Didn't the thread get locked because it fell foul of the "boring and pointless moaning" rule?

Ming isn't. He took 100 posts from me merely for a single piece of spam.

I would have banned you for three days and hit you with 10%, feel better now?

**Ming** · October 19, 2001, 16:22

He got three days just a few minutes later by proving how cool he was by getting around the censors...

Hmmmm... taking him down another 10% does sound like fun

If someone allows you into their home do you complain about how they refused to answer your question on who made that painting hanging over the mantlepiece?

Remember its the Admins who own the site, and so they have complete authority and need answer to no-one!

That is true, but in a dangerous way. If you have a restaurant, it's yours, right? You can have the food and service as good or bad as you please. People vote with their feet and if you want your restaurant to flourish, you better hbave good food and service. Same goes for a website and a forum. If nobody posts anything, the forum is dead. If no one visits Apolyton, Markos might as well take it offline.

I have had no problems here. Markos and other mods have answered my questions well. They have been few and generally simple, but I am happy with their responses. Therefore I don't understand why CyberShy's question has not been answered, if it is as simple and innocent as stated above. I have not followed the thread, so I am judging from this one.

The Internet is a funny place. It's mostly free of charge, and it's world wide. There are more choices than any one person can make use of in a lifetime. If I had a website as popular as Apolyton, I would feel very grateful. I know it's hard work, but there is more to it than that. Apolyton is a community. As long as that community is a happy one, it will continue to thrive. If unhappiness and rivalry sets in, Apolyton is in trouble.

An Administrator needs to be a lot of things, but above all, he needs to be a great diplomat.

Be happy that he doesn’t use a bigger size.
(And that I don’t use the same annoying way to get attention to the questions I have).

You are doing a great job.

I know you are humans with a real life (as I don't seem to have

) so I don't except immediate actions from your side.

Well, a certain admin ignores tons of spam, but gives pcr for someone only for one post. Why? Because he's the admin.

Have you thought of that it might have been many single posts, that all together was enough spam to give the certain person pcr, or that the person asked other people to spam too?

I am thankful that MarkG actually is fair with his administrative actions, and will actually keep a thread like this open so as to keep 'free speech' alive here at Apolyton.

I bet you this thread dies soon.

In fact you can't see the wall as its too thin. Which leaves.... not one singe manmade object can be seen from space.

Another urban myth bites the dust.

said the notorious spammer with a tin of spam as his avatar. No need to ask which side you are on Eli do we.

**Rasputin** · October 19, 2001, 18:56

i cant beleive the number of people who serioulsy think that FREEDOM of speech is relevant on a private website, whilst i dotn always agree with Mark on his attitude or actions , I do agree with him that he has the right to do whatever he damn pleases as he does own the place (well half own) we are here by privaledge guys, not a right.. So ask questions sure, but you just have to accept it when they decide to take action.....

So speaks a Spanked Spammer !!!!

Some you are the biggest spoiled brat crybabies I have ever seen in my life! Do you all act that way at home?

"Damn you Mom!!! I can't believe you wouldn't buy me a new $500 spoiler for the car that you already pay for the gas on and let me drive for free anyway! What a jerk! Oppressor!!!"

When you dumbasses pour hundreds of thousands of hours into the site, then MAYBE you can complain.

Admins can do whatever the hell they want.

CASE CLOSED
