The DP is pathetic

[pepperidge]

100% agreed. Links for the purpose of member recruitment should be removed.

Ummm... didn't Pat just say that?

Ummm... didn't Pat just say that?

hence why I agreed with him and gasuout. Just because you want to be a spammer doesnt mean others want to see/read it....

Can I borrow this?? I like it.............

Absolutely!

FU tom...I never sent you or anyone else that didn't ask me for it...

and I never spammed the board either...and don't plan on it.

I guess that's why you feel no one respects you because you make ignorant statements that your sorry ass can't back up...

Pat made the statement and that should have been the final word on it...but in you come in to beat it to death...like no one knows how you already feel...why don't you just go back over there and be the rat that you are...

Pep this is not entirely true, while you may not have spammed the dp.com other admins on your board(tdr.com) did. They went into the email list for the members and copied it, then sent out mass emails. I know this is true, you know it is true and anyone else that was carried over as a mod from the dp.com knows it is true. Also, you were given access to the mod forum over at dp.com by a "unknown" lead mod and did not lose that access until someone higher up found out.

So, the point is while I agree with many things you say please do not act like you are completely innocent from spamming wether it is something you did directly or you were indirectly benefiting(guilty by association) from while another admin, lead mod or even regular mods did to benefit the site you run.

Surely you are not painting everyone with the same brush, Josh. I never sent out any mass email of any kind, nor did Nick endorse or advocate that. I did have a link to DTR in my sig line for two days this week until I was asked to remove it due to a change in the policy (with which I complied).

No not at all, I am talking about the very first days of dtr.com not recently.

The point is, DTR which PEP belongs too did SPAM the dp.com via email addresses that were obtained by ways that are less than moral if you will. Someone went into the email database, copied the email addys and then used them for personal gain. The person or persons who did this were trusted staff members of dp.com at the time. There is no way around that, and you know that bud...however if you notice I am not naming names.

I am not taking sides either, I am stating FACTS not assumptions. I was there, I saw it happen and I read about who was doing it while I had access to the mod forum on DTR.com

 

[Gasuout]

Pepp I dont think 2 posts reinforcing what Pat said was beating it to death .

In the last many days guys have really been abusing the link unlock badly to spam in thier sigs or in threads .

To what Josh said : I never recieved 1 email or PM on the sites links .

Maybe they just forgot about me . I feel left out . :rofl:

 

[Josh2002cc]

Surely you are not painting everyone with the same brush, Josh. I am not I never sent out any mass email of any kind Never said you did, nor did Nick endorse or advocate that That is a blatent lie, for saying that I will say you are being less than truthful. I did have a link to DTR in my sig line for two days this week until I was asked to remove it due to a change in the policy (with which I complied). What I am talking about has nothing to do with what happened in the past 6 months

See above for my direct response.

I understand that Jon, you are 1 out of 75,000 at the time. I stand by what I said.

BTW Jon, I would never forget you buddy!

 

[pepperidge]

First off...the response by Tom was aimed at me...so bringing all this other crap up that has nothing to do with me is just pure BS...and I have no knowledge of who or what you are talking about...so what agenda are you carrying that you decided to bring up something totally unrelated to me...I didn't spam anyone...and I stand by that statement...I don't believe in guilt by association...that's an asinine assumption on your part

and I never spammed the board either...and don't plan on it.

They went into the email list for the members and copied it, then sent out mass emails.

[Josh2002cc]

Are you denying the fact that other trusted lead mods from the dieselplace did not allow you in the back room over at the dieselplace? You are quilty, and not just by association.

 

[Poltergeist]

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. I'm not going to lock this thread but if this escalates into more blatant personal attacks they will be deleted or edited.

We allow a lot of things here but personal attacks are not 1 of them.

 

[McRat]

Yup, no personal insults are allowed here directed at other members. You can discuss issues without personal insults. Not that I would how.

Many boards were started by spamming other boards, so it's not like it's uncommon. Some of the bigger boards started that way. I remember getting a PM on TheDieselPage that pointed me to TheDieselPlace. Is it a unethical? I don't know, I just don't believe in it.

We just chose not to do it that way.

What you posted has absolutely nothing to do with spamming....and my response to Tom...So I ask again...What is your agenda in bringing something up totally unrelated to Toms post and my reply...you obviously have an axe to grind...and I believe the person you have an axe to grind with is no longer at our site...

Your full of crap Rat man D) did they even have PM's going there that I recall when the big split happened.

Any and all spamming there resulted in a banning. :rofl:

Anyway I haven't spammed anyone off the Place . I know PM's were being scanned also so I've only E-mailed if individuals have requested.

But Josh if someone did something like you mentioned please don't or group us all. This is the first I heard of it and if I had access I would have done the same thing. :rofl:

Who cares it's all fun and games. If the Place doesn't want people to link with in reason back and forth than so be it. Either abide by the rules or suffer the consequences. IMO although I would return the favor no linky here no linky there.

Hang on there, hoss. You obviously don't know me. I most certainly do not lie.

If there were issues as you describe going on, you need to take that beef up with whomever you are accusing.

Somebody I didn't know contacted me one way or the other at TDPage to provide me a link to TDPlace. Email, PM, or in a thread. I do remember the link was split up, like www. the diesel place .com or similiar. No idea who the guy was. I'm remember it being a PM, but maybe my memory is stale. I guess that when the split actually happened, I was still actively deciding between the Duramax and Ford 6.0 and was on both TheDieselStop (Ford) and TheDieselPage (GM). I didn't own a Dmax until Feb 2004.
