Or did she get into some forum drama and now her text turned white 🤣 just because I might put her on my ignore list?

Just curious, the PŽK file basically became my favorite PDF 😁

I really miss Herp, man. She’s absolutely stunning 😍

I guess I'll just jump in here and share what's on my mind...😳

Bans aren't handed out just because people want them to be or based on what they feel like...

Lawrence Cruz said:Which bank actually charges for deposits made into a personal checking account held at that same institution? From what I can tell, neither JPMorgan Chase, the Federal Reserve, nor Bank of America does.

Well, at Bank of America, you definitely get hit with fees for deposits in Split, because I've been looking at my recent statements and it's pretty clear...
I haven't used JPMorgan Chase in a little while, but if I remember correctly, they seem to have those same kinds of fees too...
Basically, that means if you're sending money to Peter over at Erste Bank, you'll be the one footing the bill for the fee...
It's not a charge when Peter just moves money into his own account...

Which Maui card are you using?
Is it credit or debit?

Austin Harris8 said:I’m not actually demanding they strip my privileges, I’m really just giving you all a chance to clean up the mess left behind by some questionable moderation...

Look, as someone who’s been around this community for more than a day or two, you really ought to realize that losing access isn't something that just flips on and off overnight...
Since you were the one asking for a review of your status, now you have it, but things don't just vanish instantly because there's a specific process we have to follow when dealing with account standing...

Austin Harris8 said:When it comes to making my point, I honestly think one thing is enough—which is the fact that most people here have told me my writing style is perfectly fine, unlike the small group who seems to have an issue with it, and since I'm always running into the same handful of women over and over again, I think that speaks for itself... 🤷

The points used to justify your situation aren't based on how much people like you or dislike you, because as I've already mentioned, the decision was made strictly based on your actual posts and how you conduct yourself, rather than whether or not people think you're a great guy on this site...🤷

Regarding your behavior specifically, you've been flagged multiple times through formal warnings, moderator notices, and private messages for not following the rules...
As far as I'm concerned, the matter is settled, though maybe we'll run into each other over on Zillow sometime down the road...

Austin Harris8 said:It’s true, I went looking for a partial settlement... I just got tired of dealing with those few people who claim I'm "bothering" them—they annoy me just as much as I annoy them—so I figured it would be better to just take a little break from all that nonsense...

So you went out and grabbed the exact partial settlement you were looking for, and then you come over to the Democratic Party thread just to complain about that very same settlement... 😵

The reasons why it was approved have already been laid out, and honestly, if you had kept ignoring warnings the way you have been, you probably would have ended up getting it through a moderator's request rather than asking for it yourself...

Austin Harris8 said:Opening this topic was prompted by something else entirely... Like I said, the partial settlement isn't even the main point, it's the principle of it all, so please just explain to me... how is it that I'm only bothering a handful of people when so many others have already said I'm not a bother at all?
We can even list the usernames of everyone who claims I'm annoying versus everyone who says I'm fine, just so we can look at the actual ratio, which is no big deal to me...

I haven't been sitting here measuring how popular or liked you are on specific forums, nor do I plan to...
The moderators read everything everyone posts, and they make their decisions based on that...

Just wanted to jump in here and back up what my colleague was saying.
You asked for the partial files, and since the moderators were all on the same page, they just handed them over to you. It wasn't even a difficult decision for them to make, mostly because you've been stuck doing the exact same repetitive PDF tasks for ages—tasks we've actually asked you several times now to stop doing...

The whole thing feels like intentional provocation, just trolling and turning discussions personal to stir up drama and make a huge mess of the place, which is a pattern we've seen from you way too many times before, and honestly, the moderation team has repeatedly reached out and pleaded with you to move past this behavior...
Even you’ve admitted on more than one occasion that you do these things quite consciously and on purpose...

Morgan Watson3 said:He's using an email address; scholzfinanz@aol.com

Honestly, getting a serious business email from an AOL domain feels about as legitimate as a major bank operating out of a Yahoo or Gmail account... which is to say, not at all.

Morgan Watson3 said:Well, we actually did visit the bank, but it seems like it's nearly impossible to secure any kind of credit as a beginner, even though we have solid collateral and a very promising project. Apparently, Scholz acts as a facilitator when it comes to securing mortgage loans.

The big giveaway is that word "apparently"...
The whole thing just smells fishy from miles away, because you don't just have some visionary stranger drop out of the sky ready to push your loan and your project through...
Because if they really were that helpful, they wouldn't be asking you for an upfront fee in the first place...

Hold on, this guy claims he works for some credit union, but his email is just a random Gmail address, and you guys aren't even suspicious about that 😬
I won't even get into the rest of the red flags...

copperrider28 said:Just like some people think a lack of moderation leads to total chaos, we feel that if we get too strict with the rules, everything just turns into this really dry, boring exchange of facts...

I’m asking again, why doesn't your little group just head over to the San Francisco thread and keep up that same energy there...🤷

I'm one of those users who would honestly love to see the San Francisco thread become just as constructive and helpful as the ones for other cities out there...

Carol Hernandez94 said:well, that’s exactly why we can't let the discussion about sports in San Francisco just die out, because it’ll definitely vanish if we don't keep the conversation going...

you guys really don't get it, it feels like I'm doing all the heavy lifting here while everyone else just watches....

we've been posting like this for years, just chatting away without any real structure or rules, and honestly, did anyone ever actually complain or report it back then?!

