MUST READ: Im Sorry

....Please read this whole thread....

Fellow AO members it has come to my attention that I have been getting more negitave antipoints lately due to the blunt nature of my threads content. For this I am deeply sorry. I am sorry if I have offended you in any way, or if I have caused you any type of troble. Along with my apology im happy to announce that I will be turning over a new leaf. From this day forward I will no longer use any type of blunt content in any other AO members threads. Any threads that I post with blunt content will be labeled (Blunt:Title) in the subject. This way you can avoid any threads of mine that contain blunt content. Once again im deeply sorry if I have offended you, or have caused you any problems.

Sincerely
System_0verload

You have not offended me. But good luck with turning over a new leaf

Thanks for your support Bro...

System_0verload

I also am glad to see you turning over a new leaf. In the future instead of putting the Blunt:title in the subject, try using the hide this post check box. Thats what it is there for. Then anybody that views your post will know what to expect. Good luck.

Thanks for the info xmaddness I had no idea that was even there.... *lol* (Feels real smart)

Way go go SO! If you ever need anything, just let me know.

God bless,

PS: I tried giving you a few greenies for this post, but I gave you reddies too recently... I'll get them to you when I get a chance :)

Thanks PhirePhreak!!! Maybe some day I will get back on the green side... It's going to take some work, but im sure I will get there......

Same goes for me System_Overload. :)

I've always enjoyed reading how you wrote your posts with such blunt truth!

But I can see how people can not enjoy such a thing :(

Hope you do good, best of luck!

Good luck System_Overload. I also have to agree to check the "hide post" option if you want to be blunt.

I have an idea... Thank you to everyone that has replyed to this thread, and to everyone that is going to reply to this thread... Your support is greatly appreciated during this time of change.

S_O: here is my wish for you
May only good things happen to you
Hope to see the reds tumble one by one

Goodluck

Hmm...I'm sorry to say this, but the idea you have to apoligize for yourself doesn't strike right with me. I am currently a member of a gothic/industrial board, and it seems that everyone there has some drama they bring up every now and then. It saddens me to realize that no board is safe from such drama. But I'm going to give you some greenies anyways, just 'cause I'm a nice guy :)

Why are you apologizing for speaking your mind? There are a few people who will always find fault with others no matter what. This is called office politics in the "real world" dont let it control what you say or think thats just wrong!!!!Delstar is right when relating that its not right to have apologize for what you say another word for that is censorship and no one has the right to censor you. Well maybe JP or Ennis but even they won`t unless what is said is about illegal crap. Sorry but it pisses me off when other people use bully tactics to control what is said. Yes bullying can happen by people ganging up on one and flooding them with negitive points, this makes a person feel like they don`t belong. Anyways thats my thoughts on this, I`ve said my piece given my points, so deal with it.

Although lostit44 has a point in some of the things he said, even when we speak our mind we have to respect others and the community in where we belong to...
I really liked System_Overload's post, it's not about to stop being him or don't say things that he would like to say.
A person can mantain his/her personallity while paying attention and moderating some words (or using the hide post check box he he he.... )...

In my opinion it's a great effort by system_overload to be more integrated in this forum....

You have my support too, system......

If there's anything that my thin knowledge of computers can help, just ask....

*looks around..*

*smiles*

SO - no probs here.
Cheers.

Never bothered me, you posting blunt threads and the like, but if this is what you feel you need to do, then do it. I, myself, enjoy being criticized...it makes me mad sometimes, if it is unjust, but if it is actually point-laden then it's all good. Good luck getting on the green side.


BTW: Can anyone answer me this? If someone with red dots, not green ones, like System_overload gives you antipoints, will their positives count as negatives or anything weird like that? Just wondering.

Nope, they'll just show up as grey antipoints: no value (other than the comment)...

Hello System Overload!

Good day to you! It's nice to see someone who's honest to oneself and have enough courage to admit his shortcomings or flaw. Have a nice day! :)

Good luck, but dont let negative antipoints stop you from posting your opinion on the board...... you have to remember that some people abuse the AntiPoint system......

:)

Thanks for the red dot answer Neg.

Thanks Neg for the answer bud...i'd give ya anti's, but I have too recently, so I can't. ;)

Hey there S_O....okay, I read thru some of your posts last night, and I think the problem may be the fact that when they say "General Chit Chat" you may be taking it to general...now I don't have a problem with it....but I'm afraid some of the members with A LOT more anti-points that I do might have a problem with it. However I also thought that some of your posts were insightful, witty, and amusing. So I've got no prob with you, and having talked to you in IRC....You seem to actually be quite a nice person...so here's my advice...come visit us in IRC when you want to chit chat...you'll be more than welcome. And maybe stick to posting about security stuff, because you do seem to have a good grasp of a lot of info! :D

Good Luck to you in turning over a new leaf, and if you are sincere....I think you'll be back into the land of the green before too long at all!

Deb

S_O-
You've never bothered me that I can recall.
Anywho, good luck in your new ways and you have my support.

This is refreshing. Nice words Overlord. It's nice to see one say they are going to try to overcome a wrong or a right and admit it. Most people that get red antipoints go off on some usless cussing rant or flame everyone to hel&(*&* and back. Kudo's to you sir. Well done......

I just went to the antipoint center for the first time. Your right my points dont count. :( If you got a gray dot from me im sorry. I will make it up you when my points start to count for something....

hmm...blunt...new leaf....
