Training the NSFE mods

Or not.

In anticipation of the latest ‘Ask Amazon Event’ re: the PLS (‘Amazonese’ for “Product Lifestyle Support”) Program scheduled for today, 092525, Jameson_Amazon posted an earlier v. of this to the NSFE on 091525:

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-forums/discussions/t/6df61f62-bcdc-4bcb-b0fb-5b52fde02e45

Leaving aside the glaring misspelling of “Today” in the FMT-CMT’s unacknowledged revision once the event went live, we can see that the link to the Product Lifecycle Support (PLS) Home/Landing Page is inaccessible:

http: //www.sellercentral.amazon.com/productsupport

The actually-accessible link is here:

https: //sellercentral.amazon.com/productsupport

As the M.A.P. (“Midway Authentication Portal”) that Amazonians can access is likely to be something along the lines of this:

https: //www.sellercentral.amazon.dev/productsupport

I suspect that the many notifications of the inappropriateness of ‘.dev’ links made by the seasoned vets who still post over in the NSFE may have prompted a manual modification of what the FMT sees; what our friend @Lost_My_Marbles noted about re-crafting .dev URLS in his 12223 Post #6, upthread, seems to have fallen on deaf ears so far - and although it can’t be denied that there are some Amazon pages that use the non-secure http protocol, it does seem a bit strange that it would be used in this context, as that is not so on the public-facing page.


The reason I refer to the execrable “Day One-Day Two” paradigm is simply based on the fact that this isn’t the first ‘Ask Amazon Event’ regarding the PLS Program to have been “hosted” by Jameson - and she got the Home/Landing page link correct in that 072825 post (the ‘updated by moderator one month ago’ notification reflects the addition of the “[Now Closed]…” portion to the original title):

Saddest of all? Once someone posted to today’s event that the URL was malformed, it took more than two hours before Sandy_Amazon was able to correct it.




We ALL make mistakes - everybody on this mortal coil is only human, after all (w/ the possible exception of yours truly, according to some) - but I’m hard-pressed to make a compelling argument that Amazon’s frequency of doing so has not increased over the years, despite its unprecedented success in garnering profit…
