1. I've payed to post on this site 2. I didn't violate any TOS agreement 3. I didn't insult or attack anyone 4. I didn't use any vulgar language Quit being cry babies and leave my posts alone. Basically there's no excuse for deleting it other than "I just didn't like it", which is pretty weak.
This probably should have been posted in the feedback but more likely handled by email. Chewing them out publicly for this won't help your cause, dude.
You registered in 2003. This was way before the time it was mandatory to contribute, as I would put it. You pay to contribute to the site not post on it and it is a priviledge not a right and priviledges can be revoked as we have seen before. You sort of attacked some people on this board because there a many Potter fans on this board and you gave them no fore warning of spoilers from the new book so if what you said was true you basically ruined the book for them, as I said earlier. Next, it is pretty well known that the contents of the new Harry Potter book are a safeguarded secret, VERY SAFEGUARDED. If someone who were connected to the publishing of the book were to read the post then Clutch could probably face legal problems. You had no support in your thread, everybody pretty much posted negative replies. Quit whining and think before you post.
And... ... even if you're going to post spoilers, at least give people some warning. Posting spoilers without warning is way uncool (on any site, about any book/movie).
It also doesn't help that you have a chip on your shoulder rivaled only by the one that pgabriel bears.
Feedback is your friend. "Publicly" trying to bust the chops of the mods who run this board is foolish. Duck and cover, dude, or you may be wondering what hit you. Just some friendly advice. BTW, I didn't read your post.
For everybody that didn't read DHB's former thread it was a thread which contained possibly HUGE Harry Potter spoilers for the upcoming book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" but it remains to be seen if what was said is true or not.
Your intent with the HP thread was malicious, pure and simple. Just because you're staying within the TOS doesn't make it right.
Nice knowing you DHB. Related, I've noticed complainers always bring this up: "I paid money so I should get to post what I want." I kinda saw this coming; that people who make donations would start to feel entitled. It was a donation. It didn't buy you crap. You did it out of the goodness of your heart to help the BBS survive and prosper, remember?
Well, I'm glad that the hard drive on my laptop blew up now. I'd have hated to see the spoilers. I just finished Goblet of Fire up last night. Damn they are getting good. I started Order of the Phoenix this morning while waiting for some laundry to get done.
So by your logic because I paid to post on this site I can say whatever I want and tell you off for being a total dumbass and making DUMB threads?? NO, that is not the right way to go about things..
i didn't read the original thread, but i do find it quite humurous that this scafoo is about a freakin' harry potter book..... dorks!
Señor Beard... I think I hear you. Boy, do I hear you. I've made some silly if not stupid comments in the past. Don't you want, at least, a warning, or from an admin to say something like: "Hey, edit your post... reason blah is because reason blah blah blah. We believe that blah blah. Please edit your post. I don't want to close this thread but first bla blah your post." No? I would. I agree, if you paid, you have some privileges and if you mess up, you lose them. Surely if someone pays, the Admins should give some sort of warning.
