Recruiting...The Discussion

as to being able to read PM's on vBB

Read PMs - vBulletin.org Forum

That's a add-on, NOT standard vBulletin abilities.

Well maybe they can't and maybe they can. The PMs Gunny referred to in his EDICT were brought to him by disgruntled members that were supposedly banned at another site. They were all good with the invite until they allegedly got bit. THEN in retribution they presented the PMs with the invite to Gunny. If all THAT is true then it is highly likely if they were still welcome ATOP then they would not have acted like the scurvy rats that they are.

That said...I couldn't care any less about the drama with some other site. What I do care about is that this little back biting drama has grown into something a little more troubling.

IMO Gunny or any mod should not get involved with the content of PM's. Unfortunately now PMs are not sacred. I don't like that. It used to be that it took permission by both parties to reveal the content of a PM. Now the door has been chewed open by a couple of rats and Gunny reacting to protect his MB has gone too far. I feel he should have warned all parties ...the two for being disgusting snitches and the senders of the PMs for recruiting...if that is what really happened. I see a distinct difference between casually mentioning an interesting site and actively attempting to steal members.

The person who invited me over there is still here so obviously I didn't send Gunny any PM.. So you perhaps should retract.

OK. Fair enough. You think I am accusing you personally. I'm not sure I mentioned the logon "Willow" in any of this with the exception in reference to a comment I made that you are trying real hard to "take one for the team".

Let's take another look at the REAL source of my concern.

"ANNOUNCEMENT -- Recruiting for Other Boards
If I am made aware of members here recruiting for other message boards via PM on this website, the recruting member will be permanently banned and I will NOT entertain pleas to lift said ban.

That's low-life BS and speaks volumes concerning lack of integrity.

FYI: Though I will not read anyone's PMs that aren't forwarded to me by other members; which, as Admin is perfectly legit to do, if I suspect anyone of engaging in such practice I CAN and WILL and HAVE deleted all messages sent by user."

If we are to take Gunny at his word...AND I always have. SOMEBODY forwarded their invite to him which started this all in motion.

So who do you want to make the retraction Willow? Me?, Gunny?

well...since all the pms I ever got from Madeline were vaporized I think it is safe to guess that someone she invited told the big guy.

I have no idea who it was and don't care to speculate. I am 100% positive it wasn't me.

it was probably done by the CIA.

Whatever happens between you and Gunny is between you and Gunny. Now If you're man enough go ask him. to his face.

"To his face?" Willow... What the fuck are you rambling on about? Maybe you missed the post where I said I sent Gunny a PM before starting this thread. Maybe you somehow think Gunny has not had this thread brought to his attention. Maybe you are just as dumb as a bag of doorknobs.

You are funny at times. My "manliness" is doing just fine...I think it is...let me check...Yup..everything still there.. Thanks for your concern.

 

[boedicca]

Will Gunny ban people for emailing other posters about another message board?

How about if we solicit members via USMail? I was able to get a mailing list from Pubes before he left.

What if we communicate via PM using esparanto?

Using the U.S. Post Office makes it a Federal Offense. Watch out! The Homeland Security folks will be showing up at your house soon for the full body pat down.

Maybe. Maybe it was the FBI. I hear they're planning to investigate Gunny for daring to allow free speech on his board.

Ask Huggy for a members list. I was banned. I don't know the status of anyone else.
