why neo from unix.com is a funny guy

[Mysoogal]

it took me such a short amount of time to nearly get banned from the site because i titled my thread god help me, I'm so totally LOL over this guy neo from unix.com, god lets hope NEO from expert core is not that guy because that would be really bad ! anyways look what language they use for newcomers in the forums, all i wanted was for a example sed command to remove white spaces, other members of the site are nice people but its just always those in power that seem to be total freak shows

this is what awaits you in the UNIX forums,

Almost Banned From Site
If you ever post a thread title like "help me god" on this site again, I will personally ban you and your IP network from this site.

Follow forum rules and do not post trash titles on this site.

Any argument from you will result in an immediate ban.

few seconds later lol got this

please somebody tell me what is wrong with this, while the thumbnail grabbing works and encoding works, but what is not working is, mv $i.jpg /var/www/thumbs/ and mv $i.mp4 /var/www/uploads/



Code:

#!/bin/bash
# MINT 9 - FFMPEG - QT-FASTSTART - X264 - MP4


DIR=/var/www/tmp

for i in `find $DIR -type f`; do
ffmpeg -i $i -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -crf 22 -threads 0 $i.mp4

&& qt-faststart $i.mp4 $i.qt.mp4

&& chmod 777 $i.qt.mp4 && ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i $i -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x200 $i.jpg

&& chmod 777 $i.jpg && mv $i.jpg /var/www/thumbs/ && rm $i.mp4

&& rm $i && mv $i.qt.mp4 /var/www/uploads/

done

i wold also like to know how to strip the spaces in file names

example blaa blaa blaa.avi how would i replace the space with _ so it looks like this blaa_blaa_blaa.avi

beacuse sometimes ffmpeg does not understand videos with spaces in them, and files like these
blaaa[blaaaa]filename.avi

Note to mysoogal: Your original thread title was a rule violation. First and last warning on following forum rules.
All the best,
The UNIX and Linux Forums

now just look at the time it took this Neo to send me the warnings to a new comer to their forums

online mods can be real funny, when i read the warning i thought i was going to die

Completely unfair and I have never treated anyone like that in my life. In my years of experience in the field by working for many countries in the world, the people who have never been able to hold a managerial position, mostly act like this. They just try to show their authority through these things
However in my real life, I hold both technical and managerial positions and I'm fully aware of the consequences of treating someone like this for real

Also, don't expect such from ROBOT.LK ever. The main reason is ROBOT.LK is about helping people through sharing knowledge. I personally not even thought of putting ads and earn a side income. The second reason is you are one of the senior members here who plays a vital role as a member of the team.

Finally, regarding topic (or thread) heading... This is actually important for any forum. The reason is, this is what going to register in search engines and feeds. It is possible to list your topic easily on a search query for "How to get god's grace" or something . However the way admin explains that to you is completely unacceptable.

This is my way of asking things form people https://robot.lk/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1936#p4277
It is not right to get answers through PM where a topic exists unanswered, isn't it.

So bro, ROBOT.LK needs you forever. Lets keep our friendship until we die.

pheww really good its not you

the thing was when i titled it, i went looking how to edit the title, the edit bottom was not there so i couldn't really do anything, what he could have done was edit the title and let me know nicely to try my best to title threads correctly

but anyways, a good LOL because the way he was talking was serious my heart nearly stopped

[SevenZero]

Ohhh this is really unfair. As Neo stated, he must be completely out of his mind.
According to his rules, 99% of this world deserve the death row
If such a person with that attitude joins Expert Core, I'm sure Neo will not think twice to kick him off.
It is true that we are professionals, but we are here in this type of a forum to help people as much as possible, isn't it?

I must tell you guys that some Unix/Linux guys think typing POSIX commands on terminal is Computer Science. They don't know anything about true computer science which is about 75% based on mathematics. They mostly don't know there is a vast range of fields in this subject like Artificial intelligence, neural networks, etc... 90% of Unix/Linux guys that I have seen who usually don't have a proper background in any engineering discipline are like that. We can't teach them a lesson other than letting them stay with the terminal

[Mysoogal]

sorry late reply, its the exact thing i was thinking about, the majority of these types of people never actually done any academic work on Linux or any real scientific work, long term usage of the terminal can cause people to go mental
