Default Later all.

could be a great site, but the powers that be just want to make it too hard to enjoy it here.
The best to all.

Hi,

As it happens I'm "the powers that be" if you will, along with so many others... I just went and had a look through your previous posts and I'm sad to say that we didn't make it hard - you probably made it hard on yourself. There are a few simple guidelines that we ask you to follow in return for us running the forum for free... I takes a lot of time to look after a forum with as much traffic as this one - that's why we put them in place.

If you're not interested in checking out the very brief "how and where to post" then sure, feel free to move along. Sad to see you go, but as I said - if you're not going to help us out to help you out... C'est la vie

All the best - Sime.

There's a great multitude of people that come here everyday, all for the same reason. To learn, or help others with the one thing we all have in common, Photography.

As long as I've been around I've never seen anyone get singled out by the admin, or mods. I know I have gone to great lengths to try, and make new people understand the simple rules that are in place. I've even with their permission edited their posts, to keep from having to delete them, and hosted their oversize images on my site to repost them in the proper size.

DPS offers a world of knowledge, hate to see anyone give that up.

I too am sorry to see anyone leave. It kinda sucks sometimes that we have to rules or guidelines in place and have to follow them. But if you thnik about it, if they werent this place would be a nightmare. I really couldnt see anyone getting anything out of it if we all could just do as we please.
I dont wanna sound mean, but wouldnt it just be easier to read the rules first so you know what to do or not to do?
I have been told I have made mistakes here as well. We are all just human and make mistakes. Wouldnt it be better to learn from them and move on, than to walk away?

Oh well...I guess he didn't want to hear what we had to say. There are some like that. "Only the thick skinned need to apply"

It's a pity to see you (or any one) leave such a great site. After going through your threads I honestly don't know how you could complain; you posted stuff and people gave you their input on how to get better, as well as informed you of where your post should be posted it the future. It seems like you took some of it too personal - which you should never do when you post your work and expect feedback. I'm sure our admins have enough on their plate and they could have easily just moved your threads to the proper sub-forums, but Sime (and others) were nice enough to take the time and let you know... it's sad that you took it offensively.

Either way, best of luck to you.
