Clarification on "post hell"
« on: April 10, 2012, 02:44:30 pm »
Howdy-

A few CoinOPs threads have been recently sent to "Post Hell"

The links in those posts don't really lead me anywhere so I started digging in and found:

http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_message_rules.html

Quote
1. Be nice to each other. We're serious about this one. Disagree, debate, argue at will - but please be respectful. Messages that are flame-bait, hateful, racist, or otherwise pointlessly antagonistic will likely be sent to post-hell, and repeat offenders banned from posting.

Is there something specific about these two threads that sent them to hell?  I didn't see people being mean but I did see some discussion of torrents.

Looking for salvation here.  >:D

As long as you post your spelunking thread while spelunking, I don't see any issue.  <--That's not a euphemism.

Rule 5. Far as I understand CoinOp comes complete with ROMs, right?

Nope.


"I have a torrent for CoinOPS R14 Full Set if anyone needs. After that there is CO3 R15 + Sets and CO4 Beta. CO4 rom/video sets have not been put together yet."

"Right now the latest release is CoinOPS 4 Beta 3, but full release with all rom sets will be available in the next couple a weeks."

"I was hoping for an unpacked torrent, so I wouldn't have to download all those roms and videos again too."

So now we can't even say that something is available?

I didn't see any direct links posted.

These are all me. I was unfamiliar your your site's rules and excited about CoinOPS' recent progress. I wanted to help others. I apologize and it won't happen again.

No worries UM - I would have PMed you if I thought it was needed. This is just me and PBJ arguing as usual. (But please everyone mind rule 5 - thanks!)

I accidentally forgot all about it a few months ago, when I posted a link, or where to find something...don't remember specifically now.  Wasn't even thinking when I did it.  Silly mistake on my part.

R14 is complete crap so you would be teaching them a lesson for downloading it Saint.  :laugh2:

You can get Coinops without the roms but talk about where to get it is naughty. 

Besides anyone would have to be a complete noob/idiot not to be able to get it.

There again I can think of two..contenders...who might qualify....  :laugh2:
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Can't we just edit the one offending post and leave the interesting discussion about coinops?

not to take PBJs side, but one guy saying he has the torrent with the roms,doesnt mean you cant download the emulator package without the roms. I think its a bit of a waste to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- can an entire thread instead of deleting a post or two.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
