PrivMsgs from vbulletin-fr.com

[Floris]

I am getting sick and tired getting contacted by members and staff members from vbulletin-fr.com with the same default PM and/or email each time with the request to get work copied or translated.


NO NO NO
You do NOT have permission to distribute or translate my work in any form. EVER. That goes for anybody and stop sending me privmsgs and emails.
I REPEAT: NO!


This is a message from Yanick at vBulletin.org Forum ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/index.php ). The vBulletin.org Forum owners cannot accept any responsibility for the contents of the email.
To email Yanick, you can use this online form:

OR, by email: bluesrockspirit@hotmail.com

This is the message:

Hi,

My name is <REMOVED BY OFFENSIVE USER> and I was wondering if I could translate your hack (view privates messages) to french and post it on a vbulletin-french related site. You would keep all the credits. If you want to, just send my an e-mail with the files for the hack attached to it (I'm only a translater at this time, I dont own Vbulletin). The website where I will put it is http://www.vbulletin-fr.com (http://www.vbulletin-fr.com/)

I'll understand if you don't want me to translate it. Thank you

[Dpcows]

How often do we have to go trough this ??

[Floris]

Every x times I receive these dumb msgs I will let the admins of that site know.
I am not doing it after each msg. It appears they don't know how to stop their harrashment.

[TouchingVirus]

floris, can i translate your work?

[TouchingVirus]

Please note, the above post was just made in jest. I have no intention of translating anyone's work :)

[Floris]

Rather not :>

Floris, I'm speeking as vbulletin-fr.com webmaster. I'm afraid but Yanick X... is not a team member or translator at all on vbulletin-fr.com. There are only 4 persons who can send emails with my autorisation : me (webmaster@vbulletin-fr.com), Akex (akex@vbulletin-fr.com), Pitchoune (pitchoune@vbulletin-fr.com) and Socrate (new mail to be created). We have a complete listing of all people who have been emailed before and WE KNOW you don't accept any translation.

After a research, I've found that Yanick X... is a registered member of our forum. He has also tried to obtain hacks illegaly and sent PM to our moderators. I'm going to ban him from vbulletin-fr.com. I don't know how he could access to vbulletin.org : he has no licence.

I'm sorry but vbulletin-fr.com can't be responsible for foolish messages of french stupid users.

[Floris]

Thank you for explaining the situation from your point of view.

[Gary King]

Anyways, I don't think there is anything wrong with a .fr site of vBulletin.org in my opinion. I am part French(-speaking :p) and I even asked to be admin there :D Sadly, my request was declined :(

:p

[Sophocle]

I love your signature ;) 500 times, really ? I promise I'll ban all the users who will contact you t have your permission to translate your word. Your opinion is very well known :)

[Lumina]

Floris, please...
Things were already explained here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79809

We have a list of people who said yes, and people who said no. So we never ask again to people that are already on our lists. And when there is a mistake, just tell me, or Sophocle, or Albibak, or whoever is an administrator, and the correction will be made right away just like it was done for KuraFire:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=518314&postcount=30

So people who keep asking cannot be us.

Thank you Floris

[PitchouneN64ngc]

...Pitchoune (pitchoune@vbulletin-fr.com)... Yes, I'm here! :)

[Floris]

Gary W ?
Didn't you release hacks on vborg that aren't written by you? Yeah I think so, pm.zip was released by you earlier today, stefan removed it i think.

I'm okay with that, I gave credit to the original hack author and I just found out your hack was released before mine.

Anyways, I started off on a light note, so there is no need to bring it down :) (Probably because you think I'm supporting vbulletin-fr.com?)

Socrate => socrate@vbulletin-fr.com

[Akex]

So Floris, when somebody asks you for permission and tells he's from vbulletin-fr let us know (Sophocle or me) by pm. We will do the necessary.

[Floris]

So you release hacks by others and just credit the author and then its ok? :) Can I do that with the source code of vbulletin ?

