Just an idea, but maybe to discourage this sort of thing and to keep everyone happy you could start a special usergroup for longstanding members of this board where they could post together separate from the main forum. People with 300 or more posts could be invited by other members to post there.

The forum has a lot of members now and I think some people are not happy with the leechers!


That's not a bad idea...

GS - Rules are fine, but also should be looked at from time to time. I have posted one hell of a lot of stuff on this forum. My current topic is about to reach 300,000 views. This is a good board, but does lack a few things that some of us look for - so we look elsewhere for the 'community' spirit that cannot work in such a large, open forum.
Despite the fact that I frequent other forums, and am a moderator elsewhere, I still post here, regularly. It does bother me that if I pm one of my friends here I face being banned.

With all due respect GS perhaps it's time to either change Rule #7, or work out a good alternative here at Forumophillia.

Thanks

Call me crazy but I was of the understanding that private messages were just that, private.

Now I can understand Admins needing to check in if there's a major issue, but i'm getting the impression every pm is monitored, and that's defeating the purpose of the pm's isn't it?

I would have to agree. For that matter some of the pm's that I presumebly got in trouble for (in fact I believe all the pm's) were pm's asking people to email me. So if you ask someone to email you in a pm then it's automatically to convince them to join another forum?

I see no reason for rule 7, there are thousands forums out there: what's the prob?

But I do not like people, even mods or admins, to check my PM-box.

Just shouldn't be... That's private!

man am I glad to read what I've been thinking. This may get me into trouble but that kind of crap is just wrong, I mean what's the point of pm's if they aren't private.

Let's see 'the light'. I have posted 1,800+ posts here, and continue to post on a very regular basis. LePhex has posted well over 500 and continues to post here on a very regular basis - oh and then there's you with your walloping 6 posts - need I say more? No, but I will anyway.

If for one minute I thought the members did not want me here I would leave. I post here because my files get downloaded by the members here. I encourage others to post here for the same reason.

Obviously you are someone else on the shadows, but not someone with much in the way of reading ability (or intelligence for that matter). I am not an admin there, I am a moderator as stated in an earlier post - it's not something I am hiding at all. LePhex is a realm area moderator, not a 'super moderator' as you so incorrectly stated. If GS is concerned I would encourage him to join us at the shadows and make his own determinations.

Now for your attitude:Quote:

I am going to submit a list of all the known members to shadows that post here and are soliciting people away - you are being watched inside [laugh] and out. We don't like you or want your abusive shit so keep it. You keep this up and I will start reporting links on all of you - I am getting very MAD > trouble for you - trust me.

Just who is the trouble maker? You my friend. The people you mention continue to post here, encourage people here to post more, take part in the various discussions here, and are valuable members of the Forumophilia community. You are none of those things. You are exactly the kind of person that fucks things up, not the people you have slandered. They are, if fact, terrific people who are liked and respected very much at BOTH forums.

Quote:

FYI GS Hear they are posting all your stuff at shaddows in the special areas [complete rips] little bird told me Smile Might want to start to take some action.

The only little bird is the one flying around in your head. Once again if GS or Darkstar wish to join us they will be welcomed with open arms. The Realm is simply a different kind of place that offers a different style of community. It compliments forums like this, and recognizes the importance and value of forums like this one.

It's people like you that are ruining this terrific forum. You sir, are a troubled, sick person.

Damn, Bavaria, I couldn't have said it better! The truth is is that all the people that this twit mentioned are the biggest supporters of FF...and the biggest posters and supporters of other posters. GS knows this, or he would have banned my furry lil ass a lonnng time ago. Scamper away, lil one!

Hi light,


For someone with only six posts you got quite a strong opinion about well-known people here.
I wonder: who are you really? Did you create this account especially to fight against this shadow-forum? (Rolling Eyes read rule 13 then. Laughing )
Why?
What's bothering you?

FYI: there's a lot of forums out there, many membere here are members somewhere else too, now do you hate them all?

My advice, light, tell us who you really are, you ought to since you are adressing people by name, tell us what your problem really is (if there is one), solve it and enjoy this forum for what it's worth: post, leech, chat and read, it's actually a fun place so get a smile on your face.

You might feel better you know...

But they do have a right to be here.

Last I checked it was free to join. When did membership become exclusive?

Which goes to show how much of a spine you have if you have to take on another name to attack people.

So someone told you what's happening at another forum?

Look, I know you're going to come back at me with some bullshit about me being a member over there and sticking up for my buddies.

Whatever.

I post this of my own accord, not because they're my buddies and i'm out to defend them. But more to point out the flaws in your statements.

You make all those wonderful accusations, but answer me this.

Can you back them up with evidence?

Let's see you do that. Back your words up with evidence. Throwing mud is one thing, but i'm betting yours won't stick for a second.

Now as far as Rule 7 goes. That's not right.

What if I happened to come across, in conversation on here, a fellow poster with a shared interest in say ... gem collecting? Why would it be wrong to then pm that poster with a link to a forum dedicated to gem collecting?

Yes, i'm breaking Rule 7. But so what? How is it harming FP? Isn't a large part of this place about sharing common interests?

All that aside though, it's clearly obvious that there seems to be an extreme violation of the private messaging system occurring. Not certain links being shared around, but Admins invading the privacy of this forums members.

I know Admins can go into the pm's of others, but they should only do so when there's a case of extreme abuse going on. What I see going on here is EVERY pm being monitored, and that is an invasion of privacy.

