Psh Ban... FFS

[Doctor Sleep]

He was asking for a ban, I don't see anything bad here except his childish behaviour.

If you don't like the ebooks don't buy it.
If you don't want be on this forum, just leave it.

Maybe a temp ban would have been a better idea. I guess it’s a permeant one.
He might have been drunk, angry or another reason.
I think it was a bit quick to grant his wish and maybe he regrets it today.

 

[t2van]

Any that have the budget to pay 90$/week to be pinned.

I'm sure the weekly pinned fee is more than that? EDIT $390 per week for a sticky in the SEO section.

Either way but that's the issue if everyone keeps paying it what makes that service worthy of a pin. Whats valued or how big the wallet is.

Careful how you both use the word ban as it might come back and haunt you.

@Psh was a decent (one of the few good ones) member on here if him and others keep going or leaving because they don't agree with this place or get banned for going against the grain then this place is done for.

Or worse getting banned for as far as I read his post a "flippant" comment then we are all doomed.

It's helpful for Newbies to read thread like this before buying.

I can't speak if he was a good guy or not, I don't know him and don't have anything against him. For the other thing, I follow the forum rules and there is no reason to be afraid of banning.

In the past many good users were banned, my friends, coworkers, people who helped me in IM. All of them were banned for a valid reason. None of them were asking for a ban. He was asking for end of the story.

@BassTrackerBoats - just give me a ban please, this forum is giving me cancer at this point. Can't believe a dumbass like ME, can outgrow this forum? Ridiculous. I miss the real info that used to be shared here, for FREE. Not with shit ebooks that give you ulcers.

So based off your reply. You also believe him that the forum was giving him cancer also?

It comes down to this:

1. He was banned because he requested in private.
2. He was banned as he went against the marketplace sellers / marketplace in general.

No one who utters the words ban me, in a public forum should be issued one. Other wise where is mine?

If you take his flippant comment as a serious request for banning then you should also accept he was really getting cancer as well from the forum. He was banned to shut him up. End of.

It's all about the money. Disagree, point out flaws = ban as far as I can see, the only difference in this case is they are using his wording as a "request" to silence him.

I'm pretty sure I've made the 'ban me comment' before I've had not had it. I think others have as well as a joke - and have still been here.

I've just uttered the "words that can not be spoken" above so should I assume one is now incoming?

I'm not sure why you need to try and relink something I've already linked to or if you are just glad that someone who criticised a product you sell has gone so "away with all the naysayers and we can rejoice" applies here.

As I said you should be careful what you write online, people don't know you or if you mean it or not, they just take it at face value.

You might have linked to it, but you clearly did not read what you linked to else you would have known he asked for a ban in public, in the same post. So I re-linked to it. See, I was being flippant and you did not get it! But now your saying nobody should be banned just because they ask to be in public!

He never criticised my product, unless you mean generically that no knowledge or books sold digitally have any value. In which case I am not really losing any sleep over that comment.

Either way I don't care if he is banned or not, because on a personal note I have and make more than enough money online.

That means I only do work if I want to and think I can add value, not because I need the money. So, I frequently turn down offers because i have no financial need to rip anyone off.

I'm not sure if this is a dig towards me or if you are claiming you turned down my work because I asked questions or not and then assumptions where made about my business that is easier to cop out.

I'm not sure what any of that reply means apart from. You did not hire me so I will make some cryptic reply.

 

[Mxty]

Although I wasn't close to him, or knew him that well, I quite liked Psh, and his comments always seemed of value - unlike some on the forum.

Personally - with cases like this, they should be some kind of reversal procedure. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you can get yourself in a bit of a hump and a negative mindset and say something off the cuff that you don't really want to say when you've taken the time to cool down a bit or get your head straight.

And I'm not saying he didn't mean it, he probably did, the comment about the ebooks is true and applies to a lot of services on here. Asking for the ban, however, was probably just the heat of the moment.

its may be $390/week in SEO - Linkbuilding section.

