Ok there is only one thing I'm self-appointed at around here... "A-hole".... The rest of this isn't really necessary for me... :lol:
Look, no offense to the OP, because I'm not sure she knew better (but perhaps she did, owing to the pre-emptive apology), but the post is clearly in violation of the rules we all agreed to abide by by clicking on the little box. It just is. I'm not the board police, but if one person does it, it just opens the door. Some push the envelope as it is. 8)
That's true, but nobody had a problem with Monaco posting until he did some crappy work. In fact, lots of folks came on here promoting him. He was in the same boat as the OP in this thread. I'm not sure if Monaco had insurance or not, but I'm guessing from the way things went down on here that he did not. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Who cares, right? Let's just move along. Nothing here to see folks. :mrgreen:
See, there is the fine line.................I don't remember (and may have missed) where HE started a thread. It's one thing to answer a query with a recommendation or offer to help...........it's another to start a thread with the express purpose of getting work. Which is why I generally send my recommendations by PM now. 8)
Why don't you just pile on? If you're going to start correcting spelling and grammar around here, I hope you have plenty of time on your hands. :?
just curious, if he was laid off, why is not collecting unemployment insurance, he is entitled to it and it could really help out financially and maybe put him in the position to be able to get a license and insurance, just a thought.
Check Rule # 6 I am not the police on here but it seems very clear if you read guidelines on posting. Appears # 6 applies here =========================== Posting Guidelines for 4042.com Discussion Board You can voice just about any opinion you want here, as long as you can do it without using all those well known "cuss words" or making vulgar statements you wouldn't make in front of your mother or kids. If that's too vague, here's some guidelines: 1. Posts made here that contain "swearing" will be deleted. (We used to edit them but that is too time consuming. They will simply be removed.) That *includes* posts that contain such words spelled out with "@" or "$", etc in strategic positions. They will be deleted. Offenders may also have their accounts removed without any additional warning. 2. Express your opinion on any topic you would like to - politics, abortion, homosexuality, war, peace, the economy...you name it! But do so with some sense of civility...any topic can be discussed without dipping into the sleaze bucket. 3. Messages posted here in the 4042.com Discussion Group that are "borderline" with our guidelines are much more likely to be left on the board when they are posted with a valid e-mail address. In fact, if you feel the need to REALLY exercise your 1st Amendmant Rights and post a message here which contains swearing and vulgar, outrageous language, please sign it with a real e-mail address, your name and phone number. After all, anyone feeling the need to do that should have no problem identifying themselves to the community, right? (If not, then such postings will be considered as "graffiti" and will be removed promptly.) 4. Those that are obviously "flamers" who never add anything of particular value here, and are just name callers will probably be removed depending on how annoyed the Webmaster happens to be at the time. 5. To those who ANSWER flamers and perpetuate the inane posts...JUST SAY NO!! Don't respond to those types of messages. When you do, THEY WIN! Annoying, name calling posts of no discussion value will be removed....we have other uses for the disk space. 6. Postings concerning business "opportunities", advertisements for products or services, multi-level marketing, etc. should be posted in the 4042.com FREE Classifieds - not in the Discussion Group.
OK then I see that all pretty much sums me up... :jester: One thing though not a flamer in regards to which side of the fence your on...:jester: I'm the gas can carrying flamer type, just to be clear.... :jester:
The rules on here are like a buffett. You take what you like and leave what you don't. :lol: Monaco pimped himself around here for weeks - even if he didn't start a thread about it it was clear he was trying to drum up business. Nobody had a problem with that and people wanted to help him (until he ended up not doing such a hot job). I don't blame the OP if they wanted to give it a shot. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If she could get one job that would probably help them. This board has a reputation for helping people. I think instead of talking about breaking the rules we could at least brainstorm ideas for how he can try and get insurance, unemployment etc. I don't blame people after the Monaco thing if they don't want somebody coming to do work without insurance, but running someone off just because there's a rule in the flimsy rule list doesn't mean we can't help somehow. (Flame away.)
Well before I decide I will need the Zen-Master to break this all down for us word for word, rule by rule so we can all better understand it. WAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are you buddy.... :jester::jester:
