  May browsers have pdf add-ons that you can download as well, such as google chrome, which allow you to read the pdf file in your browser without downloading it.  Its the 21st century, we have the technology :)

  Is this against the rules??

  Spamming, or derailing the topic of a thread is against the guidelines. If you continue this effort, you will be subject to moderation.

  You are poking the bear, chrisironbones. Please, just be reasonable and stop trying to see what you can get away with. Of course you are allowed to post in whatever language you would like, as long as it does not detract from the topic of the thread, or violates any of the other guidelines.

  The bottom line is - there are guidelines to these forums. If a moderator deems you are breaking these guidelines, you will be subject to moderation. There is no voting process, there is no jury. Discipline lies solely on the judgement of the moderators, which is something you agree to when you accept the Terms and Conditions.

  I must be stern when discussing these guidelines, as there is no room for confusion. I have made myself perfectly clear here, I think.

   

  Stay classy,

  Diolch (thanks) 

  I'll shut up about it now but you must realise it was only a bit of fun, I see plenty of posts all over the forums which has nothing to do with OP or whatever,   pointless posts just like mine, wasn't trying to "poke a bear" or se what i could get away with becsue i didn't think it was all that bad,just a bit of characters out of the character map, I appologise if it pi55ed you or any one else off,  it just puzzled me why something so "naive" and meant nothing got deleted.  I wont post anything pointless again just on topic. 

  Dwi'n ymddeheirio os o ni wedi postio rhywbeth nath ypsetio ti, o ni'm yn meddwl fuasai yn gwneud.  Nai ddim ysgrifennu rhywbeth mor ddi-bwynt o hyn ymlaen.  Dim ond ar y pwnc o golf neu helpu pobl o hyn ymlaen.  Diolch Pizza..

  Damn, PIZZA, I hadn't read the new guidlines at posting either, so thats why my post got what it deserved, Now i do realise why it got deleted, VERY SORRY!!  I understand where you are coming from now, i over reacted without getting the new guidlines under my belt.  Time to stay CLASSY..Aros yn clasurol  (translated\)

  I do believe that the zero tolerance for the other issues is implied.

  I'm confident zero tolerance does imply to all posting guidelines, I just thought it was fortuitous having a zero tolerance applied to some posting guidelines, and not being applied to all the posting guidelines as pages 1-2 does not show zero tolerance on posting guidelines. That's all.

  I appreciate your change of heart, and I understand your position, but you must understand mine: There is no room for "fun" when discussing the posting guidelines.

  Thank you very much for taking a rational stance on this situation. Mistakes can be made, and as long as they are reasonable, you will be forgiven :)

  I apologize for the harsh tones, everyone. I really want to drive home the fact that THIS subject is off-limits to sarcasm/jokes, etc. The guidelines are something that needs to be as clear to the community as possible, and the consequences of violating them need to be known and enforced.

  Thanks again, and see you around CIB  :)

  READ THE 1st PAGE OF GUIDE LINES,  THEY DO HAVE POLITICS AGAINST ALL YOU STATED ABOVE.  THE 1st  GUIDE LINE SHOULD BE  READ THE GUIDE LINES BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING.  JUST SAYING

  That was on succeeding pages under the topics he put in bold. My guess is he actually read everything, especially under Inappropriate Language  where it mentions typing in all caps. 

   

  LOL, was just about to write the same reply, good thing I checked first.

  chrisironsbones:

  Is this against the rules??  English is my 2nd language, my proper language is above, i see plenty of posts in Italian, so is my language not allowed??  

   

  Hm, pravkar sem začel razmišljati, kako bi bilo, če bi moral začeti razlagati svoje misli in težave v slovenščini. Bi mi sploh lahko kdo priskočil na pomoč? Najbrž ne.

  Nova navodila so mi zelo všeč, kratka in jasna.

  (Hm, was just thinking what it would be like if I started explaining my thoughts and issues in Slovenian. Would I be able to get any help? Probably not.

  I like the new guidelines, they're short and clear.)
