My response was not an attack on you....It was simply a statement of fact. I just think it's peculiar that my post quality is criticized by your group while it can be easily demonstrated that those criticizing my post activity have post activity which is far inferior, yet they are favored by the SMAS syndicate....It makes me wonder what one has to do to get on that special secret list of acceptable spammers....that's all. What favors or donations does one have to commit to in order to avoid being targeted?
Perhaps a start would be the following: not quoting huge replies and flooding up the page, not posting recycled content in threads that have vague/general questions and hundreds of replies already (because really, even if you're "answering a question" or "adding information" it's either already been done before or is entirely pointless)
At a certain point in those threads, there is no discussion anymore and it's just a cyclic process of spammers feeding other spammers (or themselves) and whether you spam or not doesn't matter - participation in those threads is almost never useful. There are of course exceptions but replying to a "how to win at the gambling???" thread is pretty low.
And as for huge quotes: nobody wants to see that. Either snip it or split the quotes.
So....that's what this is about. Where do I find this list of acceptable threads and permitted replies?...and who maintains this list? Is that "unspoken" list of permitted threads and responses something that the SMAS syndicate controls exclusively or is there a deeper level of censorship here? And, I know that most campaigns have a minimum post requirement, but I was unaware that SMAS also requires short responses....I learned something. Who is in charge of deciding what thread is useful and what questions are permissible? Is the SMAS organization's opinion the leading authority on that subject, or will other opinions be allowed without retaliation?
To summarize my position, I don't think that one small group should be allowed to dictate which thread gets bumped and which thread gets ostracized, especially when there are obvious conflicts of interest....That sort of behavior leads to corruption, even if corruption wasn't already the motivating factor.
