If they are going to dump advertising all over the forum the least they could do is write in a way that makes sense....
What the heck is this suppose to mean?

Yeah, well, I was going to give him/them a break seeing as they are from China and I know I would make just as little sense trying to post in Chinese, but then I saw that there was a picture of a copyrighted image/character and that there were ads posted in forums where they had no business being (the Free PES forum, for instance), and so I deleted almost everything. I allowed two (I think) to stay, but that left seven to get rid of. Thanks for drawing it to my attention, Silver. I appreciate your vigilance.

I sure appreciate your attention to such things. I rarely see people get away with that kind of thing in here unlike in some groups....

My fuss was not really over their grammar as much as their arrogance...

Yeah, I saw the Snoopy too... I have seen quite a few Russian and Chinese digitizing sites offer such copyrighted designs for sale before. I guess they figure they are too far away to prosecute. I am sure the same sorts of people feel no remorse in stealing 'free' designs from sites to re-sell either.

Sorry to make a fuss... This just hit a nerve with me. Most of the regular people in here feel like 'family' and I tend to be protective of the people I care about. I really wanted to get their attention so they knew how unappreciated such tactics were...

I agree, Silver, I don't mind looking at ads from reputable designers, and I don't really care if their English is bad when they're from another country, but when they have 'pirated' designs it frosts my cookies too. Maybe they think they can get away with stealing copyrighted designs if they're really far away, and maybe they can get away with it, but I am certainly not buying them! Evil or Very Mad

And blasting their ads into every forum possible is not a good way to get my attention, either. Shame on them.

Thank you, Cutiepie, for taking care of this problem. The vigilance of the people like Silver, you, and Shawn and any other moderators keeps this a nice place to come. You are all much appreciated, and I don't think I say so often enough. A big THANKS to all of you! Very Happy
