Hi

Here it is AGAIN since Desfab seemed to have a positively Floridian-esque burr in his britches against a simple link report. I apologize in advance of course. The report has some spacing problems that I wasn't able to quite eliminate. In the future I hope to fix that. In any case - I hope you enjoy! Here is a link to the website where it actually LOOKS right. I don't know if that qualified for deleting this comment though... How about it Desfab? Whackity whack? :)

FU WITH THE GAY LINKS! I like HalfLife Team Fortress :)

I deleted your previous link report. We don't accept stuff like that as report submissions.

Ah - My bad then Mark4. I can only plead the excuse that absolutely NOWHERE on your site (at least that I can find) does it say that link reports are forbidden. You might want to add some sort of "DANGER WILL ROBINSON" line in the report submission page about that, otherwise poor uneducated Joes such as myself will simply assume that it is OK.

We've had about five submitted since the start of the site. Out of 3718 submissions. I take this to mean anyone with the slightest shred of common sense managed to figure it out on thier own.

No need to be snippy Mark4. And as far as common sense goes, In the absence of any ACTUAL overt statement to the contracy common sense would dictates that a link report would be acceptable(while not necessarily 'normal'). To think otherwise is actually a violation of common sense - for common sense does not dictate that something is FORBIDDEN unless it is stated to be in violation of some written, communicated rule. Well I won't parse words with you, and I'll just chalk up my previous submissions to the sad battleground of experience.

I'll end with the appropriate quote...
"Come come. A king will have his way in his own hall, be it wisdom or foolishness..." J.R.R. Tolkien - The Two Towers

I don't have admin rights here, I'm just a rater. However, I'm not going to rate this report since you've pissed me off.

I'll end with <i>an</i> appropriate quote...

Scarab: Heh - we're all nerds here I think. Any person like us that spends hours to do a battlereport on a computer game can only be classified as either a rabid zealot (not the Starcraft kind) or a hopeless nerd.

Starrookie & DIvyo: Thanks for staying on topic!

Drefsab: Well, thanks for recusing yourself anyway... Whatever else you may be, you have more common sense than the Florida Supreme Court... As far as your abuse goes - m'eh - everyone's entitled to an opinion. However, since you are a rater here I'd humbly suggest that you consider a less abrasive tone lest random visitors consider your opinions biased. At the very least, you should eliminate profanity. In the TFC world, such behavior would immediately brand you a 'llama' forever enshrine you on llama.pcgame.com.

Nafarias did not break any rules that are written on this website. You are accusing him of that. I bet, that is u would write a br like that, you would do the same! Wow, like u would look through 3000+ reports's comments to check if u can do what naf did. I think this should go to EWL:one of those llamas with the power of admin is continuing to terrorise the website. As for EWL.... I will only say, that it'll be bad popularity for ur site.....

In defense of Drefsab and Mark4, this IS thier website. I may disagree with some of the details of how they run it, but it is a free service and I will toe the line now that they have TOLD me what to do. I still think they should put this 'no link reports or you will be deleted!' rule of thiers in the FAQ at least, or better yet in the posting guidelines and what not. Still if they refuse to do so then that is thier perogative and we shouldn't really rag on them too much about it. Thanks for the support though D's Servant. Nice to know I'm not the only one scratching his head over it...

Actually common sense isn't following written rules, its being able to figure out simple things on your own... I'm not mad at you Nafarias, I just think that you would be able to understand why we wouldn't accept link reports. Like ccn.com would put an article on thier site rather than linking to a similar one at msn.com.

ccn.com haha

btw Mark, if this IS my website, why don't I have banning power? :P

Common sense doesn't tell me that is CNN.com is accepting freelance articles, that they would delete a bunch of submission without at least posting the reason why. Still, whatever. Just as a humble suggestion - keep in mind that a website gets a constant flow of users and not all of them 'know' your unstated rules. I perfectly understand 'why' you wouldn't want a link report, but there is no missive stating that a link report will be deleted. There is a difference between 'frowning' on something and out and out forbidding it.

And you better give Drefsab admin rights now I guess! :)
