Description
Could you please sync up my drupal.org account (emackn) with my g.d.o account, (not sure username, maybe emackn@drupal). Used to work fine. Not sure when it stopped working.
Thanks.

@emackn: You aren't the only one with a broken account. I came into this late, after others have been working on it for weeks and I still spent 3.5 hours slogging through only 3 pages worth of sync requests last night. This is a very time consuming task that is still ongoing. Given what the others working on this must have been dealing with all this time, I'm not surprised this issue with its attitude problem was ignored.

You think that's funny? Wow... Makes me wish I hadn't fixed your account. Some of the attitudes around here just really make me sick.

I thought "I'm not surprised this issue with its attitude problem was ignored." was funny. I'm sorry sarcastic humor makes you sick, but after dealing with the issue for a week and a half I think I'm entitled to bitch about it. Especially when I followed all the directions for fixing it, was on IRC looking for help, and combed the forums looking for something "I didn't do right". Don't get mad at people because there is a break down in communication on the d.o and g.d.o about how to fix the issue, fix the break down. From what I found, the only way to get the accounts sync'd up again was to complain about it.
But regardless,
Thank you for fixing my account. I apologize for being snarky and sarcastic.
Eric. ;)

Your account getting fixed had nothing to do with complaining; I didn't even see this issue until afterwards. Yours, along with people who had been waiting over a month, were fixed as people slogged through the backlog. When I tell you how much work people have been dealing with to do this and all you do is come back and laugh at us, yeah, I get a little pissy.
Anyway, it's fixed and done. Maybe next time there's a problem, just consider that you might not be the only one with the problem and try to imagine volunteers busting their butts to fix thousands of them and how they might feel about your snarky comments.

I don't necessarily agree with emackn's methods Michelle, but certainly with the sentiment. For those unfortunate enough to have problems with this, this whole process has been a real shambles. So many responses to the issue were simply 'fill in the sync request form' and 'stop putting bad data in the sync request form' and the like, while people patiently waited for the results of the sync request to no avail. Some sort of response to explain why it was so slow would have helped, as would a progress report here or there.
To suggest that after a supposed upgrade to the system that, through no fault of our own, has broken our groups login and that after receiving some less than great responses to our attempts to solve it through the right channels that when we get a bit grumpy we should probably have just been ignored anyway is almost as bad a position to take as those you're attempting to chastise.
Saying all of that, thanks for the hard work in trying to get the problem solved anyway.

To be clear, I was never suggesting the problem be ignored. I was saying that I wasn't surprised this issue was ignored. There was a procedure to follow and people were doing their best to get it fixed and filing an issue just to complain and accuse people of goofing off instead of working on it doesn't help any.

Agreed.
