Spamming and Flaming

from WinCustomize Forums
Why? Why are so many people against the idea of others posting links to their own skinning sites in forums or message boards?

Consider this… If you believed you were a part of a community and you thought that you had something to contribute (for free)… not software or freeware... and you thought you were doing your part to help this community grow, how would you feel if your attempts at becoming a valuable piece of this puzzle were shot down by your own people? Why can’t other skinning sites and forums play “Big Brother” to others? Why try to stomp out little brothers who would just like to grow with the idea of skinning?

SPAM… how could someone trying to list their part of the community, in the community forums be considered spamming?

Advertising… How could a site that isn’t selling anything or promoting anything be considered as advertising something?

Self Promotion… How could someone that has nothing more than a forum for people of the community to share thoughts be considered self-promotion… when the only real thing that is being promoted is the skinning community itself?

This community will NOT continue to grow instead it will be controlled by only a few major companies (just like everything else) until something changes…

Go ahead and start bashing me for this post… I am prepared.

YOU REDUCED HIM TO VISITOR?!
Reply #64 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yes....works for me.

A small time for him to reflect on past errors of judgement.

There were many.

Reply #65 from WinCustomize Forums Top
No...I dont think this is a good idea. I think you should bring him back. He's really enthused about skinning and loves talking to people on the messageboards. Please return him to his former status.
Reply #66 from WinCustomize Forums Top
yea Jafo... dont be pissed at him.... whats with all of the extra posts on here... kinda strange

CerebroJD....I'm not entering into dialogue....suffice it to say a cleanup was always necessary following the unbridled enthusiasm.

Sorry that happened...I got a kick out of Latin's posts. Wish I could remember being that young and enthusiastic.
Reply #69 from WinCustomize Forums Top
I'd just like to get a head count:

Who here wants Latin to stay?

Who does not want him to stay?
Reply #71 from WinCustomize Forums Top
This is not open to ballot, so it's irrelevant.
Reply #72 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Well if people want him to stay, then shouldnt he be able to? This isnt an UzEE thing. Not everyone hates Latin.
Reply #73 from WinCustomize Forums Top
What say we make you an admin, CerebroJD...and you can ride shotgun over the serial nuisances...
Reply #74 from WinCustomize Forums Top
BTW...I don't know anyone who 'hates' Latin, either. This is an issue he's been made aware of more than once.

I think you're over-reacting CJD. Jafo stated it was "a small time for him to reflect on past errors of judgement" That doesn't sound permanent.
I think he's got a lot to learn when he says things such as disagreeing with Jafo about his 'help'. "I was right 80% of the time" means he was wrong 20%, and that's enough to really confuse someone, or worse scre up their machine.
