Hello dennis,

Thanks for joining here.

You know I went in to a hive forum I was totally lost I didnt even know who was who.It would be nice to see everyones name associated with the hive team, it might even get more sign ups if we knew which friends of ours were in it.

it totally lost me.

hope your doing great. and I am sure Jim meant no harm.

Sometimes how we read and interpret things are not how they really are.

hello everyone...I see lots of finger pointing and foot shifting back and forth..dancing around the issue...the issue is that someone was disquified for POTW due do not having a 350 posts which appears to be the golden rule here...I must say that there have been others that are POTW that do not have the required number of posts...so now we have something called "Selective Enforcement"...for some reason...the rule is being enforce now..even if it was started in the beginning..for whatever reason not changed or improved on and for now...so all members are not being treated the same...

I for one appreciate all the hard work that the POTW team puts forth for the benefit of AdlandPro community. In return, I think that all nominations should be treated with equal requirements, not "selective enforcement" of the golden rule.

thank you...Larry

Hello Larry,

Its unfortunate that not every one will always like the rules of whatever is told to them.

It really doesnt matter what has happened in the past. It doesnt matter what has happened now.The rules and the way things work now is in place.

So instead of people trying to create havoc, please foe those who are unhappy just let it be.

Do not ruin what John and I started.. If you are unhappy with the way it is run step away.Do not cause discourse here at adlandpro, hasnt there been enough horror stories here to last a life time?

We must follow what is now in place no matter how unfair others think it is.

If your not happy just do not participate in it.Maybe you should start your own amongst the ones who think it is unfair.

Do not turn adlandpro into a pissing match.

What you say goes out to google and it can hurt you in the long run. Not to mention show others how your characters are.

Have a very blessed Day.

Hello Friends,

The above post was posted in the hive forum before I was aware of the confrontation here in the POTW nomination forum. I won't relate to each and every comment cos that will create more of an issue but I will comment in a general way except to a few remarks.

Dennis, My post wasn't meant to be rude and even though the Hive member account is a legal adland account it is only proper etiquette for a Name to be behind a nomination and not a legal entity (one does need a magnifying glass to see the picture though). But, if you were insulted I do apologize but do not regret that Thomas made the nomination in the end.

There is no "selective enforcement" in the POTW. Had you followed the forum you'd have seen that other nominations haven't been accepted for the same criteria. Some have been deleted at the request of the nominator and some are still in the forum.

I find it a bit strange that you are using Anthony Hosking as your example of selectiveness. Anthony was nominated by a Hive member, seconded by a Hive member and supported in the poll by hive members. The fact that he was a hive member and manager then and has since resigned his hive membership I find very interesting in all your comments on this subject. I wonder if you would be using him as an example if he was still a hive member? I covered Anthony in my previous post and do apologize for my error but as I said can you imagine the furor it would have created if his nomination wasn't accepted then??? Look what you're doing now cos of Lee?

Thomas, you know me/us better then most of the other posters here and if your comment "The only exception i see to the rule is by the forum owner!" relates to me/The POTW Team I haven't got the faintest idea what you are talking about nor understand your insinuation. Please explain!!!

Since we took over the POTW forum we tried to respect all the members in an equal manner even when we knew there were rampant manipulations going on with multiple accounts. I don't believe there is one POTW winner since we took over that didn't get the respect due them when they won and that includes you Becky.

To sum up. The qualifications and criteria are there for the good of all the deserving nominees and future nominees/candidates. There is absolutely no selectiveness but mistakes can be made and for that once again I do apologize,

Shalom,

Peter