 

[Dark Sky]

I agree, and barely anything (or nothing?) is given back. There are great suggestions like https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/suggestion-hire-some-verified-seos-to-write-content-in-exclusive-jr-vip-section.1314289/ where the users could benefit from, which are simply ignored.
It's just a 'money farm' / passive income source at this point.

My suggestion still has no response Possibly the best suggestion I've come up with too I will keep fighting until the sun burns out or I get a response

My point was your assumption that everybody who writes an ebook is simply trying to rip somebody off because they need the money is wrong and you lumped me into that. I was simply explaining that.

So, no it was not a dig at you, I turn down proposals daily it was not just yours.

If you want me to explain specifically why I turned down yours I am happy to do so, but I think that would be better in private.

Nope, I never made that assumption about the ebook. I've not lumped you into this either saying it's shit or the services neither. eBooks are what they are. Down to the reader to decide.

This entire thing is how I think @Psh was banned for a heat of the moment post because of a reply he made in a public post has been taken as a "request" and is "serious" I have more of an issue with the rest of the market place than ebooks are concerned so no need to worry there.

Take the SEO section if they keep approving new users they push others down the list, the only way to win there is to pay out $390 a week to the pinned post. IF anyone and everyone can pin what value or worth is assigned there to the buyer of the service? None.. it's all down to how deep someones pockets are.

I will be honest with you, you are trying for something that has no reward and no point because money talks always. Don't you think the owner knows this? LOL
If he wanted he would make the marketplace legit, he was given so much feedback FOR FREE, but that means he would lose the 50% of the threads of people that own multiple accounts and they have been exposed quite a few times.
Probably if i was him i would do the same since the forum is turning to something else anyway and tomorrow is unknown.

This is a forum to make money, not act like a load of children spamming all day with " WAHHHH ALL THE EBOOKS ARE BAD" " THE FORUM IS CHANGING", who gives a fuck.

You guys are too comfy if this is what takes up your time. Im still new, so i get value from the threads (some of them) if you don't, then maybe you have outgrown the info that is freely available on a forum and need to look into different ways of getting ideas.

At this point, you're complaining to a business owner about the legitimate way he runs his business (which is how EVERY OTHER similar business is run)

Psh... I liked the guy, but it seems if you ask for a ban, you get a ban.

Can we stop with the toxic threads now? A month ago this place was an escape for me, now its THIS all day so i come on once a day.

Not trying to argue with anyone, just think we all need a re-alignment of what is important (make us all millionaires many times over)

Maybe learn how a forum works? If you don't like a thread don't open and read it. Close it.

"make us all millionaires many times over" maybe when you grow some hair down below and reach legal drinking age we can have a chat.

Until then enjoy school.

Can't this principle be applied to ebook marketplace threads as well?

You can apply it to any thread you like. It doesn't apply to me. As I liked that one and this one.

You lumped me into it when you said this...

His (Psh) points where valid...

Basically his point was all ebooks, but nothing else, are plagiarised and just designed to rip off the reader and so should be banned.

That I disagree with.

But, on your wider point in your last comment as a marketplace seller I actually agree with you there should be more quality control.

To give you an example of the approval process, ebooks have to go through a plagiarism check.

Mine is about 90% original.
Would you like to know why it is not what it is, which is 100% original?
I have quoted myself on previously published posts.
I have used phrases like "the first step is" and "the next step is" which are common in any book.

There are other ebooks which I have purchased that have a higher score and you know why?
The writer can barely speak English so the sentences are utter nonsense but are unique!

So, technically speaking they get a higher score than mine, even though as a book it is shit!

In short improvement in quality control, yes, outright ban on ebooks, no.

As you did not answer my other point, am I correct in thinking you do not want me to explain in detail why I said no to your project as it stands?

Plagiarism checkers do not work this way, you would need a higher sequence of not generic words. You wish it was that easy. Good thing i didn't buy your book because you seem full of shit, not like i have ever bought one, but i would never buy yours.
