Hardly a warning. Big RED letters that say SPAM on someones post is not a warning. Its an insult, a low blow, a shot... call it whatever - but it is not a warning.
This appears to have been an "issue" with crew for some time now.
Please read on and do correct me if I am wrong:http://www.betaone.net/index.php?showtopic=29667
Fishers response:
Well holy shit that is somewhat of a personal milestone isnt it?
And why is someone faqing around with his post count? And why has it not been fixed?

Looks to me like certain people do not enjoy Fishers contributions to this board. If that is the case why not just ask him to stop posting news etc?
He was asked in the past not to post "news" everywhere, yet when you sign onto a board, see 2 pages of new threads from the same person- many of which he has replied to almost as soon as he posted them (Understand that? Start a thread and then reply to it???) then what are we supposed to think?
Posting the same "news" in multiple forums? Whats that all about?
Yes, the crew have known about it for a while. I
knocked his post count down by 400 posts, why? Because asking him in the past hasnt worked, posting "Spam" in large red letters on his multiple posts didnt work. What do you want us to do??? Ban him out right? He got a warning, he hasn't been banned- if he chooses to leave then it's up to him.
If you have any further questions then PM me, i will gladly answer them. |

Taking someones post count and changing it is offensive. Using Admin powers to change that is not a wise use of power. You may as well go ahead and change his signature for him, its just as obtrusive.
I was not aware of the history as you put it, so I do understand the frustration the crew must have experienced. But the handling of this situation could have been accomplished better?
If he did not listen to past warnings, then either a ban or setting a mod preview posting would have been more appropriate. |

We're arguing over POST COUNTS! This is totally rediculous. DoG has explained the reasoning. Let's leave it at that. To me, post counts are meaningless. Any admin can reset mine to ZERO anytime they want. Who cares! Is that why we are here??? I guess if you need it to feel better about yourself to having more posts than the next guy, then to each his own.

Hmm. How you been Norm? I hope all is well with you, as it is easy to discertain that you mean us no ill will.
Take care m8. Pucker up buttercup.

Norm?? is that you?? The same Norm who abused his Admin privs on a regular basis to get what he wanted???
Well faq me, thats another IP to add to the ban filter- i thought you had crawled under a rock whilst you grew a spine.
You are not welcome- keep your opinions to yourself and don't you dare lecture me about abusing my Admin privs you hypocrite! |

I haven't been here a lot lately due to personal stuff, but, Fisher, this isn't the first time you've had your post count docked for this very reason. A year and a half or so ago now I deleted nearly 400 of your's and another person's posts because every section was filled up with news posts, other than the news sections.

Go for it :P
Norm, why do you keep coming back? To cause more grief for us all? Haven't you done enough of that for one lifetime by now? |

@Members-
Please understand there are many things that happen behind scenes between members and crew. We keep this secret only until that member decides to talk openly about it. Fisher is not the only one on the watch list so everyone please obey our requests. We have rules and ask this only for the good of the board & it's members.
Please learn from this and:
1. If you have problems PM an ADMIN or MOD about it.
2. Use the Thankbot when you don't have anything worth while to add to a thread.
3. Try to limit your news postings to 2 per day.
I'm sure there is more I have not mentioned, I'll add to this if I think of more.

If a member is not a part of the "News Team", where do we put interesting articles we find? I put them in "Chat", but that may be incorrect. Thank you.
Still hanging around,

No more post counts! But they are still listed in your profile. Great decision! Woo-hoo  |

Well, they were 10 minutes ago
Guess I spoke too soon. I thought that would have been a good comprimise. Anyway, probably the change is for the best.
