This thread has convinced me to make my sig one line shorter.

Would you like a month? It can be arranged if you wish

You know, this type of comments never is funny

not from my place and not from the side.

But the crime doesn't justify it. A day was about what you deserved for not staying current on the rules.

Seriously?

It's interesting that I have to stay current on the rules, by going to the uploads page, seeing the new bold print and then clicking on it, to see what illegal files means.

This inspite of the mods heavy use of ads, announcements, news, top page row, right side column in the forum index, for all other important announcements.

As far as the process goes... mods had nothing to do with it. It's Mark and Dan's job. Take it up with them by PM if you have a problem with how they run their private site

I made this a thread for two reasons:

1) I PMed you, thinking I may have somwhere done something wrong in a post, and you never called back.

2) I wanted at least some attention brought to the issue. If Dan and Mark are too busy to make an announcement about their new policy, and warn those holding files, (though they aren't too busy banning unsuspecting people) my thread might as well inform the readers.

That should make someone a nice sig.

thanks

You're welcome.

Well, I have a hard time culling my sig to just three statements.

Perhaps I should rotate some of the sig material I have saved.

You are the one that raised it as you tried to be overly dramatic... so what, you can dish it out and not take it back...

Yep... just like you have to keep current on the rules in your own country. You agreed to follow the rules when you became a member.

This inspite of the mods heavy use of ads, announcements, news, top page row, right side column in the forum index, for all other important announcements.

Your point?

Excuse me for not being at your beck and call... I do have a life. As people know, I try my best to get back to people asap... but sometimes that's not possible.

2) I wanted at least some attention brought to the issue. If Dan and Mark are too busy to make an announcement about their new policy, and warn those holding files, (though they aren't too busy banning unsuspecting people) my thread might as well inform the readers.

Yeah... they were probably too busy providing you and everybody else this great site that you can post on for free...

YOU broke the rules... and you got a slap on the wrist. You NOW know the rule you should have looked up in the first place...

You seem more interested in passing the blame instead of just admitting that you were actually in the wrong...

WHICH YOU WERE.

**War4ever** · July 4, 2003, 20:44

Poor Ming....always getting flak for just doing his job

**DrSpike** · July 4, 2003, 20:45

Siro you are being a bit of a drama queen..........you didn't lose any posts and it was 1 day only, the mildest slap you can possibly get for breaking the rules.

I do however agree that people should be notified when they get banned..............more work for Ming and co, but probably best.

All IMO, of course.

**War4ever** · July 4, 2003, 20:46

an opinion the good Dr. has no problem sharing tooo

Well better to express opinions than just shamelessly +1 Mr 4ever.

You are AFAIK.

**Aramis** · July 5, 2003, 00:34

I'm confused.
Siro is banned for 24 for something he didn't know he shouldn't have done and takes exception to it.
Ming justifies the ban to the point where it looks like he's about to have a stroke.
Other people get banned for 24 and are not even aware of it.
Do the rules change day-by-day?

Good Heavens!

**Snowflake** · July 5, 2003, 01:16

No, rules don't change day-by-day. It's the people who change day-be-day.

BTW, I confess that I never look at somebody's signature if they are three long lines or more.

You are forgetting Uber's 60-minute ban?

Because he didn't keep up with the rules... so he is whining.

Huh... just stating the facts...

A few rules do change every once in a while... That's the right of being an owner. You know, the people that work the butts off so you have a place to post for free

Announcement

Was I banned? and if so why?
