| Stick with it, it’s a great place but does have many people with strong views
which they like to express, no reference to who you are responding to, just a
general comment.
I’ve always been against the changes as I like as much detail as possible in
anything I do.
Expressed early on that nothing said would change much if anything so I’ve left
everyone to it.
Don’t let it put you off BL, despite some attitudes, decisions, members etc it
is still a great site.

Buuuut . . . how clear is it really? Is your bias toward approval of the decision
causing you to make mildly outrageous and clearly unsupported claims, perhaps
augmented by your surprise at being significantly in the minority?

You joined this website 11 years after me, yet you have nearly 10 times the feedback
I do. Does your higher level of feedback mean that your opinion is more meaningful
than mine?
Member SylvainLS, who is affiliated with the website itself as a forum moderator,
has a feedback score of merely 46, even though he joined in 2014. Another person
affiliated with the site as a catalog expert (Turez) has an even lower feedback
score of only 43 and he joined the site two years earlier in 2012.
Therefore, I can only assume you must be referring to really low feedback
scores. In fact, I have decided to assume you mean scores of 10 or fewer feedback.
I went through the entire list of replies to the main post and there were only
11 members with such a low feedback score (see analysis below).
So these are the 11 accounts you are accusing of being duplicates and asking
site administration to investigate, correct?

I am one of the 11 accounts you mentioned...and I will put this into the forum
to make things clear...
I am relatively new to Bricklink, as I have said before. This account is even
newer, which I have also said before, and which I have also explained why already
(in short, the old one wasn't really mine).
What I don't understand is that whoever started this thread seems to not
realize the fact that you can be a Lego fan and not be on Bricklink. (But when
a hardcore Lego fan joins a place like Bricklink, they want things to be as detailed
as possible. Does the majority want the detail or even care? I am not asking
that again.)I am just pointing out the fact there is more than enough viable
reasons for people like me to be on the forum, voicing their opinion.
And these people may care for various reasons. Why did I argue against the variant
merge? Not because I collect old stuff, but because I saw some of the changes
as unnecessary happenstances. I saw it as a change that would annoy and frustrate
a small percentage of the population, and not benefit the majority enough to
be worth changing what was in place.
I've watched the forum since the argument, and now read through most of the
stuff that goes on here. Obviously, however, I should not be doing this, since
new faces (that really care about Lego!) are not accepted on this apparently
elitist website...
