What if this one has nothing to do with coaching?

lol.

So... is it okay to put coaching back into my location or not? I don't want to do it then somehow get magically ban-hammered again for something that wasn't clear.

Edit: I've changed my location to something I might use as an example. Is this okay?

Sorry, Met. I have had to ban you.

Please read my edit above. Feel free to comment when you get back in three days.

Ok, so coaching isn't allowed. That's fine just want to that be made clear then. It'd be helpful if mods would PM you and let you know when they edit your profile like that though. It took me a while to even realize it had been changed and I thought for a second I was crazy until realizing someone must have done it.

If I'm not allowed to do it though, I'm definitely not going to let others when I see it. Should I be PM'ing Mat or Ryan or someone like you, Mike? Or post them in a thread here?

FWIW, I don't think MDMA is defying rules on purpose, but probably like me he wasn't entirely clear on what the rule was. Again, why a PM when things are edited would be nice.

We will take your suggestion about PMing under advisement. Thank you.

If you PM an active mod of the forum in which you happen to see an irregular Loc text, that would probably be best, by spreading the workload around a bit. If you disagree with his decision, ask him to refer to an Admin.

This is the main problem with sending PMs about problem Loc: fields.

Another friendly and helpful colleague has told me I'm wrong yet again.

I'll get my coat.

Lol, what are you wrong about now?

I shouldn't be PM'ing the mod of the forum it is in?

[THEOSU]

i recommend "bloaching."

or "being awesome. duh."

since we have sponsored coaching forums, saying "coaching" is no longer acceptable.

if 2+2 hosted member's blogs, then blogging would also not be acceptable. since 2+2 does not offer that service, we are allowing blogging.

Thanks durron, that makes more sense than any other reason given. Are things like LeggoPoker and Cardrunners in avatars/locations still okay then?

I see how these rules can get confusing fast.
