OK, obviously people have issues with this still, and I am hesitant to let this thread go on and turn into another RH bashing thread (atm it isn't but it can slip easily).. I will let it go on as I want to keep my reasoning as transparent as possible.. But please avoid directly attacking any forum members, or this thread will be closed without hesitation..
Originally posted by ricardobeat As an example, I collected a few recent posts that are very similar to his, some much less informative about the link offered:
They seem to be people posting a link to independant sites asking for more information or discussion. To me it is not the same as a user who constantly uses the forum to build hits on his blog. Can you imagine if everyone wrote all their opinions on their blogs and then started and answered most of their threads simply with links to the blogs.. What would be the point of having a forum?
Also these threads didn't receive numerous (or any) complaints from forum users as we constantly get from RH related threads. We sometimes close them completely as people start going too far, personally attacking RH, and then he claims we victimise him for closing his threads.

It is always personal when a user gets constant complaints, we make a (often private) request to try and keep the peace on the forum (which is our ultimate goal) and he (1) continues to disregard our requests (2) claims the moderators are liars (this is one of his ways of making it personal, and doesn't help his cause)..
Quote: I'm not against it, but why is it that RH, or anyone else, doesn't have the same right? Is XYZ special?
I'm sorry to be so blunt (I hope I don't sound angry
, but you have no knowledge of any private discussions between any individual forum members and the moderaters. Not to say anyone in particular had any discussion with us, you get the idea though? RH is not not the only person we have kindly asked to go a little above and beyond the basic forum rules to help keep the peace.. We prefer to keep this private, but RH just chooses to antagonise us..
