Dear Johno,

Asides from making spurious comments to the Smith's i do feel you should have some common sense in posting and refrain from using multiple smiles -D like these since one or two is well enough to express your emotion with these little emoticons. If members just like the excitement of clicking on them multiple times as if these emoticons are going to speak or jump in front of you, thats not fun at all because it obstructs the text and neatness of the board. and i will consider removing them as an option to the post as it gets misused rather than used.

I must press the issue that this is a "free" community site for the masses. And by asserting that you "might" feel irresponsible as asserted by Sundance; you have yet to proove to me and the community members if you would mind about the well being of this discussion topic or at least being sensible to the other community members. Not doing this really undermines the effort of respected community members who are here without any compensation and my self doing long hours and supporting this site.

As I do not directly ban or block users with bad grammar or a low sense of humour on my boards, its nice that other members help you along but do have some respect. please. I don't think that many other board administrators are going to bother explaining all this knowing you might retaliate or not come back by doing what I do.

Altough you have a high post count, I do strongly beleive that not all of them are worth toward your post count. as you have alot of posts in contradiction to the Posting rules especially the guide lines. After i have rectified a few issues i will be cleaning up some of these non-sense posts.

Thanks very much for other members who obviosly rang alarm prior to this open assertion by you that you don't mind, i am not having it going to press this issue again with you so i have removed access to the discussion board until you really get your gumption back together. I suggest you follow my communication to you by email to rectify the matter.

I am not going to be nice every day like this if members start to take your example. so this is a harsh action but necessary to maintain the board to the standards it deserves with the normal effort it should take. as this is "i press: a free" information website with the very low amount of neat advertising nor "any" of the pop ups/unders you might see on similar information sites. so you and other members alike should be feeling atleast responsible a bit or even gartified that i am not requesting donations for the maintenance of the site.

A note to other members reading this post by chance: This will obviously not be the last incident requiring a speech by myself. Its appreciated if I continue to get the input I get now to improve the site. I will have more time to devote my energy and time with community members and value the alertness and care you are taking for community board like this. It really shows the power of the internet can be great if not misused.
