May as well post on my main account then, since you guys can see all related accounts. Heard there was a data crash? The registration date is definitely wrong for my account haha.

I did that for several reasons, most notably to keep business and personal matters separate. But again, with you bringing up my '2003' account, I guess there is no point to that now since some curious members will definitely try to dig.

HOW would you bring attention to a service which can benefit a community, but NOT advertise or NOT remotely look like advertising? I understand the logic of not allowing advertisements (and I am referring to straight up [WTS], direct, kind of advertisements). Since you know of this account means you should know that I was an admin before and I have been through crap last time in terms of regulating forums. I admit that posting with my business account definitely makes the post reek of it being an advertisement, but same can be said if I post up any works which I have done using that account on any of the threads here. My branding is not 'Clicks'. My branding is my company, hence posting on that account. Yes, that IS a registered company. If you want to do a business, do it professionally. I aim to be around for the long haul.

Another thing - I don't collect Gunpla. I don't collect historical war miniatures. I don't collect figurines. The only possible tie I have to the forum will be Warhammer 40k, but is there a point putting up works I do featuring Warhammer 40k when more than half the community doesn't even give a hoot about it nor even look at the thread? However, the thing I am doing WILL benefit those communities. I won't directly advertise - stuff like: HEY I DO 3D PRINTING PLX CONTACT ME K - stuff like that warrants a ban and I certainly won't complain if you go through the due process when that happens. Heck, I will even do a public apology.

We are dealing with a world which evolves and technology improves every day. We are in a tech forum ffs. If I find a revolutionary cooling system and I got offered a contract to bring it into Malaysia, where is the first place I should place it in? Garage sales? Yeah, so I don't get banned. Second place? Kopitiam? You joking? I would definitely post in the tech section and the sequence will go like this:



BAM! The fella gets reported and the thread gets junked. A very possible situation. Let's say he does not say he is selling it, he asks the fella to check PM. Several PMs later, some jealous ppl then complains that he is 'advertising' the product. Thread closed.

Please, let me know what you think. If you want to take this to PMs, I would be happy to but you guys should work out a system to manage grey areas like these. Our economy is already sad enough as it is without having even more red tape on ground level just to make us competitive again.

tl;dr - Yes, in a way I am bitching about the system. If you want to judge me, please be fair and at least read the above first.

Edited in a disclaimer that the part in the random quote above is a hypothetical situation. It is not my intention to refer to anyone or anything, dead or alive. It may happen though. Or have happened before.

Opinion appreciated bro. Although from your post, again I believe a lot here don't really know about 3D printing...

Anyways, I hope the mods think about what I said. Please don't take my earlier posts the wrong way.

*sigh* My poll can't be found even on page 10.
