Also, everyone, please don't bitch, moan, complain, comment, explain, focus on, or shine a light upon Mozillazine.. Their forum and community is not our focus and shouldn't be yours as well..

That person has a bit of a point if you can get past the disdain and after a fashion..

Simple fact is Mozillazine != Mozilla and this is OFF TOPIC to this thread. This thread, which is about a thing that happened some time ago now is not about Mozillazine..

Basically, we should leave Mozillazine alone and as has been the general result, except when pushed, they can leave us alone..

Is that understood? Wonderful.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
It seems that they are beleaguering this though. I haven't visited MozillaZine since I was asked to remove my signature. I only knew about this pm when I checked my GMX account.

I am not deliberately stirring up drama, it just seems to be a feature there these days. It's definitely a tragedy, maybe tragi-black comedy.

It's a classic example of the paranoid behaviour there.

Why do you even go there when you're using PM?

A/ I've only been running PM a few weeks.

B/ I had no idea there was a war going on there.

C/ I rarely used MozillaZine anyway and only liked to keep up with what was happening with SeaMonkey which I also run.

D/ I had no idea that visiting MozillaZine in Pale Moon was against their rules, it isn't actually officially stated.

E/ I have not visited MozillaZine since I was asked to remove my signature, and have no intention of ever using MozillaZine again anyway. There's no point.

There is no war going on apart from a one-sided one (over there) that we are (very) unhappy about because it's filled with misinformation and general mistreatment of Pale Moon users. Unfortunately there's very little we can do about it, and starting some kind of feud is in nobody's interest.

I've asked before to avoid MozillaZine and the antics going on there on what is clearly stated on their site as being a "Mozilla advocacy site" as a topic here to prevent this getting out of hand. That very much includes not cross-posting your dealings in public here of what is between you as a MZ visitor and their staff.

Considering we've drifted from the original topic here to one that focuses on something else completely, I'm locking this thread which was primarily to inform our user base of what is explained in my original post here.
