george 53 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 OK, this IS old sh*t but it seems to keep comin up. WHY are you guys STEADFASTEDLY REFUSEING to PUT YOUR REAL NAMES in your sigs? Are you a Super Secret Super agent, and CAN'T have your I.D's exposed? Or you JUST DON'T read the RULES before you join? Or you jus gotta problem of SOME kind? Harry, If I mess up a PM or somethin on here, it goes to a pink? message that tells me my message cannot be sent or something of that nature. If guys DON'T complete the enrollment app, can't it do the same for them? Like if they DON'T put there name in their sig, can't it tell them they have NOT filled their app out properly, and WON'T let them join? You'd think something as SIMPLE as telling us your name wouldn't be ALL THAT hard, but, NNOOOOO they're's allways those types that think the rules are for someone ELSE and NOT applicable to THEM, likes they's better or somethin. Can't those who DON'T fill out the enrollment app propeperly just be refused entry? Why have rules for EVERYBODY, if it doesn't apply to EVERYBODY!!!????? Jus sayin...........
LDO Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Why is this everybody's pet issue? You are not a moderator. Your stock doesn't decrease in value because of this. Don't worry about it. I hate non-descriptive thread titles...like this one. You don't see a weekly rant from me. Get over it!
FORDSVTPARTS Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Do I have my name in my sig? Let's see because I don't remember. Edit- I guess not. Edit-Hey look, now it's there. Edited December 14, 2009 by FORDSVTPARTS
george 53 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 Well this ACTUALLY applies to people LIKE YOU!!! You gotta problem with tellin people your name, or did your folks REALLY name you Zipper? Brings alot things to mind,ya know?I don't really give a care what you think of me, so you can(put expletetive here) for all I care, But YOU don't show any respect for Gregg OR Harry by NOT following the rules THEY set down! Well actually, GREGG, and In case you forgot, it IS his website. You probably come to a rolling stop at stop signs too dontcha? cause SIMPLE rules DON'T apply to folks like you, do they? And if YOUR payin cash, then your simply a fool, cas this site is FREE. Don'tcha just hate it when someone SHOWS ya you ain't playin by the rules? Unfortunately The truth IS the truth. Deal with it!
george 53 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 See? Steve did it. Did HE start anything by being rude? NO, he just went back and read HOW TO DO IT, an did it! It's REALLY quite THAT EASY. If someone doesn't like what I say, just put me on your ignore list, I PROMISE I WON'T care!
crazyjim Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I'm with 100% George. Put your name on the post. What's the big deal? There are options - 1 Play by the rules. 2 Don't play here. 3 Change the rules.
von Zipper Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I don't mind following the rules-just get sick of the self appointed watch dogs, Gregg does sell a paper magazine....around $6.00 U.S PS: The poop is a model, made with saw dust and plaster...pretty life like huh ? CECIL
george 53 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 Cecil, THANK YOU! If I sound like a self appointed anything, it's only because I DO care about this forum, and I WANT to see, and be able to talk freely, with people I truely consdider to be my freinds. I KNOW I may not be the best person on the planet, but I TRY to be a decent and good person. I try to treat people as I would like to be treated. Sorry I got so defensive, I appologise, but see, it wasn't hard was it? Now if all the other guys who don't do as the rules ask could/would follow YOUR lead, we wouldn't EVER need to bring this up again. This po' ol hoss dun been beat up enuff!
Harry P. Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 George is right, putting your real name in your signature is a rule here. No, he's not the "forum police," he's just pointing out the fact that we asked you to do that as part of the "rules and regulations" that you agreed to when you signed up here. I don't understand why some of you guys are fighting this so hard... it's not like we're asking for the keys to your house or something! All we ask is that you post your real name. Is that such an unreasonable request? Can anyone who still refuses to put their real name in their signature give me a logical explanation for why they won't do it? And thanks to those of you who just recently did add your name to your sig.
PatRedmond Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Delete the accounts if they don't put their names in.
jeffb Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 fecalgram? guess to bizness went to sh..... well, you get the idea. kidding aside, george is correct. part of this forum is NO hiding.you can run..but ya cant hide...

JamesW Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Harry? Gregg? Even George? I'm not disobeying by only putting my first name am I?
Harry P. Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Harry? Gregg? Even George? I'm not disobeying by only putting my first name am I? I guess your first name only is better than nothing... but we really mean your whole name.

JamesW Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I guess your first name only is better than nothing... but we really mean your whole name. Fixed.
Guest Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I have mine in my sig, but I have to say this. One good reason not too is identity theft. Let me tell you, i emailed a ad on craigslist, and there is no info in my yahoo email as to where I live, or anyhitng, not my full name or anyhting, and this person, using my name as it appears in my email, got my FULL Legal name, where I live, where I have lived since high school, and more. You can get alot of info out of a name, even if it isnt your full legal one, so there is a reason NOT to put it in here. Having said that, I know most members here wouldnt pull that, but there are lurkers and goofballs out there. Just something to think about.

Your real name is on record with the government and Social Security, the IRS, your voter's registration, your landlord or the bank that holds your mortgage, your credit cards, your employer, your doctor, even the video store... everywhere! Every time you buy something at any store with a credit card, your real name goes on record. Every time! If someone wants your real name, there are a million places where it can be found with absolutely no problem. Nobody is going to "steal" your identity because they saw your real name here! It's already all over the place anyway!
Aaronw Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 If you are really concerned with spam or internet stalkers, just add some spaces to throw off the search bots like so J oh n Do e. That should fix their wagon.
Jordan White Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I would think that rather then making a new thread every other week about this topic, a PM could just be sent to the offender letting them know. I'm sure most will gladly comply, and if there's a reason they don't want to, they can simply discuss it in private.

I'm sure most will gladly comply, and if there's a reason they don't want to, they can simply discuss it in private. The thread starters that create these sort of topics have no power to enforce any of the rules, so it's sort of silly to go around policing people when you don't have a freakin gun and badge...It's like some of these guys get bored or something and feel the need to toss a few stones at the hornet's nest to watch an angry swarm buzz around for a while. But yeah, you would think that the "sig offenders" could be handled by private messages instead of creating weekly b*tch sessions that go nowhere, fast. Edited December 14, 2009 by J. Sauber
Harry P. Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 A little reminder once in awhile doesn't hurt. So consider this to have been a little reminder!
