Proposal: GIANT FUCKING BLINKING CANCEL VMP BUTTON WITH LIKE REFLECTORS AND SHIT
18Apparently, the internet is hard. Maybe you should make it eyeball scrapingly easy? I mean, most of the posts that are popping up about canceling VMP seem to be from someone whose mother tongue is not English. Maybe having the cancellation process requiring reading one sentence, the one of two on the Account page, is not the best course of action.

Yeah, it is a bit absurd. They don't even search "Cancel VMP" in the forums before asking.
LOOK WITH YOUR EYES, NOT WITH YOUR MOUTH.
@dis_member How am I supposed to lick with my eyes? If clicking https://mediocre.com/account# was difficult, I can only imagine having to lick something to cancel VMP.
@nadroj You must have an oral fixation ;) I never said anything about licking.
Yes, yes, yes! Wouldn't that be easier than answering every request that comes through?
@pitamuffin the scary thing is...would it even make a difference?
@JonT Only if it's purple.
@JonT Let's try it and find out. It would make a great experiment. And you guys like experiments.
@JonT Jon! You're the reason people make these posts, maybe if you made it clear there is no Meh.com support represntation in the forums, people will stop using it as such.
@er1c Hahaha! I envy your faith in people reading things! By not supporting in the forums, you've still got a problem- people are still going to post regardless.
And maybe a link in the email like:
"Add VMP Expiration to Google Calendar/iCal, because you're old enough to deal with this yourself, ferchrissakes"
And the confirmation message could read "And pick up those socks from the floor. Yeah, we sent them to you, but what are we, your personal maid?"
@editorkid I think somebody needs to apply for a copy writer position with Meh
@editorkid nah it would be "waht are we, yoru mother?"
all this'll teach you to ever offer free vmp again! suckers!
no, really, i died a little when i came to the forum today and saw 3 new cancel vmp threads. it's like the internet has leeched into meh, i thought we were safe :|
Maybe a little Clippy action? When someone tries to post something with "cancel" and "VMP" in it, an animated Glen pops up and says "Hey numbnuts, it looks like you're to cancel your VMP membership. If you want to do that, click this big button here. Otherwise, click the little tiny button way over in the far corner to post your comment."
@mikey "So just click on Tools ... ok, now scroll down to VMP ... ok, and in that submenu, there's Adjust Margins, Grammar and Spelling, and if you click Advanced Options, you'll see ... Murder VMP."
Can it have flaming text? I just love flaming text.
@Headly I like your style.
Let's put a button with several different languages to be more multinational!
VMP 맴버쉽을 취소하시려면, 여기를 클릭해 주세요. - Korean
VMPメムボスィプを取り消そうとすると、ここをクリックしてください。- Japanese
Quemen clicketh ye tugger to leve ye VMP membership.
@JasonKim Yes! Then people can ignore it in several languages!
Fuck it! Just cancel everyone's VMP except those who have had it for 6 months or more, or those who were Kickstarters!
Fucking problem solved!
@Teripie This ^^^^
@Teripie .. but ... but ... I want to keep mine... Oh, fuckit, I know where to reenroll.
@Teripie It looks like they implemented your plan.
"HEY FUCK FACE, HIT THIS BUTTON IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL VMP"
@The_Baron What button? I don't see any button!
@lisaviolet preferably in an autoclave
why would anyone want to cancel VMP...?
@bullrocky Some of us go long, long stretches without buying anything.
If someone wants to cancel VMP, have them PM @unixrab, I'm sure he will be more than happy to explain the cancel process.
@cengland0 Actually... (having [thankfully{I felt like nesting phrases this morning}] never been enrolled in VMP) I've never canceled VMP. Would you care to explain the process?
@cengland0 Do we even have a messaging system?
@unixrab Thanks for supporting the site!
@er1c No PM system yet but maybe we could share his personal email address every time someone wants to cancel.
@unixrab You aren't supposed to ask about how to cancel VMP in a reply to a comment. All questions on that subject must be posted as the start of a new thread.
@SSteve why
@er1c There's no messaging system.... @cengland0 is slightly more loony today than normal - He has a call in to adjust his meds (Interesting sidenote: I found this rare home video of @cengland0 showing off his moves in 7th grade: )
@unixrab Because all the cool kids are doing it.
@SSteve oh. OK
