Well you managed to post here?

I think you are telling lies perhaps?

Provide a screenshot.

Don't think a member can post in the offers category.

Sorry, I broke a rule about replying to dead thread. I take old threads don't automatically lock. Some forum software does this... but I guess Vanilla forum doesn't have this feature? (hope May 2018 is not considered old thread).

willie

We don't automatically lock old threads because some topics are of continuing interest and new posts can be relevant. Other times (someone asked a question years ago but it's long since lost relevance) it's best to not revive the thread unless you have something of real current interest to contribute.

Thread revival isn't a bad problem in its own right, but when new users do it without obvious good reasons, it's often simply someone cluttering up the board to get their post count up so they can ask for a provider tag or the like. That's why we tend to clamp down when that happens.

I got warning due to wishing cancer and I said why. So, let is not a place for free speech?

Anyway, I love LET. I think professional manner is what I need to maintain.

Are you trying to get banned? Wishing death/cancer/etc. is rude and devalues human life.

Let him keep doing what he does.

Hey thanks. Not going do that again I promise.
As I'm new , mod could warn me in DM.

Rules are observed.

Thanks to all.

deank

Well, it's generally common sense.

You don't wish ill on someone else's well being. Human basic decency 101.

saibal

Well, this place is changing.

OmgpleaseRead

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

As you’re new, you’re lucky you didn’t get instabanned.

Warnings are non public, only you can see them. We’ve discussed this in DM already. If you try to convince me any further that you have a moral obligation to wish cancer upon people, then good luck to you...

you are obviously very young and have not seen that first hand, you are clearly very immature, I hope you never have to learn why a lot of people here consider you the scum of the earth right now.

I asked you why would you wish that for anyone, can't recall what asshat reason you gave but it's not some kind of special rule but common human decency. Cancer is horrible and wishing some gets it, I can never imagine!!!!

HORRIBLE, YOU ARE.

Personal issues regarding hidden data theft.Which they resolved in 1 year.

I won't talk on this anymore. 1 thing I want to say - people who does bad intentionally should get bad. Today or tomorrow. We're all human but in order to be alive - we don't need killing and abusing each other? Correct?

Don't ask me more buddy.

AnthonySmith

Then you have "bad" coming your way.

Under the previous administration, you would have been banned. Count your blessings while you still can.

AuroraZ

We need something in place to the effect of if they don't ask for an offer don't give them one.

If some one asks a question they aren't looking for offers. They are curious and maybe just maybe looking for answers, or to be pointed in a direction to get an answer.

My rule of thumb here is that any thread on the first 2 pages is fair game. After that, you need a good reason to bump, a requirement increasing with thread age.

Ok.

@Jarland where have the offer posting rules gone?

Separated into this thread: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/91406/rules-for-selling-on-lowendtalk

apologies if this isn't relevant. I'm a new member here trying to clue myself up with your rules. Tried visiting this linked post and it goes to a permissions error page! errmm where can I find those rules? also looking for info on the provider tag but cannot seem to find anything. Are these rules a bit too simple for me to understand what is allowed and what isn't? not here to spam but to provide a bit of value (I hope)... A push in the right direction would be appreciated

Read the board for a month or two.

Until you know, about the Buffaloe.

That is all.

PiratesHosting.com
Yeah i know "Pirates" doesn't sounds good but we are up from July 2017.

Last month we about to change name but at the last moment we spent money on our servers.

I do register here before but due to violate of rule i were banned. I won't advertise until i get the provider tag.

I mention my company name only because you asked.

No worries. The ban happened a while back so I guess it's fine since you're following the rules this time around.

As for your message: others have answered you already but the tag is not assigned automatically. You must send a request through the ticket system (https://support.lowendtalk.com) and meet the requirements as well.

I’d appreciate it if you posted more than a few words every post.

(The rules state that you have to make quality posts.)
