Sounds like it worked well for people in charge.
The official reason for certification was "we want to work with clients who require ISO9001 compliancy". But the real reason may very well what you wrote.
ISO9001 was presented as a quality system, but I got the impression that mediocre quality was okay, as long as you did it consistently and ticked all the boxes on the paperwork.

If be suspicious of bots trying to get you to spend money with results that quick
This particular network is a local one, though, and if some of those contacts were bots they'd actually pass the Turing test. We'll see.

The worst thing about these is that the correct answer depends on what the other people have answered. Even if they were wrong. reCAPTCHA has become a Massive Multiplayer Online Family Feud.
That's called Google Feud.

It's all about the process, not the product. Whether it's accurate or not, I'm not sure, but I remember a story from the time that a company I worked for was going through the certification.
Supposedly, Yugo was ISO 9001 certified, but Rolls Royce was not. Rolls Royce's quality was infinitely superior, but because each car was individually hand-made, there wasn't a fixed, well-documented manufacturing process, which meant their process could not be certified. OTOH, despite the fact that Yugo made some of the worst cars ever, they had a well-documented process, and they followed it consistently; therefore, the process could be certified.

From my understanding of ISO9001, this is essentially correct. The certification does not certify any quality standard, it certifies that the company follows documented processes. As such it requires that for every task / production step / whatever there is a documented process describing how it's done, and that this documented process matches what is actually being done. That's it. The value of the certification is that you can find out what the company actually does by reading the process documentation.

@dkf
Is this what the brand new neurospiker-mancer-morpher answers when given input "boobies"?
Well, I'm afraid it looks to me more like optimistic Wikipedia lookup than any sort of intelligent analysis.But don't worry! It's probably working alright. There's empirical evidence that brain might not necessarily be involved in this particular association process; another human organ overrides it entirely.
-
@Zerosquare I read up a bit on what they're certifying for and it's not like that ISO-thing you're describing. It's a bit more involved and they claim that they're actually looking into the provider's promises and examine from the outside (i.e. mystery shoppers) and the inside if said promises hold water and if reality at least resembles what they're claiming to sell.
-
Interesting. Because if the numerous reviews can be trusted, they're definitely not delivering what they claim to sell.
-
@Zerosquare Erm, I'm not sure how you got the idea that I'm using that one?
-
@Rhywden: I don't. I just found interesting that they seem to have a certification process that makes sense, and still have a majority of customers that claim they're a scam.
-
@HardwareGeek said in Tinder is shit:

I worked at a company that went thru that too. We learned that if what we did was 100% wrong - as long as it was documented that that was how to do it, you got certified.
-
@dcon said in Tinder is shit:

Yes. The point of ISO9001 is that a third party can ask for the process documentation and be confident that what's written in there is what is actually being done, so that they can find out that what you do is 100% wrong and go look for another supplier.
I can see quite a bit of value in that. It's only a problem if you haven't bothered to check what "ISO9001 certified" actually means; but relying on a certification without checking what it actually certifies is always a stupid thing to do.

@boomzilla yeah, this is probably the biggest downside of online dating. My parents' story involves my dad finding a wallet on the street and getting very late (and very drunk) to the party where he met my mom for the first time, because the owner was so grateful when my dad returned it.

So, wish me luck for tomorrow, got a date with a nice-looking lady who seems genuinely interested.
I mean, this may still fall through or I could screw it up but one can always hope, right?

@Rhywden I wish you luck for tomorrow!

Seems to have gone fine, we have several things in common (but not too much), she told me that she had fun and agreed that we should repeat this another time.

Good for you! Don't screw this up!

Yeah, well, that one changed her mind, or rather: She wanted to avoid telling me in person that she didn't think it would work out (i.e. text message on the next day).
However, I have already secured(!) a second date with another girl - and if I had to compare the two the first one would lose out by a mile. For example, she studied computer linguistics (i.e. statistical analysis of language) and, after working in that field for a while, is now a statistics trainer/lecturer for undergraduates and PhD candidates. So she's a smart cookie and, as a bonus, her father is a math-physics-teacher so the usual reaction to my job ("What? Physics? I always hated that subject!") was notably lacking on her side.
Which immediately put her a mile above the rest.This, by the way, was a match through the paid service I talked about before - this service does ask quite a number of questions and then creates a psychological profile to match you with others in a way they deem to create compatibility.
Seems to have worked?

@Rhywden said in Tinder is shit:

-
And in a completely unexpected turn of events, she just texted me and said that she found someone else and that our date for Sunday is cancelled.
I'm now honestly confused because I thought I could at least recognize definitive interest but it seems that I don't know anything. This does not do wonders for my self-esteem.
I'll go and take a walk now to clear my head.

Some of the apps used by the various sp0rtz teams I play on have similarly terrible built in messaging components. You get notifications but the messages don't render in real time, so you have to constantly force-refresh to see anything. Whatsapp > all of that shit.

I've had it happen. Twice, both with people that I was totally, firmly not interested. If anyone else was ever interested, I never found out. Of course, I'm also hopelessly blind in such matters, so...

The best part is the friendly reminder:
Oh, and by the way? Only 14.5% of the U.S. male population is actually 6’ and beyond. So, we’re expecting to see a huge decline in the 80% of males on Tinder who are claiming that they are well over 6 feet. That’s fine by us — as long as we’re all living our truths.
If only they'd release stats on those over six inches, and those making over six figures so that enlightened individuals could compute the conditional probability of landing someone who meets all three criteria!
And yet at the same time, I've heard of 6'4" guys who would get more matches once they set their height at 6'2". It defies reason. At least there are a few of my shorter female friends who realize that if you're 4'11" or 5'1", 6+ feet in a partner is counterproductive.

For a while, OkCupid had a yes/no question along the lines of "Real talk: Ladies, are you a DD cup or larger? Guys, are you 6 inches or larger?" I was saddened when this question was removed, presumably for BUT MUH MISOGYNYYYY reasons.
They also used to have a question on breast implants, but that had to go too, so now we have no way of filtering on the well-endowed and/or the willing fixer-uppers.
