General
This site hopes to promote a safe and educational environment for people to gather to discuss and share ideas that relate to video creation and playback. To that end this site will do whatever is necessary to keep the environment free from illegal or disruptive people or discussions.


General rules
You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP addresses of all posts are recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database.

General posting rules and tips:

Please try to do some basic research before posting.

Using the search can yield rich rewards as most questions have already been previously answered.

Do not post the same topic on several forums.
Please do not cross post, once is enough.

Please try not to "bump" your topic.
Replying to your own topic to get it to the top is annoying. Try to have some patience, this is a bulletin board, not IRC. It may take some time (e.g., one or two days) before someone can answer your query or question.

Do not hijack topics.
Please try to stick to the author's first post in each topic, if you want to discuss something else, create a new topic.

Try to choose a subject that describes your topic.
Please do not use topic subjects like Help me!!! or Problems.

Where am I breaking the rules?

[testicool]

Even tgpo said its ok

Just be sure to follow the rules while you do it.

[testicool]

Someone has also blocked my IP. I cant access the forum through my regular browser.... why is this? I have not done anything wrong. And if I did why don't you say what I did?

[g_shocker182]

testiscool you have been banned. Please do not come back - g_shocker182

[Devanshu]

Sheesh, dont you have stuff to do?

[testicool]

testiscool you have been banned. Please do not come back - g_shocker182

First of all it's testicool NOT testiscool.

Second of all, what did I do wrong?

[The village idiot]

Funny, usually these threads get deleted so others don't follow in their footsteps.

[Devanshu]

Nothing wrong...it's just kinda creepy that you were talking to yourself for an entire page.

I'm not bumping it. I basically increasing my post count. Can I do it in the test thread?

[Solarjetman]

You have to realize that when you do this type of stuff, it can be consider abuse of network resources. Everything you post here takes something from the server. You have to use bandwidth that Baldrick pays for in order to post those messages. And it takes hard drive space to store. Then it uses more bandwidth for everyone to view them when they enter the thread. Running a website is not free.

Also, this is not a truly public forum. If Baldrick wanted to, he could ban anyone he pleased. He does not even need a reason. By posting worthless stuff on his server, I would not think it fares well with him. This off topic forum is just a place to come and relax from reading the video forum. Don't abuse it.

And finally, as with many things you can look at it in a utilitarian standpoint to see if such an action is acceptable. Expand the action to if everyone did it. Then ask yourself if the results of this would be positive or negative. With around 80-100 people browsing at one time, and everyone posting like you did, the server would be overwhelmed and be unable to function. Then what of the people needing help with VCD creation?

As for TGPO saying its ok, his post count guide is a satire. It is not meant as an actual way to up your count. I do not believe he thought you would actually post 100 times. If you noticed, everyone at the beginning was playing along, posting 3 or 4 times, but stopping after the joke was not funny anymore. Plus, Baldrick gave the nono smiley in his post.

As for posting in the test forum, that is exactly what Phunky Monkey got into trouble for.

Bottom line is there is no actual rule against it, but just like posting in all caps, it just pisses people off. So don't be like a little kid and piss people off just so you get a big number under your name. Post count is irrelevant when it comes to the stuff that matters, like helping people with their video disk problems. Just because someone has 2000 posts, does not mean they know anything about video editing. It only means they can hit the reply button alot.
