Try it, I dare you
This is kind of way OT Art, but related: I've been on a short leash after mentioning one of those sites in a PM. I even had a post from Ken in the related thread. He didn't want copyrighted material on his site...OK.

It seems like the longer I'm here, the less functionality I have within the site: No email or PM option, no search, I can't even "find all posts" by any user. The whole thing seems kind of fickle to me, makes me reluctant to pony up $15 for a membership, especially since I'm cheap to begin with.

So I guess my question is, how much of this is because I'm too cheap to become a supporter, and how much is because I PO'd the Webmaster?

Respectfully, Mike

If you're taking copyrighted information from another source and just pasting it here, that's not allowed.

But linking to another site, again, unless it was a site that was actively recruiting users from FTE, I don't think there is a problem anymore.

How long ago was that?

To FFR428, PM me that link, and I'll get an OFFICIAL statement about it's being allowed or not.

thanks

Here's a link Art. I can live with the bad-boy stigma...I'll just keep my head down and my big mouth shut while I can still log on. Since you are asking for specific info, I listed <!-- Ford bananna ification in a PM. --> FTE Staff note: no deliberate by-passing of site filters, EVER. That's how I deduced the site filters content.

The whole deal just seemed kind of abrupt to me. I can't see a check for $15 making much difference.

JMHO, yours may differ.

Well, as I said, posting copyrighted information is NOT allowed. Period.

I think that covers that thread you posted pretty clearly. There's no arbitrariness to it, it's all about copyrighted material being posted.

But the link to the other site, I'm still waiting for

What is odd to me is that I did not post any material in the thread. I did not post any link to another site. I typed the site's name in a PM.

If the powers that be consider that posting copyrighted material, OK, whatever...lesson learned. There is too much laughing, smiling and having fun for me to get all butt-hurt over the deal.

Thanks for giving this your time Art.

1. We do not monitor PMs. I'd rather watch grass grow than spend god knows how many hours a day reading the dozens (or more, not sure but there are 400K PMs in the system) of PMs sent daily through FTE. Putting 2+2 together doesn't take a rocket scientist or "monitoring" PMs.
2. Deliberately by-passing a filter: never a good idea. The system traps that.
3. Other resource links: allowed. This particular one: not allowed. The owner spammed FTE with over 300 links in his posts, then lied about it in a public cry me a river rant.

Ken, thank you for clearing this up.

I think that says everything that needs to be said.