I mean, what's the big deal if the San Francisco thread is sitting over in Offtopic?🤷

I'm all for moving the San Francisco discussion to a different board so things can stay a bit more constructive over there.
I totally get why you guys love to chat, so just keep up that same energy, just maybe move the party somewhere else...😁

Grace Sullivan42 said:It wasn't about the family dragging things out, it was more about the general American mindset—that performative charity and everyone trying to score political points...
Nobody has said a single negative thing about the little girl, and there was just one person who made one negative comment about her mother, so I really wonder if that's actually enough reason to shut down the whole discussion...

But now that we've shaken loose all that talk about scoring political points and the national temperament, plus all the laughing over people clogging up the Facebook wall of a struggling local hospital, I'd say the conversation has pretty much run its course...

brightpuma said:I'm not entirely sure if it's just me, but if they're planning on dragging her story through the tabloids for the next thousand years, I don't really see why we even need to have a dedicated thread about it here... 🤷

Well, I haven't actually gone back to check, but I highly doubt that was the only discussion ever held about her on this forum...🤷

Grace Sullivan42 said:I’m honestly just trying to understand the logic here... what rule actually bans discussing Nora Fora or anything related to her? nobody said anything mean about the little girl herself, and there was only one single instance where someone mentioned her parents negatively, yet somehow we aren't allowed to bring up other public figures in this thread—even those who have passed away—and don't even get me started on other threads over in the Women's Corner where people were tearing apart many sick children and minors... some folks were bringing up the parents of other ill kids in a negative light too, but apparently, that didn't bother the moderators at all?

I didn't close this thread because of some brand new forum rule prohibiting talk about Nora Fora or her situation, but rather because I felt like the conversation had crossed a line and stopped being a healthy discussion...
Look, everyone has shared their perspective, the funds were raised, and the little one is headed off for her treatment, so let's just be decent humans and stop picking apart a single family, and instead, let's just wish the little girl nothing but the very best...🤷

Kimberly Robinson2 said:It would be great if I actually had a way to reach him... but there's nothing, his phone is just totally dead.....

Unless the bank decides to hand over his address, since I've got his account number and full name, but even then...

🤷😢

They aren't going to give you an address, because that kind of info is strictly confidential and banks just don't share client details like that...

Steven Palmer3 said:Man, I’m running into this exact same headache... I've got a Visa business debit card linked to my checking account, right? So I try to book a room at some hotel overseas, and they just flat-out reject the reservation. Then, I go ahead and register that same card with PayPal, and now it’s telling me my PayPal balance is $0.00 USD, even though I definitely have the funds in my bank account...🙂

Well, PayPal doesn't actually have a window into your actual bank account balance, so it isn't going to display that on their site...
It might be showing that because the card hasn't been fully verified yet, but you really should still be able to make purchases with it regardless of that status...

urbanlynx23 said:I suppose I should address what was said—though why anyone would want my take on this is beyond me—but here we go.

Oh, thank you ever so much! 🙂 So, basically—can I just shut the whole thing down after a year? Is there any catch where they suddenly demand some random fee or penalty just because I want to close my account?

🙂 That’s exactly why I was asking—because I’ve heard it’s actually doable... though, honestly, that’s where the whole thing falls apart. It's this Catch-22 with PayPal and online banking; apparently, if I want to set up a PayPal account, I first have to get hooked up with online banking, and let me tell you, those monthly service fees are just another headache I don't need. 😢
And honestly—I had already gone ahead and planned to just wire the funds directly into the account earlier... 🙂
Even though Goldman Sachs currently holds that position mentioned above—not that I have any particular inclination to deal with such matters myself—it remains the case. 😁 All these endless procedures—just because of a few tiny little things I need to order... honestly, it's ridiculous. 😁 Honestly, I am such a total slacker... I can’t even believe myself. 😁

Thanks a million. 🙂

You don't actually need online banking, where did you hear that?

You just link your card to your PayPal account and then when you're shopping online, you just pay through your PayPal balance or linked funds, so there's really no need to deal with the hassle of online banking at all...

urbanlynx23 said:To make a long story short, 😁
can I actually use a Visa Business Electron card from JPMorgan Chase for purchases? It’s technically a debit card, but it's tied to a checking account...
Or am I required to have a standard checking card, a foreign currency card, or even a credit card? I stumbled upon some info somewhere suggesting you can't use a basic debit card for certain things...
And if my understanding isn't completely botched—is the standard checking account just a Maestro chip card from JPMorgan Chase, while the foreign currency one is a Visa Electron chip from them?
Also, does every single bank use the exact same terminology? For instance, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, etc.—do they all just call their cards the same thing? Like, is a checking card always called Maestro everywhere, a business card is always a Visa Business Electron, and foreign currency is always a Visa Electron International? That seems to be how it works at New York banks... I mean, what I'm trying to get at is, does it all basically boil down to the same thing regardless of the bank?

Just link it to your PayPal account and you should be all set to shop normally.
Of course, you'll just need to make sure there's actually enough cash sitting in the account first...

Too good.
That Mickey Mouse route absolutely wiped me out...😂

Thanks so much for getting back to me😁
