This may be the 'real world', but that doesn't make it right. In essence, this admin/operator has instituted a policy that has adverse affects on the server community at large. What the hell gives HIM the right? IMO, that's just plain rude. Now, I may sound like Miss Manners bitching up a storm, but that's inconsiderate.
This also sounds like the workings of some 15 yr old jr. admin. Is this really the head admin/operator? If one of my admins acted like this, he'd be out on his ass in a New York minute. My server is my responsibility with my money invested and my reputation on the line. I wouldn't want some attitude junky causing trouble. Try contacting the 'real' operator. You're right Brian, we shouldn't have to deal with this. It should be common courtesy to prevent such issues. Otherwise, I'll just have to add another tag filter to AM/CM to include *.com, *.net, *.org, etc. which makes them as big a nuisance as hacker clans. > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 11:44:44 -0800 (PST) > From: "Brian A.
