that was really wrong

[Stormymystic]

instead of coming in and yelling at us newbies, why notjust make a thread to say what kind of text is not allowed, we were just doingwhat the olderones did, and no one ever told us it was not allowed, i think it was rude and uncalled for, i read the top post, and didnot seeanything saying this was not allowed, so explain why it is not? whatdidwe do that was so wrong? and why did Cloudy nor Z say anything to us? before we really started doing it? as i said, i did cool off some before saying this but am still upset for the way we were told not to do it

Huh, what's wrong? What's this about? I'm confused...

[Stormymystic]

smeonelocked one of my topics, andsomeone else came in yelling that we are not aloud to do marquees or rolling texts, without ever explaining why

[Stormymystic]

qouted from other post
I`ve said it before, I`ll say it again: marquees are non-standard.
Put simply, do *NOT* use them. Ever. If you absolutely must have scrolly text, use an animated .gif

Not sure Stormy. I use marquees in the B-day threads all the time and no has told me otherwise. I think maybe your thread just kinda got outa control with them. Kind of a [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img] zone it turned out to be. Dont sweat it, I am sure they will let you know sooner or later. [img]smile.gif[/img]

lol... that wasn't yelling. That was just Lennoncook. He's the cranky HTML master [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The thread was probably locked because it was turning into a spam session, Stormy.

Mods don't have to justify or give warning when they lock a post. [img]smile.gif[/img] Don't worry about it.

i am really confused and think maybe i need to take a few dys or weeks off, because i thought that posters had a right to decide what was spam, and all i was doing was seeing what things we could do
which meansno more poems for awhile sorry guys i am so hurt and upseti am crying, bye for a little while til i cool off

Stormmystic in a topic you can use scrolling text and other shiny thingys=)
but when you learned how to do the text you cant just post a topic when you show everyone that and you saw how it turned out major spam...
i learned my lesson once to when i learned how to do smiles Kaltia got really MAD at me

Hate to be a ...hmm (insert word here)

But I don't think you are allowed to have threads asking/complaining about why a thread was locked. If you have a problem with a locked thread pm a moderator.

EDIT: Of course I might be wrong (for the first and only time )
EDIT (yes again): Because I have the typing skills of a monkey
EDIT no. 3:
Found it, and i quote the rules and regulations [img]smile.gif[/img]

"Also, if you see a thread/post deleted or closed, DO NOT post a new message asking where the thread/post went or why it was closed. These types of questions can be answered by emailing your webmaster"

Don't mind Lenon, you can use scrolling text if you want.
