Re: TOS rules

Hello forum readers,

The rules committee did not respond to my request for rules clarification. I don’t think this is a great surprise. They refused to clarify some simple questions about the rules, responding instead with one-liners. They are very frugal and it should be clear why. The users of this forum only have the right to know the rules that the rules committee allows them to know. But they do not have the right to know all the rules because the refusal to answer simple questions about the rules indicates that there are some rules that are hidden. Hidden things are interesting, aren’t they? Why is the rules committee hiding behind a wall of silence? What are they hiding? What are they afraid of? Don’t tell me, let me guess, the name of the game is making it look like the game is played according to the rules when it really isn’t. The name of the game is CONTROL.

Anyway, keep those zapper questions coming. As long as they’re about troublesome health problems and foot pads and handholds and parasites and other everyday zapper things, no problemo. You’re in the clear. But if you like to look at really interesting things, uh oh, you’re in trouble, you’re “arguing and debating”. What’s the forum’s rules committee gonna do about these interesting things? Absolutely nothing. Things like the use of the forum for commercial purposes which is supposed to be against the forum’s rules but really isn’t, exemplified by

1. The “news announcement” of the New Pathways article by ParaZapper (an article which is a hoax, as was the “news announcement”, and which I talk about in earlier postings at length).

2. The “news announcement” of #1 in zappers sales by the #1 in zapper sales, ParaZapper.

3. The stated intention by ParaZapper on this forum to “plug” his zapper here.

4. The use of the ParaZapper name, the name of a commercial website selling a product by the same name, for signing off postings instead of a non-zapper name. "Mentioning of personal websites is not allowed", I was told in an earlier posting. Really?

Signing off with the name ParaZapper is a clearly a commercial “plug”, it is advertising and promotion that is openly accepted on the forum, but advertising and promotion are supposed to be against the rules. They clearly aren’t.

What’s the rules committee gonna do about all this? Absolutely nothing. When you come on the forum you don’t talk about these things, that’s one of the hidden rules, and you don’t ask questions about these things. Then you’re in the clear. But if you do talk about them and ask questions, aaaooooowww, you just stepped on somebody’s toes, boy. Now, that’s against the rules!

This sure is a great forum, eh?

Sincerely,
The Ultimate Zapper
