i still say a simple message at the top of the forum would be perfect, not at all over teh top, its a simple quick way to stop spaming, flaming and respected forum members from embarassing them selves

The simple answer is NO

You are a beta tester and you knew when you signed up for the job that such things would come. Beta testing isnt a joke but a responsiblity for the selected few.

You have to live with it and just ignore all such emails, pm's or any other messages

that makes absolutly no sence, why make new members thing that have a chance, and open a thread, why not just tell them off the bat?

I did take the responsability, and still am while answering the 20ish emails I get for the beta, but that doesn't mean I or other members enjoy to see 20 threads filling up the forums asking for a beta..

By the way.. I might not have your experiment as a beta tester or as a long time member, but know that I take beta-testing very seriously.. I feel kind of offended to see the words "beta testing isn't a joke" adressed to me..

To be quite honest I have been answering these PMs and E-mails by a copy paste message saying that no beta-tester can share it and that the best option if they wanted plus was to downgrade.

Now why do I answer these messages? Inverse the situation.. if I was the person searching for the program, I would at least want to know what is going on..

-------------------

I'm not trying to start a war here.. and I don't get why J.A. seems a little offended to have responded with a bolded NO..

I just thought it would be simpler for everyone if the people joining to get the beta would know without having to create numerous useless threads..

I believe this has been shown in the MP! Webchat.. Saying that it will not be released until WLM is..

Anyways I'm sorry if I upset anyone.. If this is going to create problems well may an admin/mod lock this thread? This was simply meant to try and reduce the number of threads created.. not to get on eachother's nerves..

I didnt mean it that way either lp
I wanted to set an example for all the new users for they should know what being in a beta means. microsoft had made wlm a joke pretty much with their invite system People were going crazy without realising what it is

Anyways sticking to a style point, that note would make the site look aweful

Well, I dont want to interupt your Lovers Quarel here (I thought about splitting it, but Honestly I didnt see a good point to it).

The long and the short of it is No.

Report threads requesting the beta, Dont bother replying. If you get e-mails about it, Just delete them.
