  • I still don't have the emblem I was supposed to get. I don't care how it looks I just want it.
    Thanks! And that is weird that we've never talked. Since you're a fan of Borderlands, that means we are super mega awesome friends! :D
    Thanks :)
    Would you do me a favour and give me some feedback?
    I know you will be honest thats why im asking, you don't have to do it now, whenever your free :)
    Ignore my prior VM. I figured out that you don't use the entire URL. D'oh. Embedded Jambo's video for him in a post a few down from his; if he moves the code to his post I'll delete that from mine.
    What are the restrictions now in place for posting Youtube videos in your posts? Jambo tried here and I tried to help as well (see deleted post saying "WTF?"). It seems when you use the "youtube" tag, the "url" tag installs itself around the link. This means no one can embed video.

    This could be a problem for hackmakers in particular, but I'd imagine people who have been active for a while should be trusted to post videos once in a while if it's on topic to the discussion. Say, with 100 posts, or more like 500 if you are skeptical. :)
    That's fair enough, i don't want to cause any trouble that's not why i'm here, so i'm sorry.
    I sent fireworks a pm just to end this, it was just stupid the things i said and they wern't called for.
    Oh i saw that dr fuji hasn't been on for a few days so would you be able to re-open my thread, please.
    Thanks man :)
    Understood. I think I've seen one case of a deleted post from me in the past, myself (and whatever that was I have no clue now either, but I think it was a reply to a post that was deleted hence why mine was also deleted; rarely do I try to go off-topic on my own unless I can tie what I'm talking about into the discussion), and if there are oithers I can't see them, or I'd have to search back through pages to find them, which isn't something I feel like doing. LMAO I do take things to VM - or even PM - when I feel it appropriate (note I didn't reply to your warning post in the thread asking what you meant there), and being one of those thirty-somethings who started playing Pokémon (i.e. not a young pipsqueak with no regard for rules), was just taken aback from what looks like calling me out for some kind of childish behaviour.

    I know once in a while I might post something outlandish - heck, I'm sure most everyone does. However, it's not meant to be spammy and extremely rare that I mean it controversially (I've even put disclaimers on posts saying that if I later thought it might be taken that way! LMAO). I'm sure a couple of the things deleted but not in my memory may have been unnecessary in the first place. I guess I just try to be friendly or at least try to give an answer to something, ending the discussion therein, even if it is off-topic. Please don't think I'm trying to cause trouble; even if I do indirectly do so, just let me know what's going on and I'll try to personally rectify whatever situation I cause if I need to. (Heck, I made two posts that contradicted each other in one of diego's threads and had to backpedal-edit one of them completely; looks like a badly written English paper. :D )
    Oh, that was just me trying to be funny. I do that regularly. I don't do it to spam, and I rarely do it on its own; it's just my posting style and how I post. Besides, if you think about it, that's the kind of joke that would have made no sense being sent as a VM.

    It actually surprises me some of the things that get deleted around here (I have already abandoned the New Members forum - or whatever it's called now - because my way of welcoming members was not considered "proper" or somethink with my greetings being hard-deleted). It almost seems my friendly posting style isn't a match for this community, which has come across as being "all business, all the time, don't be yourself" in several places already. Which is a shame. While I'm not one to tell people how to do their job, I've been around different communities since 2001 (Poké and otherwise, mostly otherwise) and have always seen a little off-topic discussion doesn't kill a thread (if anything, it provides a little humour or a chance for members to get a better feeling of who a person is outside of "business"); too much can, of course, murder it. I actually laughed at Ash's reply to the "tests Monday" post; it was a chance to be not serious and have a little fun. What's wrong with that? Heck, one hockey forum I've joined is all about the one-liners; threads tend to stay on topic or get back on topic quickly, and I've never seen posts deleted (that I know of, I'm sure true spammers - "Hey, have I got a deal for you" types - vanish quickly or simply get ridiculed).

    There's a butter zone to aim for with something like that; just killing the first off-topic post and any replies to it is not the way I'd go, and I think it's easier to lose members that way. Not saying any of the members in this case will do that, and again not trying to tell anyone how to do a moderating job (and yes, I was once a moderator at two communities, though a few years or so ago, so I can see why one would think I'm barking orders), but hopefully you catch my drift here as to how unwelcoming this deleting posts business can actually be, even to veteran members (I still don't think I qualify as that designation either LMAO). Again, I forget what alienhunter's post was about, but I also didn't know it would have been deleted, so I was trying to be light-hearted in replying to it; being classified as a spammer actually does hurt.
