MDawg, don't do this again

[Dan Druff]

You wrote "Wrong" and then admitted everything that I said, including my explanation in my second post (not quoted by you) about how the forum software works. This paints you in the light of not a straight shooter. At this point, I wouldn't necessarily believe anything more you have to say about this, especially given that you knew what was in the PMs and yet imply you didn't read them.

So you used the second method I outlined, poring through the database. Then you try to imply that you deleted my PMs without reading them, which of course makes no sense in that you knew what their content was and posted it publicly.

MDawg spammed a bunch of PMs to encourage people to vote for him.

This also doesn't explain why you took this action in the first place (hey...let me read through MDawg's PMs today see what he has to say).

You really can't understand that, out of 25 or so people you spammed, someone would have complained?

Because yes, I got multiple complaints people that you were spamming them.

Initially I thought you were spamming everyone on the forum, but when I looked in the database, I saw there were about 25 messages all sent around the same time, so it wasn't as bad as I thought. But still not allowed here. I don't want bulk PMs spammed here.

There is nothing wrong at all with my going into the PM database to remove spam. I will openly state right now that I will do exactly that when people spam here.

Finally, you say that you don't read PMs on this forum (even though you obviously read mine) but we'll never know if you are or are not. Great.

Exactly. You do not know for sure if I read PMs here, and you don't know for sure if any other forum owner reads PMs. My entire point was that PMs are always easily accessible via the database on any forum. If that bothers you, then you shouldn't PM on forums. This isn't specific to me or this forum.
