Holy Cow!
I have missed so much.. Sorry I could not participate in this discussion earlier because of college... But even if I could, I would stay out of it.
Just before I end my post, I would like to add this:
I have never been treated "un-fairly" by any mods here.
Feyd has helped me, a great deal. I have never gotten criticized for something I didn't do. (for example, Feyd PMed me telling me "Bad Monkey" because I bumped my thread just 6 hrs. after posting... Which was right of him, since I should have waited a little longer before I bumped.) So my point is, I was never treated unfairly.
I have had helped from ALOT of people on this forum... i.e., you (astions), ninja, everah, arborint, scotayy, onion, hokey, feyd(just to name a few---many more people, cant name all).
if I had not found this site, my knowledge in php would have taken time to be where it is right now. (I would have gotten to this level EVENTUALLY... but not as fast)
All in all, I really like this site, and because of the MOD's experience i consider they have a better "judgement" on things, because they have all (probably) seen it before.
And going back to second post to this thread by onion
Sometimes that means erring on the side of caution. We don't want Flickr coming after us, they can afford better lawyers.
makes perfect sense because you never know what the intentions of the questioner are.
Like the saying goes:
its better to be safe than sorry.
I guess can be applied to the MOD's case.
Sincerely,
