i dont want to make any waves here and i dont know if this was a first offense or if RPM-24 has been given any warnings in the past but holy cow it seems like he got hit by the ban stick pretty quick in this case. If RPM-24 is as genuinely concerned about being compliant and not breaking the rules as he seems, than wouldn't a simple warning via PM been better?

A warning could have been given via PM and it could have been established whether or not RPM-24 wanted to become a sponsor or not, rates could have been discussed etc etc

im with 1994Z28 on this one.

I realize ls1tech.com to be a cash cow and has to be regulated so there aren't solicitors. But Frank Dukes and I think the guy should be given another chance.

He can post fine. Why does he need a second chance at PMs if he doesnt plan on continuing promoting his business under the table?

The fact is, he got caught and now hes restricted, if it wasnt for ls1tech sponsors there wouldnt be a ls1tech.

Thats not even a smart argument. You need to get real. There are plenty of forums that run without 50+ sponsors----->

Im all for the rules, dont get me wrong. And I dont know the guy, nor do I really care. But your response is retarded. I bet this site makes over ( a total guess ) 5k a year. You tell me what ******* forum needs 5K a year to run? Exaclty. STFU

to be realistic, theres a real arguement to be had here, no warnings banhammer? thats always a little questionable

unless you did something really stupid,

not saying this isn't a stupid thing to do

BUT as nineball said several hundred shops blah blah blah, got banned, but you never really notice the law until it applies to you

and one pm? and still no warning?

just think its unfitting punishment for the crime

Well, the fact is all of my PM's on this board were from other members asking me advice. I told them things I knew. I did not try to get them in my shop.

Like I said before. Let me know what I need to bring to the table to become a sponsor here. I would love to promote my buisness here, even though it might TICK other sponsors off.

Thanks and hope to here from you.

RPM-24 - nice response. Good way to reinforce why you're on restricted status. Thanks

Have you ever seen the usage statistics for a site that pulls this kind of traffic and bandwidth utilization before? Ever priced what it costs for high end enterprise servers in co-located facilities, with the pipe to fit all that traffic? If not, don't post again in this thread. If you have, then you'd not have made the above comment. You are making yourself look like a little stupid.


As for other folks - there have been clear cut policies in place for many months now outlining non-sponsor rules and the repercussions of violating said policies. As a member/sponsor of this forum, it is YOUR responsibility to read these policies, NOT OURS. As such, any warning at all is just a nicety, especially with over 100k members.

The admin's have spoken - if the OP wants to continue this discussion, he needs to take it to email with the them.
