关于iStripper的一切
November 20, 2016, 12 回复
Check where the poster is coming from (geographically..) and think that maybe their command of English isn't as good as some of the rest of ours is....

The guy who posted the original quote here two times (twice) is from Brazil according to his Bio. Not sure if iStripper caters to the Brazilian version of Portuguese or not... He has one card and is a brand new customer. Don't we want him to buy more cards and be a better customer?

I have noticed quite a few of the posters who's posts seem excessively demanding or very poorly worded and then seemingly disrespectful or whatever are from countries where English isn't the first or primary language.

I travel quite a bit to Spanish speaking countries and have serious and first person experience where mis-stating one word can get you into a whole shitpot full of trouble... When asked what my business in Mexico was at the Cancun airport I said "Bombas" instead of "bombeaos". I was snatched up out of the line by men with guns so fast my head was spinning. Turns out I said "Bombs" in Spanish when I meant "pumps" and got to spend about two hours in customs/immigration lockup because I mis-stated my intentions in their country with one word. They searched all my luggage very carefully and in the end an English speaking customs supervisor was able to clear up my piss-poor Spanish and I was sent on my way. Looking back now it is kinda funny but at the time I had visions of spending years in prison and not really understanding what I had done to get me into the predicament I was in. I can now "speak" Spanish fairly well however trying to write it is a whole 'nother ball-o-wax and would murder it quite viciously were I to try. I for one have learned the hard way that just because I think I know what I am saying, that isn't necessarily what someone else hears or reads....

The moral of the story is that I am fairly sure a majority of the users, who's primary language is Not English or one of the other iStripper supported languages, do not fully understand the various commands and prompts on this program and make some mistakes in their initial "trying to figure it out" poking around. They are trying to participate and ask questions but language differences are making it difficult for them to make themselves understood.

We also need to remember that even as good as this program is, there are still bugs in it which confound even our most experienced users to this day. The blog is full of rants and complaints about this or that thing that doesn't work how someone feels that it should. Imagine how those same bugs are for someone who doesn't have a perfect grasp of the program's written language.

Unfortunately we also have some users on this Forum who are quick to pounce on the poor guy who doesn't speak the language perfectly and flame or ridicule him "for making waves in their pond" seemingly without trying to first understand why the waves were made and then trying to take the time to coax the new user out of their shell and help with what the new guy didn't understand. If I spoke good Portuguese I would try but I don't, so I won't go there and make things worse than they are already.

And yes, I also feel that if you are trying to communicate in a language not your own, that you should take a little extra time to be sure that your thoughts are communicated as you really wish them to be. However for some of us those resources are not as readily available and not up to the job as @91Hebasu found just the other day when he used an online translation service to read someone's post in the "too many installs" section. He got the message but I am sure what the tranlation service printed is NOT exactly what the user meant to say.

I speak English fairly well and still make mistakes that cause mis-understandings in my own language. I personally feel we could do better as a community where welcoming new users, especially ones who obviously don't speak one of the more common European languages are concerned.

Patience fellas... Don't push the "nuke'm" button just because someone says something that "sounds" bad until you verify that that is what they really meant to say... Hopefully our new president will use the same advice during his term and keep us out of a war as I have two military service age sons who I would really like to have outlive me....

My two and third cents worth...
