    Nobody wants to read your posts. Except a few people who've figured out what you're up to and are having fun laughing.

    I think this is bound to be deleted as well. You could have sent the moderators a private message about this matter. Anyway, I'll try to answer your question. One of the reasons why your threads have been deleted is because whatever question you have in it may have already been asked or whatever stuff you share in it may have already been shared before you did.

    There is a button in the navigation that says "search", it allows you to "search".

    Your threads are not contributing to new discussions, it's been done here before.

    Maybe you started those threads in the wrong forum... and it was probably moved. Try searching for the post with the title.

      No - I rarely click on links from posters like him...I don't like adding another visitor to their stats; it just encourages them.

      Since I am member of 15 of the biggest forums, I know there are 100 or 200 regular members in each forum who try to dominate the forum by complaining to moderators and get other people's posts deleted and also ban.

      They do this so that they survive in the forum and continue their useless postings and brainwash people for their own benefit.

      Whenever a intelligent member starts posting, these people fear for their survival and they try to ban the important member.

            I don't know how you do that Bill but I'm overwhelmed at your ability to predict the future. I'm just completely blown away.

            Incidentally, were you one of the people that recognised Chris as an intelligent being and then got into action to ban and remove him, as you felt your future survival being threatened and your iron grip on power weakening with every mind numbingly intelligent thread that was posted?

            I know I did.

          A member who is desperately banned or posts deleted, is a intelligent member.

          Think of year 2008 presidential elections in USA. Somebody was desperately voted out.

            But you're still here. No ones "desperately" banned you.

            Does that make you stupid and fighting for survival like the rest of us?

            Explain two things:

            1. Why is someone intelligent if they are desperately banned and their posts are deleted? How do the external actions of others determine the intelligence level of another?

            2. Explain how someone was desperately voted out in the 2008 US elections. Actually, just explain how someone was voted out in 2008. Disregard the assertion of "desperately." (Mods, this is not meant as a political question. The answer has nothing to do with politics.)

    Simple solution, really.

    At the top of all your posts you need to write:

    Moderators, this is IMPORTANT. Do NOT delete this post.

    Otherwise, how will the mods know your post is important if you don't specifically tell them just how important it is? And how will they know not to delete your posts if you don't specifically tell them that your posts should NOT be deleted?

    Hope that helps...

        This knob has already been banned under a different
        username on this forum at least once before (can't
        remember the username though, but I do remember
        the whacko website).

        NEWSFLASH...

        The reason your threads are being deleted is because
        the vast majority of people here have ZERO interest
        in reading them.

        They may be important to you (and a few others) but
        they have NO importance to the only people who matter:
        contributing members of this forum.

        Go and copy and paste your threads on the other forums
        where you believe the people actually give a damn.

    Are you kidding me? Wheres the interaction in that strategy, hmm??

    I could see 1 or 2 scenarios when you've already written some giant wall of text on the subject.

    But copy/pasting 100 posts per day?

    If you don't want your posts being deleted, then try to make sure you're contributing something of interest/value to the forum. No one needs to read through spam and pointless posts, we've all got better things to spend our time on.

    Before I start a new thread I do a quick search and 9 times out of 10 there's already a similar thread out there, so no need to start a new one.

    Sometimes it's good to leave threads like these up for a while to remind /inform others of the rules.

    I find irony in the OP's logic. This is a member-moderated forum, so if people really did want to read his or her posts they wouldn't be getting deleted.

      Atleast 60% members have to say "they do not want my posts" only then my posts should be deleted.

      If 60 people here say "delete his posts" and they get deleted, does this mean this forum has 100 members only.

        You don't get to make the rules. Trust me. Your posts were crap and at least 60 people would agree, but it doesn't take 60 people to agree here. So deal with it or leave. No one will care either way.

                I replied by posting "look what is behind you in the picture". There was raging Fire behind Obama in the picture.

                Since then Obama is running here and there.

                          That's because we'd be standing around talking about ways to monetize it, like upselling the EMT service and morphine.

                        I think it's a bit like Scheherazade, with Paul Myers playing the part of King Shahryar.

                        Unlike the Persian tale, though, there's usually a head-lopping at the end.

