TechniSol: Who are you talking to? As far as I know, none of the participants in this thread are from Kobo. We are not the people who can do any of the things you're suggesting. We are regular, unpaid people who like to spend some of our free time helping other Kobo users use their device, whether their problems are of their own making, through misunderstanding, or through issues with bugs.

The key point is this: that constant content-free repetitive whinging is "driving regulars who come here and like to help others solve their problems away from this forum." The more constant content-free repetitive whinging there is (CCRW: we need a better acronym) there is, the less likely it is that people having solvable problems will get help and be able to get on with reading.

If you're someone who's engaging in CCRW, then it's about you. If you're not, then it isn't. As you yourself said, "negativity for the sake of negativity is a bad thing". That is exactly what this thread is about.
