To Whom it May Concern...

[iMartin]

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.

[Rip The Jacker]

I thrashed your thread because...
Damn, he didn't just trash your thread, he thrashed it. :lol:

What was in his signature anyway? I missed it. :unsure:

[Guillaume]

and i doubt they'd get any hits
Well, he got one. I'm curious. :01:

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?

Bye! :ohmy:


When are the smilies gonna get fixed? :P

Will do that tomorrow :P

[Rip The Jacker]

Also, just to throw this in there. When it comes to signatures, how can you say we're too strict? Its really simple, keep them within the size limit, and don't put anything you know your not allowed to.

Look at this part of the rules:

Signatures will be restricted in size and content. Signatures may not excede a 500x150 pixel area, this includes all images and text used. The total file size for all images contained in a signature may not excede 100,000 bytes. Signatures that do not comply may be removed or edited by a moderator or admin.
The image in Guillaume's sig is 271 x 150 pixels, with text above and below it. That makes his sig too big technically, but do we really say anything? Nah. :P

How d'you check the size of the whole thing anyway? :n00b:

[{I}{K}{E}]

How d'you check the size of the whole thing anyway? :n00b:

Yours is 201 (h) :shifty:

[Rip The Jacker]

We mods have secret sig checking powers. :ph34r:

Your sig is around 195 pixels top to bottom. Point is: We really aren't all that strict. :unsure:

[Guillaume]

It seems you're lacking a secret "agree-on-numbers" power though. ;P

[{I}{K}{E}]

It seems you're lacking a secret "agree-on-numbers" power though. ;P

He removed the 201. he edited his post :dry:

[Rip The Jacker]

I didn't count the little gap between the line and text under it. :P

[manker]

Have to agree with RTJ, the mods here aren't all that strict. They're alright, if you ask me. The reason I post a fair bit here is precisely because of the relaxed attitude of the people with their finger over the delete button. Oh yeah, and because they let me take the piss without bannage :P

I wouldn't flame iMartina as I hardly know her - but honestly, grow up kid.

[vidcc]

I have never had a problem with mods, and never really felt the need to complain about anything. My sig was too big once so I reduced it...not a problem.

I look at it this way....this forum is free to us but someone has to pay and like I tell my children "while I pay the bills I make the rules".

This forum is the one of the few places in my life I don't have take things seriously. I get to have a laugh, a rant and sometimes a bloody good argument.

I won't flame you Imartin, I hope you will continue to post and just accept this place for what it is......

Mine was 150px high and had text underneath and {I}{K}{E} made me remove the text. :dry:

:P don't really care though.

edit: just realized if u right click my sig and check file size it says 0kb cause it's linking to a php file.

:shifty: i can have any file size'd sig i want.

If I remember correct you had a link in your signature which linked to a page that hosted / had links to cracks and keygen's

[manker]

Like that nice Billy Dean. No-one ever knows when he comes back, the trickster.

That's just typical of Ross; breaking the rules all the time. You'd think after all the times I've helped him in Hardwareworld, he'd tow the line a bit.

Funny but I never realised that imartin had any issues with mods and stuff.

I always thought we were on the whole a pretty laid back bunch....

Besides.....it aint worth the grief, this aint real life so it aint worth getting all worked up over.



I can think of far more exciting things to get worked up over....... :whistling
