Something for the Trolls

I wanted to take a few moments to direct this video to the form trolls, also want to point out trolling hurts the community as a whole as well. So if you have nothing nice to say and you enjoy this site, please PM your objections to that person, don’t post. Trolling honestly just makes people not want to visit the site. Also personal attacks our very childish in their own right, so those who are trolling, Im not responding any more to your troll posts because your the real idiot when you argue with someone on the internet.
I've let this go on for too long.
old_school, you have failed to provide any sort of proof, references, or additional information regarding your job and internship postings. For instance, in your art internship post, there was never any proof that this Nik person ever worked for you -- at the very least, he doesn't see fit to mention it on his website. Furthermore, you assembled an "art gallery" on your website that presented art from OGA in a misleading way, that would probably lead people to believe that it was created by your company.
On your programming internship post, you provided no useful information about the location, length of the contract, payment, etc. Even if, as some employers do, you're paying based on work experience, withholding the other information comes across as shady (much like pretty much everything else you've posted regarding jobs and internships). Plus, internships aren't exactly salaried positions -- people don't typically expect them to pay a whole lot, which makes it suspicious that you're not willing to talk about how much you're paying. One wonders if you're trying to slip by paying an hourly rate below minimum wage.
I try to be pretty hands-off with my forums, but this has gotten to the point now where you're making a lot of people angry. The replies to your posts may have been harshly worded, but they were valid questions and criticism, not trolls.
I'll give you one warning. If you make another post related to internships or job offers (yours or in general) you will be banned. If someone else from your company makes a post related to internships or job offers, you will both be banned.
