Aaaaaaargh! I'm not a scammer, a spammer or a fish... not even half a fish.

I chose the screenname "HalfWayMan" because the name of the campaign is "Meeting Half Way", i.e. Deaf people make a lot of effort to communicate with hearing people, why can't hearing people meet half way.

Okay then Sorry.. my mistake also I felt something isnt right :dunno2:
 
Guys! Honestly, I don't want to take anything from any of you; rather, I want to give.

My company provides technology which can make many services equally accessible to Deaf people as they are to hearing people and there are other companies provide similar technologies.

The Half Way Campaign is a Deaf Awareness Campaign that aims to provide hearing organisations with practical solutions (i.e. Meet Half Way) and then donate the profit of sales to Deaf causes.

All I want from this forum is to meet Deaf people, learn about Deaf life & Deaf culture from Deaf people themselves (rather than a course or text book) and get advice from you guys on different issues which I'll face.
 
Read carefully people sheesh, he clearly stated that he doesn't want any money from you all he want is to learn about deaf culture and about you guys, stop giving him or her hard time and read his post.
how is he an scammer if he doesn't want your money? Hmm?
And let re-introuduce ourselves by saying hi and welcome to Alldeaf ok?

Hey there I'm Amy and I'm deaf and I wear cochlear implant. If you have any question about deaf culture you are welcome to ask me.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.

I think that the person that deleted my post completely misunderstood what it was about. I am not trying to sell anything to anybody; rather, I am trying to something good for the Deaf community using the means which are available to me.

The reason I joined the AllDeaf community was to make Deaf friends and learn more about Deaf culture straight from the Deaf community itself and my post was a simple introduction on who I am and what I'm doing here (i.e. to learn) and I also mentioned that I was registered on a "Deaf Awareness and Sign Language" which is yet to begin and that I'd purchased several pieces of journal material to help me learn more.

So how did my self-introduction break any rules? Especially ones about spam?

I'm determined to not let this bad start get in the way of my vision and i'm guessing its no more than a simple misunderstanding.

If you'll all allow me - especially a moderator - I'd like to re-introduce myself and tell you more about the campaign. Its purpose is to do good for the Deaf Community, so you can imagine the deletion of my post is a bit hurtful to me.

Thank you for your welcome Amy - being the first welcome, it means a lot.

I'm going to avoid asking questions for about 2 weeks because, I don't know much and if i start asking then it won't stop and I'm sure I'll learn alot from my course. Its a long distance learning course which will be here in about 12 days and I joined the forum now because I couldn't wait that long.

At this stage, all I want to do is introduce myself and let you guys know about the campaign. If you guys can introduce yourselves to me, that would be great so we could get to know each other more closely.

I guess I can start again, by saying that my name is Fahed. I'm a 28 years old guy with 3 kids. I've lived my life in London and now live in the UAE. I like to do good and believe that whatever blessings have been given to me have been given to do good with.

Any chance you guys can introduce yourselves to me; it would be nice to know things like first names (if you're happy to), ages, kind of deafness you have, whether you had it from birth and anythng else you'd like to share.

Thanks again for the welcome. I hope this is the beginning of a long friendship.

No problem; my feeling's haven't been hurt... its just not how I epxected things to go.

As for not reading the rules, I'm really sorry not to have read them as thoroughly as I should have.

It seems like scammers & spammers come here a lot and my use of the words "raise funds for charity" and "campaign" didn't help.

Anyhow, looking forward, I'm just happy to finally be welcome.
