I am ready to just give up. I am just trying to have a nice clean easy to use fourm thats organized so U dont waste a d/l on a movie or pic set that you already have.

But it seems that some have not any idea why I ask that the rules be followed and like to just copy links from other site and paste them here with nada preview.

Its simple I donate my time and links here free of charge . I also run my own fourm, and mod on two others, so the time I give this place can be used elswhere if you want me to leave , its that simple.

Dont even bother asking for a link to my forum unless your one of the top 5 posters here.


I never joined a site that I didnt read the rules before posting. I never got mad when my posts where altered because I didnt follow the rules or wanted to test them.

How the hell does a person make a post breaking the rules when there right there below the new topic button???? and my help page is there also yet I read all the time people saying , I will make a preview when I figure it out. For crists sake people It takes 5 whole minutes to d/l a VLC player and make screens for a preview of your post.


I remove so much spam from here you have no idea why do I bother ? so you dont waste your time looking at crappy shit that installs trojans , dialers or tracking software.

Now this guy is giving me grief:

https://www.forumophilia.com/topic8598.html

I send people a pm before I take action, they dont always respond and fix there post and its not my fault they didnt read the rules or like to do thing there own way.

So just one question , should I just leave this fourm?

No you did not send a message to me. If you had I would have been polite enough to talk directly to you and solve the problem off line. Since I had no idea which Mod moved my post I had no option other than to take this all on line.

I don't think it's very "MOD" like to take your beef online and ask everyone for there opinion for what is obviously a beef with me.

You use the rules as a reason why you are doing things but you have already set a double standard. See this post:
https://www.forumophilia.com/topic5959.html

If you think I am giving you grief then you are probably correct. In all honesty you might just deserve it. I appreciate what you are doing but you have to admit you might have made some mistakes in this matter.

Like you I am a very busy person. It takes allot of effort to do what you imply is "easy". I'll appologize to you and everyone for my causing you pain and agony. I am here to get good pictures and videos for free. I am trying to give back some of what I have in the mean time.

As a Moderator, you should know that you will never have a perfect board. The more you strong arm the rules the more people you will piss off. Since these rules where not in place when I joined this board you might just take that into account as well.

I will admit I have made mistakes I am only human. I have no beef with you, this is way bigger than just one persons post.

victor1 this is not about you ok?? got that ?

I do have a beef with the spammers and I do pm evryone even them, so I must have missed you, sorry for that. As you did see I didnt delete your work.


I brought this to the forum to have a fair and unbiased chat, because I am ready to give up and need to know if I should, so I thought who better to ask than the members.

At this point if asked by the other members I will remove as you say MY STRONG ARM TACTIC of having rules for posting vids and you guys can go back to having all the spam crap clog the board. Besides like you said rules just piss people off .

As far as your saying I have a double standered , the post you refer to is from Wed Oct 12, 2005 9:35 pm, Hmm that's two months ago ... Go figure
and as you stated the rules for that section started 14 days ago.

perfect board ? not going to happen but the rules are there to help you not waste a d/l on a movie you already have only to wait the RS hour for the same thing to happen again. Dont you think thats a good idea?


But go look here at the crap I have to deal with every time I come here:This guy just posted 8 threads in 8 minutes wrong section and its just spam he wont listen to my pm. So I may have been dealing with several thing when I moved your post and forgot to finish replying to it sorry again.

https://www.forumophilia.com/topic8618.html

This is what I am ready to give up over:

https://www.forumophilia.com/topic8626.html


So think what you like I love to see people post and try to post a bunch myself leading by example and yes everyone makes mistakes, I have made plenty, thats why I wrote the how to and the vid section rules which I think are fair..At this point I am ready to throw in the towel.

There is no victor1 vs me , doesnt exist. I just think its time for a vote.

Thanks to all good posters for there contibutions.

I do not want or need more respect, I do want people to say thanks to guys like Victor , Op , Kingo , noodle and the others who make this a great place.

Ok ? is that to much to ask?

I do like to see a preview of a movie not just take someones word that its good, we all have diff tastes. I dont like to waste d/l on what I already have, is that to much to ask ?

OK, I'm good no attacks..

If some one is making an honest effort to make a post then it should be left alone. If some one is just posting trash, I can see moving them. I mean if some one signs on to the board and they have been a member for well 5 minutes or 5 days it can make a difference to what they post.

Yea, I'm all for killing the spammers. Just take a bit of care and thought into it.
Make a check list
1. how long has the person been a member?
2. How many posts prior to the spam event?
3. Notify them that they are wrong in what they are doing
4. Place questionable post into a limbo state until problem is solved.

Consider all items.

I mean if you had even said something in my post I would have been willing to talk about it. I like the rules but if some one doesn't want to post a preview pic oh well. The odds are that post will die anyway.

As for the Image cash stuff... I actually found some great pictures in there. So I am not all against it. Maybe move it to a subsection of pics?!?!

whatever

rules are rules and they are made by the people who own the forum.

follow them or dont follow them it is up to you guys but remember they have the last say not you.

thats all I have to say, if you dont like the rules here take your bat ad ball and go home.

MM, I like the rules. I like getting a preview of what I'm about to DL, and I don't click links that I don't know where they are going. (sorry noodle)

How about putting a sub-section in the rules that if a post does not meet the minimum requirements it will be moved to SPAM, and when it is modified to meet minimum requirements, the poster should PM a mod and have it moved to its proper forum? Then send a mass PM to everyone so they all know where their cut-n-paste-from-another-board post went to?

If you don't have any rules you get a clusterf*ck, like on my late hard drive, can't find shit, not sure if you want to find it.

Oh yeah, thanks for deleting all that crap.... Cool



Ditto, rules are fine with me. If you don't like them there are plenty of other sites to go to. It is disappointing the lack of comments being made. I appreciate more now the effort given to posters with numbers 200 and higher.

Off soap box now.. Lets all post and comment.

Its nice to see this forum being moderated now. If MM and others did not step up and was about too. getting sick of the spam and imagecash posts. Without rules there will be chaos.

MM, great job you are doing.

MM, all I can add to this is I think you do a good job, after reading in various posts how busy you are in life it amazes me the time and effort that you do put into this. I can say that I wouldn't like to moderate, especially in a forum as diverse as this one, not an easy job to do, but after all, rules are rules and they are set for a reason, whether we like them or not.
I know I haven't been here all that long, but I do try to contribute what I can. Just lately I have been uploading pix to Megaupload for download by forum members, after all I thought this was a forum to share your stuff, but after posting twice with uploads in the last two days and seeing the responses (or more to the point absolute lack of them), then I must ask myself why bother if people are only going to lurk and leech and not make any contribution. I'll see how things progress after my holidays as I'm off globetrotting for a week later this month, and if the responses stay the same then I might re-evaluate the worthiness of posting at all.
That's my 50 cents worth......

And by the way, as I've stated before, I do appreciate your work mate!
