What is there to discuss exactly - your own admin stated quite clearly ;

It's becoming clear to me (and others) now that this is just staff with an axe to grind against certain members. Nothing at all has been learned from the last few days and the way things are going another person will be joining the ranks of those who have left (no doubt to the joy of some).

The decision was a staff decision and I acted upon it - The PM's were half-way completed in notepad when this thread was made - Once it existed I saw no reason to continue to PM anyone due to the existance of this thread...

I understand that. I hold no offence to not PMing me about HOTM. This thread was made very quicly. But...

Quote:
This doesn't rule out that the fact that you never PMed the offending users.
when and before this rule was created. You had weeks to PM them. If you PM them before, none of this would have happen.

Paul is also right. They didn't break any rules. Stright from the admin himself.

The decision about that is something that has not yet been completely reached - Therefore PM'ing early was not possible...

Has no-one actually stopped to consider the number of modifications that are on this site. Yes the staff may well have known about it for weeks, but validating every single modification, which I am sure they will have had to do, takes a lot of time and effort. As none of the staff get paid to do this, they will not have been working on it full time, but fitting it in as and when they could. It is entirely possible that they did not complete this process until today.

There site, their rules... they have the right to change them as they see fit and to respond to "issues" accordingly. This is not a demoracy and you do not have the right to 'demand' any kind of treatment other than what is afforded you.

I say this because people need to take a step back away from the keyboard and get a fresh perspective. HOTM is not the key to success in life, nor should you put so much value in it that you would willingly spend hours of your day fighting a decision that was made in the best interests of all the members.

You might not like it, but I think the owners of the site are doing the best they can under the circumstances and this is not the way to express your displeasure.

/me begins to make kissing sounds

So basicly, I should just shut the hell up and deal with it? Thats a much better way to handle the situation.
