Hello,

The Moderation Team officially asks you through this pm to stop promoting blocking entire country range.

If you do not follow this request, we will have to take action.
This goes from simply deleting your related posts to temporary or even definitive ban.

Please keep in mind, membership in this community is voluntary, so the decision to stay is completely up to you.

We are happy to have you, we just ask that you play by the Moderation Team requests and the Forum rules.

Regards,

My point brad, leaving aside the specious argument "promoting banning country ranges" is this.
If my comments (and commenting) is not violative of the TOS/Registration agreement, where do these immoderate moderators see fit to add their own personal terms to a previously agreed to 'contract'?

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum



Of course, 1+1=4 (inaccurate), I am (mostly) male (sexually oriented), I am over 18 (adult material), I quite enjoy that meaty sandwich maker (Spam),

And, furthermore, I invite you to HELP ME (1) erect a billboard (2) to gather supporters to build an ARK(3) in Egypt (4) (send this post to 20 of your friends or 60 of your enemies (5)

1. Solicitation for aid.

2. Billboard-Advertising

3, 4 . Build ARK in Egypt, FLOODING, PYRAMID

5. Send post....Chain letter.


It seemed all a bit too Orwellian, and by Orwellian I mean Animal Farm, not 1984 :D
