"Thumbs Up Is For The Quality Of The Software ONLY!"

The up/down votes CLEARLY state:

"User Rating: Rate It!"

Which shows that the Thumbs up is to tell others what you think of the software AS A USER.

It is not meant for people to use it because they:

Don't see the relevance of the software to them
think it might be useful/useless
are having a bad day
don't like the colour of the packaging
don't understand what a "User" is
Think that the comments are useless
Or anything else at all.



It is ONLY for People who have TRIED the software who wish to give their feedback on it.


Why Do we have this fight every single day?


I believe that the only way this will be fixed, is if people (ie regular, sensible GAOTD users who want the problems caused by this confusion rectified) start emailing GAOTD Customer Support on a regular basis, even daily, requesting these problems be addressed.

Some time back, I saw one poster with some excellent suggestions, it was so long ago I cannot hope to rememberor find them, but they included ideas like:

Suggested Changes to the Ratings System To Address Current Problems:
Different feedback Thumbs up/down, each for:


Was the interface attractive?
Was the Software easy to use?
Did You Download Today's Offer?
Did it do the job that it was supposed to, properly?
Do you think this software is useful?


Please notice that each question is quite specific, and (hopefully) gives the user no doubt as to what they are voting upon. If I have missed one, please let me know in the comments, and I will add it to the list.

One could only hope that such an implementation by GAOTD would be advantagious to the entire GAOTD community, as it will prevent a lot of comments about "how to use the site" (like this one), less flame wars (people fighting about how stupid someone is for not getting something right)and more feedback on the software (which is what this site is supposed to be about).

Please, if you agree, up-vote this comment, then use this contact form to express your wish for this to be implemented by GAOTD. These types of comments are posted here often, but GAOTD has taken no action, thus they are not listening to them.

If you want to change it, then please contact them and ask them to change it!

I also believe that "If the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught".
Not everyone on this site is as bright, qiuck or onto it as yourself, informed reader. Please do not flame them. it is not their fault, they are only students, and still learning. The fault lays with GAOTD, as their voting system may lead to confusion for newcomers and even regulars, as made clear by some of the comments we read here every day.

Again:


Fix the comments problems.
Stop the flame wars.
Fix the voting system.




TELL GAOTD TO FIX IT, HERE!!
Ask them to

Add different feedback Thumbs up/down, each for:

Was the interface attractive?
Was the Software easy to use?
Did You Download Today's Offer?
Did it do the job that it was supposed to, properly?
Do you think this software is useful?



My next comment further down is about the software.

Right.

The deafault folder it saves to is the Desktop.
Auto capture captures an image every 10 sec (or whatever you configure.)

It should save at least to a sub folder.
There is no hotkey to start or stop the automatic capture feature.
The play button does not warn you that it continues to capture in the background.

It is not particularly clear in the user interface that one button as for single capture and the other is for continuous capture. the icons should be larger and have some kind of text that explains what they are.

The images appear to be highly compressed, which is good because it means they have a very small size, but they are a little bit fuzzy. There does not appear to be any option to adjust the snapshot quality.


The options seem particularly limited after the giveaway of play claw just a couple of days ago.this feels like the first incarnation of a piece of software that someone has developed. I hope that with constructive feedback from the giveaway of the day crew this might become a powerful piece of software.

As for me, I will be uninstalling this, and sticking with play-claw.

I would like to ask who the moderator was
yesterday. Some of my comments have been
rejected in the past without an obvious
reason. The same thing hapent with the one I
submited yesterday, which - I think - was
quite relative to the commentation of the program:

Guys, take a look at what Softpedia says
about this program
(http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Gra
phic/Graphic-Others/Face-Off-Max.shtml):
“Users are advised to pay attention while
installing this ad-suported application:
· Offers to change the homepage for web
browsers installed in the system
· Offers to change the default search engine
for web browsers installed in the system
· Offers to download or install software or
components (Ask Toolbar) that the program
does not require to fully function”
For this reason Softpedia didn’t post the
“clean” award (which gives to the majority
of the programs). Yet, at
http://www.faceoffmax.com/ you can see this
award. What’s going on?

@hotmatrixx (#3) You do know that GOTD implemented a similar voting system to this previously don't you?

If you think a single Yes/No vote confuses some people, then that is nothing when compared to the confusion that a multiple option voting system caused. It was a total disaster and made the current voting system look highly desirable and effective in comparison.

I would also like to add some feedback on the use of the software.

It has then "high autos screenshot make up on capture" feature. It still catches a ghost of the software in the screenshot.

I had to configure the hotkeys twice before they started working, but once they did they were fine.

The software seemed to take a long time to generate the screenshot.

It has an option to automatically open a capture in your preferred program, however it did not do this for me.

Listing the two e-mail option appears to work, however I cannot test it fully as I do not have a default e-mail client. the "open latest capture icon" also works.

Hopefully this helps someone making a decision as to whether the software as for them, or helps the developer to make a better version of it in the future.
