I don't understand what is going on.

Okay, you got me confused, how did you make this post?

hmmm. vewy intewesting indeed......  

I can see this one   

I can't see any of teh above comments.  Freaky, no?
 

Ah, what?  

we were never here * flashes his MIB memory eraser*

I look at the whole world and often say that...

The same way I made the one that resulted in the removal message immediately upon submission.

I don't know what happened with the forum software, but I suspect the form-processor software was grumpy about the first three letters of my surname. Unfortunately, since it did not tell me specifically why my contact form submissions were both rejected (it provided a list of six possibilities) and I do not know how to reach an actual person at Stardock, I may never know.

Nah, never!! Last I heard, Stardock had no particular issue with 'sex'

Brian this being he weekend contracting someone from Stardock is somewhat difficult. So what you are saying is that when you tried to established your nick name for signing in is when you ran into the problem?

To contact Stardock drop an email to Support@Stardock.com. You can do it over the weekend but you won't get any response until Monday.

Il say .. Zub wanted all my pizza last time ..

I guess that all depends on what you're contracting them for.....

Most Stardockians I talk to love sex. 
However . . and I'm not sure of this . . I don't think you can contract for that.
If you wanted to, you would be best served to contact Stardock Design.  They'd be the best fit.

Brian, email support@stardock.com if the problem continues.

If this is the Brian Sexton from PMGA, drop Daiwa a private message sometime.

maby the forum is closed

Email us directly at suppor@stardock.com. We will help as best we can. If you still can't get through PM me.

I think what you are describing is solicitation......some countries do have laws against that. Come to New Zealand! Prostitution is legal!  .You can contract yourself out as much as you want as long as you are over sixteen.

I was just submitting bug reports, so it didn't matter to me when they got around to reading them. It did matter to me that my messages were rejected with unhelpful rejection messages that did not quote the messages I entered into the form, preventing me from both working around the rejection according to the six supposed possibilities and submitting the information via other means, needlessly wasting quite a bit of time.

I just sent a message to support@stardock.com and I have not yet received a rejection message, but it doesn't much matter now because I do not remember everything I wrote a little over two weeks ago and I am not inclined to reinstall and test problematic software just to rewrite bug reports. The problems themselves and the exceptionally poor contact form handling (my first would-be contact with Stardock, twice thwarted in unhelpful and rudely time-wasting fashion) were enough to convince me that I should probably let Galactic Civilizations II - Gold Edition be the extent of my Stardock purchases for now and hold off on buying any of the Object Desktop stuff that gave me trouble (e.g., the virtual desktops application looks handy, but it does not work on my Windows Vista system at all).

Of course, that Stardock e-mail address doesn't do any good when writing to it results in messages like this:

You Stardock people are incredibly frustrating. If it isn't problematic desktop environment software, it is a game that does not work as advertised thanks to a disappearing turn button and a sleazy policy of not providing updates to make that game work as advertised except after invading the user's privacy through mandatory personal registration and hassling the user by requiring a bloated, cluttered external application that demands not only that personal information, but the serial number, tying the two together rather than relying merely one or the other for authentication. Then on top of that, you reject support form messages and e-mails without so much as a description of the actual reason, requiring the user to guess the real reason from a list of six vague possible reasons.

Annoying customers is common in the computer game business, but you Stardock people bring it to a whole new level. Bugs happen by accident and I can overlook them and enjoy a game if major bugs are patched promptly and without hassle, but Stardock has chosen to not do that and that is just inexcusably terrible customer service.

Try a private message to Seabass as he suggested. Probably get better results than ranting here. Assuming you want results.
