A Nice How do you Do! What do You Think?!

A Nice How do you Do!

====================

You Were Banned From A Forum
Hi Jim Allen III,
This message was sent to inform you that the  POTW Awards the forum owner of Foto Fun! Photography With A Twist! Also Home Of The Other POTW contest...! has removed you from the members list for the following reason:

Harrassment. ??? 

(Is that spelled right?  Shouldn't it be Harassment?)

http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/949634/88/ShowThread.aspx

=====================

I received the above this morning.  I don't believe I harassed anyone and feel this is an unwarranted action by the New POTW Admin Partners.  Petty and and shows their small mindedness.

Apparently stating facts and truth is grounds for banishment. 

What do You Think?  Don't be afraid to reply, I don't ban opinions, discussions or conversations.  Though some do!

Jim

Oh Yeah!

Sunny Greetings from California, Jim!

First, as a former participant of
the Photo of the Week Contest forum I want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule and going through the hassle to find out whether or not the Photo of the Week Contest forum is still open. You found the answer for many of us in a respectful and straight forward manner. You wrote:

Hello Kathleen,

I guess my point is here you have folks nominating their pictures for the Photo of the Week Contest and you have ignored them till now, instead of posting a notice or some sort of communication.   The agreement you stated absolves you of any slight here at all, to these good folks that have visited and posted their photos.

The prize for the contest was exposure of your photographs and your profile to the community, with a congratulatory forum similar to the PersonOTW, at one time there was a monetary award, but was withdrawn by the admin too.

My past transgressions as far as communicating as a POTW Awards Team member, are just that in the past.  We are talking present day now and the answer is now known.

As for the vote count 31 to 36 sounds like a good participation rate compared to the New POTW.  Plus there is a variety of photos to choose from.  Seems like those real eyes would be attractive to the PersonOTW contest too.  Neither here nor there now that you have answered the question for us.

In Summary:

The new POTW Admin did not take on all the duties of the POTW, no matter the reason.  The Photo of the Week Contest and the use of the polling system have been discontinued up to this point in time.

Thanks for clearing things up, have a great hump day.

Jim


Second, I have been wondering for several weeks why there was not an official statement from either the AdLand administration or the current POTW team to tell all AdLanders that the
Photo of the Week Contest forum is no longer active and advise people not to waste their time to post their photos there.

Third, I also wonder how an individual who has claimed that she has nothing to do with the
Photo of the Week Contest forum is able to ban you from that forum. Also, I wonder why she would ban you just because you wanted a straight answer.

Oh well, enough said.

Until next time--

Have an Awesome Day!

Hello JoAnne,

Thanks for your reply.  As someone that has followed the Photo of the Week forum for pleasure and participation as well as part of the POTW Awards TEAM, I get updates from the thread.  As I do many of the forums here at ALP and especially the ones associated with the POTW.

Not only have I noticed that nominators in the Photo of the Week were still nominating and asking for assistance, guidance and acknowledgement.  They Went completely unanswered by the current POTW ADMIN (neat title).  I have also noticed quite a bit of, dare I say spam?  Happening in the many forums and threads under the CONTROL of the POTW ADMIN. 

This until present time has been policed quite well.  There are many parts and responsibilities that past POTW Awards Teams have handled without any bones about it.

Moving forward while the rest of the community backs up to the good ol'days when there were only a few thousand folks here.  Instead of engaging the 93,000 plus members today.

Happy Thursday,

Jim

LOL Jim!

I saw before in Photo fun forum:

Re: Nominations forum for the Photo of the Week Contest
Posted: 05-03-2009 05:33 PM

Actually, I DID take on the duties of the POTW as were offered to me by Bogdan, not by you or anyone else.  The photo contest was not part of that offer.  I was originally considered for POTW (Person of the Week) partner in February 2007, before the photo contest was created by the person who did get the partnership then, Pauline Raina. So if I had been named partner 2 years ago, there may not have even been a photo contest created.

Your team quit, also the original person who created the Photo Contest was no longer interested in running it. 

If you quit a job, you don't get the option to go back and tell the new employee how to do that job.  You've been trying to tell me how to do my job, now you're being escorted out of the building.

This photo contest was discontinued in January by Bogdan, before I became part of the Awards Team.  It has nothing to do with me, it never did.

As for votership, your 3 person team and 5 entrants per week could have brought in more than 35 votes, considering all of you added up to 8 votes, so then there were only 27 more votes on a dot-clicking ballot, and not all of them posted, so that's debatable if there really were that many verifiable voters.

I'm GLAD to have the number of people in the write-in POTW, most of them are brought in by ME, it doesn't take 3 people or 8 people to bring in a group who makes an EFFORT to write-in nominations, all of them post, we know who they all are, all valid members.

Now you're banned.


Thanks, Kathleen VanBeekom and Thomas Richmond

I asked there:

To whom these angry accusations above concern?

Free of charge circus is continuing!

Before it was not-understanding between peoples from different countries with different national and religious mentality and I tried to explain to AnaMaria, what is difference between Catholics and Orthodox mentality. And I asked her to forgive.

But  now - it is conflict between Americans people, and I don't know, how to comment!

I had the wish to ban POTW Admin from my forum, but I hope, maybe Roger will find the consensus, he is professional psychologist.

Let's see!

Greetings, Lydia

I banned Jim from the photo contest forum because I could.  He makes controversial posts because he can.  He could have chosen to communicate politely in forums but his tone is a lot less than polite, and most people know that.

For all the time you two take to make big controversial posts, why haven't either of you taken the time to make nominations for the past 6 weeks?  http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/1208649.aspx

Every time one of your friends loses because of a tie-breaker or loses by one vote or 2 votes, they can thank you for it.

Jim, you WERE one of the leaders of this community for over a year.

JoAnne, you know I was seriously considering you as POTW partner at the end of January.

You two make choices that cause you to lose popularity, and you don't help any of your friends to gain anything either.

Since when do quitters get to tell the new person how to do the job they just left?  They don't.