Ok no one else seems willing to say the obvious: Man I wish you lephex and that dirt bag Bavaria would go back to Shadows with your girl beating 25 MB Max Hardcore stuff [& the like] and leave this forum alone. I saw you people do this with Angelus and here you go again starting trouble just like you did 2 months ago. Yes the email and pm ARE for invitations to Shadows. We all know it so STOP before the lot of you get banned! [as I wish you would]

Please GS put a stop to these people’s crap - Darkstar someone do something about this - you people act like you have a right to be here, like you own this place. Who gives 150000000000000 shits how much you post Bavaria, what's the matter you can't get it up, no time for “real girls” Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Shadows Sucks Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation [dumb high tech skin clashed with a “macho Nordic” theme and a lot of little boys petting themselves who don’t know squat] go back down your piss holes vermin and leave this great forum alone.

FYI Everyone, I am someone else obviously and these two are the Super moderator and Admin of ‘Shadows’ Woooooo they HAVE contacted me and they were soliciting for the shadows forum all the time saying bad things about Philia. Now how do we spell a real LEECH! All this means that no matter how “sweet” these two sound they are liars and SPAMMERS who are breaking the rule NUMBER 7 of this board repeatedly in anyway they can find. Their whole purpose in being here is to seduce people away.

So take Gnome, Backfootbob, dentellefem, Ravenhawk, Warpigs, Photo1, Angelus etc. and just go to your little forum Aholes. I am going to submit a list of all the known members to shadows that post here and are soliciting people away - you are being watched inside [laugh] and out. We don't like you or want your abusive shit so keep it. You keep this up and I will start reporting links on all of you - I am getting very MAD > trouble for you - trust me.

FYI GS Hear they are posting all your stuff at shaddows in the special areas [complete rips] little bird told me Smile Might want to start to take some action.

First off let me say that this is the second time that a member has come out here in defence of GS and has insulted many of this wonderfull forums members. The last time as I recall, jeje... caused alot of problems for some of the best friends to this forum and to GS's biggest supporters here. That was fine we got over it in time and stayed here none the less. And now a new threat to this forum in the forum of a 6 post, yes 6 posts poster. So the first thing I think is it's obviously a trusted friend and that's fine I'm not going to get into name calling or insults out of respect for GS and his forum, but I will say this... over the last 6 months this place although growing in size has become somewhat cold and disturbing in some of it's current trends. I know the mods here are working very hard to keep this place going and a safe place to post. But no matter how hard they work it just is too much for them and it's showing on the forum. Many members are upset with some of the things that have been happening here with spam, undeerage content, flamming and consistant whinning by some new members and some old members. Not all of us want this type of thing at a forum where we all get together to post a few vids or pics and say hi to our friends.

So I ask GS to have a look at your great forum and take a moment to make some changes. I/we know that you are a busy man with a lot of pressure at times but I think there are some issues here that need to be addressed. Perhaps a few new mods could help, but whatever you decide, I think the rule # 7 needs to be addressed in some way as well. Perhapa the addition of some new mods here may remove the need for members to feel it necessary to find other places where they can talk and post without feeling threatened by certain content and the like. This is just a suggestion and afterall it is your forum GS and we all thank you so much for this place. Without you we all would never have become such good friends.

So GS.... thank you for everything. We all do respect and admire you. We may not allways see eye to eye on some issues but we have all remained loyal to this forum. Yes we all have from time to time invited our friends to a new forum so we can all get toghter to talk, post and have some fun, but we have never left here and that should cound for something.

As for Light, I really don't think your helping GS here, so please refrain from making deflamatory comments about members here. Besides no one wants a pissssing contest. It's just ****ish as is evident my your remarks.

Well I must agree with my friends, ( I won't mention their names because you already seem to know who they are, since you have read my PM's). I have always been on 2-3 different boards and most probably will be trying to find the content that I like. I see nothing wrong in doing that.

Also, I think that I have contributed in a fair manner to this board and other boards, ( not as well as my FRIENDS, must I add ) but at least I try, which is much more than I can say for alot of people here. I see nothing wrong in inviting people to other boards, as I have invited people from other boards to come here quite a few times, for the same reasons that some of my friends have mentioned already.

People are here to enjoy themselves, looking for content that they will appreciate. IT WOULD BE VERY HYPOCRITICAL TO THINK THAT ANYONE WHO IS HERE IS ON NO OTHER BOARD AND DO WE WANT THAT. Where do you think people GET THEIR CONTENT, FROM THEIR BACK POCKET!!??? I don't think so Tim!!! Keep everyone locked up here, so they will not go elsewhere, and keep up the fighting, the bitching, the arguments, the reading of PM's, and this place will be empty in no time!

These are reasons that I move on elsewhere.

Keep a freindly board, HONEST, with good people ( HECK THIS IS WHERE I MET MOST OF MY FRIENDS) because at one time this board was a SUPER place. Just hoping it regains it's title some day.

BTW: for some of you people's information, I was banned from being able to PM anyone in this forum. Yes I did invite people to other forum's, as I have invited other people to come to this forum. EUH: How do you think people find out about a good forum.......................................
Enough said.

I sent this "the_light" a PM. Since those are not that private, and also since this forum is all about sharing I thought I could share that with all members:

To help you we need to know the other name you are using here and at other forums.

No see if this "hero" is man enough to reveal his prior nickname, the one he's been using before getting a second account as "the_Light" (which is against rule no 13 BTW Laughing)
