Let me see if I can perhaps clear something up here, since
I was the one who first brought the post into the mod forum for discussion.
Predator Masters has Terms of Service that we use as guidelines here. The post in question was in made in violation of those terms of service.
No prior permission was asked or obtained, and the sigline contains a link that is not allowed.
Because this organization may have some merit, the thread was not deleted, but brought into the mod forum while it was being discussed. I have been unable to find any info or website other than the commercial one in the sigline.
When I pulled the thread to the mod forum, I notified the poster that it had been pulled and the reasons for it.
Instead of reading the TOS and correcting the problem, he chose to post here with his decision to leave. He did not ask for clarification or permission to repost. BTW the commercial link is still in his sigline in violation of the TOS.
If members agree to the TOS without reading them, then who is responsible when they don't follow them?
Predator Masters members have always been willing to step up and help someone who needs it, but if we do not have a protocol to deal with solicitations, then we could soon become a source of "donors" for anyone who chooses to post asking for donations, instead of a predator hunting board.
This is not about the organization involved, but about policy. When these issues come up, they are discussed first to be sure they fit our parameters, and secondly to see if there is some way we can help.
"As for asking permission I should have and would have IF I had known so much chit would have been stirred!"
We have the TOS in place so everyone has the same responsibility, had the TOS been followed we wouldn't be having this discussion now. But once again we are the bad guys.
Nasa, the black ops and conspiracy theories are getting old. You are nearly always the first to jump on this kind of thing. Unfortunately because you have little or no information about the event, your reading of the situation is always skewed. You have phoned me, pm'ed me and emailed me in the past. Seems to be that would be the reasonable thing to do if you have questions.
You mention money as if it is something evil. Without money, PM would not exist, simple. Every cent raised here stays here and is put into this organization.
Predator Masters is growing daily. We have sevral mods and admin staff that spend a great deal of time and effort to keep this board runing smoothly. Nothing is decided by one person.
We have standards and rules and that is part of what seperates us from the other internet boards.
Once again this discussion has nothing to do with the merits of the organization invloved and everything to do with ensuring that we are in a position to help those that we can help.
