Dreadful course with faults and little…

Dreadful course with faults and little hitlers for forum moderators. I tried this as a refresher after some years out of coding. Very simple tasks split into small pieces. Seemed good. During the responsive design course I came across a fault in their answer checking which showed a correct answer as wrong. I went to the forum to add a post about this but automation highlighted a number of posts that may have been about the same problem. They were, so I added my own comment to one of the posts reiterating the issue. The post was shut down by a little hitler who told me to add a new post. There is no possibility of reply or review of their decision nor means of explaining that it was the forum itself that suggested NOT adding a new post when a problem was already described. This is the essence of bureaucratic tyranny and extremely frustrating. It also highlights that the FCC have failed capacity for testing their own product and for enabling open-door conversations about users who experience issues. I would recommend avoiding this program as errors like this will drive a newbie insane and could put them off coding completely. Yes its free to most users, but the service is paid for and used as cheap way of getting prospective staff to train themselves for free in their own time so don't believe for a second this is some sort of cornucopia. Years ago companies would recruit and then train staff at their own expense and they would be paid for the time they were giving up to learn skills useful for the profit generation of the company owners. Regardless, I would avoid free code camp. There are other more interactive and open ways of learning with people who will respect you and not shut you down and silence you with no recourse for reply.
