PPCGeeks boycott??

The biggest problem is that us users were attacked for voicing our opinions about the mods. That is the reason that this thread has not died. If the mods would have taken our opinions with a grain of salt then this thread would have died where it belongs. I think this is especially evident that the most prominent mod on the forum (Pibe3 simply quit posting. I'm sure he read everything as he usually reads everything, but he read the comments, understands them, and moves on. It is the mods that felt the need to defend themselves that kept us explaining our thoughts. I think this has reached and pointless end and should be closed. I'm sorry you didn't like our comments, but they are what they are, comments. Take them or leave them.

I'm staying out of the spam infraction but that does sound pointless if true. I would suggest the admin looking into it to make sure the mods did as they should have. Giving an infraction for a post months old is just dumb.

actually it wasn't even a post. It was a hyperlink in my signature which I have justed removed. How many times has a user put a link in the room with advertisement on it. I encounter them almost every day in here. But I think it's save to say that it was a direct result of what I posted. The infraction reads "We don't need that here". smh

[wldthng842]

how much sense does that make? I thought that was the point of the sig line? Say what you want as it can be turned off by users that want to ignore it. I see links in them all the time. Who knows, there may have been another reason. I'm staying out of it and letting this thread die. The mods clearly heard my comments, it is up to them to do with it as they please. Peace

Out

Ok, stop... I'm typing my reply at the moment.

Goddbody, check your PMs. The infraction was not issued for the link on your signature, it was issued for the post that is linked to on the infraction PM. It is also on your quoted post.

While the infraction may say Spam Advertisement, it was meant that the content of the post was spam. That is simply a system limitation.

I will continue to type my reply now...

[wldthng842]

That comment did detract from the thread that it was in and was pointless. I have to agree with the mods on that one. I have not heard of any infraction abuse/misuse from mods, more along the lines of closing threads. Which in the end is their own decision as they were given the power and we were not.

P.s. I only came back to hear pibey and because I got a PM from Goddbody

[Goddbody]

okay I am officially mad now. How many times has a person put an acronym in a post to respond to something they felt was humerous but was off topic? Wldthng842 you comment in pms that it was wimpy..thats an understatement. i bet ole dude went to look something up to flag me for, but like you I am done with it now. I don't have time for childish games.

Nobody went looking for something to get you. That post where you received an infraction was posted TODAY. So please don't try to make excuses.

While many users use acronyms when something is funny, it is also accompanied by content. Posts that only say something like "lol", "ROFL", etc. are considered spam... because that is what they are. The post did not contribute anything to the discussion.

If you had been posting on an Off Topic thread, then maybe I could see your point.

At this point I know nothing will make you happy, if you really want to be mad because of an internet forum, then that is up to you.

I am glad you are done with this thread and don't have time for more "childish games", this means we, as a community, can move on as well.

I apologize if take all this the wrong way, but I feel I have backed up all my statements.

Wimpy or not, this is their site and they can do what they want with it. I have no further comments about it. Plus it's not like they banned you, it is an infraction. Not really a big deal, more of a warning.

Pibe, thanks for your comments. This would probably be a good closing point.

you say one thing in pms then another in the room, but uh do you dawg? I am done with it and thanks for your comments.
Pibe what are you talking about looking for excuses? I get mad when i feel I am treated unfairly, yes I made the post today, and yes the Mod that flaged me was also in this thread today also, so I don't see your point here. Do you know how many times I have posted in a thread hereLastly, with simular acronyms? Lastly, like wldthang842 said its really not a big deal, but when I see what I saw posted in here today happen again I will respond, because the person the thread originated from had a valid arguement. I could careless about any rationalizations that may be offered. I think we have all exhausted our opinions on this and time to move on.
