Didn't someone make a script so that people would stop whining about that?
I was PMed by Staff here and was told to stop posting with right align. When I questioned him whether or not it was a rule, he stated it wasn't (Which is true, obviously), yet threatened to revoke my privileges of obtaining the support feather on HF. I've PMed Omni asking if I'm eligible, and he has stated that I'm not. I followed all rules, etc. I fear that the Staff member de-authorized me so that I could not obtain the feather, which is a poor thing to do considering I've not right aligned a single post since his first PM.
Quote:How so though? that it is "a bunch of crap"? The majority of users conform to the same standard, and it resulting in a lesser activity from you is still completely upon your own personal decision. Not whoever confronted you about the alignment issue.
There was a rule about annoying signatures in the rules I believe, so I think the same kind of standard should apply to posts as well. Even though I only personally just questioned why you right aligned your posts. I had no problem with it past that, it's just hard to get used to when you read everything else that is left aligned.
I feel that it is "a bunch of crap" because I don't think Staff should be getting involved with how one types, I feel they have better things to do. Though that reason is small, my main reason is this: I have been contributing to these forums for the short time I've been here, barely two days, and I'm really liking this forum. Right aligning is a habit. For instance, I just now had to remove the right aligning script from my post, I inserted it w/o knowing I even did. The annoying signature rule is referring the pictures, and gifs, generally, I assume; not text.
The Staff that contacted me essentially said that my posts were low quality solely because of where they were posted. We exchanged a couple PMs, and when I feel that I had the 'lead' of the conversation, he decides to stop PMing me. I'm not sure if he stopped because he was fed up, knew he could not rebuke my argument, was sick and tired of PMing, didn't even read the message and got offline or w/e (Tracking isn't enabled? I can't track any PMs), or for another reason, but I feel that is a very stupid reason to 'get onto' a member that might possibly turn out to be a great one.
It's frustrating.
Sorry if the above messages don't make too much sense.
EDIT; Sorry if those are bad points as well, I feel they're decent. I don't want to type up five pages worth.
