What???

Post by Giacomo Yakuzzi » 2003-12-22 17:31

Some (paranoid) people in this forum should try to check the dictionary for the words OFF - TOPIC. And also ADVERTISING.

Was I advertising myself in my first post? Well.... NO.

Im trying simply to get essential informations I just don`t seem to be finding anywhere else. That is why I came here.

Well, anyway,
no wonder I see just a few posts here, I bet the para-"whatever" cut`em all away.

In the OFF-TOPIC forum people should be allowed to post their... lets say - OFF-TOPIC comments. This points to some kinda freedom.

If you are telling us what to write in the TOPIC forums and also in the OFF-TOPIC forums, then I guess you should be opening an OFF-OFF-TOPIC forum where we could write about things that really interest US, and not just you.

...but I`m not paranoid, so I guess I`ll stay logged on.

There is no need to be passive/aggressive. I am fully aware of the meaning of those two terms.

No, you were not advertising "yourself". You were advertising a hub and encouraging others to advertise hubs. There is a strict "No hub advertising" rule here, as you will see if you read the section titles.

What kind of essential information? The only information it seemed you wanted was hubs (already covered) and a list of people who want to upload from you. I would hardly call either of those "essential". Unless there was something I missed?

If you spent any time here, you would know that this is not the case.

I am attempting to ensure that the posts here abide by the given rules. In what way am I imposing on your "freedom"?

Has it occurred to you to ask *why* the thread was closed? Whether or not you want to know, or even care, I will tell you. I do not want you to publish a list, here, of potentially copyright protected and illegal files and advertising them as available to others. This may cause legal trouble for yourself as well as the owner of this forum. I cannot speak for the other moderators, but I believe they would agree with me.

Did you make a "paranoid" joke there? I think you made some elsewhere as well. They were subtle, but I think they were there. :roll:
You made a joke about my nick. Kudos to you. You must feel so proud.

In future, if you have a comment to make, at least have the curtesy to address the appropriate person correctly and ask *why* an action has been taken, rather than making baseless accusations.

Thank you.

The thread you started was titled "Post subject: Write some good "secret" hubs - here!". I deleted it for the reasons that TheParanoidOne stated above. I sent you a PM telling you that I had deleted it. And I answered your PM about why.

This board is for the support of DC++: problems, suggestions, and general talk about the DC community. It is not a warez board. (i.e. I agree 100%.)




Giacomo, you're plenty welcome here. Chalk your first two posts up to inexperience, realize that TheParanoidOne isn't flaming you, and move on.
