    Hey, I started this topic I started which people were really getting into got closed. I was offering a Free until Jan 1st thing.

    The last person said something so deep and amazing. I actually was touched on how greatful this person was.

    I made a reply and it was locked!?!

    I can't figure out what's going on. There's barely any visable mods, the topic was positive, It was working out well considering I only get one chance like this every year. Everybody was happy, etc. There was not any messages to me, no explination at the bottom of the topic, nothing.:confused:

    Can a mod unlock this one for me right quick?

    Leaving out information on the purpose of being bumped and asking for a reply, I've highlighted in red stuff I saw myself, oh and if you didn't see an infraction you should consider yourself lucky.


    I've decided to be a nice person until the end of the year, but after that I'm back to "Mr. Mean guy who ain't giving anything away."

    Strike One: Free Arcade Script!!

    I'm offering the Premium Arcade Software for PH Arcade for FREE until the end of the year. Everyone can just up and have it right now. I have no idea why I should do this, Its already such a low price.

    This script is off the hook. It makes good money, its optimized pretty good with adsense, good with SEO, runs fast, has admin control, looks great, easy to install, comes with full support(http://www.peerhut.com), and will help you pickup beautiful blue eyed blondes. Ok....ok.... I made that last part up.....
    All you have to do is reply:
    "Thanks for the offer, GrAve. May I have the download link?" or something like that.

    Strike Two: Free Game Pack Bonus!!

    "What's good if you get a free arcade with only 20 games? Doesn't it kind of feel like getting car keys with no car?"

    Well, For an added bonus I am going to be giving out your choice of the Action gamepack, puzzle gamepack, or classic gamepack.
    (located at *link removed for non promotion*)

    However to qualify to have this you must only private message me the url of where you installed your free Premium PH Arcade Script & what gamepack you'd like. Easy as Christmas Cake.

    In all honestly, I'm doing doing this because I want to track you, Its because I don't want a million people overdriving my server downloading these packs when they are not even going to use it.

    Strike Three: Fast Interests

    For the Frist 5 People who enter this topic and reply that they want this, will be getting ALL of the gamepacks when they are ready to take the game packs.

    Clear now?

    Oh, alright. So we're not supposed to be doing the review copy type thingy going on. Alright, I didn't know about that one. This was an obvious throw to motivate the people.

    Ok, and the other thing sort of does. Obviously they need to reply to get it, right? (that one was not intentional)


    You shut down an important topic by me. I've not been given any break at all. I need this topic back. I'm not a rippoff artist, scammer, or post spammer. Most nice people help out or say something nice. Not offer a warning with authority.

    I'm going to ask you three things here:

    I'm going to ask you for the permission to edit that topic, erase that stuff out and get it re-opened. People are Private messaging me like nuts for this, and I really need this break.
    or
    Please give advice on when I get re-open a topic just like that one without the hooks you mention.

    and one last thing, is there some kind of a notification about me. Some blacklist where mods watch people like me for every topic I make because I notice theirs a fair share of attacking mods at me?

    Hoping for a reply.

    The mod who closed it actually could have given you a 7-day ban for telling people to post in the thread. It's not going to get re-opened, but since that one is closed you're welcome to start another thread - please just don't have people reply that way or it will likely get closed again - they need to PM you if they're interested. Please see the BST announcement from a few months ago.

    Stroh did a fine job in analyzing why your thread was closed. I am the one who closed it for your information. Also I do not look at usernames when I do moderation, even if you are one with 150 000 posts, it is the same treatment for your thread - closed.

    About your claims of attacking mods, just for your information. It is a full time job just to clear the reports that we have, we do not have the time to specially look out for a member to attack.

    As given above, you could have been given a 7 day ban. If you do not know the rules, I suggest reading them before posting again, frankly speaking next time round you may not be so lucky to escape an infraction.

    Also on the note of mods "attacking" you, you've actually been let off extremely easy lately.

    1. You got out of an immediate ban on this issue.

    2. I let you off in another thread where you made comments that could have been considered an attack against other members (a 2-pt infraction which I let slide b/c I was feeling generous right before the holiday and considered it vague enough not to make a big deal out of it other than giving you a warning in the thread).

    3. When I see attack-style posts, I usually check the member's other recent posts to make sure it's not a bigger habit / problem - just in your most recent posts there was another one eligible for an immediate 7-day ban (where you posted just to tell people that you sent out PMs - and actually, looking again, you had two of them). I deleted them, and you weren't banned - in that case only because we were having a disagreement in another thread and I chose not to bother to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

    If anyone were specifically out to get you, you would have been banned already. In the future, please don't throw around false accusations about how things are run when you obviously don't have the full story.

    Thanks.
