"Dickhead Sig Removed by Moderator"

[Xiorc]

Simply stated, I created A signature that said " I do not support or subscribe to the site or advertisement below my post". Yet my sig says Im A dickhead...thanks Hungangeles.

As we all know our gracious host(s) have to use advertisements to generate money to keep this board running but I felt that putting adds of Viagra and/or Bobs T-Girls under my posts was a little to much. Dont get me wrong, I like good Ole Bob and the work he does but my post for what ever reason should not have his "TAGG" on it...Nor his mine, Put the Adds some where's else.
However, Its your house and we must follow your rules yet I would hope that our moderators here would let us express ourselves and protect us so we can voice our opinions instead of worrying about the advertisement income.
Not to mention I am called A "Dickhead,,,ect" making others here think that I am some kind of vigilante. Thats not the case, I just put in my signature that I did not subscribe to the add below my post. I said nor used any racial or physical epitaphs yet I am called a dickhead because I am not a part of those adds that we see.

Its my Sig, I broke no rules or (TOS) I just said that "my posts are mine" not Vargas or the black T-girl thing...or what ever

Surprisingly enough, I haven't missed the point at all. However the fact is that you are whining because HA won't let you have your own way. The phrase 'petulant child' comes to mind.
The bottom line is if you don't like the forum's advertising policy, don't post or go somewhere else.

Cry baby cry baby...thats all you get????


Im not one to bitch, as A Marine I have learned that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but this is pathetic...You cant see the train before the traks!

I dont like it at all!
And even with all the rules we have to go by here I have no problem with...except that my new signature says Im a "dickhead"....wtf...basically HA says that im I dickhead....I'm Sorry to prove the stupid moderator wrong but Im not a dickhead. It would be like me calling someone here a queer!

[eze]

Thats kind of retarded. Simply because he said he doesn't subscribe or support the many links to porn we have on EACH POST.

Jesus this is becoming an emo fest.

[Mac_Hine]

Outrageous.

[Xiorc]

Jesus this is becoming an emo fest.

Thats my point... Im here and I do contribute and yet just because my sig said I dont support those links...Im called a dickhead!
If I were to call some one here a queer or one of the T-girls a queen or what ever I would be banned...back to the point of being called a DICKHEAD...Why??? I guess Im just a ignorant redneck Dickhead...how did that happen???

The Mod made it so!

[dgtlmstry]

I can see your point. A simple warning would have sufficed, but the dickhead thing is pretty overboard especially for a mod. Alas, it is kind of funny. Just ignore it and move on. After all, only you know what you are and what you aren't. That sig DOESN'T in fact make it so.

[BeardedOne]

I find it interesting that they would dick around (Pun intended) with anyone's sig. Some of them have been way off the wall and somewhat insulting and it never seemed to be a problem before.

Hey! :shock:

Who messed with my sig?!? :lol:

[odelay24]

Fine is they don't want you to put that signature.

But it was immature of them to change it to that. They could have just notified you and told you to change it. Or just removed it to nothing

[Cyclops]

well if you don't like it then go into your profile and remove it

it is after all placed there as a siggy in place of the one you had

you should be able to remove it

and then just stfu and live with the ads that we all live with here

Can't you remove it?

Actually, I think the problem was that you weren't being diplomatic enough. I suggest you reword your sig along the lines of the following 'legalese':

Having your sig changed isn't that bad, really. I've made over 2000 posts, been a forum member for over 2 years, and these jerks still won't change my title to "Mastermind".

I suppose I could put it in my sig line, but then they'd probably change it to "Dickhead".

:P

(Hmmm, it appears the new version of Firefox has a built in spell checker, interesting)

[scroller]

If true, mods really shouldn't insert insults into someone's sig. That's a really cheap shot, on any system.

[thanos]

We've attempted to make the Sponsors Links on HA as minimal as possible so as not to interrupt the posting experience. But that's STILL not enough for some people it seems.

I, for the record did not change your signature but I can see why it was done.

The level of whining on this site has increased to levels recently that are just unbelievable. It's getting to the point of "Why even run this site anymore?"

:shock: Nooooo!!! Don't say that, Thanos. This site is great overall and most of us love it. Criticism should be welcome if it is constructive. I think the mods do well when they initiate the debate on how the forums can be improved, such as when you created a thread on HA Rules (pity people went way off topic on that one) and more recently on the debates on the board's colours and the pop-up previews.

Most of us know and appreciate the work you do. I, for one, have let you and other mods know of this. This is a great place for like-minded individuals to discuss things, for us guys to learn more about the girls and to even get to know the girls. Keep up the good work.

Although the "dickhead" sig (and I don't really know who made it) though very funny, may have been a tad too much.

[d]

i saw both the sigs and laffed at the edit...what did this guy expect you shitted on hunganges and the sponors at the same time and then get mad when they reacted the same way....lucky im not a mod i would have banned your ass...guys keep up the good work and the great site....ps: this has got to be a first, a marine upset over being called a dickhead....lol..

