I'll go create a "Post your wildest fantasy with a mod/admin"

Reminds me of fun times with Cara and Keldyn back when the Chat was new and popular.:DD

Whips and chains and leather!:woot::

But seriously, on topic. Only post your thread I'll comment on would be the member picture one. I don't remember myself participating in any others. I could agree and disagree on this one. I agree that we could put our pictures in our profiles, however, we're limited to the size. So on the other hand this thread is good and serves a purpose if we'd ever want to see a bigger and/or higher quality picture of a member. In my opinion, since it is a Neowin member picture thread, it should be pinned.

Cara is still here and popular, she just likes to stay in the Mac section.

Wickedkitten too I noticed. She had a birthday not too long ago. I remember last year I made a thread for her. :)

There are no specific rules when it comes to Post your threads.. I think this has been said a number of times in this thread already so please don't start sounding like a broken record because its already been explained in depth.

Seems you have a big problem with this so either get to the point or drop it.

Thanks :)

If a moderator closes a Post your.. thread and you feel that this was unwarranted action you are free to contact both the moderator in question and an admin to reverse the decision.

I think that this rule, allowing users to appeal, is one of the most generous ones around. Even moderators have a bad day and sometimes over-react. They are human, after all. Besides, there are sites that ban you for contacting other moderators or admins trying to get an appeal/reversal and the fact that you allow users a voice is one of the things that sets Neowin apart, I think. Thanks for this. (Y)

I remember making the thread titled "Post Your Favorite Computer Pranks" and seriously debating on using the specific words "Post Your" in the title. I decided to just use "Post Your" instead of "What Are" just because I remembered the actual rule. I thought my thread was beneficial to the community. It wasn't a stupid thread like "Post Your Carpet".

And what if it was? It would have been moderated and locked. If mods didn't feel that my thread was beneficial, it would have been locked. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have kept me up at night worrying about it.

It's a community guys. You can't always please everyone. You have to try to please as many people as you can at once and have an overall acceptance to work with.

Moderating is a difficult job and I give all the Mod's/Admins a lot of credit for having to make such decisions all the time. Give them a break. Considering the amount of posts, PM's, Reports, Name Changes, etc. they get everytime they log-on to Neowin, I'm suprised they have enough time to moderate the site at all. Moderators on Neowin are also quite friendly and available to help without much/if any issue at all. Try this with other forums. You can get banned/warned just for contacting moderators.

If you don't like a thread, don't read it. It's not that difficult of a decision. The "Post Your" rule is in effect and has cleaned up things a hell of a lot compared to what it was. Get a grip and move along to the next topic of interest.

^ He's a pervert, what do you expect? lol

Actually no I'm not. Only trying to have some fun and cheer up some people that seem kind of down on here lately.

Don't lie to me and tell me that you wouldn't hit that if that was standing in front of you doing that?

No, I would not. I'd be afraid of catching some kind of venereal disease.:x:x

God someone any1 want to get this topic back on track cuz at the moment its way off course as I remember we where talking about "post your" topics. Not hailing abuse at each other and calling them perverts.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's your point? :huh: I only shared mine 7 times, that's not really a lot. :unsure: Or was your point just the fact how many times in general any Britney Spears pictures have been posted recently or at all on Neowin? :wacko:

You wouldn't understand my point. You proved it by asking.

Now I'm even more confused. :ermm: I'm going to guess next that my Britney picture was the most commonly posted one than and because it was by me, that was scary. Or something.
