Apple doesn't like grid computing

Tried to post a message in apple's support forums. They deleted it and sent me the following message:
We previously notified you to remove unrelated or inappropriate content
from the Computer Model and/or Geographic Location fields in your
Discussion preferences, and to use these fields for their intended purpose,
or not at all.

Additionally, please refrain from including unrelated information in
the Computer Model or Other Computer Information fields of your
Discussion posts.

Thank you for complying,

Apple Discussions Staff

The only thing I added besides my computer model is World community grid participant in the other information section. I just looked at my login info and saw they removed that part. What a bunch of crap. Looks like apple computer doesn't like grid computing community.

Re: Apple doesn't like grid computing

Hi Bearcat,
More charitably, they probably consider advertising for grid computing to be a sort of spam, like chain letters. Promoting grid computing is best done on general chat boards rather than in dedicated service forums.

Re: Apple doesn't like grid computing

The only time anyone saw this was when I made a post because it was part of my signature. Wasn't like I was making posts talking about grid computing and to get people to join. Pretty sad when your doing something good for humanity and being told your not allowed to mention it.

biggrin Re: Apple doesn't like grid computing

Sorry Bearcat, but there a quite a few Forums that are more strict than merely deleting your post because YOU abused their rules as to what is permitted in your sig.

The "original" idea for having a sig, especially on tech sites, was so nobody had to ask you 20 questions regarding what PC, OS & other specific related questions.

Just look around any forum and see how many times people have to ask the same set of questions, over & over again ... it gets a little tiresome to the point that some "helpers" just don't bother answering the question, because you have not given enough relevant information.

Who the heck reads Forum Rules/Guidelines anyway. wink

love struck Re: Apple doesn't like grid computing

Hi muckshifter,

Voting you to be 'Man Of The Day', but if members want to vote you 'Man of the Week' or Month, I'm fine too :O.

See my sig for a questionnaire now pasted 3400+ times on these fora and that golden 'I Want Help' rule that sits under that button in the dark gray bar with white print on every page top of the fora:

  • Please obtain as much information as possible about a problem before posting your query, as this will help to find a quicker solution



love struck
