…get out of the Yuku.
Well I suppose it had to happen eventually. Yes, after 8 days of inactivity despite his role as “Customer Support Lead” at Yuku, ckerr has finally made a post on the Yuku Help [sic] forums.
That would be to provide some customer support then? Er, no. It’s applying the same “shut up and go away” mentality they previously applied to ezboard’s Help [sic] forums. Here’s the policy (as usual for Yuku, click the link, go away and make a coffee and it might have loaded when you get back).
I particularly liked this bit:
“This policy is necessary to ensure that users receive help from fellow Yuku users or Yuku Moderators in a timely manner.”
I agree: it would be an improvement to see Yuku Moderators providing assistance in a timely manner (or at all).
Oh and of interest is this choice of wording for what Yuku is:
“…the Yuku profiling and message board products.”
So there we are. Yuku is officially two separate products with a common name: a replacement for ezboard and a lame attempt to jump on the MySpace bandwagon…

Trackbacks & Pingbacks:
[...] Lots of reports on the Yuku Help [sic] forums – the ones where, post-Yuku “help” policy implementation, you hardly ever see a Yuku employee – from people with disappearing posts, people having to post new threads to bring back hidden ones, etc. [...]
