I used to work as an I.T. Admin at a University. It was an amazing job and it started off great. The only thing was, the lady that worked with me. We worked in the SERVICE of others and were expected to listen to our users and implement solutions. I was always helpful and people loved me for it. Carla on the other hand was not. Whenever presented with a problem, issue or request it was bonkers how she would respond. She was the antithesis of Help and I.T.. She would talk down to the users, say NO to their requests with some 'Technical' reason and just was the most unhelpful person I have ever encountered. It was so shocking to me I did not understand how she could be that way. It was always, "No, It's your fault, or Sorry can't help you." It was literally never YES, or pleasant for the end users. She would spend 2 hrs composing an email to bash an idea or project and one time, REASONS why we should not use Space Heaters in the office per University policy. It was horrendous working with her.
Today I am seeing this same thing. Nothing I did was intentional or with any wrong doing in mind. Our ANN was read like 1,500 times? It was nothing. I already explained that I was unaware of said rules regardless of were they were posted. For the most part I always try to be positive and don't like to argue or fight with people. I will simply stay pleasant. After I was told NOT to do this I did tell people on the ANN not to expect anything or bonuses for posting on here. Perhaps my wording was not to your liking and you just don't care. I understand that. That's what you guys want to do.
But looking for reasons, including going to my discord to find an announcement to come post here etc, is the same thing Carla did. Just not wanting to listen or help the end user. (me) Had I known how strict this place was believe me, this would not have happened. But you guys are something else, you attack, accuse me of scamming or doing nefarious things and NONE of that is true.
I simply admit that I made a mistake and I tried to fix it BEFORE you guys banned me for 30 days unexpectedly. There was NEVER any ill will. I am sorry for that mistake and misunderstanding.
Given the previous responses I don't expect anything different and it saddens me a bit. But I also get where you are coming from given the nature of Bitcointalk and legit scams taking place everyday. I just think blindly accusing people is not right. Again, thank you for your time. I am sorry that we initially asked for users to post wallet addresses on here and it will never happen again.
Have a good night.
No offense, but I'm not customer support, IT admin or your personal concierge. I'm a forum moderator and my job is to keep the forum tidy as per the policies laid out by Bitcointalk's administration. While I can understand and often take a much more lenient view towards other rule offenses (everyone makes mistakes), on-forum altcoin giveaways have (AFAIK) historically been the second largest contributor to spam in the altcoin sections (right behind the other source of incentivized posting - signature campaigns; the forum administration hasn't prohibited those though), which is why I have a zero tolerance policy towards such campaigns. As an altcoin section mod, I've heard numerous excuses of how someone running an altcoin giveaway "didn't know" despite warnings plastered all across the board but after the 100*n'th time, these excuses fall on deaf ears.
It really is never ending. It will be rubbed in my face forever. I wholly and completely except I screwed up and it wont happen again.
