RA 143 - Walter Day

Swainy · 17:52, 28 May 16

I don't join in enough to spread the word.

Gryzor · 15:25, 29 May 16

Man, really, did you NOT understand anything we discussed the last time??

tastefulmrship · 16:10, 29 May 16

I smell the chickory-smoked goodness of the...

All American, all good! All right! ^_^

Yeah, that's sad that apparently he missed completely the point and felt it was against him and his work (which IS enjoyable) and did not understand that was about the way he interact with this forum...

Gryzor · 16:56, 29 May 16

Indeed. So let me reiterate:

If you're a member of the community, you're more than welcome to keep us up to date with your projects; that's what a community is, after all.
If you're not a member of the community, in the sense that you participate in it (just having an account doesn't make you a member, really), you're more than welcome to announce your project and let us know about what you're working on.
If you're not a member of the community but you feel that you can use it, along with several other media, as a platform to plaster with boilerplate announcements every time you release something, then you're not welcome.

I'd guess this is clear enough.

Swainy · 20:04, 29 May 16

Guys, what can I say? I added an image, I do apologise. I thought that the issue last time was was the size of the image.

It's good to see old Chinnyvision getting a kick out of this though. Says a lot about the man I think.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the show.

Poor old Swainy. Didn't listen to a word last time instead decided to take pot shots at me. 6 months on, here we are again in the same situation. Please fetch me the worlds smallest violin.

Swainy · 20:55, 29 May 16

Chinny, I'm not looking for sympathy... You do love to stick the boot in though, that is clear.

tastefulmrship · 20:57, 29 May 16

(I know I've done this joke before, but it's a corker!)

This time it's a slightly smaller image... more refined... more British!

Do I moderate this forum? Am I posting under several pseudonyms? Wasn't even aware you'd posted again until you got hit with the ban hammer. Not sure about your fixation with me.

You were told what the problem was. You stormed off under a cloud. You re-emerge 6 months later acting all innocent like nothing happened and with no lessons learned.

Swainy · 21:12, 29 May 16

Personally it feels as if you have the problem with me. Taking to Twitter, posting about it.

I thought you wanted publicity?

Blanket spam a load of forums, expect no come back. Odd.

Swainy · 22:37, 29 May 16

Nope. I don't want publicity.

As for "spamming a load of forums" I admit that I do post elsewhere when a new episode is published but I do tend to use those forums a lot more than here so the other places don't regard it as spamming.

In any case, this is no place for a public argument that will go nowhere. Gryzor has made the point clear, just stick to it and it will be fine

What's the problem? He posted in other retro.

Yes, so? Do rules stop applying when it's in Other Retro or Off Topic?

Guess I missed the point here, saw his post after editing. Looks ok to me now. Do we have a "rules place" where we can look up rules?

Gryzor · 18:04, 31 May 16

Well, yes, we do have rules. These are described in three parts: the welcoming email new members get, here and here .

I don't find much sense in laying down numerous and specific rules; this will only irritate people and make them try to skirt them when they want to.

But your post brought my attention to the first post...

DUDE, SERIOUSLY, THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT FROM THE WHOLE DISCUSSION? THAT YOUR IMAGE WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM? ? ?

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about: @Swainy re-edited the first post, adding his ad once again but only omitting the banner image)

TFM · 18:11, 31 May 16

Thanks for pointing that out.

Swainy · 22:51, 31 May 16

Yes. I did think that was the only problem.

So, I can't link to anything no? Only I posted a link to our previous episode a few weeks back and that hasn't been deleted? I guess you had better find and edit that too.

Gryzor · 09:38, 01 June 16

Man, I really can't make it any simpler than this:

Swainy · 12:43, 01 June 16

Well I do try to participate, obviously it's not as often as you would like.

Anyway, point taken.

EgoTrip · 15:48, 01 June 16

I saw Swainy post a few (non-spam, actual discussion) threads so to me it seems like he is making an effort in participating.

Those were created straight after Gryzor pulled his ad and told him why it wasn't appropriate here. Take a look through his posts over the last few months/years. He pretty much comes here to get free advertising for his podcast.
