Rules Discusion

White flag then.

...........which reminds me...................

Is Stefan gainfully employed somewhere these days

Come guys.
I really want a place on the forum where the guide lines are written down.
The several discussion that has happened clearly shows those guidelines aren't well know.
And even John has explain the guideline wrong to me.

What is so hard to write it down and make it a sticky somewhere so there is no confusion about it any more?

There's always just that one more post....

Almost everyone seems quite happy and knows what's going on and there are no plans for any Tome of Rules.

Any further explanation only needs further explaining anyway and nobody reads rule books, or instruction manuals anyway.

I just think Stefan, with 8,644 posts, is going for the 10,000 before the end of the year.

Nobody that wrote a comment here talked about writing the rules down, they all talked about me and that i should let lose of the bone.
And because i started this thread we discovered that you explain the rules wrong to me.
So it's good i didn't let the bone lose then and it only enforce more the reason I want something written down to prevent something like this happening again.

Like I wrote to you in the PM.
- contents of PM removed by Moderators, PM's are private -

Please don't quote parts of PMs or e-mails in the forum as such communications are considered private. Many thanks.

Although I find this a totally pointless thread I fail to see how Stefan quoting only his side of a PM could be considered breaking any privacy rules.

Surely he could just type the exact same thing here without mentioning any PM.

So I can't say what I think on this forum...

I will say it again and under the protection of article 19 of the intentional human right and i don't quote it now but write it down for your comfort.

I've no problem being moderated but if a moderator applies a rule on me that's not written down somewhere I would have serious doubt it's an actual rule at all.
If rules aren't written down everyone can make up a rule and apply them.

And this has actually happened because John Riley one of the moderators explained to me that ALL photos posted that aren't made with a Pentax will be deleted.

I know it isn't custom that moderating is discuss on the forum but there are no rules that say you can't and this a fundamental piece why I want these "rules/guidelines" written down.

To use I believe a Dutch expression;
sometimes it`s better to not mop up under a dripping tap.

Davex.

Sorry Davex first time hearing that one.
It can be Dutch though.

8,649 now and still counting.
David

David seem you're trying to reach 1,000 maybe we can help each other?
You're now at 946 posts

Dweilen met de kraan open, Stefan.

The part I quoted from Johns PM was where he explained the rule/guideline to me, because that's known by everyone on this form (at least i've been told) I didn't see that as a private part in my discussion with John.
How can something like a guideline or rule be private???

Number 17. clearly say Pentax User member of staff have sent and since I sent the other one i quoted from.
John has no right to change that, just like Mike said.

Number 19. does also not really apply, I'm simply saying that we should write down the Rules/Guidelines so that mistakes like John has made does not happen again.
I'm not questioning John (i can't blame him for not knowing the rule/guideline out of his head) or his actions against the photo I posted I'm only saying we should write the rules/guidelines down.

Somehow that's too much to ask...



edit:
Why is this too much to ask actually?
If someone can give me a good reason, then i'll stop pursuing this.
