After 3 weeks... Is CSC slowing down again?

[pachacuti 154]

several posts removed.

1 - do not post contents of messages between moderation and members anywhere in the forums.

2 - do not repost or offer to share with anyone on this site the files that TylerDurden earlier posted. the files were removed amid privacy concerns. do not circumvent earlier moderation action.

Am I to understand that you also take issue with me making the data available for manipulation, after having scrubbed ALL potentially confidential information. There will only be dates, actions and case types. Individual cases will be represented by a number that is only meaningful to my database and nothing more. I cannot see how this is an issue in any way. Feel free to express your opinion if you see it otherwise, but please point out what specific harm you feel may be done.

So does this mean that it would be alright, to post this data, as long as actual receipt numbers are removed and/or masked?

it means do not post it period.

you have been given moderation direction. do not post it in any way, shape, form, or fashion.

If this is the case, moderation is being completely unreasonable. A sad day for VJ.

Sorry for the double post.

From what I can make out of this situation the moderators are probably just being as careful as possible since they can not verify the source, content and method used to collect the data. There are all types of potential pot holes and they don't wish to risk the site being cought up in things they may not completely understand. The data seems to be the key concern and not us wanting answers and change by USCIS. I haven't seen any objection to the core idea that folks should stand up for themselves and peacefully protest the government when there are frustrating issues like this.

I think a reasonable compromise that addresses both sides and concerns is that data not be posted here. If it is available at another source or if members have it themselves then that is beyond this site, and at the liability of individual people to decide how to proceed and work with the data. If there are aggegate results pulled from the data then that may be something reasonable to post back here. I suspect that VJ would be more than willing to act as a 'news' source and 'report' on what people are finding.

We all know how to find the member in question on other locations so this again seems like a reasonable approach.

For what is is worth, VJ was founded on bringing awareness of issues like this to the (then) INS and peacefully pushing to create change. Note these two links showing peaceful protests by members of this site at the Texas USCIS Service Center. The VJ Community was able to get their attention and break the log jam within 3 weeks using this peaceful method since it raised the public awareness to TV and Radio by making this a "personal" issue. Regular members on VJ discussed this on the site, coordinated and all met in Dallas to raise awareness and force USCIS to know US citizens were upset and not going to do nothing when they were apart from their loved ones.

Thanks Captain Ewok. May I PM you with my website that allows manipulation of the data to get your opinion of whether I may post a link to it here on VJ? I will be working on it this weekend so should have something by Monday.

I do not want to act against the wishes of VJ, but I still believe that this information is potentially useful to those of us still waiting (as well as interesting to those who are simply curious to see what this data might be able to tell them).

Let me know here on this thread or PM'ed to me directly. Thanks.

A sign complaining about 100 days? That's so quaint...

Yeah. I am 162 today and that is nothing compared to what I have seen most of my buddies here on VJ go through.

I respect VJ decision, this is their website, I suggest that we can open a blog page using Blogger, and post all the videos and TylerDurden's and his group data there, they did a very good job and we all will benefit from it.

While I respect their decision (and admins can attest that I am trying to act in accordance with their wishes), I reserve the right to disagree and express that disagreement. I have reviewed the terms of service and personally do not see which of these terms was violated. I assume that the mods and I differ on our interpretation of one or more of these terms. I humbly admit that I am not a lawyer, but a mere web dev

I agree with you.

but since i/we don't own this site, so we will just respect their decision. but I myself would not want to be blinded about what is going on with USCIS specifically in CSC, so I would still get in touch with Tyler but outside of here...

I am also proud of you.

Yep, disappointed that the "head in the sand/government a$$ kissers" got it their way, but it is their site and I can see where they don't want controversy on their site.
