Private Section Public Rules
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 9:40 amIt is unfortunate that people could not figure this out for themselves but I expected this to happen before I even made the section.
Because of the number of requests people have for getting into the Private section a new very strict rule will be in effect from now forth.
The Rule
You can not get into the Private section by politely requesting, begging, or demanding, publicly or privately.
If you PM me or e-mail me asking how to get into the Private section or asking to get in, but you are not someone I was already planning to add anyway, then I will reply with nothing but a link to this topic.
After this, you will have 24 hours to post a reply to this topic with an apology. In 24 hours, if no apology is posted, you will be banned from the forum.
If it is your second offense (or more), you will be banned immediately.
In all cases, you will never be considered for permissions to enter the Private section.
To summarize: Asking about the Private section or asking to get in always ruins your chances of ever getting in, and sometimes results in a ban. However if you are someone who I was already planning to add then this does not apply.
Annoying a moderator results in the same penalty.
The Apology
The apology posted as a reply to this topic must be at least 20 words in length and must contain the name of the person you PM’ed or e-mailed.
Your apology must also state that you will never do it again and you must “pinky promise” that this is true.
