So, if you are new, if you have a bad day, I shall edit out country of origin if you include it by mistake.  And, save your post count.

Members of this thread, I am afraid a few of u r scared off.

If you are discussing the comms (communications with a vendor,) or the quality of a product u received, (admin of steel said: u don't have to post what u receive,) please do so.

I won't ban u for that. I shall edit, or leave it be.

We are losing members I feel because of strictness.

We are losing our family values.

I, for one, want to be able to say Hello to barq in the thread he posts in the most.  Hello to Dusko in hers.

And, hear Snappy's opinion. And, like many of you, I love to see you give high praise to our vendors such as Dusko.  Top ten.  ppe2u.  Macro Mass.  SS4u.

Ok?

But, for topics totally off the wall, or comparing two vendors etc, please use the special area our Moderator Athena created.

Now, don't go bananas on me.  No jabberwocky in vendor threads.  Many want to jump on, get the info and jump off.  But, now, with new posting mandates, people will post:  Dusko is the best.  Its standard practice.

It allows the vendor to interact well with the client.

Deal? Let us be family again. And, feel comfortable. And, see how it goes.

its a machine that automatically edits out ur account.

my co admin of steel will know if there is a way to mark ur account so its not deleted again.

but, i have no help right now.  i cannot go through every account.  so, we let the machine handle this.

however, ADMIN OF STEEL, IS THERE A WAY TO HIGHLIGHT CERTAIN PERSONS WHOM HAVE SCHOOL OR RESPONSIBILITIES?

(but, in all honesty,50 posts, in 45 days, is not so bad.  and thereafter, once a month will keep u a member.  can u try teddy? if u get ur first fifty, then most can handle A short post once a month thereafter.)

we have way too many whom come here and don't post.

unless my co admin has some tricks up his sleeve, i am afraid i cannot keep track of all the people I do know.


we shall try our best Teddy.  u r a good member.

You have the wisdom of Solomon.

And, such compassion.  

YO:  PEOPLE:  IMPORTANT RULE ADJUSTMENT.  YOU NOW HAVE 100 DAYS TO GET UR FIRST FIFTY POSTS.  cool, huh?

and, we lost those whom spent no time here with our initial purging.

great idea, and, as always, we r both tough but compassionate.  We both know how to go with the flow, mr. admin.

really nice.
