I thought I would share this here. Rogers seems to have ordered their Community Forum moderators into "purge the history" mode - they're actually going back through over 160 pages of posts editing the term Navikrap to Navigatr. Anyway, I noticed from one of my posts last night that they have updated their nanny forum software to now automatically turn krap into . (and Navikrap into Navi. ) - and that early this morning one of the moderators re-edited my changing it back to "Navik*r*a*p" into "Navigatr". They also banned forum member krap for two weeks (I believe he's the inventive chap to coined the term Navikrap), so I decided to send the following PM:

RogersPrasana, RogersDarrell,
Seriously ?
Rogers apparently can't afford to hire enough competent programmers to fix the krap (sorry, that will be automatically edited by the newly updated nanny forum software to . so I meant k*r*a*p) yet your ostrich upper management can afford to order the moderators to spend time trolling back through 160 pages of anger from their customers to alter Navik*r*a*p (a term that has been acceptable for months is now suddenly banished) back to Navigatr? Talk about a company that doesn't have its priorities straight. More concerned about appearances (as is evident from the lipstick on a pig Navigatr) than content (fixing RTN bugs we've been forced to put up with for over 3.5 years now with repeated unfulfilled promises that the next release will "fix everything"). When we complain about the k*r*a*p it's the lousy code we want removed, not the letters k*r*a*p from Navik*r*a*p.
Note that this isn't intended as an insult, I'm trying to pay you guys a compliment when I say that a group who pays such attention to fine detail, almost to the point of being obsessive-compulsive (a trait that can be very useful when programming) should be taught how to program and moved to the RTN/Navigatr coding team. We'd probably see this mess cleaned up in a month or two.
In the meantime this latest misdirected time and expense from an invisible upper management that is in total denial gives me just one more thing to raise at the annual shareholders general meeting in April. Banning the term doesn't mean the code contains any less excrement. This seems like a childish reaction from upper management over the latest public airing of Rogers dirty laundry by Ellen Roseman in the Toronto Star. Proof that ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.