Good point, but also different as well. I don't want to start a whole discussion here, but hey, if any of my hacks should be removed, then so be it :)

Hello <username>, My Name Is Socrate.
I?m a member of vBulletin-Fr.com team.
http://forum.vbulletin-fr.com
It?s the unofficial French support website.
We are working hard to translate all language and style sets and we try to translate the most useful hacks. We also develop hacks we share on vbulletin.org.
I?ve noticed you?ve made excellent hacks, especially Y one.
In accordance with the vbulletin's licence and with your copyright, I ask you to allow us to translate your hacks (past and future) and to post them on our French forum.
Of course, we?ll respect your copyright and we?ll remind users of:
- Author?s name
- Translator?s name
- Link to the original Hack at vbulletin.org
- "This release is done with prior consent of the hack author"
- "Hack code is for your visitors usage only, can not be re-released, distributed, published without consent of the hack author."
- "Support of this hack is only available at vbulletintemplates.com"
All those elements will be available in the downloading post and in the install file of your translated hack.
You can see an example a translated hack on our board:
http://forum.vbulletin-fr.com/showthread.php?t=4051
We?ll never re-release your hacks and will just distribute and publish them on our board.
At this time, we have collected 89 authorizations. I would appreciate a positive answer.
Many thanks.

That thread's closed now, so I'll thank you for the correction in here. :):up:

We should look into a steady solution for this problem. I've already got some good ideas which I'll be working out, but they're in early stages so far...

I'm sorry but I don't exactly understand. What does it mean ? Did Socrate send you 4 permissions PM ? Where did he send thoses PM ? With which account ?

As I told you before, I would prefer an email to solve such a trouble. It's not very difficult...

[TouchingVirus]

Sorry floris, but i think i agree a pm/email would stop all this or at least take it away from public viewing.. no one wants to start a war here lol :P

[b]If you want to, just send my an e-mail with the files for the hack attached to it (I'm only a translater at this time, I dont own Vbulletin). The website where I will put it is http://www.vbulletin-fr.com

Never send any hack files from vB.org to anyone asking for it ever. If they have to ask for it, they don't have access to it, because they are not a licensed vB owner. So they have no reason to get them.

Floris, after your banishment of your site, I have never to send MP has your members.

To avoid in the future to send personal mall to me, one does not have to keep the pigs unit OK?

Another thing, your signature is an insult has our site, I require of the Administrator to react has that, I find that that is a lack of respect which characterizes well the spirit of Floris has the regard of French.

Moreover, if you a problem with Vbulletin-Fr has, I would be to you liking to agree to express you on the site to concern.

Personally, if I have a problem with a person, I go has the source, in this precise case our site, then if like us, you has courage to express you at the site in question, we will answer with the tacte which will correspond you.

I've been licensee for two years (with multiple licenses) and I've allways payed the renewal of my licenses. I had just made a mistake in my email (to test a function) and did not receive an verification email. I thought the old email would be restored after 24 hours but I was wrong... All is correct now.

Floris, could you please change your signature ? I would prefer not to ask a moderator for changing your signature because of your slandering. I've explained Yanick wasn't a staff member of vbulletin-fr.com and had been also banned from our forum because he harassed some of us. The problem is fixed, isn't it ? You've been in touch with two persons of our staff before : Corbu then Socrate who made a mistake and apologized for it. We know you are always anti-french but I think you are over the borderline when you show your signature.

I have to agree, but I guess floris will change it once he reads this post :)

Well, the anti-french has become after receiving only annoyance from french users. I can't really call it anything else, if these kind of emails only come from the french users, not from the vietnamese who don't ask and just rip and distro it, or the spanish or the arabic.

I will change the signature to exclude the french. because i agree with you on that part.

It worked though, because since this I have not received any pm,email anymore. not by unlicensed members, nor vb fr staff members.

Peace and love !
