I been using Cakewalk since at least 1998. That may make me want to try other software with some concerning the "attitude" given on this forum at times from other members, that are not cakewalk employees.
 
But I guess there is the Ignore Button also or something like that to consider.
I play all the musical parts myself, please do not listen if you do not want to.
 
 

I bet some are worried that foul balls will count against you... 

MAYBE not
 
THIS   was flagged as SPAM yesterday and disappeared .
 
Today, it reappeared , still with 3 flags as spam.
 
That PARTICULAR post appears to be a self promotion of his software, maybe the Mods think its OK.
 
But I notice he is banned.

Shawn's been around for a good while, but he does like to plug his studio/company, in no uncertain terms.

He's also a bit of an A$$ sometimes  - referring to the way I've seen him treat some people on the forum, present company excluded.  I have nothing against him personally.
 
from what I see there in that linked thread, there's nothing in itself which would justify his banning, IMO.

He's not exactly alone there though is he ? 

 
I'm currently creating a plug-in that's shaped like a plug.
 
I'm going to call it "My Plug".
 
I wonder if I'll be allowed to plug promote it

I thought you already had something you called your plug Steve!

what's to stop an a$$ from having 3 accounts and flagging my posts as spam?

Your IP address!
 
Which is the problem. The information on the headers is spoof'd and the mail server does not have the time, or ability to separate it and notice the different IP addresses and routing!
 
If they did, these would never see the light of the day, but the issue is, it would take all day to get past checking these and you would never see your email or posts!
 
Give and take, and bad code ... what do you expect?
