The only reason I've posted here is for clarification, otherwise it's a "oh, those nasty people at Spiceworks" comment.
I agree! Post like this irk me: http://www.mangolassi.it/topic/1561/something-fishy-with-sw-points/3

Touche.
I posted here to keep from exposing it too broadly to see if it was happening to anyone else. But probably best to call it out to everyone.

At least it is far better and most honest posting here. They see every posted and nothing is secret it hidden. It's far better than having a secret posting area. Often posts have gone here to allow a conversation to happen without overly advertising it to the world. But the secret groups to have conversations that only select people can see... That's a much bigger issue.
But the bad things that other communities do is no excuse to sink towards their level. So you are both right. In the spirit of avoiding their mistakes, we should definitely avoid anything approaching that style of behavior.

Nice!

I know this is an old thread, but I'm not understanding RAM's POV. He seems to be saying because another site doesn't have a private chat room in a private forum, he prefers another site that doesn't have private chat-rooms or private forums.
-
@IRJ Could it be that they avoid you for other reasons? No offense, but maybe it's not the fact that you are here that makes you unpopular there. It could be other things that have caused this. And with your last post in SP's, I don't think you're winning many friends. And this probably goes for alot of us. If we are here venting about them, it's probably going to effect our attitude over there and our disdain is going to be transparent.

I had to read that eight times to figure out what was said. Lol

I feel like I miss a ton not being in the SP. Not being in it you get a feeling that a ton of discussion only exists there. When I was there it didn't feel like it was all that much. But that's probably because I was part of it. Now I feel like I miss tons.

What you're missing is IRJ bitching about mods with no justification,
A post got deleted, IRJ called the mods about it, even though he admitted that the OP had deleted the post themselves, but apparently that's all the mods fault.
As a current mod I don't like getting called on rumour, hearsay and personal viewpoints.
I am entitled to my opinon.
Obviously my opinion matters to you alot since you haven't posted here in 2 months but thought it was appropriate to come here just to post this. Either you frequently troll this forum or somebody tipped you off to this thread. Either way, I am impressed

I personally don't care what people think. I have never had alot of friends on SW

@Huw3481 said:
Yes , a whole thread of bitching about mods because a poster deleted his own post.
That is correct.
Basically, I saw a thread and I was typing a message on it to reply to thread and then it got mysteriously removed. The page said something like this has been removed because it went against community guidelines. So I posted in SP about it. When I posted in SP, I messaged the OP my my reply and then he told me he deleted it by accident.
So, the message stating that it was removed because it went against the guidelines was incorrect and it led me to believe it was removed. Threads have been unjustly removed from SW before so I don't think I was too out of line. Most say I was, but I got 2 spices.

Really dude? Thanks for policing the internet. You make me feel all warm and safe inside.

Please keep it nice people! ML is here for you to share your IT knowledge and help each out out. We really are trying to be careful about trashing other sites etc. @scottalanmiller actually wrote a post about this last weekend. http://www.mangolassi.it/topic/1570/dealing-with-discussions-of-other-communities

Rob,
I know you mean well..
I don't know RAM's story but I will take a punch for him since I am taking quite a few already.
He has every right to his opinion. You don't have to agree with it. From what I understand, he was lead on by the Orange Guys about a job offer. I don't know much more than that so I can't really say anything else.
-
I absoultly never said he didn't have a right to his opinion. I was unclear as to what he was trying to say> I've since talked to him online, and we're goo.

I'm sorry if I got the wrong impression by "There are a few Spicy Peppers that avoid me now because of my participation on here. Anyone else on Mangolassi experience this?" I was highlighting that it is possible that it is the way you are carrying yourself or your lack of presence, and not merely your participation here that made you feel like you were being avoided. I can't imagine why and Sp would just ignore you for that reason. I'm here, but not active, and others are here and active.

Actually your post about SW mods bumped the 2 month old thread. So if were were following it 2 months ago and haven't been very active since, that's the only reason we would have seen it.

I don't see any difference in behavior. Then again, I'm not there to socialize.

Rob, you aren't even the one I was talking about. Not sure why you insist on churning up the waters.
I was led to believe the thread was deleted because of the message on the thread that said This post has been removed because it went against guidelines. Does that not led you to believe that the post was removed by CMs or Mods?
