A: Why doesn't my tested internet speed match my actual?

Can someone reign in ramhound? He's really scaring away new users and that's not good for the community. Comments like teh following scare people away..

Please provide your system specifications. Please provide your drivers information. Please provide information on what drivers were loaded when you experienced the crash. The link files can stay but the question should be still helpful to the community even if they disappear in the future. I simply cannot justify spending the time helping, when I know what will happen to the information in the future, just not worth the time to be honest hence this small request. — Ramhound 4 mins ago

speedtest = max speed torrents = seeds = the speed they can offer .. Lets say you and me share something trough a torrent .. I give you 50Kb download speed .. Your 30Mbit doesn't have a use now since you only get 50Kb Makes sense no?

Look, i get that he's pointing out rules that are broken, but he's doing in a very condescending way.

@Arthur This is an ongoing issue. I've told Ramhound to "please be nice" multiple times in comments but consistently fails to recognize that his comments can be "bossy" and condescending.

@Arthur We'll look into it!

@Ramhound: I'm getting escalating complaints about your conduct towards new users. Please be nice, especially towards new users. See chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/19555354#19555354 — DragonLord 58 secs ago

Thanks guys :)

@Ramhound: I'm getting escalating complaints about your conduct towards new users. Please be nice and treat others gently, especially towards new users. Your comments have consistently been "bossy" and are liable to scaring other users away. See chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/19555354#19555354 — DragonLord 3 mins ago

@Ramhound: Look at how the OP responded to your (now deleted) comments. Is this the sort of reaction we want to see from newcomers? — DragonLord Dec 12 '14 at 20:19

@Ramhound: I think you need to read the code of conduct. I've noticed you have a rather unfriendly tone towards a lot of OPs. Besides, "what have you tried?" is not really a constructive comment and can be seen as rude; instead, provide examples for the OP of what to try. — DragonLord Dec 12 '14 at 19:26

@Arthur This comment is also uncalled for; Ramhound was following protocol, and explained politely what to use comments for.

@Ramhound: The wording in your last comment is not very nice. "...does not even begin to answer the question" is very strong wording and not constructive. — DragonLord 4 mins ago

@Ramhound: Your recent conduct towards new users is unacceptable. I suspect slhck may already have given you a moderator warning. If this is the case and you continue to make unconstructive and rude comments, you risk getting your account suspended. — DragonLord 1 min ago

I disagree @CanadianLuke. Ramhound has caused considerable frustration with new users. At some point someone has to say something, espically when someone tries to prop themselves up by putting down others.

I'll delete that comment, but the moderators really should react stronger to scrcastic, snide and rude comments about "not following the rules"

@Arthur I fail to see it that way. I see it as a "matter of fact" style comment, not something sarcastic or rude.

"does not even being to answer the question" has a negative tone.

It also offers no constructive criticism.

It someone treated me that way, on my first answer - I would leave.

For the record, I've never had a problem with anyone on this site other then Ramhound. And I'm not alone in this.

@Arthur I can't remember a single time you have attempted to ask me what I have said.

Whats all the hub bub? sheesh :)

@CarlB There's an ongoing conflict regarding Ramhound's comments.

Read the chat log for details.

I can see that from the coments section....yikes!

You mean ask you to clarify?

sorry @Ramhound you mean ask you to clarify?

@ramhound Actually, I'm not even getting into this. You and the mods know what I think of your comments. Lets move on.

Ramhound

@Arthur - I don't know to be honest. I wanted to let you know I saw your comment.

Lets clear something up. I am not a moderator, DL isn't a moderator, and I am aware of where the line from comments from the moderators.

I should clarify. * Where the line is exactly, by the moderators telling me, what the line is

But I agree; Lets move on;

The only Super User mod involved as far as I can tell is @slhck

@Mokubai, we have a private chat room about this dispute, please come in.

Okay, fair enough.

For the record, I know you are trying to help, and there has been a lot of knee-jerking going on. So for that, I apoligize.

10:35 PM

Hope everyone can work this out.

@CarlB I think this has already been resolved honestly.

Cool...

I know sometimes I have to step back and re-read stuff as it can be taken in several ways.

Intent is hard with text.

Alright guys, we're getting it dealt with, let's leave it at that, alright? Let's clear this room up for mod issues that need their attention, a'ight?

Right

Right :)
