    Because Shawn believes (and many believe he's right) that the guy can post, even if he IS annoying. Would you really want someone to be able to be banned simply because they were annoying and jerks? Not good business sense there.

    By not banning members just because you don't agree, it leaves the community open to grow.

    Really there would be no problem in the first place if folks were civil toward all members, but some have to attack people just for telling their story and posting here :)

    That means that we never get to the bottom of anything because of militant insults being hurled at new members :cool:

    Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes that type of response can get to the bottom of it a whole lot quicker.

    Homer you seen two examples in this very thread, the second guy that came in got banned also and we were able to discuss the matter without insulting or attacking him.

    That is what the forum should be about, especially for new members that should be welcomed, not insulted on their first visit.

    Anthony: I understand your point, but crackpots like this deserve what they get:

    I will agree that sometimes some members are a little abrasive towards newbies. I have read a few posts from this guy, I say bust his balls, he deserves it.

    Do it at your own risk, Shawn does not want members being attacked for no reason, just telling one's story does not give members the right to attack another member on Digital Point :cool:

    I think spammers are annoying but they do serve a certain entertainment purpose ... just don't let them have live links :)

    there are many of him out there and Google needs awareness - that is why they read thru these forums to learn what webmasters will do to cheat them. I believe dumbasses like him actually do serve a purpose. let them speak up ...

    Homer, on an open forum everyone is given an opportunity to post, if anyone will boot them from the forum it will be Shawn, not a fellow member.

    It does not matter how bad they are, if they are a member they have a right to post without members attacking them. PERIOD. :eek:

    Ok guys i don't mean to be a jerk to anybody, and I especially don't agree with Shez methods of earning money, but he has right to his opinion, he didn't attack any of us, In other forum he did though in retaliation. As anthony stated he is showing Google how they can be cheated, and they will become more stricter. He shouldn't get banned for that.

    Attacking someone here should at least be warned, i received pretty warm welcome here and i like that. I can understand why advertisers are mad i would be too, but we can't start a war here. I'm running multiethnic forum on my site Croats, Serbs, and Muslims, and i wouldnt tolerate any attacks on each other, i would stop the thread, and thats what i recommend here, before it gets out of control...

    Shawn does not stop threads, that is why people come back here every day, because of his management.

    Welcome to Digital Point, this is an everyday thing here, so don't let it bother you man :)

    I am simply expressing my view in reference to his conduct with AS. I do not want him to leave the forum. I think people like these people, who continue to devise ways to cheat the system are more valuable than you or I to this forum.

    Sure, people have a right to their opinion, but they do not have a right to all their actions. He is cheating the system and in doing so has been stealing from adword users. Something like that is clear cut, either right or wrong.
