Dear Member,
Your post has been deleted because you did not comply with the rules. You must state your full name to post in the BOI forum. If you would like to re-post your message just add your full name and you're good to go.
Thank You

If anyone cares, I happen to like the above comment (or some derivative thereof) as a standard canned alert to the violating member
It's polite, not to brash, yet makes the point clearly and tells the member what, why and how to correct the "infraction."
Frankly, when I saw the original post, I almost posted a
to FRC Tom's positive comment. I too failed initially, to realize it was in the BOI, since it was POSITIVE, NON-ACCUSATORY, and NOT DIRECTED AT A BUSINESS.
IIRC, the BOI was designed for BOTH ATTABOY's and OH CRAPS!
Seldom did we see an ATTABOY posted there
This "infraction" was easy to make. Like I said, I almost made it myself
And yes, it was the
BOLD RED LETTERS that upset the member.

The second notice was used in such a manner as to also remind all other readers of the requirement indicated, in case it had slipped their notice as well. The notice " FULL NAMES are required to post in this forum!" was plainly visible at the top of the page of the thread while he was viewing it....  Sorry he felt he needed to take it so personal and that incident made this place no fun for him any longer.... |
IIRC didn't Lou usually post his full name when posting in the BOI?
Since I didn't post in there, I simply don't recall.
Gotta remember too, that some people don't go back to thier previous posts or threads when they visit.
And not everyone is on as much as others even though they may stay logged in.
Is it possible that he hadn't seen the infraction notice or actually been back to the BOI?
Is it possible that he though the post had been deleted and just chose not to post in there again?
I hate to see someone haul over this kind of thing.
He simply may not have seen the
