Very Important, Please Read, Or Else.
It has come to my attention that there are several members practicing unfair business tactics while trying to attract members to their forum. I will be periodically checking their website and interviewing the members on this site that are also members there. If I find you to be an active participant in those forums, and that you have been lured there from here, I will be forced into taking some rather interesting action.
These people have stabbed not only me, but this entire forum in the back. I will not stand to have this type of heinous activity here.
If you recieve any PMs with advertisements, I suggest you send me a PM with the name of the person in question. I will handle it from there. I refuse to have my members harrassed in PMs.

I just think he's trying to protect THESE forums from unwanted advertisements from OTHER forums.....It would appear people have recieved these advertisements in PM's, which would make sense b/c DaKilla put a ban on forum advertisements in posts......Basically he's trying to keep his faithful followers while peeing a circle around us to mark his territory.....

You can take part in any other forums you please. But in this case, due to the nature of the unfair advertising, I am putting a 'ban' on that forum. I have no problem with you going to other forums, it's just when you come onto my forum and harass my users to get them over to your site, I'm going to do everything in my power to shut you down.

Correct, what you are doing is perfectly fine. It's just the fact that I don't want users to receive any unwanted PMs. I don't like this harassing of the users because the other forum's admin is unable to get users in a legitimate way. Not only this, but he was also spreading propaganda, and complete lies.

EDIT: I didn't read the above message.
Sorry, but if they didn't want unwanted the PMs all they have to do is press the 'delete' button...
Easier than banning people, on your part.

Yet another example of the power hungry admins on this board!
You're just threatened that other forums may be cooler than this one (cough - many are) because we don't have to put up with countless BS rules and regulations just to talk about socom. This forum is going to hell because you are all takeing it way to seriously. Its not a freaking business, just a place to have some fun and talk about a game we all like!
Chill the 'censor' out!

^^first, cure that cough, because it is g@y.... second, dont bash the mods/admins, they are chosen because they have done a good job. no other forums are cooler than these ones, all you gotta do is suggest something and they will work thier hardest to get it done, and do it right (i.e socom-2 chat room). if you dont like it, please leave and do us all a favor
and think about it, why would people advertise their site on this one if this site sucks??? because they know this forum is full of good people
