced citizenship includes making up theories about someone’s personal life without providing anything to support the “theory”. And, of course, so what if he did marry a rich woman? Then we have the claim of not producing a product - yet he has the NextEngine product. He’s working on the TB to get it finished. And, finally, just ASSUME he views it as just a hobby. Wow, that’s just he first sentence!

Next, the “mass lockdown”. Don’t know for sure what this refers to - could be some people being reduced to new user. How many makes a “mass”? But even people who got demoted can still post so not exactly a lockdown!

Or maybe it refers to the truly “mass” locking of many threads. Yep, they did a bunch of them. But that is left out is that all but one were already OLD, having the LAST post in them made at least a month before it was locked. You know, INACTIVE threads! They have always closed old threads. So if this is what she is talking about, it’s completely bogus.

So, two sentences down.

Seems she wants me to post over there! Maybe I should - and maybe I will. Be careful that you wish for!

The “good faith” comment makes no sense. We can post about the TB any place we want - and I do. I just, for now, haven’t bothered with reddit. But WT won’t tell me I can’t and it won’t affect me in any way because I’d post the same stuff there as I do here. So would any other tester. It is actually a lie to claim that we’d be declared to be in breach of the TREG agreement since it says we can post anywhere we like. “Advanced citizenship” must be newspeak for lying.

And since it wouldn’t be a breach, nothing will be done to turn off our units.

So, total of 3 sentences and none of them made sense.

Ah, but there isn’t just one “advanced” citizen over there. We also had this today:

I think most TREGers stopped posting there as well, after their obligatory initial impression, which of course will always be good. I’d be curious to know how it fares now after that initial honeymoon’s over, especially now that they found their PCB may fail at any moment. I would think that many would find it disconcerting, pissed even. But none of them are posting anymore. Did they find problems but won’t say because, as you say, they fear endangering ‘good faith’?

Technically the first statement is accurate (though misleading) because “most” treggers never posted on the forums). A good number of treggers from the forums did, but not even all of them. I suppose the number is lower, but why wouldn’t it be? There isn’t much new information like there would be in the early weeks for any new tester.

Then we have the claim that there was an “obligatory initial impression”. What obligation? WT doesn’t require any posting be done, nor do they forbid it. Followed, of course, by the claim that the early ones would “always be good”? Well, they were good, but the question is why? Clearly this advanced citizen wants it to be interpreted as a negative, but the fact is, people really liked it so, gasp, that is what they said.

Then they are curious as to how the testers feel now. Well, they might try reading what they have been saying, long after starting with TREG. And if they had the integrity to do that, they’d know that people are still happy with it. How many testers have you seen coming back recently and saying after their extended experience, they don’t think it is all that great? Can you count them on one finger? Fewer?

Ah, but now we are supposed to be all upset about the PCB problem - even pissed. Anyone seen a tester express anything like that? Me neither. We only wish this problem didn’t come up so others could get their TB. So we just have some frustration, but that’s it.

Then, stunningly, they say the reason those negative reports aren’t coming in is because no tester is posting anymore! So, let’s just say not exactly truthful.

Finally, the natural cop-out to defend their false statements and assumptions - that we are afraid to say anything in public. So, essentially they are accusing every TREG tester who doesn’t say that they want them to say, of being dishonest by omission.

“Advanced citizenship” - it doesn’t mean that you thought it meant.
