    Where're the pictures?
    Place the link please.

    Simply copy the link given by imageshack and post it here.
    The link would be something like:

    That's probably wishful thinking. However, if it were true, it would make me wonder which color m1330 people have ordered the most of.

    I'm telling you. Dell reps tell you what you want to hear. Someone should keep a list of parts that Dell reps tell you are back-ordered. I'm sure we'd find that not a single part is in stock!

    Thread closed for now, since it's getting way out of hand.

    Oncito has gotten a warning, and next time it will be a permanent ban.

    Anyone else who does it will be banned since it's a really stupid thing to do.

    Thread will be opened after it has been cleaned up.


    edit: Re-opened

    Banning him won't be a solution, there are ways around that. And it might just piss him off enough to come back repeating, or whatever immature things trolls apparently 'need' to do to feed their 'e-peen'.

    We've sent a sturn warning, this is a public site for mature people who want to know about notebooks, already know or just is plain interested in them, not a playground for immature teenagers.

    Agreed.
    That immature action of his caused many of us to fumble into trouble and might have caused others to be fired.

    How about a temporary suspension?
    Immaturity is like a virus, it doesn't get cured immediately, in fact it stays for a while and linger waiting for the right time to reappear.

    On behalf of the NBR staff and mod team, we apologize for any trouble or mess that might of put you in, however, this is a public forum, it was going to happen sooner or later. At least we removed the link and handed out warnings, don't you think ;)

    Sigh I assume he posted porn instead of pics, and got the post deleted.

    That's sad but helped me passed 2 hours of the day.

    coriolis, I understand what you are saying but think of this. The place I work for has VERY strict internet usage here. At any point, a member of IT can log into our PC's and take screen shots of what we are looking at. They can also view our daily log of url's and see what we have been looking at. It would really suck for them to be monitoring me today (since I have been on this site all day) and have them check that imageshack url and see what I saw.

    I don't ban people at my site except once in a blue moon but this would have been a no brainer ban and IP block. If he comes back don't approve his account .

    By the way, i really appreciate that you and the staff let us M1330 maniacs play around on your board.

    So ladies and gentlemen, lets behave again and concentrate on the things that matter:
    - cup of coffee
    - a good book
    - hitting F5 on the order status page or annoying the poor dell system on the phone :D

    Oh nothing much has happened. Just that Oncita posted up a highly obscene picture, as a display of his severe case of immaturity, instead of the promised m1330, which he/she claimed to have received today prior to work.

    Back to topic.
    At least it's reopened so we can aim for the 3000th post :D.

    he could have gotten many people fired. I think if he just revealed that it was a joke in an non-offensive way, it wouldnt be so bad and a warning should suffice. but doing what he did deserve a ban imho. im just glad im not using a work computer at the moment.

    Not many forums out there where this would have been such a minor incident and the thread would have been reopened.
    I know a couple of forums where this would have ended in a locked thread and a goose chase to suppress follow up threads.
    I kinda like that style.

    Sesshumaro (speeled right?)
    Has yours been released by customs yet?
