Ok I dont want to pinpoint any one or don't want to accuse anyone. its just that i wanted to say something

Its all about posting things in Trap17.

Ok i dont want any heated discussion or any replies to this post.

All i think is that Tap17 Moderatos are a bit more strict. I mean infact very strict.

They should be a bit more easy on us. lol.
First - There are so many links telling us what to post what not to post. I am totally confused.
Second - Connection is not always good. So If I post an article and hit submit sometimes its not posted and gives me a 404 error. so I press Refresh. It asks me to retry-or abort. And I say Retry. And Then when The page Finally appears....it gets posted twise sometime.
Thirdly - The forum links are really way too large in number. It appears as if all the features of Invasion forum is enabled on the page. I really find it difficult to browse and read.

Well all I want to tell u guys is

Make Trap17 a better Place. lol. Ok. I know its necessary to be strict. But guys... be easy. lol.
I am a happy man. And so are othes I hope.


OK No Post Count for this Post.

Sorry If I said something wrong.
My bad English.

Keep up the good work. Make it better.

Hey Mukund!

I see what you are trying to tell over here.
You've said that you dont want replies over here but this is a public forum and people will like to reply to any thoughts which you've made over here.
If I am not wrong this post which you've made is bit related to me..I may be wrong but that's what I think and I think I am 99% correct as well.

Anyways..as you said that rules are there and what I think rules are there to be followed not to be broken. We mods over here try to be strict just because this is a very large forum and if we will start giving leverage then members will start taking benefit of that. (I am not pointing you )

You'll find lots of members who follow the rules of the forum and still make good posts to earn credits and if you want I can name then as well:

Wild20, Plenoptic, Avalon & Calkid...there are more and It will take lots of time for me to write everybodies name. (please forgive me if I failed to write your name over there..this is for all good posters)

Now, If all these guyz can follow the rules and still keep the forum a nice and neat place then I think everybody else can also do that.

Note: "You" in brackets over here is for everyone who is reading this post

Pressing refresh is like submitting the post twice. What i suggest is, before you submit your post to: copy what you've written (if need be, paste it in an new text document, so you can copy other stuff), then submit. If you get that 404 page, chances are the post has been placed in the database. If so, come back later, when your connection is better. If your post is there, good. If not, no worries, just paste the post back again, and submit it.

let's just chill and get over it... I've never has such probs but then again maybe it's because i use Opera ... Oh and if there were no rules then life would just get worse and there are rules so it lets others and you stay happy

Rules = Control + Happiness + Security + +
Opera = Great web browser

I think I qualify for good poster recognition.

First of all, I've only ever been modded once, once in almost 300 posts. The problem was that I included a referral link for IPBGaming.com, and unfortunately, no referral links are allowed, even for our neighboring site. Actually I was warned for doing it, which surprised me since that was the first time, and in this case, unintentionally, I had a post edited. I think moderators can be a little strict at times, but hey, all the more power to them. This place has to be kept nice and tidy, so when discipline is necessary, it should be exectuted.

I do agree, somewhat, that moderators should be just a tad bit less strict. Now I'm not one to ever disagree with a moderator or admin's decision making, but sometimes things are elevated past what they should be. I was, not highly, but surely, upset at the fact that my first-time TOS offense got me a warning penalty.

There are also ways members should conduct themselves when dealing with discipline that's handed out by moderators. Too many times I read about members crying to the community that a moderator did this and a moderator did that...wow am I tired of those. Please, respect the decisions made by the staff, and if you disagree with something, keep it between you and the staff, don't go wasting everyone's time posting another encounter that went sour. In my situation I PM'ed the staff member who had warned me, and I explained the situation. It was evident that for my first time offense, 8 months and 275 posts into membership, that my warning was unnecessary. Unlike many upset members who whine about their punishment, the incident between me and the staff member is the proper way to address points.

It's very easy to follow the rules, trust me. I've been doing it for almost 9 months now and I've only ever made one minor error in almost 300 posts. I live a busy, complicated life like everyone else on here so don't give me that excuse that that's why you can't follow TOS correctly. It's a simple thing to do. You got to believe .

Heh... I'm a 'You'! Woo hoo! I feel so special

Okay, anyway, sorry about this, because you didn't want any replies, but I just wanted to mention, that when I first came here, I found it so hard to get around too... and was very confused by all the places to go. I wasn't too good with forums I suppose. But I stuck with it, and in no time, I figured out how to get around rather easily. Now I just usually use the 'view new posts' link above and see what is new, rather than search through all the categories.

Maybe you could name some rules that you think may be too strict, and we can discuss further, maybe come to a resolution?

I think that the rules here are fine. On any forum that gives away something for posting (like here) they have to be a little more strict than on a forum that gives you nothing. I have seen quite a few posts that have been spam. Most of those posts end up in the spam topics to be adjusted forum. This is because of our moderators. They are the ones who keep this a good place to post. I bet that if we went one day without moderators here this forum would be full of spam because of people who just want hosting and don't care about the community.
