Why this forum rules...

**DetailKitty** · 10-01-2013, 03:55 PM

Ok, aside from the obvious, that it's a wealth of information and Mike chimes in when needed with awesome advice, pics, videos, etc, it is also a fairly friendly and ease-to-use site.

I currently belong to about 10 different forums... all for different reasons/interests.

Why am I suddenly posting this?
Because I recently joined a forum for some new dogs I just adopted. I wanted to get info from the forum and learn as much as possible... that's the point of forums, right?

THIS forum is ridiculous!
You have to have Admin approval to do anything!
I've had a signature taken down twice already because it was too big! Um, it's not even on their server! It's linked to somewhere else! You have to be a member for a certain time period before you can pm anyone, you have to "submit" a picture request for your avatar.... the list goes on.

If I didn't want the info on this forum so bad I'd tell them to shove it.

Sorry for the rant gang... I understand there needs to be guidelines, etc with running a forum, but this is just stupid.

I've never needed admin approval for anything?? Can you be more specific?

My naked pictures never go through!!

All Jokes aside, this forum is pretty relaxed

I believe the OP is referring to another forum that they are apart of and is "unhappy" about the way they handle their forum.

Are you speaking about the dog forum?

**LSpec** · 10-01-2013, 04:27 PM

why no big pictures, because is faster with small ones, why approval, maybe they had problems in the past with liberty ...

We dont know but I know other forum for a specific interest, but looks like variety forum, you can post what ever you want, thats anoying

Yes, I meant the dog forum.... NOT this one. Sorry that wasn't clear.

I completely understand forum rules and not loading up the server with gigantic pics... but you can't post anything bigger than 15 kb! REALLY?

And it doesn't matter if I'm linking from another hosting site (like Photobucket). If the original file is bigger than 15 kb they will take it down.

Just freaking annoying!
