Birthdays

Birthdays

I generally don't wish people happy birthdays here. It's not that I don't acknowledge them because some of those people whose birthdays occur I do really like. Harley and Andrew happy belated birthday.

But, you know, if you're not in the clique then the chances of having that special day acknowledged is slim to none.

My excuse for not participating is that when 'they' out your birth date that they are violating their own TOS by divulging personal information. But the truth of the matter is just that I've been around for some years now and never had my birth date acknowledged.:'(

To me, this is an example of the mods playing favorites, even though they say they don't. :troll:

As for a TOS violation, gmc2: None exists. Members post their birthdays in various places: Birthday threads from years past, on other skinning sites, on MSN, facebook, Google+, etc.

I have no access to any account but my own. I've written that in various places: pm's, Forums, irc, etc. to members asking for my help in fixing problems they were having.

No matter what, I still lurve yer retired ass. ;)

No birthday thread for me. I want a 'Fuck You, PoSmedley' thread. Any one who is nice in it is gonna get unfreinded from any social site I have them on and a nasty response in the thread.

You got it.

Quoting PoSmedley, reply 17
Cause you all suck.

And you promised, PROMISED you wouldn't tell.  #:(  

No frakkin way I'm gonna pass on a "Frak You Smedley" thread. No frakkin' way! Ev-ar,

 

*edit:

This was being typed when I.D. and Hankers (and that turkey skinhit - ;) ) posted.

I'm probably at or near the top of Happy Birthday posters the last few years. Most of them are for people I "know"; some for others I respect for reasons such as contributions to skinning, forums, or just plain longevity. In your case, if I knew when your birthday was, I'd post one due to your skinning contibutions and the fact that you've been around a long time; the trouble is, I don't know when your birthday is, and that goes for a lot of other people who I'd like to send birthday wishes to. In any case, Happy Birthday.

jafo said it best when he said the mods have access to information we don't have.

Dave...I didn't say that....certainly not here in this thread...;)

I'm an Admin on this site [and functionally the same on all of Stardock's sites] and even I don't have access to DOBs, etc.

US Banking [credit card] laws prohibit my access to SD's account info as I am not a US resident... so the only info accessible is User name, Nick, and email - the stuff needed to 'handle' people on the site/s.

IF someone posts their personal details on their page/s....like DOB or age, etc. then it's visible to all.

Other than that...confidential info remains exactly that.

Not funny. A picture of Traci Lords...THAT would have been funny. Or even Steven Seagal, Shia LaBeouf, John Travolta, The Real Housewaives (of any city) or an article on NASA canceling the shuttle program.

So..you suck.

jafo, I don't know what the hell I thought I read before. All calmed down and am sorry for posting incorrect information. Actually Hankers states it correctly. No excuses but I sometimes have a pronlem I never had before the last couple years saying some things incorrect but meaning something totally different. That's something I know is wrong with me and the reason I don't say to much. Despite  what anyone thinks I would do amost anything to help someone else.

 

Being very careful with the word almost. I didn't have it in the sentence but read it and thought I better add it.

Flamebait is all this post is good for.

Well, at least ID caught the little Bircher at the end of the post to realize there was a certain amount of trolling going on.

Quoting PoSmedley, reply 17
Talk about just sucking the fun and joy out of something so simple that it doesn't require or even need to analyzed or misconstrued.

I could have made these comments on Harley's or Andrew's birthday threads but decided not too because that would have been disrespectful to the intent of the threads and again, happy belated birthday Harley and Andrew.

Quoting DrJBHL, reply 9
My birthday threads are done as a member, not a Mod, and there's no badge on them.

Doc, you are the one that posts the majority of birthday greetings. You are a mod and you are posting those as a mod, I assumed (incorrectly it appears) that those posts were "official" posts. Now, at least, I guess, that that may not be the case, but....

Quoting WOM, reply 4
Why all the crying, its not life or death. You need to get a life that includes 1 important thing so you will be busy.

If anyone really thinks I give a rat's ass about celebrating my birth date with you losers then think again. I would, of course, take umbrage if someone was using personal data to mention birth dates and overlooking those members that have been around for some time for whatever reason.

I am relieved to know that our personal data is not being accessed to boost one's karma and that I have the choice of sharing mine or not.

He was doing that LONG before he became a mod. Hence the title "Most Suckiest"

In that case...Have a Happy Fucking Birthday! I hope each one exceeds the last in greetings and gifts from friends and family. May it become a national -NO WORLD holiday in which we can all take to the streets in t-shirts that bare your likeness, waving flags with your name emblazoned across them as we carry you on a throne of solid gold down the main streets of the Vatican so even the Pope can salute you while weeping at his having to bow to your awesomeness.  Spiked Kool-Aid for everybody!

Incorrect.

I only post as a Moderator in "Personal Computing".

If and only if the situation of TOS violation occurs, I reply as a Moderator. You won't be in doubt of my role when and if that happens.


Get this straight:

The Birthday posts for friends are posted in "General" or "Community" (no referral) and are posted as a regular member.

No. You started to apologize, but did not.

Then you added the "but" which negates you taking ownership of your misperceptions and misstatements.

You are not off the hook for the apology you owe me, gmc2. It should include the "cliques", "prying into user accounts", and "playing favorites" along with the intellectual dishonesty which those accusations imply.

You also owe the management (Admins) of WC and SD an apology. 

After you do that, I will extend once again my hand in friendship to a fellow community member.

Okay, the "loser" part was a little bit harsh and it was in response to some of the harsher posts and certainly not directed to everyone.  If I had to say it over again I would say, "No, you're wrong, I really don't care if you acknowledge my birth date or not but I wouldn't appreciate you using your position to access birth dates without acknowledging them all". But now that we have been told that you don't have access it seems kind of lame.

I'm not crying about it and to think that I am, well, you just don't know me, do you.

Doc, I will apologize for thinking that you were using your position as mod to access personal information but your mod avatar had me thinking otherwise.

I will also state that as far as being fair WC goes to great lengths to do so. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is it would be impossible for me to vouch for all decisions you make.

p.s. I don't have flash enabled, I almost wonder what those videos are about.

I only have one question. If everyone here is a loser...why are you here? And no offense gmc2...you say you don't care or your not crying about this birthday thing but this whole post screams that you do. I've been here about 8 or 9 years and have never had a birthday thread...and I don't care...and that's the only thing I'll ever say about it. I suggest in the future that you write your post in notepad and then let them just sit while you think about what your writing because once you write it and post it you can't take it back.
