Hey, I apologize for this, the member has already been reprimanded an
lost all access to newsgroups through our site. No need for the rud
remarks about cpf, we're a great cell phone community and ou
moderators work hard to keep our boards free of spam. Members ar
required to have 20 posts to access newsgroups (to prevent spamming o
dumb n00b posts), and there is a warning clearly posted about newsgrou
etiquette above each newsgroup. Other forums that link to newsgroup
don't take the same precautions to protect their integrity, so pleas
understand that this is a VERY RARE occurence and we've already deal
with it. Sorry you think we're a bunch of w.nkers, hopefully I'v
helped clear up the misunderstanding. :

At least 95% of posts I have seen from "CPF" members have been moronic
posts from snotty nosed school kids that think the world revolves around
them and owes them everything.

It appears to me NONE of them even know what Usenet or Newsgroups are!

Well, at least 95% of the newsgroup posts I've seen have been foreig
scammers and spammers with cheap Nokias from Nigeria, and very rud
people with piss-poor attitudes and foul language (not you of course)
I'll take the snotty kids any day over the full-grown adults that -act
like snotty kids (a lot of newsgroup users!), at least they still hav
an opportunity to grow up but I'm afraid for people like you it's to
late. Very few of our members ever post in the newsgroups so I don'
know where you think you saw all these posts you speak of... bu
seriously, get a freakin life. You seem to have quite a chip on you
shoulder and maybe you could use some therapy to help get over it. ;

After doing so well in your previous post, you had to go and spoil it with
that diatribe pretty much proving Simon's point. (And yes, I did take note
of the smiley)

This used to be a thriving group with many experienced and knowledgable
posters who were all more than willing to help out and offer well informed
advice.  Now, as the sales of Nokia handsets haven't decreased to any
perceptible extent, one has to wonder why many of us choose not to take such
an active part of this group, or have given up on it completely.

Many of the more experienced posters have got fed up with the unflux of
users from online forums who haven't got the faintest idea where they are
actually posting to, assume that they own the place and can behave like
spoilt children.  Most of these posters have moved on to the more
professional or technical online forums leaving only one or two people here
that are willing to wade through the dross and try to help out.

Whilst the online forums have their place, they lack the immediacy of usenet
and although it's a shame to see such a once vibrant group die, that is
exactly what has happened to the alt.cellular groups.

Thank you for your response, I've seen some of your other posts in th
usenet groups and they have been informative. I'm not sure where I se
that I proved Simon's point, it would be rather ignorant to group m
with those "spoiled children who think the world revolves around the
and owes them everything" if you didn't actually know me. You need t
remember that I've been on the defensive from the beginning of thi
silly flame because Mr. Templar is so smug as to assert the forums ar
run by a bunch of w.nkers when it take only a few seconds to loo
around here and see what kind of w.nkers are posting i
alt.cellular.nokia these days (I assure you Sir I'm not talking abou
you, one of the last non-w.nkers around here).

I don't see anyone responding to the usenet spam and calling the
w.nkers, Mr. Templar. Even after I tried to offer an explanation an
apology, the jerk continued with his rants. What I've said about th
scammers, spammers, and rude attitudes here is absolutely true an
Simon Templar proved my point on the last one.

Once again, I apologize to those of you who have such harsh feeling
about forums in general, and I hope you realize that the forums
belong to really do take precautions to prevent newbies and spammers
from getting into your usenet groups, though I realize many other
forums do no such thing. I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way
about the automobile when it started replacing the horse-drawn
carriage, and eventually those who didn't switch over to the automobile
became AMISH.

Mr. Templar, one of the reasons our forums have become so popular is
that we encourage mutual respect among all members. People tend to get
turned off and never return when they see rude people running the show.
Perhaps the newsgroups would not have declined so rapidly over the past
few years if there were fewer Simon Templars running around calling
people w.nkers all the time and flaming people for being
poorly-informed.

I usually find Simon one of the more informative posters here, but it's
understandable that he sometimes "loses his rag" with some of the forum
posters.  Now whilst his original response *may* have been over the top,
your particular forum has been the source for many idiots posting over the
last couple of years who when they don't like the correct answers they are
given resort to ill-considered rants.  Even worse are the posters who
provided incorrect information and take the hump when their errors are
pointed out.

What's the point?  The spammers won't see the posts, and all that reasonably
can be done is to report the spam.  Adding smart come backs does nothing
other than add noise to the group for no good purpose.

That's a matter of opinion, and you're entitled to yours as much as he is.

Except that's a pretty poor comparison.  Usenet serves the same purpose as
an online forum without consuming bandwidth.  As I've already said, an
online forum also doesn't have the immediacy of usenet.  It's just a
different way of doing things, not necessarily better or worse, but
certainly with advantages.

To be brutally honest, I've seen very little of that when it comes to posts
from your forum that end up here or any of the other cellular newsgroups.  A
moderated forum is never going to be able to effectively police posts (and
given that usenet is basically anarchy, nor should it) to usenet, and even
if you decide to cancel posts you don't approve of, bear in mind that very
few usenet servers honour cancel requests.

Perhaps you're right, but I suspect that many usenet groups are declining
because the experienced users are fed up with the amount of noise.

Anyway, I think you have now proved that you do give a rats a.s about the
content of posts by your members, and it's nice to see one of the online
forums that feeds to usenet that has some users who care about content and
quality.

We acknowledge that in the past, some of our members got into th
usenet groups and caused some ruckus, and we wish that we had been abl
to take precautions sooner than we have. When CPF was a new site, a
with any new site, we had a period of 'adolescence' that we had t
outgrow. Some of our moderators in the past have been young an
inexperienced, and yes many of our members have been ignorant to th
concept of 'newsgroups' and some may have acted inappropriately here a
times.

However, IMHO we now have the best team of moderators we've ever ha
and the forums are very well-maintained. We don't tolerate member
flaming in the forums OR in the newsgroups, and any time this doe
occur, we take appropriate action to resolve the issue. In case you'r
wondering, TalkNokia has been permanently banned from our site. Thi
thread was the final straw, he was already barely skating around ou
spam/advertising rules and he knew it.

If you ever have a complaint about a cellphoneforums member's behavior
please feel free to use our contact form to notify us and the complain
will be taken very seriously. Our members are required to follow th
same rules here that apply on our site, and bad behavior will not b
tolerated. Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to offer a
explanation for this big misunderstanding, and hopefully you ca
forgive my own bad behavior directed at Mr. Templar. I'm very loyal t
CPF and tend to take direct insults of our site very personally, and
can understand that Mr. Templar seems to feel the same way abou
alt.cellular.nokia. :)
