Something I just stumbled upon.

Well, it's past the point where we can make any changes in the code, but we can still make changes to the Easter Egg!

It must have to do with the community guidelines somehow. Here is what it says in the "Welcome..." posting, as an example:

However it seems he may have been better off using speech recognition software to compose it.

Right here, and if it doesn't seem the right place to do this, you can always hit the German forum that I run:

English spoken, by the way.

The new Nuance forum definitely has the biggest case of over moderating I have ever seen. The forum moderator has edited all 5 of my posts; many of them twice. It seems that you're not allowed to give out personal information or anything that could be construed as commercialism. We are not allowed to post any hyperlinks; even links to items we don't sell, like TeamViewer; that might actually be helpful to the forum membership. I experienced a similar issue on SpeechComputing forum which I no longer participate on but Nuance has clearly kicked it up a notch. I'm currently on the fence and waiting to see what havoc they will perform on my last signature tag but if there are any more edits, it simply won't be worth my time. It's just too hard to give technical support with both hands tied behind my back.

In my opinion, I believe they have shot themselves in the proverbial foot. It's a bit like comparing public broadcasting (Nuance forum) to commercial television (this forum). I can understand why they made their decision but that decision could easily cost them a good deal of qualified support.

Speaking of new forums… The new KnowBrainer Speech Recognition Forum is still on track to go live this Sunday and unlike the Nuance forum, it won't be censored to death and will include every posting currently on this forum. Hopefully, the change will be completely seamless with the link that currently goes to this forum, going to the new forum.

That seems ridiculous regarding the censorship of your product Lunis considering you sell their products.

When you say everything is being transferred over to the new KnowBrainer forums, do you mean all the member profiles, avatars and everything will not have to be redone in anyway by the members?

Had to laugh at GJ and Rüdiger's comments on where to complain :-).

If in doubt, come in here to have a moan :-))

Cheers

Todays Post link) and some of that work won’t be finished until after it goes live this Sunday but we don't think you'll have to join, create a password or make any changes other than perhaps logging in for the 1st time. Your avatar, profile and even posting count, will be preserved. If you visit the new forum, you'll see most of this has already been done. When the new forum goes live this Sunday, you won't even have to create a new bookmark because this forum will simply be switched out. The new forum will hopefully give Nuance a new goal to aim for
