If we delete PM from our inbox, does it get deleted from your database as well?

I would assume so, but CyberFreak could give a more definitive answer on that one.

May I know the reason as to why you are not uploading your photo on the site?

I'm not sure why I would share my photo here to tell you the truth, however, if you are really curious you can look me up on LinkedIn and see my photo there, you are also very welcome to connect there if you so wish

That's great. Can I ask what's your academic level and major?

This reply appears evasive and not convincing.

That's great. Can I ask what's your academic level and major?

Thanks for your question shamzblueworld, when I finished school I did a four year course in marketing which gave a BSc in Management and an Advanced Diploma in Marketing. Some years later I did a part time Diploma course in Legal Studies and in 2012 I completed a post-graduate course in Computing.

This reply appears evasive and not convincing.

Sorry if it came across that way raaman, what I really meant is that I never thought members would be interested in seeing my photo. However, if anyone wants to all they need to do is look me up on LinkedIn.

If we delete PM from our inbox, does it get deleted from your database as well?

I would assume so, but CyberFreak could give a more definitive answer on that one.

The way it works is actually a bit more complex than that. For a PM to be deleted from the database both the sender and the recipient needs to delete the PM. If a PM is still in a users inbox or sent box, it will stay in the database so just deleting the PM as the recipient isn't enough. While you shouldn't pass confidential information via a forum, if you do, do it via PM and when the PM is read, get the recipient to delete the PM and then delete it yourself from your sent folder and it will be deleted from our server. It may still exist in our database backups though. Really we would prefer you to not give out any personal information to other users through our site and instead use other more secure means to do so where it is more secure/encrypted and restricted.

Thanks @CyberFreak for clarification.

Sometimes people will get a temporary ban and other times a permanent ban. What deed will cause a temporary and what will cause a permanent ban?

[Fergal]

Thanks for your question sprite1950.

What deed will cause a temporary and what will cause a permanent ban?

If a new member joins the community and immediately begins to post ads all over the site, that person (or perhaps bot) has no intention of participating on the forum and the account will generally receive a permanent ban. If an existing member breaks some of our rules and continues to break those rules even after receiving friendly reminders from forum staff, their account may well receive a temporary ban. Once their account has become active again, if they continue to break our rules with disregard to our warnings, the account may receive a permanent ban.

Bans are a last result and are actually very rare and the vast majority of our members will never receive a ban, either temporary or permanent.

Fergal, I wanted to ask you...did you miss me? Sorry ahahaha..dang I have been away for a while from here good to be back. How are you guys doing? So Fergal what is your opinion about Cryptocurrencies?

[Fergal]

Good to see you back on ForumCoin again Jybraek, it has been some time since I had the pleasure of reading your posts I hope all is going well with you?

what is your opinion about Cryptocurrencies?

I do really like the concept and have included some form of digital currencies in my forums for some years now. Hence, my interest in building and growing ForumCoin, which I believe can be really popular and will be used to exchange for a huge variety of goods and services.

What's the best part of being the site admin?

[Fergal]

Thanks for your question TeacherAngel. I really enjoy and am proud to be an Admin here at ForumCoin, however, I'm not sure what I would say is the "best part". I enjoy the fact that our community helps people earn money independently by offering products and services in exchange for ForumCoin and that the community has been growing so strongly and consistently.

[TeacherAngel]

Thanks for your response. It is actually one of the things that I like most about forums. Aside from earning money, you also create a small community. I have friends whom I only met through forums and we've been communicating for years now.

Another question, since I like "best part" questions...

What is the best part of living in Ireland?

[Fergal]

What is the best part of living in Ireland?

Thanks TeacherAngel, obviously I'm biased but I do feel that Ireland is a great place to live. For me the best part is being close to friends and family. Ireland has a family orientated society and family members do try to be there and support each other. Family values are still strong in Ireland, however, I do feel that we have lost them to some extent in recent years as we have become a bit more materialistic as a society.

[TeacherAngel]

Somewhat similar to families here in the Philippines. Are there many who still live with their families even when they already have their own families?

[Collinberg]

A chance to ask the owner of a great forum a question? That's something I have never encountered before in my months of surfing through websites and forums. So I'll take full advantage of this opportunity while it lasts.
I know an a very difficult customer and I have received more warnings that all the other members combined but I promise that I have cleaned up my act and I have concentrated in making this forum better by posting quality,unique and helpful posts.
I read in ur previous answer that you read every thread posted on this forum (which is overwhelming).. My question is.. How do you manage to stay cool and calm considering the bullshit( forgive my language) that some members posts daily? For example,I have personally committed some offences here that would have made me ban myself if I was the owner of this forum but I merely received a warning for it.