                        Did Seinfeld ever catch on in the UK? - I know they screened it at some weird time slot in the middle of the night.....:confused:

                          Oh yes it caught on alright. It used to be on around 6pm on Sky one. I used to love it. I must admit I've not seen it for while but it certainly used to be popular.

                          I know Jerry Seinfeld does some stand up gigs here quite often too.

                            Great. I'm a Brit transplanted to the USA who grew up on Monty P, Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp and Black Adder. It's one of the few US comedies I find funny

                              Ah excellent! They are all well up on my list, especially Fawlty Towers and Black Adder. I've just been watching the making of "Only Fools and Horses", it's remarkable how posh they are considering their characters.

                              ...in fact, sad as it is, I downloaded the first six episodes of Fawlty Towers onto my Iphone for traffic jams and other "just in case" moments!

                              How long have you been there?

                                Yeah, I watched the OFAH documentary split up into 6 parts I think, on YouTube. I was sad when John Sullivan died a little while back, what a talent, keeping it evolving and funny for all those years.
                                We don't get many Brit-coms on mainstream TV over here, Ab Fab is about the only comedy we get on a regular basis. Americans mostly have a very different SOH than Brits
                                15+ years now, haven't been 'home' in 14.

                                  14 years? Crikey, you must have lost your accent by now. I think you made the right move though. I plan on getting out of here this year if possible, I'm going to Sydney though, I've family there.

                                  Ab Fab is another classic. You've spurred me on to have a comedy night tonight! Cheers!

                      Five gets you 8 it already happened but I'm not a mod so can't check IPs.

                      The sad part is it didn't need to be this way. It may be the result of some course somewhere saying "go post on the warrior forum and get a sig link to get some link juice" which is not even current anymore. It may have been just not getting exactly how the forum works ( I have made a mistake or two in forums before) which could simply be solved by honestly explaining yourself and even apologizing if necessary (as I did once in another forum).

                      As far as I can tell the WF is not a hostile environment at all, unless you work hard at making it so. Even then it's usually a fairly civil place. You misbehave badly, but have a history of beibng a good contributor you get a seven day ban to relax and think about it. Has happened before to a few people here and they have come back with a cool head. Go the other way ( the hot headed one) and you are bound to simply end out of here.

                      Funny thing is, you read a number of threads for a day or two before you start posting and you "get" how the forum works a.k.a. you contribute positively (doesn't have to be with knowledge if you are new to this, good questions are often as welcome as good answers) and you build your reputation, just as you would in real life. You would not go to a conference and behave like an immature prankster and expect people to laugh at your jokes and give you a hand setting up your million dollar enterprise. You behave correctly, ask questions you would like answered, network with people and get to know them et voila! yu are in!

                      Doesn't need to be difficult at all, which makes you wonder what some people have in their head when they show up here.

                      This wasn't even close to some of the worst cases I've seen here but after a while the tolerance levels for people who want to mess with you drop dramatically.

                    I think I will post in warrior forum for 1 month only and then I will leave because I have to take care of 15 biggest forums. So do not try and stop me.

                    I am just having discussions and sharing informations. I have a website so understandably I will post it in my signature.

                      Don't be afraid at all. As long as you have questions to ask, information to give, and the ability to engage in productive/enjoyable conversation you are WANTED here.

                      The "public flogging" you are seeing is because this guy has been going around posting nonsensical threads that promoted a product in his signature link (and from what I hear it was a horrible website).

                      My guess would be that the thread is up and the conversation is continuing because, like you said, a lesson can be made of it.

                      I don't have to (or really want to) try to stop you. If you cannot be a productive member, you will quickly stop yourself. Also remember this: signatures are a privilege and not a right. This holds true here and I'm sure it does on your "fifteen biggest forums" as well.

                Wait! Is there really supposed the be a Mag. 9 earthquake? Not counting the one that was just in Mexico?

                Great! I JUST got my chimney fixed from the one in Virginia in August (it was 3 miles from my house), the aftershocks have just recently stopped, and my youngest two children have just stopped screaming when it's time to go to bed.

