Yes, I agree with you Gareth! It should be removed and we should have a Posters Bill of Rights as well.

Thanks Mark! 
But on issue #1- I think that at worst Eli should have been the only one to get a PCR, he said to spam. The others merely said to close the forums.

I dont think we need a "Bill of Rights" but I agree, would be nice to see some consistency, and also good to see the punishments dolled out made public as a warning to others and also as cofirmation of consistency...

Just wondering... Are you going to PCR all the people that made one liner in the on topic?

Spam. Venom wasn't banned or even warned for this.

We do need a bill of rights.

One line ???
Cant make a rule like that , some one line repsonses are all that is needed to adequately express some ones opinion re the topic. Also a lot of Mods/Admins answers to questions are simple one line responses. LEts not decide that to make a post not spam that it has to be lengthy or it wil ltake forwever to scroll through all the responses...

I suppose I’m not the only who’s surprised to see how this thread developed...
Regarding this earth 2025 thread: Eli, cut it, would you?
It’s not like any of got banned, we just got a PCR and I believe PC’s are pointless anyway. Yes, I know I made a sting at Markos afterwards with that “Yes you can kill this forum Markos” thread, because I detest being punished while believing having done nothing wrong, but all people who do something wrong believe that, right?
So I apologised for that because I know this is hardly something worth to make a fuss about.
The thread was dumb and Markos took away something dumb, no big deal really.

Yes, nothing personal on Venom's part. I just detest Spam.
Funposts, however, are fun.

That's CRAP, ming, and you know it. I am about as far from being a "spammer" as you are from being right.

Quite true. In fact that is a statement of the blindingly blinking obvious. The closer to a spammer you get, the more justified Ming was in calling you a spammer.
However, from his point of view, I would think the "distance" is 0...

Predictable.
And this is a perfect example of just why I didn't want this aired to the ACS "public." Dingbat here knows NOTHING about what happened, he has almost no information on the incident in question, It was specifically between ming and myself . . .
And yet . . .
He somehow has an opinion.
Is it based on facts? Nooooooooo.
Is there any sign of cogent intellection? Nooooooooooo.
Does he have any idea of just what he is talking about? Nooooo.
But, of course, despite the painfully obvious fact that he is completely ignorant of the incident in question, he needs to express himself, rather than minding his own business, or simply butting out.
Couldn't do that, could we, dingbat?
It's posts like yours, dingy, that make me feel more and more like I did the right thing.
Keep up the good work.  
Exile

Well now, this is an interesting development, a third bone of contention within this thread.
Care to spell out the details, Exile, of exactly what happened?
Hard to tell what exactly Ming said (or where, for that matter) from the previous posts that got you so fired up this way.
:banned: <---BTW, I nominate this as the "trapped at work" smiley.
It's the way I often feel, anyway.

exile,
i'm starting to wonder why the hell i was trying to help with your account all these days, only to see you create all this fuss....
instead of insulting people for talking without knowing the whole situation, how about posting all the information so that they judge correctly? after all, it was you who took this out in the public...

I agree with MarkG. Ming has already encouraged you several times to post the whole thing in public, but you continually dodge the idea.  If you don't want smart-ass uninformed comments, give us the whole story not just bits and pieces of it that support your point of view. You accuse Ming of using an "appeal to popular belief", but how are you any better when you refuse to publish <em>all</em> supporting data? Put up or shut up.
BTW, for the record I initially thought that the pcr was wrong; however, after hearing (reading ) the reasoning behind this fascist  tactic, I now support the decision. I really doubt anyone else will screw around in an on topic forum like this again.

Enough said on my situation with Exile!
We have agreed to keep it between us, so no other comments are needed.
The facts are simple... I deleted one of his threads... he wasn't pleased... we have discussed it in private... we have agreed to disagree... Case Closed
And back to the thread...
Again, the common sense rule is critical for maintaining order here. There is no way we can anticipate every possible situation, so there is no way we can cover every example in the FAQ. People will always continue to disagree on how rules are interpreted... but that's the way it is

I think all the moderators do a great job. Ming also has the best catch phrase:
Is there such a thing as a PCI (post count increase).
Seriously though, everyone berates law-enforcement, but where would we be without it?
