| In my opinion, icons that accurately represent functionality are a key part in
having a good interface. It has come to my attention that the icon of the Community
tab is outdated and needs improvement. Briklink has changed alot and the smiley
face simply does not suit a modern Bricklink where a forum is intended for poorly
informing the community of unwanted selfish business decisions only to ignore
the responses.
I've designed a better icon for this tab. Hope to see this implemented soon!

A little while ago when Jaclyn's predecessor was here I got a lifetime ban
from the forum for something similar to this. Fortunately she got the 'move
on out order (P45 in the UK) and Jaclyn re-instated me with full apologies.
Good luck with it.

They wouldn't get that response if they cared to develop even a basic understanding
of the BrickLink community (both buying and selling) and the AFOL community in
general. I can forgive a lot of incompetence if you're at least working
in my interest.
I'd be happy if they could even just pretend to care. But instead we get
silence (which allows rumors and bad info to spread) and when do get a response
they are often times snarky or condescending.

"My interest" is very subjective. The problem is that so many feel the same way
as you do so in that when a change or changes are made and it dose not benefit
what they consider 'their interest' then you get this...

Fair point. I should have said "community interest". I don't fault BrickLink
for wanting to make money--that's why most all of us (sellers, at least)
are here too. But BL is creating an environment that is hostile to the hobby
seller, the new seller, and even most small-to-mid-range sellers. Ultimately
it seems like that would be counterproductive for them but they must think it
is beneficial to them in some way, but I can't see how.
On a slightly different note, I'm no economist, but I thought it was pretty-well
established that economies don't like instability and uncertainty. Continually
introducing unsolicited, ill-conceived, poorly-implemented features does not
create a stable environment that is conducive to growth nor does it instill confidence
in your users. The lack of confidence is only compounded by BrickLink's
continued silence on this latest debacle.
I understand wanting to take some time to craft a carefully-worded statement
(since it will be picked apart in the forum), but how hard is it to simply say,
"we've heard you, give us a little bit, and we'll have a statement for
you"?

I must admit that it is a good representation of how I currently feel.
I see some good things happening, but there is a lot that worries me.
