As mentioned earlier, I’ve got congratulated on becoming a designated expert on 2 sections: http://blog.ciuly.com/?p=817
Today, they did it again. For the same 2 sections 🙂
time for another email to their support (the first time I didn’t mail them, I was hoping it was a one time slip).
Well, well, well. So I got a few emails today from Experts-Exchange (other than the usual, hey, look, a new question. I filter those to the trash auto-magically; Also, I emailed them about the issue and asked them to do something so I wont’ get notifications. To no avail.). For those who don’t know, my account was suspended there quite some years ago, and is still suspended.
So, first email looks like this:
Congratulations ciuly!

The second email is almost identical, but for the “Delphi IDE” section.
Now isn’t that funny? They kicked me out and now they want me to help them a bit. So I go to Account Settings, thinking maybe they un-suspended my account. Really? Keep dreaming.
Ok, so I expect to receive some question notifications as a designated expert. A new trash filter should take care of those.
So next 2 emails. Now these are the topping.
Congratulations, ciuly!

Too bad I can’t redeem them because, hey, my account is still suspended. I had some other t-shirts and stuff wasted because of this same problem with account suspension, so I don’t cry over them.
But I can’t stop laughing. certification for 0 points? Damn I’m good.
