Future and Policy

[scorpiogirl]

I find it amusing that Future's thread was locked and the need for "the last word" was so great that the powers of some were used for their own gratification.

Those of you who have PM'd me know the story........and thanks for wanting more information from Future. You know where to find him.

Shadow, I really think it was unbecoming and immature of you to start personally attacking Future with the name calling. Hopefully in the future you can understand that when someone PM's you giving you his phone number, he really meant no harm and was just stating his opinion AND was willing to put those opinions aside and talk to you personally. He likes to build relationships with people in the industry. He's always willing to listen and absorb.

As far as the "scammer" issue goes. He was not trying to exploit anyone, but letting people know to protect themselves. As he would say....."it's that simple". No harm intended.

And now, because I'm so tired of this subject, I'm going to stop discussing it.

wow.


Since there appears to be some revisionist historians on the board - here is the actual thread:


http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522610&page=1&pp=10






People can read it for themselves and form their own opinions.




oh...and for the record....I didnt lock THAT thread OR his training thread on here....



He was banned for posting personal information.


He was warned THREE times in 6 posts and still chose to violate board policy.



Period.


So.....Since you suggested it in another thread......why don't you do what you suggested to others???

You are plat - do some digging and find other examples of public information being posted in ANY form.....scammers or not, and back up what you are claiming??

 

[scorpiogirl]

He was never warned. The thread was pulled that he posted on a scammer. No one said anything via PM's etc.

 

[The Shadow]

He was never warned.

That thread still exists - so you may wish to consider that before I ask the following question....


Is it your contention that he was not advised to edit, delete and consult with a mod on the actual thread itself??

 

[Devastation]

i locked the other thread as i should this one. keep this bullshit off the training forum

 

[scorpiogirl]

Define exists? I looked for it after it was posted. The thread was gone. Still can't find it or would you like to put the thread back up to make yourself look right? And why wasn't a PM sent to Future over the thread? He was not warned unless it was right after the thread was posted and then removed.

 

[scorpiogirl]

Yeah, just scanned through all of Future's post. The "SCAMMER" thread isn't there. But I am sure you can make it viewable again to make yourself look correct Shadow. I am amazed and disappointed at this whole ordeal.

I understand you locking the thread. I think people abusing their power to get the last word is immature.

 

[Daisy_Girl]

He was banned for several reasons:

1) A solicitation of business post - asking for clients for his own personal training business. If you want to drum up business on EF, become a sponsor. Ef is not a place for free advertising.

2) Posting links to a supplement that is IN DIRECT COMPETITION TO EF SPONSORS. This was done in a post and in your signature. Again, if you want to drum up business for yourself, or a friend, then become a sponsor.

3) Posting a "scammer's" personal information without a moderator's or adminitation's "okay". We don't post personal information on EF. Scammer or not - doing so without permission is against EF policy.

4) Posting inflmmatory statements - without support - about EF sponsors. Not everyone has to think all EF sponsor's items are worth their weight in gold - but if you don't know anything about them, then you have no place to slam them. That goes for anything - I don't know anything about space travel, so should I start talking about how space travel is a crock of shit? NO. If you don't know about something, the way to solve that is to actually research and experience things for yourself - BEFORE talking smack.



And that is actually just the basics, "Cliff Notes" version. Stop trying to drag up drama where there is none. Your boyfriend might have been a wonderful asset to EF one day. He might have knowledge, too bad it was hidden behind a wall of ego.

Simply, if you break the TOS, then you need to face the music. There is no "behind the scenes drama" when it comes to the banning of the_future.

 

[scorpiogirl]

Dragging up drama? Don't post then, ok? It's unfair to bash someone and then not let them represent themselves while others can say whatever.

Your posting 1-5 is absolutely ridiculous Daisy.

 

[velvett]

There is no story.

Future was specifically banned for his scammer thread in which personal information had been posted - he was banned by an administrator.

I suggest you and he contact the adminstration of this board if you wish to debate this further.

Here's the post - edited.

Trust me - I dont have to do anything to make myself "look" correct.


EVERYTHING i have stated is the God's truth......whether you want to believe it or not.

The thread was COPIED to the mod board because your boy took it upon himself to post up personal information(name AND ADDRESS) about an ALLEGED scammer.

Suppose someone took it upon themselves to post up future's personal info and screamed scammer because they got shitty training advice??


Now - future could have given the best advice in the world but it wouldnt matter would it as YOUR personal info would be floating about....and it would not be concerning felonious behavior. That would suck wouldnt it??


I have been about as gracious about this shit storm as I am going to be.


As I have stated ad nauseum he was made aware of EF pilicy on the thread numerous time:

Now.......I left the names of those gentlemen - I'm sure you can contact them to verify that they indeed posted on the thread. THREE consecutive posters knew EF policy......and stated it very clearly. Please note that the posters are non-mods....ok??

That means that they posted ON THE THREAD IN ITS ORIGINAL FORUM before it was copied to the mod board......they could not have posted on it when it was moved.......its also why YOU could not see it.


Funny that you insinuated that I somehow "I made it disappear"....


Is there anything else that I have stated over and over again, to which I have not provided proof??


I didnt think so.





This thread is done......if you have an issue you are free to send a pm to Digger, BRR, George myself or any other mod.


There IS no drama involving the banning...no great conspiracy, despite what you and your boy want everyone to believe.
