To argusg: posts removed

I removed some 10 posts from you that were all adverts for two companies (hidden and kul, to be exact). Even if you're not related to those companies (and it certainly seems so) it's just too much.

No more advertising please or I'll ask for a ban. I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days.

People asked for advice... and I gave it. There is nothing in violation of the posting rules here, and filtering me out isn't really fair. I gave advice 1+ YEARS ago and you did the same thing for a company called Kully that I bought from. If I want to show people a small company I bought from that I had a good experience from, so be it! There's no harm in that, so stop filtering me out please.

Read the rules again.

If a member posts with only one answer, it can violate the forum policies. It's a form of spam that is not allowed.

are you serious?!?

I havn't exactly been given the chance to reply with any other answers... it's only been one day. It's absurd to think I should have to provide more than one answer in that small a time period

It's a form of SPAM we see.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jun 21, 2006 10:33PM PDT

And remove. You would not want a community open to spammers so consider your posts collateral damage if your intent is genuine.

I'm not kidding about the rules, please read them to see which one you tripped.

P.S.
by argusg Jun 21, 2006 10:20AM PDT

Not to mention, I only posted it four times. All of them were asking the SAME question. I have since only posted ONCE, and will continue to repost one time until you stop deleting me. I am doing this out of principle, so I suggest unless you want to go on a power trip and be the "macho man" you just let it be.


Also, I have made other suggestions. This validates my one post as legitimate and within the rules of your forums.

My mistake
by argusg Jun 21, 2006 10:24AM PDT

My mistake, it looks like you havn't destroyed my newest post YET. Hopefully you'll be nice now that I'm following the rules to your liking...
