To Whom it May Concern...

To whom it may concern, which is not many,

There's been a dispute between a staff member and I, and to shorten the story, I'm just tired of all the strict rules around here, I've put up with it for 2 years without saying anything, but I'm not taking it anymore, I feel as if I'm beening watched and monitored by old catholic nuns with whips. Now, you may start flaming, but it will do you no good.

We (the team) have been discussing about ads in signatures because someone asked me if it was allowed. We still haven't decided if we should allow it or not, so I asked him not to use banners for now. I just asked if you would edit your signature nothing else. If I didnt ask you to edit your signature it wouldn't be fair.

I thrashed your thread because you asked us to click on the banner in your signature. This is the same as starting a thread and advertise free Ipods with a referer link.

so thats what he's on about.

i say allow them cos advertising doesn't work. if one were to put a money making thing in their sig they'd lose respect and i doubt they'd get any hits

Silly IKE, did you not read my first post? It's not just the thrashing of my thread and sig.

Damn, he didn't just trash your thread, he thrashed it.

What was in his signature anyway? I missed it.

Well, he got one. I'm curious.

It's not like the "no advertising in sigs" rule was made up just for you iMartin. If you put up with it for two years, why choose now to try and see if the mods are doing their jobs?
