Gee what about those ad's I put on..HMMM never mind. LOL
Nice to get it all straight..Thanks


Dick

 

The only ads I put in my own sig are for things that I hope make FTE better, more entertaining, and more interesting

They are to our own forums.

 

here is a question for yall on infractions.

an infraction is issued for insulting another member because the moderator read the post the wrong way.
the infraction was not deserved, and the person that was supposed to be insulted agreed that it was a joke, not an insult.
so the infraction was reversed by the issuing moderator.

now the mentioned non-infraction took place almost 2 years ago now, but still shows up as a sort of slap in the face every time i open my user control panel for doing nothing wrong.

is this going to be a forever reminder to me that i was unfairly accused of doing something wrong??

 

Tom - in a word. Yes.
You are the only person that sees it

 

Two questions:
1. What's a site troll?
2. Tom, you're from Jersey and DIDN'T insult somebody???? Say it ain't so! Don't you know we have a reputation to uphold????

All kidding aside, I welcome this very well written post for the civility it helps maintain on this forum. It is a very big part of what makes this forum one of the very best, of any topic, to be found. I quit another forum (ElantraXD) because they not only insult newbies and "outsiders", but they wouldn't even post my nicely worded objection to them ripping another newbie a new one.....sheeesh. Their monitors screen every post before it will appear.
Thanks ya'll, and keep up the great work!

 

Adrian is a site troll.

If he stops you you have to answer three questions to keep posting - or offer him cookies if you are from the "dark side."

 

Its a "forum jargon" term.
It essentially describes someone whose whole purpose is to "stir up crap" and not contribute to the community in a positive manner.

An example would be someone who registers and says "All y'all Ford owners are flaming ^$#@!*$ and Dodge makes the best truck out there".
Apart from being wrong , they would be called a "troll".

 

no,no,no.
Adrian is not a troll..



he is the Ogre that gets rid of the trolls.

 

Ah, good term, thanks for clearing that up for me. I always heard them referred to in more common terms, like....well, you know!

 

What about an individual that was kicked off FTE permentently and then reregestered under another name and continues to commit the fraud - this has been pointed out to the mods and Admin time and time again.

 

Parole, maybe?

 

I always wondered how you guys worked around this.

Now that I know, it's like having the recipe for the eleven herbs and spices at KFC!!!

 

yup, very good comparison.

the only difference is this place don't leave a bad taste in yer mouth after yer finished.

 

True that, Tom!!

 

Entertaining to say the least.
