I must admit - I'm getting more and more confused about what is happening in this board.

My very first post was transferred to the appropriate forum - I appreciate that. When I looked at it I got the impression that it was placed there not by one of the moderators but by Demon of Light, who does not seem to be a moderator of any of the forums on this board. Probably not necessary to understand.

Today I realised a new topic that showed exactly the same title as my post did - funny coincidence I thought - and read it - just to find that it WAS my post. This time posted by another guy - the sword of storms - who also does not seem to be a moderator of any forum on this board. Again not necessary to understand?

In both cases my post didn't appear as a quote (bold italic) but at least had a short line stating that it was posted by a new member - hal269091 better than nothing .

I really do not want to offend both of the mentioned junior members and appreciate their interest in what I had to say.

Nevertheless I would prefer to have my postings appear under my name or appear in the state of quotes.

Right - what I wrote in my first post was not exactly the kind of content someone should go after some copyright-Items but in my opinion this is not the point. It was MY post and therefor it should be under MY control, as far as it's not quotes. And if I - due to your board rules - do not have the opinion to control it by myself I would really appreciate to be asked - again as long as it's not a quote.

The intention of your rules is to prevent the boards being floated by inappropriate posts, flaming, use- and/or senseless posts. It works - as far as I read until now and I appreciate and respect that - although it's a hard thing for my patience .

But my intention is to prevent my posts floating across the board and myself from finding new threads like - lets look what he wrote....ahhh its me again. Besides the items mentiond above its pretty boring cause I mostly can remember what I have written - at least for a few days (getting less due to Halfheimer - wait another week and I probably will enjoy my own posts as new ones).

So could one of the moderators be so kind to explain how all this happened.

PS. @ Gregoshi

I re-read my second post and realised, that I really belittled (a new word I learned) every member in this forum with my small talk remark. This was not my intention and it was not as I originally meant it. What I wanted to express is, that I MYSELF would be forced to do small talk in here because the only thread I really have the intention to contribute at the moment is the Nap Mod thread (unless I opened another Nap Mod related thread in here - which I definately do not want to do Things have to stay where they belong - thats my opinion).

I DID NOT want to epress, that all the threads in here are small talk threads (ok some are ). So lift all members in here up where they belong and let them no longer be belittled (I like that word) by me

As I define it what I write here is small talk, because it does not deal with what I'm really interested in - helping creating this Napoleonic Mod In my opinion it just consumes time I could use better - for example by creating new portraits of Napoleonic Leaders - and this is a pain cause I'm now doing what I wanted to avoid.

My conclusion is that I will no longer be posting little Tolstois in here but start working - and if I ever will be promoted senior patron or junior member or senior member (or galactic emperor) - fine - it would make me happy and if not I'm planning to be happy as well

Best wishes
