Full Version: A Message to ImmInst Spammers

It does not make your organization look good to spam other forums over issues that are irrelevant and that no-one is interested in hearing about. BrainMeta has a zero tolerance policy towards forum spam and violators will be, at minimum, banned.


The main perpetrator of the spam was using IP address 68.32.229.222, located in Feasterville Trevose, Pennsylvania, and using Internet Service Provider Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.



To the spammer, your ISP has been notified of your abuse at abuse-at-comcast.net

Who deleted the thread "LifeMirage = fraudster"?

I agree that the majority of the posts within that forum were clearly spam. However, the thread I named had been posted to by a number of thoughtful posters, who were professional in manner and did not engage in ad hominem attacks. Your moderator "LifeMirage" has abused his moderation privileges at ImmInst, and I question whether he did it here again, or if another moderator/admin did so in the mistaken impression that the thread contained no useful information. If such a snap decision was made by another moderator, please explain.
Shawn
I deleted the thread, as well as all the spam that accompanied it, because it was an uncalled for ad hominem on a moderator who I have approved of. I have made my position on this issue clear at http://brainmeta.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13899 . If ImmInst has problems with an individual here, then they can talk about it all they want in their own forum. It does not make them look good to spam other forums.

What, is it now considered spam to say that my posts were neither spam nor ad hominem attacks?

Yes, I would like my deleted posts emailed to me. I wasn't aware you kept a record of what was deleted.
Shawn
Please do not take the liberties of broaching this topic wide open. I am aware of all the nonsense and pettiness involved, and do not want that in the BrainMeta forum. If you want your deleted posts emailed to you, let me know.
Shawn

I don't. But I still have the page open in my browser tab from before it was deleted.
Jay Fox
If possible, could I get a copy of Mind_Imminst's posts as well?
Shawn
I PMed the whole thread to you.

I apologize to some of the member's legitimate posts that I deleted along with the entire thread, though I am hoping you will understand why I took such action; to prevent an outpouring of pettiness, ad hominems, and disinformation. BrainMeta is held to higher standards than that.

Also, I should note that I have reviewed all evidence against LM in this matter, and have found it unconvincing. That being said, I view any attempt to reinvigorate discussion over said topic as an attempt to bypass this administrative decision and to disrupt the forum.

Hey Hey
You're the boss and sometimes we need one.
LifeMirage
Best boss I've ever had....

Someone please release the hounds on this Fox! No wonder they hunt them down just for the sports of it!
Shawn
hey thanks guys, but I'm not a boss. More like an enthusiastic servant who is trying to enable and ensure worthwhile dialogue and information exchanges within our online community.

Sure thing, capitán
Shawn

No capitán

Reminds me of Jean Luc Picard

OnlyNow
Well, you are the one who can make it so!

OK, now, that's gross! Don't tell me that remote control is about to make him do thing to himself with his hands! LOL
