How are Apple Support Communities threads monitored?

While most threads seem to be about  solving problems, or discussions on using products etc, I recently say two threads disappear, probably because the original posters were ranting, being overtly critical of Apple, and insulting other community members without reason. The threads really had no value at all.
Do Apple employees actively monitor these threads? Or is it only after someone reports an abuse, or as you level up do you get special priveledges to boot people. XD

"Do Apple employees actively monitor these threads? Or is it only after someone reports an abuse, or as you level up do you get special priveledges to boot people."
It's a combination of both. Upper level users can report abuse on any observed topic or poster in a topic. There are also moderators who monitor the forums. They are Apple employees.

  • How to Prevent Apple Support Communities from Sending Me Emails?

    Hi,
    How I can I prevent the Apple Support Communities website / tool from sending me emails?
    I have disabled all emails in my profile settings (since about six months):
    Still,  Apple Support Communities keep sending me emails in increasing frequency:
    (It is the same account / username / email, I have triple checked that.)
    What options other than marking Apple as as spammer do I have left?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Thank you – that (hopefully) resolves the issue!
    Note, that I came to Edit Preferences not through my Profile, but through the link in the "update emails" itself.
    The link in the emails (see screeshot) reads: You are receiving this email from Apple Support Communities. You can change your email preferences in your Apple Support Communities Profile.
    And the link leads to the "Edit Preferences" page (the "Manage Email Notifications" page is not visible / linked from "Edit Preferences")
    According to common "unsubscribe" practices in emails, I would expect that an "unsubscribe"-type of link leads me to a page where I can unsubscribe from the type of email I just received (and not unsusbcribe from 'additional potential future' emails or whatever you would call it in that case).
    Hence, this "unsubscribe" link in the email should either go to the Profile page, or the Manage Email Notifications (where I can actualy unsusbcribe), NOT to Edit Preferences.
    Hope, someone from Apple reads the above...
    ( Personally, I think the idea to split between past and future threads is a bad design in the first place )

  • How to unactive recive email of apple support communities

    how to unactive recive email of apple support communities ?

    There are instructions on this page on how to stop them from individual threads :
    https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/email.html
    If you are getting them from a forum as a whole (as opposed to just individual threads), then towards the top right of that forum page make sure that it says 'receive email notifications' in the Actions box :
    If it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it so as to stop them

  • How to turn off receiving apple support communities emails

    how to turn off receiving apple support communities emails on imac and ipad?

    In addition ,you can  go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
    Also check the tutorial for managing email subscriptions
    You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake. 
    Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question.  Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community.  Probably the community  where you asked your question.  Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.

  • How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

    How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

    It is possible he was incorrect.
    > When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
    Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
    Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
    I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
    For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
    I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
    > In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.
    >
    > You don't have to move to a new company to have new software or a new system.
    >
    > How many million participants does StackOverflow have? Size matters.
    How many million participants have these forums?
    At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
    > Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
    I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
    In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
    Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

  • How do I stop emails from apple support communities

    almost a year ago I turned to apple support communities for a Q. Now a year later long after the problem has since been resolved, I am still getting very annoying updates.  I have tried logging in and changing my preferences, but that did not stop the emails.  I tried bouncing them back...didn't work.  I tried turning to apple "contact us"  but that is not easy without coming here first...Now I fear I may be just starting a new list of emails, but here we go...STOP EMAILING ME!

    The Email preferences are not the problem, they only control what will happen they have no affect on what is happening now.
    You can identify the source of the email,  the community or thread, in the email. Go to that thread or community and turn off the email notification from there.
    If you can'tt identify the particular thread or community from the email follow the instructions in the link King_Penguin posted.

  • How is it possible to change my Apple Support Communities email?

    As of today (Octobor 2011) I've started receiving lots of emails from Apple Support Community. Normally I'd direct such mail to my Gmail a/c, but my Apple a/c is associated with my business address.
    It doesn't seem that Apple Support Communities offers a way to supply a preferred email for forum notifications (I've clicked through the various profile forms available).
    Similar questions - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16523661 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16515796, https://discussions.apple.com/message/15288686, oh look there's a big list to the right too. Hmm.
    How do we change the email that ASC will send to?

    Thanks, that fixed it for me. (I'd click "Correct Answer", but it disappeared when I clicked "Helpful Answer". That's a whole other UI discussion!)
    I think it's unfortunate that the forum mails are tied to the Apple ID, but I was delighted to find that in this case I had two Apple IDs (an ancient one from the launch of .Mac, and one I've used for iTunes purchases), so I wasn't required to set the same email for iTunes signin and forum emails.
    Systems which predicate identity on a single email account are not well designed for an environment where the bulk of email users suffer email fatigue and many mitigate the same through multiple email accounts.

  • How do I unsubscribe from the Apple Support Communities?

    Please advise me on how to unsubscribe from the  Apple Support Communities.

    Click here and turn off the email notifications. If you don't want them all turned off, go to each of the areas you want to unfollow and click the Following button at the top right corner; if you're running ad-blocking software, you may need to temporarily disable it.

  • Dear apple support communities, how can i fix this problem?  /users/ocha/.bashrc/bin:??

    dear apple support communities, how can i fix this problem?
      /users/ocha/.bashrc/bin:??
    i have change the directory after i install GMT 5
    but i was wrong and that are the result,.
    please help me

    or could you please tell me how to see if i have a back up? and how i can restore it?
    If you do not know whether you have a backup or not, then you DO NOT have a backup.  I'm assuming you have not been running Time Machine, nor any other backup utility.
    and then i dont know what to write to get me into the right directory
    Shell initialization files (.bash_profile, .bashrc, etc...) go in your home folder.  The environment variable $HOME contains the path to your home folder.  The commands I gave you will edit the file in the correct directory.
    but i'm still new
    Everyone has to start somewhere.
    To give any editing advice, we need to know what you "REALLY" want to accomplish, especially if you have little or no command line knowledge.
    Why are you in the Terminal in the first place?
    Why are you trying to edit .bash_profile and/or .bashrc?
    What do you hope to accomplish when everything is done?
    If you are following someone else's instructions, what are they?  Post them here, or give a simple pointer (and by simple, I mean we are volunteers, so we do not want to spend hours digging in some web site to find the instructions, so make our job easy, so we can make it easy for you).

  • How to reset your user name on apple support communities?

    If your dont remember your user name in the  Apple Support Communities, how can you reset it?

    Do you mean the ID you use as a login, rather than the name which appears here ('nunski')? Do you know what you last used to log in here? If not, go to Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access and see if it is listed under 'discussions.apple.com'
    Since it's difficult to stay logged in here for any length of time, you must presumably have logged in in the not too distant past?
    If Keychain doesn't help, go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find Your Apple ID'.

    You can't uncheck it. You'll need to post the question again.
    You could also just add the comment that it was not actually answered.