[hondarobot]

Smooth move, original poster. Now you went and pissed off Thanos. I think pretty much everyone agrees this is an awesome forum, and there have been hundreds of great threads.

For what it's worth, this is the only form of internet posting I do currently, and I think the mods have done a great job of running this place, despite having had to put up with all sorts of occasional wackiness.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

Xiorc.....It appears to me, you are not only whinning, but that the original moniker of "Dickhead" most certainly applies. My suggestion is to call the Customer Service number @ 1-800-WHAAAAAA!!!

[blckhaze]

[NickTheQuick]

I suggest you write your Congressman a letter.

[mph]

Make a big stink about your sig, why dontcha? Get over it. You should see some of the shit I've pulled on whiny members over at the forums I run.

We have a simple response over there to people who whine about things just like this:

"This ain't a democracy. :)"

[biguy4tvtscd]

Removing the sig is one thing, and obviously the right and responsibility of the mods/admins.

Replacing it with a snide comment insulting the user, on the other hand, displays the maturity level of a child.

I'm not sure you should be the one talking about maturity,


Is there any way to turn this craptacular feature off?

I'm talking about the little preview window of the post when you mouse over a thread title.

It's fucking annoying as all hell.

[SmashysmashY]

I don't think anybody should be called a dickhead, that isn't very nice but I don't understand why you would think that other people would assume you did endorse the ad. There isn't an algorithm that analyzes your posts then puts in an advertisement that you would endorse. It just puts an ad there and it has nothing to do with you. So I don't think you engaged in your actions with a reasonable assumption and maybe that's what they meant by dickhead.

[biguy4tvtscd]

Lodging a complaint about a feature automatically makes one "immature"?

Yeah, sure, makes perfect sense. :roll:

[Xiorc]

It was not intent to anger or start a fight with HA's and I do understand that HA's needs to advertise for income reasons. I simply wanted to convey that I was not apart of those adds at the end of my posts. As for the adds for Bob's tgirls or the other TS sites, I really have no problem with them. Hell if I had the money I would subscribe to all of them tomorrow, however the Viagra add I believe is tasteless and more importantly..its not me! I dont use Viagra nor do I know anyone whom does yet if the add appears at the bottom of my post it could appear that I support that company.

With that said, if I crossed the line or broke some rule of the terms of service then I could see my sig being blocked and being contacted by the the Mod and asked to change it. But having the Mod change my sig and say nothing to me and calling me a "dickhead" to boot is just unprofessional and cowardly. I hope this is not the example of all the Mods here?

[tubgirl]

actually, if you read the new sig correctly, it is not calling you a dickhead.

it is saying that the sig is a dickhead.

if it were calling you a dickhead, it would be possesive as in "dickhead's sig..."

good point, was about to say the same thing. changing things on HA to suite the populace is common here though. reality isn't a friend.

Thank you tubgirl. So many people do not understand the difference between 's and s'
I actually suport the links below me. No not that one, that one. No the other one. Yes that's it.

:roll: Come on. Everybody here and everybody visiting with half a working brain knows those advertisements have nothing to do with the poster whose message they happen to attach it to. They occur in every post for fuck sake.

I bet there is not one person who has read a thread/post that has been created by you and then suddenly found themselves thinking look that guy supports extra strength Viagra he is just like Pele and can't get it up. It is much more likely that they either ignored the advertising completely or simply understood that it is put there by the site and holds no apparent connection to the poster concerned.

So to sum up your efforts were in vain and therefore redundant in there aims and what’s more all you achieved was a negative response from the Mod’s who provide this site free of charge, thus resulting in you having your signature removed and it being replaced with a derogatory comment that for all intensive purposes was a sign of their disregard and contempt for your lack of respect and understanding of their need for funds that can only be achieved by means of advertising.

Finally I would suggest instead of taking the said approach, moaning and creating a thread about the way you feel you have been hard done by. Simply apologize in a private message and ask if you can have the given signature that obviously causes you so much dismay removed from your posts.

[Xiorc]

Well...Hmmm..ok.

All things aside, its just the lack of professionalism on the part of the Mod that cut me the wrong way. In the big scheme of things this is not a big deal and I understand this. Its quite comical in a weird way because this is supposed to be an open community that deals with certain subjects with a certain bit of discretion and professionalism along with other problem that may arise.....In Theory anyway. This is not the case obviously when it comes to the working model of a Forum and even more so here at HA. Here Its an insensitive, selfish, and hateful environment full of haters and small minded fools. Its like I fell into a redneck convention run ed by the skinheads in Nazi Germany. All of this would be fine but when a moderator lowers their self to these tactics with no warning or message then Its time to ask yourself weather or not you want to continue to participate as a member of the community.

So it will go back to the way it was (for me any way). I will lurk around viewing and saving the pics that come along now and again because it seems that this is all this place is good for.
