need a ruling mod...

[Possessed Freak]

go here

basically it is to see if PMs can be used for mass messaging...

a mod was in it once but all he did was remove the contents of the private message... wow that sure helped the thread.

I did not ask you to lock the damn thing, I wanted a freaking ruling!

Possessed Freak,

The thread has run it's course. There is no reason to leave it open. We are quite aware of his efforts on behalf of Team Anandtech. If we felt there was a problem with it, we would have told him long ago.

Making public the contents of a PM w/o the consent of the sender isn't OK IMO. Deleting that was OK but what about the lock ? 😱

 

[Possessed Freak]

You mind following that up with a ruling on just what is allowed in a PM, can I say... mass message everyone that has the pm's enabled regarding a companies product...?

Has everyone tried LOC? It's a great soap product I hear, I wonder how much of it we could sell?
/end sarcasm😛

Mods- please try to post a clear, articulated answer. What is the policy if any regarding solicitation in PM's?

Osmo.

Hey PF, nice sig.

I suppose its up to the mods to gallantly prove it otherwise 🙂

 

[Antisocial Virge]

PM's have been posted before. I have never seen one deleted before though.

The position is that, unless Anand himself says otherwise, Denis's recruiting efforts on behalf of Team AnandTech are perfectly acceptable.

Possessed Freak,

Please remove your signature. You may disagree with the decisions of my moderators, but I will NOT tolerate attacks on them for trying to do their job.

This discussion is ended.
