Before you continue to read, please please please know that the purpose of this post is not to create drama. The veterans can back me up on that. I'm posting this because, well, it really blew me away. Maybe it isn't news to you guys, but maybe it is...

Atum was not amused by my previous blog entry, and my account was restricted from posting for a few hours. I was flabbergasted, and immediately consulted the EM411 rules to figure out where my blog had gone wrong. Unfortunately, the rules yielded no answer: "When commenting, if you have nothing positive, constructive or useful to say, don't say it. Your post will be deleted and you will eventually be restricted from posting." Does the same go for blogs? We can't say anything that isn't unicorn shit and candy canes? That seems off.

Enforcement of the rules is one thing, but this is something else. Aside from an obviously gross and biased overreaction, it seems fucked up that the rule-enforcer punishes me for allegedly flaming, then flames me quite nastily in the warning message. Nothing I've ever posted on this website could hold a candle to that sneering affront.

I realize re-posting the warning message could seal the fate of my account. I'm getting the distinct impression that this community may no longer be ruled as it was in years past. Perma-ban isn't what I want...I feel disappointed more than anything else.

flaming - what sucks is the people who talk shit. go sign more "autographs". haven't heard of you ever, apparently youre a self proclaimed website connoisseur. but all your are doing is crying about default features found on almost every commercial site.its obivious you know nothing about this site or others on the internet for that matter."


In conclusion: For a second, it was tempting to fill in the huge gaps regarding my history of active participation at EM411, and ten-year professional career in web development and analytics. But, whatever. Less drama.

DISCLAMER, NOW WITH MORE CAPS:
Apparently, atum's a shitsock and I can post damned near anything I want to. That being said, let the flame begin...

atum is not admin, that's stupid.

yikes!

p.s. welcome back!

You've been Pwnd.

I don't believe that is admin. And, If it was it would certainly *not* say what em411 member restricted you.

As well the attitude in the message is uncalled for.

So if it was they can #!@& a bag of @!##ks ...
We old timers know em411 has gone to bathroom wall writing worthlessness as compared to the old awesome constructiveness goldmine it once was. But that is pretty stupid to sa the least.

Welcome back bllix.

it's not as bad here as everyone seems to think it is.

yeah... it's pretty good actually

some pretty cool peoples on here still!

I think for every complaint there should be a required posting of something informative or useful, hah. Really now... if people put gear reviews, or tutorials, or news items up as much as people complained...

bllorx! you'd better have come with some free llops this time.
