Note to YOU: Stop spamming the board with pointless posts that are obviously against the rules
Look under things NOT to do.
Hint: take from this what you will, let it drop and read the rules. Funny how people usually keep egging on the mods about deleting posts and get themselves deleted.
Note to YOU: First off, no need to insult or call people out - clearly you have not
bothered to read my post or the succession of messages in this thread. You can clearly see why I was upset, as I had mentioned the patent filing with respect to the applications.
This is exactly what was written:

Yes, finally! 2nd!
Interesting to see these patent filings come up on official applications from Apple - I wonder if there's any other hints soon to come
Second - While I appreciate your gesture, your assumption is incorrect; I am very well informed of the forum rules - I read through them the very day I joined.
Hint: take from this what you will, but next time read through the
entire conversation/thread before commenting - it may be worthwhile to know exactly what has been discussed.
Will people ever stop posting to say "2ND!" or "1ST!". It's very irritating and doesn't contribute to the discussion. I'm with the mods on this one.
See above response, as you have failed to do the same (in terms of reading the
entire conversation/thread).
I guess they finally have bragging rights that they spend more time on the site because they were the 1st or 2nd to reply.
Quite honestly I don't see the point of posting a "HECK YES I GOT THE 1ST REPLY. I AM COOLER THAN ALL OF YOU." post. I would much rather have an Apple employee high five.
Never said I was any cooler or anything - I was discussing the patent and albeit a bit excited that I made the front page. So if you feel it necessary to make a mockery out of it by stating you'd rather have an "Apple employee high five" go right ahead.
I will not stoop to this childish level.
To all of you: I had the decency to stop thread-crapping, I made 2 posts and that was it. I even had the decency (unlike most spammers/trolls) to edit my post and clearly state that I do not want to discuss this further because of the very fact that it was in a news discussion thread.

Yes, I am very well aware that this is Arn's website and that you can see the post count by looking at the number to the side.
However, my post was not unrelated as it mentioned the patents and article. I was excited and posted that I was 2nd, followed by how it was interesting to see details through various patent filings on official applications from Apple. Not sure how that results in a full-out deletion of a post. It would have made more sense to edit rather than to delete.
Again, seems a bit more of a power trip than anything else.
EDIT: I really don't want to discuss this any further, I was expressing my concern and that's all. I'm not going to thread-crap and create nonsensical or ill-sensed feelings in a patent filing discussion thread.
Interesting how all of you support one another and say that my mere little "2nd" was
childish - yet I have to deal with the same kind of
childish comments made by MODERATORS of this website.
Refer to the following post:
It boosts your IPR (
Internet Personality Rating™) three fold
- This is neither amusing nor remotely funny
- Stop trolling - insults or snide remarks are NOT welcome
- This is a useless comment and should be deleted for the very fact that it does not ADD value to the discussion
So if you pride yourself on professionalism and the fact that "
we're not in grade school" - then
stick to it because it
screams hypocrisy otherwise.
That said, the proper decision should have been to edit the comment and take out whatever was deemed to be as "spam" as opposed to a full out deletion.
Should you have any questions/concerns feel free to PM.
