We used to be a major advertiser on that board. Once we cancelled hes been a pure prick since.

Oh? How so?

I still see no spam here.

Then there's your answer.

Honestly, I don't know if I'd have had the nads to go trying to post "announcements" on a board that I no longer advertise on. At least not without privately contacting the owner or admin first.

That obviously goes without question. But a blanket perma-ban for one post without any prior notice or anything? That seems rather extreme, considering PB has advertised on their boards in the past.

Its fine though. They can go ahead rub one out over it. At the end of the day, it reflects rather badly upon them.

read the first post of the thread again

excellent board...they dont take no shit either

Yes, I do see that. But is he banned? (I'm asking, I haven't looked yet)

I don't always agree with TD or the other mods here, and this seems to be one of the cases I guess. The guy merely asked a question, no link, no encouraging anyone to go to another board... just a question.

The day we are limited in what we are allowed to discuss is a sad day indeed.

So I wouldn't be gloating too much over "being right" about this one.

Cheers.

..and this is why he wasn't banned. Unintentional spam would be the appropriate term, IMO.

They dont let you post such announcements in the general forum. You have to use the forum made for announcements there.

Yup, if you want to post announcements over there, you get to put them in a spam forum that nobody ever reads, which effectively makes it a total waste of time. They are in it for the money, and when you aren't paying them, you aren't welcome.

I would say that probably 90% of the people who go there also come here, so your announcements get noticed here anyway.

yeh, great forum there, i only posted in the newbie forums and got a tonne of help and advice, from people who really wanted to help instead of people on here saying "goodluck" and "looks nice" but not a lot of replies though.

They do not ban people for fighting the use of scumware. Is that your problem, TexasDreams?

1st off, I'd like to say that I agree 100% with this policy. Someone let me know aobut this post earlier & I found it strange that it was not edited/removed/deleted (which I see it is now)

You want the long list of things you've done to piss us off? Aside from the spams that I get on my personal email accounts & ICQ's from Platinum Bucks, Adult Rental & Camazon:

1 - Platinum Bucks used to be advertisers on our board, which game Platinum Bucks 3 banners spots. You wanted to host the banners so that you could swap them out & that's fine with us (many advertisers do this) Then once Adult Rental & whatever other shit program you own was opened up, 2 of the banners changed, which gave you ads for 3 different programs for the price of one. You were advised when you bought the ads that only 1 program couple be advertised at a time (meaning had you come to us & asked for one of the other programs to be up for a time frame, we'd have no problem) So once your ad campaign expired, both parties decided to no longer do business.

2 - As people have said in this thread, we run a very tight ship. No "press releases" can be posted on the main board unless you are an advertiser. Back in August 2006 you were warned & eventually banned for 2 weeks (or a month - I honestly forget) because you repeatedly broke that rule.

Then, last week (March 7th) you were warned about doing the same thing again after you posted a press release in on the main board. 5 days later, you do it again & to be quite honest, I'm sick of it. So now your banned from the board for good.

How many times should I let you shit on my rug before I don't let you in the house again?

*****

I'd like to apologize to GFY about this mess happening on their board, as Jim's already been speaking to Paul at Platinum Bucks about resolving this, but it seems the rest of the employee's over there can't help but voice their opinions & make matters worse.

Please stop spamming your board here.


























































jk..... :1orglaugh

I like their board. I like this board.

I now feel the urge to build a campfire and sing kumbaya.

gg&j = good times, gfy = relaxation
