No one asked for a link, and since you link to another forum, this is unsolicited spam.

This was not an advertisement, nor was it unsolicited. The topic of discussion was about the Nürburgring Diaries, which had been moved to the aforementioned link. Using that link will take you directly to the Diaries themselves. The post before mine was to the site's main page, which is summarily deleted for spamming every time it is linked, hence my comment and re-post of the direct URL to the Diaries, the topic of discussion.

The topic creator had begun a discussion EXPRESSLY about the Diaries, which whether or not it was a direct request "Ring Diaries, plz" it still opened the floor for someone to link to the new location of the Diaries. Since the topic was ABOUT the Nürburgring Diaries, and since I posted a direct URL TO the Diaries page, this post does NOT qualify as spamming. This post was in context with the discussion at hand.

Had I just used the link to the main page of the site, I can understand that being deleted for spamming. It does not have any relevance to the issue of the topic, and it also appears as though one is trying to steal users from here. However, the topic was created to discuss the Nürburgring Diaries, so I posted a link TO THE DIARIES, nothing more, nothing less. It was EXACTLY on-topic, whether a request was expressed verbatim or not. It was exactly in the vein of discussion. It wasn't as though someone was just talking about GT4 in general, so I popped in with a random link.

Marked for spamming by posting a SINGLE DIRECT link to an ON TOPIC site? Good god, don't these guys have anything better to do?

they're motherfucking douchewads. that simple.

You really should never bother to fight something like this. You know for a fact that they'll do anything they can to prevent their nooby-ass members from realizing that there are better websites out there.

It's like they're running a f#cking cult, and who in their right mind would expect to get anywhere in an argument with a cult leader by using logic/truth/etc?

Sometimes I think of applying to be a mod, but when I see how most of them react to this kind of situations which could be easily resolved with common sense, I on the other hand think that I don't want be in any way associated with them.

I would apply to be a mod, but i know with my history, they'd never do it.

You can't now, your short on karma

I think they should require people to use the word "douchebag" in their application, instead of the word "angst". Far more appropriate.

"Dear gamefaqs ModS & Co.

I believe that i would be an excellent choice for anew moderator. Yes, I am low on karma. Yes, I have many, MANY moderations, warnings, and suspensions on my account. Including what is most likely over a dozen in the last month. I swear, spam, censor bypass, and am a general nuisance to you poor bastards.

However, that is my best quality. you see, you guys have been slippin of late, and your public view has dropped. The people of this cul- er, message board conglomerate are beginning to search elsewhere for their gaming help. Some are even making their own boards! This is not right. We must stop this.

How, you say, can we stop this? Obviously, the Nazi regime you douchewads have in place now doesn't work. Since people are leaving quicker than they are coming. If I am made mod, I will do my level best to get this failure of a site back on the win-o-meter. That means not modding people for stuff that is on topic, getting rid of trolls, and not letting myself be swayed because some douchebag has me in his pocket (You all know who I'm talking about. t3h DuRZ). I'll do something you spineless wastes of sperm couldn't manage to do...my job as a mod. You guys frankly, suck.

However, I believe i am the winning factor in this equation of endless failure. I am the anomaly. I am the enigma. I am the shapeless force that can lead gamefaqs to GLORY!....

I! AM! TUPACRULEZ!"

Do you think that'd sway them anyway?

^^Do it for the lulz

[MacktasticSlick]

Hell yeah, do it for shits and giggles.