                  Not guaranteed. There is a contingent of geologists who believe that the 7.6 in Mexico is signaling the beginning of a cycle in the Pacific Rim that will end up producing a 9.0 magnitude quake. Guaranteed? I wouldn't say so. Of course I haven't read any evidence they have and I know little to nothing on the topic, so I'd rather be prepared to see it happen than unprepared.

                  Of course, it could just be another conspiracy theory passed through secondhand "sources". Who the heck really knows?:rolleyes:

          When I saw the title, I thought it was a funny satire about people getting upset for deleting their content. It was shocking to see it was not a satire.

          mmmmm

          things are simple... this looks like a public place, but it is not. It is a private place, and someone is nice enough to open the doors of his house for us to chat.

          it is still a private place... threads are deleted anytime the owner of the house exercises the right to do it.

          there can be general rules, and there are. And each of us can agree or not with them. But it doesn´t matter.

          I have a forum, and one of the rules is No marketing... any of the threads from here would be deleted over there, as any of the threads over there would be deleted over here.

          Makes sense?

          Your threads are deleted because they offend in some way the owner of the house. I would be apologizing instead of complaining.

      Actually, I think we're being too nice. When someone comes into this community and has a blatant disregard for the rules (they are very obvious and promimently displayed as stickies) and then continues on in an arrogant manner, they are going to get called out on it.

      Two West Virginia rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is."

      The second hunter says, "I don't know, let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."

      The first hunter says, "There's this old automobile transmission here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see".

      So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it in the hole.

      They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.

      As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole and with no hesitation, jump in head first.

      While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up.
      "Say there," says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?"

      The first hunter says, "Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about a hunert miles an hour and jumped head first into this here hole!"

      The old farmer said, "That's impossible. I had him chained to a transmission!"

    I had a thread moved to it's proper board just the other day. If I had thought for half a second before posting I would have knew it was in the wrong section. My bad. I made a moderator have another problem to deal with.

    I thought this was what happened to your threads. I was wrong. Upon a quick board search I noticed the "pampas ass/idiot" board no longer existed. Just when the idiot subforum was about to make me king.

    I am sorry but I have to say that I have been laughing so hard through this thread. I normally just thank whoever started the thread or a specific post but every BUT the OP has given some really good comments. I sent a PM to Big Mike saying that I have learned from this thread because I have started a thread that was already asked elsewhere so sorry for that mistake.

    I do have another question since all the mods are looking at this thread.

    As you can see in my sig, I have a link that yes looks like a aff link but it isn't. The website is mine but I was using a "pretty link" plugin link to track which forums I get the most traffic from. If someone has a different suggestion on the tracking without making it look like an aff link...I am open to it because I do want to follow the rules.
    *My sig has been deleted a couple of times because people did not look at the website, just the link, and thought it was an aff link..

    Thanks,
    John

    I think a good deterrent would be for the mods to mark one of these posts each day as the 'water cooler'.

    You know, change the title like so "Water Cooler - Moderators, why are you deleting my important threads?"

    Then it would be an open house where people could swing by and hurl abuse at the OP whilst having off-topic chats about the price of fish or whatever.

    Kinda like a public flogging but everyone turns up wearing hats with bells on.

    Then at the end of the day just lock it and wait for the next outbreak

      You've got my vote on that one.

      Do you think on the days when we get more than one Christopher Columbus that we could somehow merge the threads? Maybe even a water cooler sub forum?

      I'm going to find some bells and make a hat.

    Well at least we have moderators that care! Or else there would be chaos in our community.
    In my mind, they're just doing their job.

      In terms of being able to advertise it in your signature link, it needs to be a product or service that you originally created, from concept to sale. At least this is how I understand the rule.

      Hi John,

      First up, I can see you're an honest person and you're not trying to bend the rules so, as the mods are a jolly busy bunch I'll do my best to explain what I believe is the issue.

      The site as I saw it was a template site. So lots of others have the same site and it has the purpose of selling that affiliate product. What I mean is, you can sell that product but you need to have your own domain (which you do) and your own site that you made, designed, wrote etc. Not something the affiliate owner gave you or a template they gave you to put on the site.

      The fact others have the same site and the fact it's a template site is against the rules.

