    Marcus,

    Your earlier thread broke 3 rules. First, it was a copy-and-paste of an email you sent to your list. That's rarely allowed.

    Second, it was an article in a discussion section. Also rarely allowed.

    Third, it finished with what looked like a sideways pitch for your webinars.

    I'm not sure how you thought it wouldn't be deleted...

    Don't play the victim - we all have posts deleted. Just move on. There's no conspiracy against you. Just play by the rules and everything will be fine.

      Or messages intended to create conflict, or to just get a reaction from the other posters.

      I already told you what was "bad" about the post. Not the content, up to the point of the pitch. It was a good commentary, in fact. But there are lots of good comments that don't belong in this section of this forum.

      Paul already told you 3 times now. The pitch at the end of your post, directing people to your signature to watch your webinars. That's paramount to simply linking to your site within your post, which isn't allowed. You should know better than that.

      Still broke the other two rules, and disabling the signature doesn't fix that.

      Threads get deleted all the time. Some are in the wrong section, many are articles, others are off topic, a bunch are spam, and some are pointlessly disruptive.

      Why would we delete those others that break the rules and not delete yours?

      If you don't care about getting traffic from your signature, then remove it, and there won't be a problem.

      I suggest you step away from your keyboard for a while to cool off. At this point, you very well may end up getting banned if you keep going on like this.

      Why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favor
      and magically DISAPPEAR for a short while?

      Then come back later when you've cooled off and taken
      the time to actually read the useful feedback that Paul
      and others have patiently given you.

      I don't think that you're a troll but you're not doing your
      reputation any favors by acting like a spoilt jackass.

      Marcus, as someone who has had threads banned in the past, as many others have. Sometimes I figured out why, and other times, I did not.

      I just would like to say, I understand the frustration it can cause at first, especially if you let the emotions roll. I like you it seems, usually like to have the last word, even if it is "."

      I just want to suggest that you relax, and calm down, if you have not already. This forum is in my opinion the absolute best forum for people to actually learn how to make money online. No where else can you find the information that is on this forum, at least from what I have found. And for sure the atmosphere here is cordial and helpful, compared to many other forums I belong to.

      You honestly do not want to get banned, you will regret it later. People will forgive and forget this thread, and the banter that has gone back and forth. Believe me, your not the only one that has done this. Many have, and are still here and reaping the benefits of this forum.

      Paul, as a moderator has been very cordial and understanding compared to many, many moderators on other forums. Many moderators wont even discuss why they do what they do.

      Your dealing with some of the most professional people here from all walks of life, as I am sure you are also.

      All the best,

      We care too. That's why we have as few rules as possible. It would not have been very difficult for you to have read the rules before you started posting, which is something you should do before joining any community.

      It's great that you want to contribute real value to this forum. We like to see that. But we also expect you to do so in such a way that doesn't come across as spamming, as we get a lot of that.

      I've had some of my posts deleted, or worse, completely ignored when I tried to pour my heart out to the community. But that hasn't stopped me from being a member or trying to add value.

      Even if your thread had not been deleted, there would have almost certainly been some members who would have disagreed with you, or would have even treated your post with contempt. Would you have let that stop you from being a member?

      Things do not always go the way you plan them to. That's life, and being able to deal with unexpected situations in a mature and intelligent way is an essential skill in business.

      If you can't handle the times when you get treated unfairly or even get kicked in the teeth, then you are in the wrong line of work my friend.

    Marcus,

    You could have said the same thing without pasting in an article or pointing to your signature. And that would have gotten you thanks, rather than being deleted.

    No-one has said there was anything at all wrong with the message you were promoting. The issue was with the way you did it.

      It's not up to the forum and mods to run around making sure you get what you want.

      That's not going to happen, even if it were possible, for the reasons already mentioned.

      Before you get tempted, I should point out that re-posting deleted threads is also seriously frowned on.

      That's actually an extra feature members can pay for. I think it costs something like $5 a month. An awesome deal in the right hands.

      And like others have said, it is not possible to repost something that has been deleted. That's against the rules. And for future reference, it's also against the rules to post about your post being deleted, due to the fact that such posts tend to be contentious.

