Korean Job Discussion Forums

[diablo3]

Yeah why? People have concerns and wish to express them.

Are the mods themselves Korean and cannot stand listening to the current issues?

If not, then leave us alone or ban us all.

[nomad-ish]

this'll be locked pretty soon too...

[bassexpander]

Because it's starting to scare off teachers, and cost the site income?

Probably because there are 10,000 topics on it already.

Ok then, I hope they do not lock topics after 15 december when we really see the impact of the regs.

Users squawked for us to make a sticky in order to centralize all the new E-2 guideline discussions.

So we did. http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=104249

Now users are squawking that they'd rather have de-centralized discussion on the issue and have multiple threads going on about it.

Quit your moaning and make up your minds.

the difference, i believe, Poktanju, is that many of the threads were absolute crap -- people asking 'what are the guidelines, i'm too lazy to look them up', but locking all threads related to E-2 guidelines is a bit much. recently TheDude locked a thread on why this is the final straw. that thread offered information that wasn't covered in other threads - certainly it could even have been combined with StephannieK's thread on whether the guidelines were driving you out. But please note that 'what are the guidelines', 'why are the guidelines overstepping the bounds', and 'will you leave because of the guidelines' are three entirely separate topics.

As the OP for the thread about why the new E-2 regulations are the last straw for many people, I object to the decision to lock that thread. Although it has gone off-point a few times, many of the comments people have made are very relevant. It hasn't been a repeat of the others. If there's any credibility in that poll that's showing 45% of us are planning to leave Korea and another 12% (or so) are thinking about it, then obviously something has changed for many people, and it is more worthy of discussion than most other topics presently under discussion. I meant for the thread to be different than the others, and so far, it has been. Please unlock it.

I wouldn't be surprised if diablo is banned for a certain period of time or this thread (Why do mods keep locking topics about E2's) is deleted shortly.

[Cliffhanger]

ouch... a bit rough don't you think. I for one would like to thank the mods for unlocking that thread, as I found the discussion interesting and different enough to be continued.
