Don't worry, Mild warnings are invisible to other people. Just be a little more careful next time you post.
Don't offer anyone anything for free under any pretense. If a person needs it, he is able to buy it. With your gifts you only breed bots and idlers. The Mod is doing the right thing.
Seems your ego is getting the better of you here.
I think the concern was you giveaway post interval was too short each other.
I think mod was keep it clean about it.
and flaunting generosity is giving the impression that they were not entirely sincere
no. that's why you got that warning.
Alright, cool, it's my ego... I'm "flaunting generosity"... totally not explaining myself.
Some people just aren't worth the time and effort.
Want to know what the next give away was? 40 dedicated servers - 1GB/s unetered, free for _ 1 ENTIRE YEAR _
Instead of being treated fairly, two of my threads get deleted, I get a warning, and I'm not even selling anything. Meanwhile, people are taking weeks, months, to deliver their orders.
No warnings. No thread deletions.
They sell things before they even HAVE hardware or transit? Totally cool... But let's be a dick to someone who was actually trying to be nice.
I stand by my point, @angstrom made a mistake. This has nothing to do with my ego, I was trying to explain with @plumberg that money isn't my sole motivation in life, and if someone accuses me of being a scammer.... Yeah, I will mention what I have done for the community.
Wait, so you thought you are above the rules, that you no longer need to ask for approval even tho the rules clearly say so, then got a warning by a mod, and now demand an apology from the mod?
What kind of LET drama is this again?
Well I got nothing, so first you have to give me something to get me on your side of the darkness.
Loaded Ego Talk
Maybe make a dedicated giveaway site? Or use gleam.io?
You seem sincere, so I bet interested people can follow to whichever platform you make for giveaways.
@Verasel funded my previous giveaway. He sent out the prizes instantly to the winners, no questions asked. A winner even got double transfer, and Verasel didn't ask for it back. Thank you.
As for forum moderation, no comment.
special treatment only granted if:
pick 2
Actually, yeah... I will agree with you. Not mentioning names, but yeah... seems to be that way. I'm the bad guy. Clearly.
Meanwhile lunacy runs rampant in the asylum.
juicy
You may be a youngster, but some of us aren't children, we understand that the rules are there to protect the forum members from scammers and such.
Some of us used forums since they existed.
Please, stop trying to turn this into something that it is not.
I haven't asked for anything in return of any kind, I am not flaunting. I simply thought, like the other Staff members, that there is no point in continuously asking for permission when you have proven that you will deliver.
All this has accomplished is that it left a bitter taste in my mouth about the forum again.
I AM NOT ABOVE THE RULES if I belive, along with other people, that because I always deliver the promised prizes, I shouldnt spam mods for every single giveaway.
There are people abusing it, to get sales and such, but how am I doing anything other than trying to make people feel better? I am not making sales threads, I am not actively offering anything. I sponsor projects.
If I were abusing giveaways as a way to get sales, then yeah, "fuck me"... but the reason I asked for an apology is because he deleted two of my threads, which is a sign of total disrespect to LET as a community.
Delete threads where legitimate companies like @Clouvider are bashed, but nope... delete mine.
again...so you want the staff here to apologize to you for removing your threads because they were enforcing the rules which you ignored? so they doing what the rules says will happen is considered being disrespectful but you ignoring the rules and think you should be exempted is a sign of respect?
Why so much tantrum?
Just get them approved. Just get 5 in a row approved in one message. Just open a ticket and get a blank check for future giveaways if your track record is that amazing. Throw them under the bus if they make problems for this.
It can't be that hard to figure it out.
There are rules and limits put in place for a specific reasons. Don't like them? Try to change them / don't come here, but do it before getting caught not after.
Them ruzzians think they're special. 🤭
Whatever, dudes... destroy all the fun, and happy and nice things, over stupid arbitrary things like expecting you will get permission for giveaways you don't have planned yet. But, we still get back to the same isue... I delivered, for free. Same day.
Every single thing user asked.
People do presales? No problem.
Don't deliver for months? No problem.
Yeah, I'm rightfully pissed off, because we are grown men, you're not going to ask every time you want to give things away. If you are some type of a grifter, sure.... but if you have a proven track record of being a normal person. There's just no need. Seriously.
Rules aren't meant to be taken literally unless it's something like scamming, or insulting someone based on their ethnicity, etc.
@angstrom should remove this thread as well. 🤭
Other providers' failure to follow rules/mods' failure to enforce them doesn't absolve you of doing the exact same.
Blathering like this, then having the audacity to call @Alyx a "youngster" is pretty bold, imo
i see the rules are simple but yet a grown man like you claim to be cant follow simple instructions and then go on a rage about staff behavior when it has been clearly mentioned in the rules what will happen
Some things are to be avoided.
I wish you luck. Maybe a private message to talk direct is best instead of this thread.
This forum is 10000x better than WHT. That’s real censorship.
LowEndSpirit may be more receptive of your kindness and charity.
I've literally never asked for approval or permission for our previous giveaways. Honestly, didn't even know that was a rule, to require permission to give things to community members.
if you did it in your offer threads then i think the rules dont apply
Considering that I am a guest at someone else's house, so to speak. I have used foul, and what I would consider unacceptable language, and although it's not usually part of my vocabulary. It may happen when I feel emotional about something.
Still, it's no excuse. It is not my property, although I felt a sense of belonging here, which was nice, and it was cool to feel something like that. It's a privilege, not a right.
I apologize for using foul language, unless I am joking, it is not who I am as a person, and for insulting a member of the community's administration team, as well. There is no excuse for that, regardless of why I said it, and what my thoughts were at the time.
It's not how a gentleman should care, and like I said, iti s not who I am.
I was genuinely not flaunting, I never would. I said it to try and prove that I would never make people "beg" for anything, especially not money, and that I would never make it public, it wasn't meant to be anything else other than me saying that I will help those in need if I am able to. Nothing more, nothing less.
Humanity and dignity above all else.
