In my humble opinion is not to be bad or good with an user, the problem is that we can't continue to come to the site and check persistently the posts of him. Everyone of us have his or her own life and can't dedicate a lot of time on "patrolling". As I already said about it in the thread, as long as Eve 4 is a part of a commercial product , the link to the file is obviously considered illegal, it's the same if I find a link to download Microsoft Windows XP and write it here saying that I find it for free, there's no differences. I don't mention the "moral" part of the matter but we could face big problems :uuh: ... Another strange thing, as mentioned by pangor, was to ask to a staff member to post a link to a discussion outside Posetteforever. dphoadley2 has clearly the capacity to do it himself, if he asked it he asked it for some kind of obscure reason, my opinion is that in that thread there were violation of our TOS but as I said a link outside PF is not a smart way to avoid our rules. I don't have the link aforementioned here but I'll write it later in this thread (when I'll find where I put it :oops: ) I said in another thread in this forum that we are facing the usual "porn lover". We talked about the topic a lot of times :roll: . I'm not a prude, but when I want to see a porn thing or a pornstar I go in one of the gazillions site on the net not on Disney, we discussed about it in a hard (...) way when we faced the "borgs" and I think that we find a nice, common solution. However, after pangor talked me about the problem my personal steps where to put him in "approval" status. it means that his posts has to be approved by the webmaster before posting and I'll keep him in this status for a period of time checking his behaviour. When he'll post a message the PF system send me a PM (I think Posy :heartbeat: do the job)and ask to watch the post for approval. I don't know if it send a copy to the other admins too, I think that it simply sends it to the user number 2 (the webmaster), so I'll have to do the job :roll: :crying: . Last consideration: we're a group of people that "works" in this site in their free time, we earn nothing from it but we give a lot to it so it can't be asked to us to spend a lot of time on checking this kind of things, expecially when a user got offended because of a warning or when he or she don't accept our TOS and search a way to avoid them (for example opening a discussion on another place and linking it here). I would know your opinions friends. I think that dphoadley2 will leave the site soon because he can't find here what he is searching. This is the PM I sent him yesterday, I've to go now, talk later. -------------------------------------------------- Hi Dphoadley2, you're acting here in a way that we don't think we can stand. You wrote a link to download illegally a product that it's sold as a commercial package then you posted picture of characters which textures were made of real people without asking for their permission. These people were pornstars. We simply think that you have not accepted our simple rules and so you're trying the limit of the site. If you're doing it you'll find that it will be very easy to reach it. We're an open community but we'll close as an oyster if we're attacked. You can see that we are not selling anything here so it's not a problem or a loss of money. You're not the first, you'll be not the last, we're tempered from this kind of situations, so you're warned. Regards and here is his reply Dear Sir: I am sorry, but I have absolutely no idea of what you're referring to. What commercial product? Eve 4. The momcat link is authorized by Traveler to dispense the figure freely among the public. If you wish I can show you momcat's communique' t that effect. As far as the faces are concerned, I've seen Dorks styled after leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock -Star Trek), Micheal 3's styled after Alan Blackman (Snape -Harry Potter), and at present there is a Posette figure in 'rosity's freestuff stylized after Melanie Sirtis (Deanna Troi -Star Trek); so in all due respect, I was acting in the good faith that such behavior is not only acceptable, but laudable for its artistic aspect. I would appologise, but I truly fail to see where I have done anything wrong. I remain, respectfully yours David P. Hoadley -------------------------------------------------------- So friends, what is your opinion ? Give him another chances or not? However he has already another another chance, we'll wait and see... Have a nice day :)
