Now we are being lied to. What security scan rearranges UI elements? What security
scan causes the site to be up, then down, then up again.

Shame on you BrickLink, we already know you do not respect sellers, now you just
lie to us.

Maybe consider that they took the opportunity of the site's being down for
maintenance to fix it?

I did, and if that is true, why was it not brought up? Now is the time for full
transparency, not more of business as usual.

Really? and it was nothing to do with a completely unnecessary feature that was
installed at the busiest time of the year?

There’s two things:
— the security scan that was routine,
— the down time that was unscheduled.

“Today we experienced an unscheduled feet hurt due to a routine walk on LEGO
parts.”

Because it is a lie and they do not have a good PR person to spin this and think
it through. So dung like this comes out.

Do you have evidence that BrickLink is lying? Or, are you imagining that they
are lying and stating your assumptions as fact?

It can't be both.

That would indicate a complete lack of real evidence. In other words, imaginary.

Thanks for a textbook example.

I guess that the scan was scheduled and routine,
but the results of the scan might not have been...

Tanja is a real person.  You don’t have to take my word on it: you can see her

Now that you know that (you already knew Russell is a real person), I’ll remind
you of section 16.1 of the ToS that you agreed to.

I had not watched that presentation, but I will take your word for it. Surely
you can understand my confusion, though, when people post forum messages attributed
to other multiple other people/teams.

  Now that you know that (you already knew Russell is a real person), I’ll remind
you of section 16.1 of the ToS that you agreed to.

That section states: "Be respectful of others. We don't want to discourage
banter or healthy debate. However, hostile or insulting messages aimed at other
users, BrickLink, or its employees are not acceptable."

I can certainly see how my message might be considered insulting and I apologize
to Tanja for questioning if she was real.

I can certainly see how my message might be considered insulting and I apologize

If this is how BL management, admins, and moderators are going to interpret 16.1
of the TOS, then the forum is in trouble as this will have a chilling effect
and do exactly what the section claims to not want to do "We don't want to
discourage banter or healthy debate."

If Bricklink, the admins, and moderators can not see that the community feel
there is a problem with communication from Bricklink, then there may be no saving
BL.

I do not feel like anything Robert said was hostile or insulting at all. If
I was hired as community engagement and had done very little community engagement
here in the forum, I would not be offended if any of you asked if I was real.

Therefore, I feel it is perfectly reasonable to ask if she is real or a pseudonym
for another overworked employee since there has been very little community
engagement from her here in the forum. (As of this post, 34 posts on 14 different
subject in the forum or about 3 a month, and just over 1 subject a month!)

BTW, what happened with the marketplace panels that were going to meet annually,
but that has not happened as far as I know, last meeting was May 2021! Yet another
fizzled idea.

I could go on, but it is probably best to stop here.

  Dear all,

Today we experienced unscheduled down time due to a routine security scan. We
apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Everything is back to normal but please let us know if you are still experiencing
any issues.



Too bad that the cartoon guy is not around any more. Or is he actually?