      Joe, I'm afraid I believe you're wrong in the sense that the product has to be something you created, that's true in the WSO section but I could have a site I made in my signature that was a presell to an affiliate product but not a template I got for becoming the affiliate or buying the product. It has to be a site I made. The product I'm selling doesn't have to be mine.

      My link is to a product squeeze page that I purchased from Liz Tomey to be a launch of my list building efforts.
      THIS ^^^^

      It's a template. This isn't allowed.

      Now how is that different from someone that outsources their product creation and labels it their own and puts a link in their sig file??
      I really can see where you're coming from. However, if I can't build a squeeze page and outsource it and pay for it, it's mine and no one else has it. It's not a template the affiliate vendor has given out to all their affiliates. It's my own site.

      ....If that makes sense. (and if I got that totally wrong delete this post and I stand corrected )

    @Joe,

    hey thanks for responding to my question. Due to your post I went back to the rules under the Main Internet Marketing Discussion Forum and the first rule says no Affiliate links. My understanding of affiliate links are links to websites that you do not own, of products you did not create.

    My link is to a product squeeze page that I purchased from Liz Tomey to be a launch of my list building efforts. I have a receipt for it. Now how is that different from someone that outsources their product creation and labels it their own and puts a link in their sig file?? That is where my confuse lies and is the reason for my question. I used a "pretty link" for help in tracking purposes and not meant to hide anything.

    I am only posting this question for clarification and understanding. I am not being argumentative in any way...so please do not misunderstand my constant rebuttals. I did see that things can be deleted for any reason without explanation. I get that, but this is a legit link for business building purposes. That is why I am questioning it.

    Thanks for responding again.

    John

      The problem is that it's a template site that is used
      by many other people on the Internet.

      Template sites are not allowed.

      Otherwise, we'd get an influx of people posting here
      just to drive traffic to the template site in their sig
      file (and many of those post useless one-liners).

      Sure, it's your domain. But it's not unique content.

      Dedicated to mutual success,

    Richard,

    You were right and I was wrong. That's what I get for posting without actually doing the fact checking first :rolleyes:.

    I found this tidbit to be the most relevant to this specific case:

    If you want to promote an affiliate program do it on your own domain. Your own web site. Not a "pre-made" web site. Your own web site, a real one. Then put THAT web site in your sig file.
    So pretty much (and I'm saying this without ever actually getting to see the asker's site so I could still be horribly wrong) you linking to a template page on your own domain that is directly selling that affiliate product is a no no.

    What Richard said was right, and where my original point went off. If you were to have your OWN domain and your OWN website that happened to presell to an affiliate program or link to it that would be OK. On this forum though you cannot link straight from sig to affiliate program.

    There, I think I got it right this time lol.

      Joe,

      Don't ever stop posting. The amount of fall off chair moments I've had with some of your images you post has been splendid.

      Besides, I like to try and be wrong at least once an hour, where possible.

    @Richard Van, @Shaun O'Reilly and @Joe,

    Gentlemen...thank you for being courteous to respond and helping me understand.
    I will get my site changed so that I can use the products and have an original squeeze page system.

      I tell you one thing John, if everyone was as decent and above board as you've been, it'd make the mods lives a whole lot easier and this place a whole lot better.

      Good for you and good luck, if I can help you in any way, drop me a message.

      EDIT - And what a nice ending to what was a badly started thread.

      I try to never be gone too long (although this last stretch was three months); but I'll always come back to entertain the forum while I'm welcome.

      My images are liked?! Sweet.

      Rules get broken all the time. Hell, I've broken the rules here before (and even had a short ban once for posting affiliate links in signatures too). I'm sure almost everyone has a story they can tell in that regard.

      The difference between you (and everyone else who is still here) and people like the OP is that you are willing to admit you're wrong and take the proper steps to fix it instead of whining incessantly. For that you are congratulated by me.

      Best of luck buddy and hope you get a sig link you can use figured out!

    @Richard,

    This thread is a perfect example of how people need to think of others besides themselves. I would be discourteous and rebellious of how my mother raised me...

    Not saying other's mothers taught them differently. But courtesy goes a long ways for anyone if they take the time.

    John

    P.S. Thanks again guys.
