Pay more attention to details. Specifically, my post count, rank, and total time on the forum. Obviously, I'm a relatively new member. I was not aware of the now-apparent fact that FC2 blogs do not allow hotlinking. I am now, and I will not make that mistake again. You needn't go berserk on everyone who makes a mistake.
Excuse me. You've been registered here for nearly three months. This thread gets new posts with stuff from there every two or three days. And you claim you haven't seen people getting lashed at because they post stuff from there and it doesn't show up?
I call bullshit.
And for the record, your post was the final straw, yet my post wasn't specifically directed at you -- it was directed at EVERYONE who posts stuff from FC2 blogs.
That gets you no respect, nor friendship.
I don't need to get either by warning or applying sensible policies or rules. My position as administrator is enough to get me the respect I do need. It may sound arrogant, yes, but that's the factual truth. People like me and respect me for what, who, and how I am, and that includes my occasional berserker barrages, not because I'm friendly (when I shouldn't be) when it comes to the time of putting a foot down on stuff that annoys not only me, but half the board as well.
EDIT: Damn pagebreak.
