First off, I submitted some useful posts to demonstrate my willingness to help the guides community. I'm not saying that alone to should qualify for access to creed's little kingdom, but it certainly deserves better than a big red DENIED stamp.
Creed is just a little too full of himself, it would seem. And after browsing this non-member section -- which contains a great deal of information in and of itself that would help most new players in WOW -- and have seen the disrespect creed and several of the "members" have posted, I can very honestly say it will be a cold day in hell before I give Creed a penny to pay for his hobby site and inflate his ego any more than it is.
Now I'm not here just to bitch and complain because my submissions were denied. Actually I was expecting them to, because Creed has rejected hundreds of other people for their obvious hard work and efforts. My purpose in posting was to provide some information to others that may not know about those particular little tactics.
(Oh, and for the record, subscribing and cancelling your account is not credit card fraud -- technically, it's intentional account fraud and internal system manipulation. However I used to work for a credit card company, in the fraud division, and this doesn't qualify as "fraud". You should maybe educate yourself before you go trying to claim such a thing.)
At any rate, don't expect me to post again or visit your site. Frankly you have a lot to learn about respecting your visitors, and how to properly moderate your site. And I would suggest implimenting some posting regulations so your paying members -- for which some have demonstrated clearly feel they are better than any of the other poor bastards posting here "begging" for access -- can't insult your "guests". I'm sure you'll do something cute with my account, delete my post, or whatever, and honestly that's not my concern. Once you've read my post my job is done. But take it to heart, as it's feedback from a webmaster of a site with over 75k members and that makes a better revenue than your site does (from donations, no less!).
Oh yeah. And clean up your site. This place is a huge mess, very cluttered, and contains posts that are very old and quite useless. Lots of duplicate posts and posts about nothing (ala, this entire thread). You should be embarassed that you're showing the general public this train wreck.
Toodles!
