What exactly did Tosin007 do wrong? This is the Great Canadian Skyline Thread and he posted pictures of Canadian Skylines. What am I missing?

It does, but that's because of my contribution & my contribution alone. If I didn't post those Photo's then nobody would see Photo's of Calgary on this Thread for Months on End. (Not to talk of weeks). I made an example that if I didn't share even 1 Calgary Photo, then u have to go all the way back to Page 184 (Essentially 16 Pages from 200 which where on right now), just to see 1 Photo of Calgary from any Forum Member other than myself.
But according to most people my Posts are Spam though so what do I know right?

It's because I post ALOT of Photo's that it upsets people because their contributions also get ignored or not noticed.

@ the Flickr Account of ALL the User's I gave the Credit to.
(The coloring is even a bit different), not sure if that's an editing
feature some of the Photographer's used.
& even if they are GENERIC I know for a fact they haven't been shared
yet/ before because of the DATES in Which the Photo's where taken.
Are u calling me a liar? I comb other threads endlessly
too & also watch Skyscrapercity/ what they are doing on there.
Very Rarely do u see me sharing a Photo that came from
another Sites Archived Threads (Like this one).
& make sure if the Photo was taken on the EXACT same day,
then I share it! & I know that it hasn't/ couldn't have
been shared ANYWHERE before.
So what's ur point?
I don't even have to look @ what other's are sharing I know what I
am sharing is still brand new so who cares if u just want
to nitpick & don't like the angle? This thread is meant to be a thread
for archiving Photo's is it not? Sometimes I put those shots
here so that I can take a look @ them later or save them later
or use it as reference for other people. So YES their is a method to my
madness! Every Photograph Counts & every Photographer MATTERS
& has put hard work & effort into taking Skyline Shots for their
flickr accounts! Just because u think the ANGLES are the same
doesn't mean the Color, Picture Quality, Photographer, Time of the Day,
Date it was uploaded is the EXACT same cause it's NOT! All of these things
Matter when it goes into a Photo, never forget that!

Please, please, please please just take a bit of time to format and clean up your posts. You obviously have time because you contribute quite a few posts.

Use paragraphs, get rid of the 'ALL CAPS', the words you capitalize that don't have to be, using 'their' for 'they're' '@' for 'at', 'u' for 'you', 'Sites' for 'site's', 'ur' for 'your', ''their' for 'there'.

Truth be told, I have not once ever blocked a forum user in the 20+ years I've been on the internet but your insistence on not even trying to improve the readability of your posts is seriously having me reconsider that.

It's not that difficult.

I love Halifax. Those shots from across the water make it look so dense.

Looks like the new thing is to police every single aspect of Tosin's posting style and content. Tosin can certainly be a bit much, but if it really bothers some people that's what the ignore list is for. It's one thing to discuss disagreements on things, that's what forums are basically for, but it's another to offer "advice" after nearly every single post on how to post or not post in the future. He can write the way he wants. There's no question that he makes some careless provocative statements, but ganging up on the guy at any opportunity days after them is a hell of a lot worse than the ultimately harmless assertions he makes. It's bullying and it's embarrassing.

Tosin! Tosin! Tosin!

You are already back to fucking up and annoying quite a few other members. Plenty of good advice has been given to you - feedback from the audience, and you argued against it all. So, when everyone starts dumping on you, you know why.

I will be blunt: you are being obnoxious to others again, you are posting way too much (both photos and words); and when people start letting you know, you essentially blow them off. Poor manners. Poor judgement. Way too selfish and self-centred.

This post alone is obnoxious to the rest of us, kind of like a middle finger.

If you look at a thread and you are posting over 50% of the posts, and your posts are taking up a huge percentage of the space, you are fucking up the thread. I myself have started to bypass a lot of your posts to get to the wider communities contribution. You are becoming static in spite of posting some good images.

You need to listen because all you are doing is replicating the circumstances that brought you to quitting a week ago. Its ridiculous!

You need to listen to your music, get off the forum, and go for a walk, clean the house, fix something, break something, anything else.

Tosin isn't even close to the worst example of chronic over-posting lol not seeing what the big deal is

Yeah but the last Halifax Photo on this Thread was @ the very least 20 Pages back, so yeah it is a breath of fresh air since hardly anyone posts Photo's of Halifax. This is why I keep telling people that the contribution is more important when fewer people do.

I agree well said! I feel bullied but since nothing I am saying is wrong,
(Only the Punctuation is wrong), I'm not going to apologize for sharing
Skyline Photo's hardly anyone else ever does.
IMO I am doing the right thing & if people disagree then it's w/e to me.
I don't need that sort of negativity in my life!

But did I even post 1 Single Photo of a Canadian Skyline today? Nope!
I took everyone's advice, so honestly whats the problem? I've only been responding to your assertions,
of my posts being excessive & I behaved accordingly. Name 1 thing I did wrong today that people
told me not to do? I'm entitled to my opinions aren't I? How did I dismiss anyone's claims?
Even though I easily could have, (& probably should have), posted Photo's today that is.
I refrained from doing so because apparently, u guys hate it when I do so don't expect anything from me for a while.
(If ever), seeing as how anything I do on "Great Canadian Skyline Thread" is automatically wrong/ bad.
(& bad people know when/ where they're not wanted right). No more Photo's of Calgary, Edmonton, Windsor, Ottawa etc.
I bet soon as I leave u won't see any Photo's from these Cities for @ least Months!
Because frankly put nobody is sharing but me anyways.
So if this is the "sometimes we share Photo's of Toronto, Hamilton, Vancouver &
Montreal thread" then rename it. However if u want me to leave
then this thread's name now becomes not only "Hypocritical in BOTH name & values".
But Now it also becomes meaningless to the point where it really should just be renamed. (Since Canadian Cities like Calgary, Edmonton,
Winnipeg, & Windsor I guess aren't part of the thread very much). Unless of course I'm around right?

Thank you! Lol unfortunately people don't see it like that though lol, I haven't even posted a Skyline Photo in 24 Hours & people still hate me.
I don't know anyone demonized on Skyscraperpage more than me @ the moment, it's unbelievable.
& you know it is too because I'm not even trying to annoy or frustrate
anyone so what's truly excessive is how many times people tell me
I'm such a terrible person because of my contributions.

I agree completely. He may irritate some based on his posting style and borderline literacy (sorry, man, but it had to be said), but he's enthusiastic, and unlike a very small handful of other members, he is not a noxious, overweening grandstander who makes posting here an unpleasant bit of business.

[Marshal]

Well, good thoughts.

But, poor Tosin; the guy had a meltdown just a week ago and has managed to transit a full 360 degree rotation of the whole thing in just the few days since.

Last message: Tosin, you might be impossible, but I for one will grant you all the slack . . . no more help and advice, but all the slack (even with the literacy issue, after all, it aligns with the rest) - so, go for it.

(No racism intended....just based on Detroit's rundown state)

There's no reason to feel bad for Windsor, it's doing well economically with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country at 5.2%, and it is also one of the safest cities in the country. Being next to Detroit ( which is booming right now) is a huge plus for Windsor and Essex County, we get to enjoy all of the perks of having a metro of 4.5M right across the river without having to deal with the negatives.
It's interesting that some people still have absolutely no clue as to what Detroit is like now, it's like night and day compared to a decade ago!

As for drugs, most of the busts have been thugs from Toronto coming down here, not from Detroit, pretty ironic, isn't it?
