We have all done it. If the rules of this forum are enforced here to its fullest, people will not post here. I have seen things worse than post padding, but it goes ignored. There are rules that are not enforced, this is supposed to be a strictly a sports forum but that is not always the case here. Someone posting something similar to their original post or someone else is now an issue.I know the reasons why my post was removed but i wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I am not going to go into a power struggle with anyone, back and forth with anyone. I am simply a poster. As soon as i made that last schedule post i knew it was going to be a problem with a mod/mods because a mod made a similar post. I was going to be attacked for it. I hesitated posting it. It is truly sad. I re-post things online to add to the discussion here, to add to the excitement yet i am attacked for it. I am done doing that.
I will simply not re-post the things off social media here. No one has the time to scroll up and down every page, even though i do it , at least sometimes to see if someone posted something similar to theirs before reading the whole page/pages. Posting similar things has not being an issue until recently. It is just not worth it. I am not going to monitor every single post i make, should i post it or not, should i remove it or not, is it going to removed. It takes the joy of being in a forum, and it takes time, and energy to do that. It wouldn't stop at posts off online/social media but my opinions. I accept the rules of this forum even if i don't agree with them, and i have moved on.
I have moved on. I am going to mostly read the forum, and rarely post. It is just better that way. I follow the rules here to the best of my abilities yet it doesn't stop some people from going after me. I am all set with re-posting things here. Yes you have to follow the rules and watch what you say, but not to the extent of watching everything you say, every word. At that point why even be in the forum.
You are genuinely one of the nicest people on this forum and I bet most here would agree. I don't think anyone here dislikes you.
I havent read all so I dont know the current circumstances of this post but still.
A very big tip for Afam though: dont take things so personal. Dont make these I-wont-ever-post-anymore-decisions so often as you do and even if you tend to do that, just think it and try to do it. Dont write it down because you will get clowned when you do come back. If I wrote down my intentions of quitting to smoke people’d call me out too. Also very important to not let anything on here affect your feelings or something. This is just a messageboard with people of all sorts. People you’d avoid in real life but here they are. Just ignore them without even saying it. It works.
