So Does This Also Mean That Coders are Not Allowed To Pm or Email Members
Who Have Installed There Hacks That There As been An Update......
Good For The Goose Comes To Mind
Frankly im not here to argue, last comment before i start working on ym site, which needs more attention right now. The reason i would want to remove the other ack, is so that we know whic arcade is TRUELY better lol. The one with paid support or not. Also if v3 wins its obvious his hack of the monthis going to benefit him. for a free hack hotm is a personal satisfaction, for a premium hack hotm is more customers and something to refer to when some one says which is hould install. Please think in all dimensions thanks. Take care
Why should they remove the other arcade, they did nothing wrong.
I think this needs to be evaluated. A hack with absolutly no support from the author in the release thread. Instead you have to pay 60 dollars to get support in his premium support section on a seperate site. Yes, there is no rule against that now but I still don't see why the staff can't see how bad that situation is and remove it. It's a sad day when the staff lets that type of situation go on.
I really don't know the reason behind Johns actions. Zero releases his hack and John spends 3 sleepless nights rushing to get an incomplete hack out just to spite Zero. The whole affair smells rotten. Btw, how soon we forget what happened to the last arcade John released.
I just shot soda-pop all over the screen reading that comment about not being fair to the v3Arcade author. I'm now reading about this bru-haha on a few other sites now. It's not looking good for vb.org and it has lowered my and many other respect for this place. Just stating my opinion here...
Technically isn't this hack (v3Arcade) an paid hack since it requires a $60 donation for support?

I need to also point out that my use of the phrase "Unwritten rule" was not correct. The rule does exist and has been viewable by the public for a long time now:
The actions that would be taken (removal from the HOTM poll) was not something the public was aware of. As I've said before we will make sure everyone is aware of that next month.
Yes other hack authors have been removed from the poll (some before it was even posted) due to the same thing. Again we don't pick on certain people while letting others slide for the same thing.
Mabye tamarians hack got removed and mabye he KNEW that rule. But the maker of this arcade didnt.
I think the only reason my name was volunteered by the admins here is because I was burnt by it twice for the last two months. The first I thought was unfair, similar to this case, and the second was absolutely bogus. But there have been others, as TheGeek mentioned.
But for the record, I didn't complain, and wish MrZero didn't have to go through this. I didn't even want my name to be thrown into this as an excuse by Chris, as it's embarrasing, and implies being a spammer.
But I didn't know about the rules, and still don't know where they are. The given rules mentioned here are about the forum, not the contest, even if we accept that as a definition of spam...

The hack itself is free, there is a support thread here for user -> user support and the hack author is not required to give any support at all. Lack of support is not grounds for having it removed from the poll.
Tamarian: your name shouldn't have been mentioned, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
The rules I quoted do apply to HOTM begin they take place on the forum, although it seems that wasn't clear to everyone and that will be solved starting next month.

You forgot to add charging for support isnt grounds either. That's a horrible policy.
Can a moderator please remove my vote... It appears my vote got changed to "VBGooglemap: Google maps on your board" and I have no clue (or have the desire to find out at the moment) what this is. I think getting my vote switched to something I didn't vote for constitutes FRAUD.
