I don't really care that I didn't get them, I care more about the fact that it feels like I never had a chance to get them. And I am probably not the only one and so I feel for them too. I could care less if I manage to claim them first or not as long as I atleast have a chance. I never once saw this thread on the first page. I will note that It is not just about the codes here today, no these feelings have been brewing for a while. Cause it's always the same thing here, or so it feels like.
I guess that's what social media does better, because they share it very clearly. There's no way to not see it unless you don't go onto the media. But yeah, I never saw this anywhere on the first page although It's probably because I still have issues with the layout of the page.
Having the codes hidden is fine and all, just- make it visible. Not the code, but the thread. Make it so that people actually can see if there's a code. Or just don't have a code at all if you're not willing to give people who don't know this site inside and out a chance too. Because it is unfair. And unfair belongs in the real world. I'd rather not have it everywhere.
Also I will say that I actually am genuinely hurt by that moss person saying that.
You don't know how hard it is to live with that issue, so don't go passively calling people dumb if they don't do that, because not everybody can get themselves to do that because of an issue.
"I'm sorry that you think I have an attitude" with everything that followed is having an attitude, let alone italicising words for emphasis and the sarcasm that clearly comes throughLaboratory wrote:

Ohh, so you coming in here with a bad attitude and then claiming we "only" help those who understand the hints is supposed to be nicer? Let me quote you: no. We might be team members but we have no obligation to be nice to someone who hits the forum with an attitude like that. Code hunts aren't for everyone, and they're meant to be more difficult than just copy-pasting a code. They do require quite a bit of knowledge of VP and how the site works, as codes will always be hidden around the site, or in SMT's case: on the site's social media pages. We got a lot of feedback this time around saying the code hunt was easy and the hints were easy to understand, so I'm sorry you didn't get them, but obviously two people can't please everyone. As for making the thread more visible, it was present on the front page from the moment we activated it until the codes were maxed, so it was literally right there. Not much more we can do then, if people aren't active and browsing the site.Not everybody are able to get themselves to ask questions, for me- it happens to be extremely difficult, like I would rather let myself die than to ask for help. so you saying "smart enough" is actually really inconsiderate and honestly pretty mean, as it has nothing to do with how smart you are because the response would anyways just still be generic.
