Default A disgruntled member.

Let go by just by saying that the "don't ask" thread wasn't ment as a "bullcrap" thread. At the time the fold@home site was not counting my work unit. I was not sure it it was anything on my side or pimprigs, (which would account why previewing my sig did not work)therefore I started a thread to see if it was counted. I do not appreciate being put down by any of the members here. Nor the administrators support of this.

"DW is correct. Duck and I have let this go hoping it would die, but it didn't, so it is closed. If anyone starts another bullcrap thread like this it will be deleted and the thread starter will be dealt with privately by DuckWarrior." -BigAkita

Well, I was delt with by Duckwarrior, and I personaly don't think that it was very fair. A lot of people start threads for no reason or go "off topic" thats the point of having a "Anything Goes" posting forum.

Bottomline. Everyone is entitled to their own views, and maybe I put myself out on the line by posting that thread with nonsence, however my goal was stated a few posts later and it should of been respected, not criticized by anyone and CERTAINLY not put down for it by being called:

"ignorant"-Highperf15
"Drunk, High, Mentally Retarded".-Arkangyl
A sexual perv-Fu3lman
"What a ****ing loser".-BigAkita
"Is it a full moon or just that time of year for the "special" olympics.
Scratch that, even the kids that compete in the S.O. are more intelligent."-godfoot

Not to mention the things that where said about me (above) is Defamation Of Character. I took those things very seriously.

P.S. This is not a "bullcrap" thread, this is my response to my other thread that was shut down before I had the time to respond.

There is a difference in a thread being "off topic" and being started for no reason. You believe you had a valid reason to start your topic. I do not. I have been here for almost a year and i would never spam a thread out here like that. I don't own these forums. I am a member of them so I will use them for there intended purposes, not to see if my sig works.


Second, you have over a hundred posts so you may have been here for a while. You probably have seen other people get flamed for worthless posts. Why did you not expect to get flamed? We have all been flamed at least a little bit. So either grow a skin and deal with it or watch what the heck you post for it not to happen again, the choice is yours.

You as well should be able to read posts, mine was not directed at you but some of the other stupid comments in that thread, but if you still believe it then you can have it now.

Well, firstly you should have made your intentions known when you were posting the thread. You could have added one more sentence explaining your actions, and I'm pretty sure it would have been acceptable. But even then, you could have just posted somewhere to see if it was working. Or even better than that, just checked your previous posts and looked at your sig to see if it was counted. There was pretty much no reason for a bullcrap thread in the first place.

Secondly, to state that it was possibly PR's fault for it not counting would be ignorant, especially when many others folding sigs work fine. Folding takes a few hours to recognize the WU and update the stats.

Thirdly, I dont see what lasting damage this has done, except for perhaps your rep. But to me, thats your own dang fault from starting the worthless thread in the first place. Your post count is still up, and your not banned. To say that that was harsh, would be a bit strange to me unless Duck physically came to your house and beat you up or something. Saying your post was the same as many other threads in the Anything Goes forum would be pretty stupid to me as well. Granted, there have been a few, such as the "Kyle" thread, but that was also dealt with the same way. Look to that for your example of how we deal with such threads. Your thread had no value in any way, and that would be a waste of bandwidth not only for Glitterkill, but also to the 56k people out there. Us broadbanders didnt see the waste of bandwidth perhaps, but it was a waste of good time trying to figure out what the hell you were trying to do.

PR has always been a close, hard core, no BS community. If you cant handle the flames, dont stay to get burned.

The Don't Ask thread wasnt enough was it? You had to double post this thread too?

Whichever way you were dealt to by DuckWarrior I am confident his actions were fair.
Defamation Of Character can be part of the process.
It didn't have to be, you have no one to blame but yourself for that.

Stick to what you know, don't post bullsh!t, and this won't happen again.

Do you feel we were too harsh with you? That's too bad, we'll be careful about your sensitive feelings in the future. In the meantime just grab a tissue and go cry in a corner somewhere.

If you think the mods here or anywhere will appologize for their actions you should not join forums, oh and if you come to MHQ I will deal with your crap posts the same way Duck and BA did here, As a mod there I know exactly how hard their jobs can be. If you double post a thread expect to be flamed about it cause no one whants to sift through two of the same thing...

Granted I should of made my intentions at first post, I was wrong there, however my intentions where posted shotly after. And there still was a onslaught of things that should have not been said. There is a diffrence between flamming someone and "draging it out".

There was a thread created to test sigs before GK made the decision to use private galleries for that purpose.

Second, you could've just clicked "quick links" then select "my profile". That'll preview your sig in a hurry

Third, if you seriously hold your reputation here as that high of a deal, you need a couple of chill pills. It's the internet.

Nice try, Members in your standing do not possess the power to give reputation points.

Perhaps you have an inaccurate view on the rep system? Whether or not you gave me +/- rep for my posts
in the past, it would have no effect on the negative rep I have appropriately given for your spam thread.

If youve been here for soooo long then why didnt you know to go back to one of your last posts and see if it worked alright.

You wanna talk about legal standings because someone poked fun at you? What are you gonna say in court, "Ummm sir the accused persons have slandered my made up name, and on top of that have told me im a stupid noob!" Get ready to get laughed out of court buddy cause nobody is gonna feel bad for a cry baby with hurt feelings. The door is the best solution for you. Oh yea just so you can take my ass to court also, EAT **** CUMDUMPSTER.

BTW thanks for the entertainment tool.

This is America - land of the free. If your a disgruntled member then become a disgruntled EX-member. Nothing keeping you hear. If you feel your being abused then leave. Your kinda like women that get beat by their husbands, I dont feel sorry for the ones that keep coming back for the abuse.

That aside I havent read the thread or saw any of the "abuse" that your character received but the tone you took in your above posts are going to lead me to believe you will continue getting said "abuse". Take the abuse or leave. Most all of use have been "abused" at one point or another.

Uhmm....This is a completely anonymous internet forum. You could post that you are a homosexual hermaphrodite midget and it would have no bearing on your real life. Anything said here is completely anonymous to the public, so any lack of good reputation here, stays here.

Try and scare me with your legal crap some other time.

Wasnt that the first day? I dont think anyone would find it odd for someon on the first day a forum is opened to be testing their sigs. That would be a great time to work out bugs and issues in the forum. However, this is clearly not the first day. You have been here for a long time, and should realize your actions have consequences. And no, we dont cater to special cases.

If you want to fallback on "the system" to support you, make sure it's on your side first.
