as I did not had a chance to answer to MW post in the original thread,
so here it:
"The facts:
-the Mods and Fred have received considerable feedback from the PERB membership that they found vancouverman's excessive posting annoying"
and I'm really sorry that your PM box is overflowing with complains, but at the same time, I received lots of positive feedback here, and in chat, that it is a great idea. That people do look forward to see pictures and videos. That this is a fairly safe way for them to see it, without connecting to porn websites.
Which side is right .. the complaining one, or the applauding one.
"The facts:
-vancouverman has been asked on numerous occasions by both the Mods and Fred(1) to limit his video/pic threads"
recently .... once by FredZ, and I believe once by one of the mods. So the numerous, can be changed to two. I know .... numerous, just sounds better.
And what was the agreement? ..... I will post no more than 5 or 6 new threads a day. On an average it was true. I know, some days .. I went over this .... and on other days I posted less. Right... yesterday I posted 6 new threads ..... ohhh, and the ax has fallen.
"The facts:
-vancouverman agreed to respect those requests but after a day or two would return to the same behavior"
as I said above ..... if you take the average of new threads posted..
and what can I say ..... I'm easily amused, and excited.. so I like to post what I find .... sorry
"The facts:
-the Mods have given vancouverman a number of very short (15-30 min) bans to remind him"
hmmmm ..... it happened ONCE before ... so the words number of can be replaced with word one to make the sentence right. (it is also possible, they were so short, I did not noticed them) The picture that YOU are painting here.. is that I'm a notorious bad boy .. maybe I'm.
But you are right in saying that ban was short before, and I got a nice e-mail from MOD who banned me, explaining why. ( and I really appreciate it )
"The facts:
-after careful consideration vancouverman was temporarily banned this morning to reinforce that our requests were in fact serious"
Just a little correction, the banning happen in the late afternoon.
"The facts:
-as stated previously the ban was temporary and after appx 12 hours it's been lifted"
in fact it was lifted after less then 4 hours, as the PERB server clock is totally off, and my banning supposed to last only till midnight.
All the above was just fun and light comments, but here is my biggest problem with MW post.
Posting a private correspondence between FredZ and myself, was totally wrong. If FredZ CC you on his PM, fine.... read it, and keep it... you can even act on it.... but unless, I say I never received it.... I do not think, you have right to post it. I believe Modicus BANNED one of the users, and part of the reason was ....... POSTING A PM.
Now .... did you get a copy of my answer?
I said.... I agree I went overboard, but I also said posting pictures and videos does NOT increase the bandwith usage. If this would be the case .... "leaching" or "hot linking" would not be the problem on the Internet.... and it is.
So .... as much as I can see... excessive posting might cause some people to shake their heads, but it will NOT cause any additional cost in bandwith to PERB. If you look at the PERB stats page, you will see that number of visits and number of hits increase at the same time, so increase bandwith usage is definatelly the reason of PERB being more and more popular.
Thank you for reading my 2c.
I think it might be a very exciting weekend for me, and all is Squirrels fault .....