        Actually, it does. More precisely, it matters that you're generally a constructive poster. That's why I explained the deletion. If you want to treat that courtesy as a slap, you're free to do so. The only effect that will have is to make it less likely to be extended in similar circumstances in the future.

            Translation:

            You're a good guy, which is why Paul took the time to explain why your thread was deleted instead of just deleting this thread and banning you, which is standard procedure.

            In short, he's doing you a pretty big favor. Normally the mods don't explain themselves, and they just delete threads that ask "why was my thread deleted?" and ban the offending user (in this case, that would be you).

            You can consider this a "slap in the face" if you want, but you shouldn't. You should be grateful to Paul. If you choose to keep going on about how unfair all of this is though, then the NEXT time this happens and you post a thread asking for an explanation, it's likely your thread will be deleted and you will be banned.

            Instead of getting an explanation like you are now.

    Marcus,

    Paul is being generously patient with you today. This isn't a "free speech" forum. It's not a democracy. Allen owns the forum and he makes the rules. If you don't like them, no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to stay here.

    As others have said, threads get deleted. Happens all the time. You won't accomplish anything by raising a fuss about it, except making yourself look bad.

    All of us are guests here. If we break the rules, we risk getting "escorted" (sometimes permanently) out of the forum. If you were to go to someone's home, wouldn't you assume that you need to abide by his or her rules?

    I hope the responses you've received have helped give you a better understanding of the expectations in this forum. But you hurt only yourself by continuing with sarcastic, juvenile responses.

          Here's how you do it:

          1) At the top of the page, there is a link called "User CP". Click it.
          2) From there, click on the link called "edit signature".
          3) Delete the text from your signature, then click on "save signature".

          Hope that helps make it more clear for you.

      I'm beginning to wonder if you are trolling. I'll try one more time though.

      You're entitled to share what you feel. However, you DID promote something. You promoted your signature in your post, which isn't allowed. You also broke a couple of other rules.

      The reason you're getting crap is because you're complaining about it, and despite the fact you were given a patient explanation, you are STILL complaining about it. That's not a positive way to handle things.

      Seriously! you're still pulling that crap after everything that's been said?

      Get over yourself.

      No-one had a problem with what you said in that thread. You know that.

      You're obviously feeling lonely and wanting attention so I feel sorry for you.

      Trying to bait the mods into deleting your account just so you can play the victim to 'the nasty mods' is a purile waste of time and in fact is probably affecting your mental health more than you realise.

      If you're getting kicks out of trolling the forum and being a baby then you really do have problems.

      You have 2 choices - take your medicine and then start getting the real value of the forum and people in it, or spit your dummy out, get yourself banned and then go join the pity party somewhere else and forever bitch about how the nasty forum doesn't like it when people say what they think.

      It's up to you - move forward or move backwards.

      There are people lining up to help you but if you want to piss them off and lose out then you're the only one losing on the deal.

    Joking aside, I think Marcus definitely has an undeserved sense of entitlement and apparently the inability to process simple explanations.

    He has been told a dozen times in very clear, concise language why his thread was deleted, and even where to go and post it if he wants it back up.

    Still, he can't seem to grasp the fact that this is NOT his forum, we do not abide by HIS rules, and that we DON'T care if he wants to have a temper tantrum and start a thread to whine.

    Marcus- You want to be deleted and banned? DO IT YOURSELF. It's called the "log out" button in your upper right hand corner. Use it. Or don't. No one cares.

      The funny thing is, not only is that a weak insult, it was also worded poorly.

      Marcus, I honestly feel sorry for you. It's a shame you've chosen to be like this. You could have been a credit to this forum, if you could have just let go.

      To be honest, I'm not even remotely upset at you, or that I put forth all this effort for nothing (on the face of it at least). I'm still going to have a good day, and if there's someone who needs help or needs someone to patiently explain the way things work around here, I'll still be happy to oblige.

      It doesn't happen often, but once in a while people wise up and clean up their act, both in life and on this forum. I should know, as I've been there myself. I've grown up a lot since I first joined this forum a few years ago.

      Well, hopefully that can happen to you too, Marcus. In the meantime, have a nice day. Keep on trolling at your own risk.
