VERY upset at WCG!

I posted about my Relay for Life fundraising and they wiped out the post saying no soliciting, yet the one from last year was still visible.

Here's the newer one:

Here's the older one and it won't let me edit it.

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,32784

This is absolute bullsh*t and I'm furious!!! When I get my 180 day gem for Schistoma (by the end of this week) I'm done.

First step: update a link in your old post

Well, WCG doesn't seem to be all that 'open' or reasonable.
And it's not as though you were soliciting funds for your own personal use.
Some tight-assed rules-nazi probably complained to a moderator!


Maybe you'd consider F@H for a while...?????
You know me...always pimping for F@H!!!

I have requested one of their Supervisors call me at home to discuss the matter.

Well one person replied...

[quoyr]Hello again Blurf,

We try to enforce our forum rules consistently, and review the forums daily to ensure that forum rules are being followed. Occasionally we do miss a post that violates the forum rules.

We agree that this is a legitimate charity and many of our members have legitimate charities that they would like to promote, however, we do not allow solicitation of any type. We wish you luck in your charity drive. Take care.

Shit Sad . It is quite different when somebody post a link to "original" Louis Vuitton bags and someone like you Blurf, posting a link to legal charity.

Going to post your link to my "social media" accounts, maybe somebody from my friends/followers/other people will find it worthwhile.

As you say: Celebrate, Remember, Fight back!

Cheers and good luck #ni-1

I hope "social media" isn't a euphemism for the anonymous cadre. Laughing
That wouldn't be nice...funny, yes...but still, not nice.

Hi Blurf,

You are short by 400 credits to round them to 1.5 million. Maybe it will be worth shrubbing few more WU's #ni-2

Happy holidays (whatever they are - I am, for example, celebrating Zeus' birthday Very Happy ) all #ni-1

And one last observation from me in this topic .

Blurf, I am sure I am not the right person to tell The Man who is doing such great things for increasing the awareness about the importance of fighting against the cancer (and other diseases) as you do, but from my experiences, life is too short to keep us offended for long time. Very often, when we calm down and realize it was not worth it, it is too late.

And I am (almost) sure mods (at least some of them) realized something similar.

Cheers and NI!

No they didn't --I reposted it the other day and got another nasty email back.
