GoodBye

[Army]

Whew! It took a while for me to catch up to this thread!

DryIce: You are 100% correct, your script hit but once while I was on chat, that night....not the end of the story though is it? Your script, clearly violating the rules, hits 1,3,7 times a night sometimes, it hit 3 times during the last pop-up party alone. Being on automatic, perhaps you do not see my warnings? There are no indicators that it is script, so I acted as if you were there. As for the PM, I just read it this afternoon (Friday the 29th), but you would rather blast me here instead of being patient, so be it, there is my reason.

ThePatriot: In your first post;

John Edwards
Crossing over with John Edward, crap? why or why not....and dont get into religious stuff about life and death, it will get closed and i will get banned(again)

Seems to me you were aware that it could, or would, devolve into a flame session. That is the reason it was closed, whining about it in another post did nothing to promote yourself.

Your Sig seems to say volumes about your attitude;

No Matter How Insanely Wrong Something Seems, The Rules Override It

Although I do find it quite humorous.

I've seen alot of change since I joined too, but thankfully its all been for the better. IMO

its simple. just dont say anything and no one will get mad.i havnt been here for that long, but still i watch what i say and it all works out for the best. i never mention religion, race ect....... i never swore or tried to circumvent the cuss filter. the worst i got was a political discusion which never even got into a flame. sorry to see you go, but i dont see anything wrong with what the mods did.....

A few things. How many of us have cable? That means that we are signed on to the internet at all times, correct? I have noticed that 9 times out of 10, there is 2 or 3 moderators in the chat. However, they are not saying anything. I see them in there days at a time but never speaking. I also see members in the chat that never say a word, but are always there. As Army has stated, he was simply not at his computer, but was still signed in. Don't be so quick in your expectations for a response, he wasn't ignoring you, he simply wasn't there.

Now he starts a thread that we know might cause a problem. He even states so in the thread. The thread gets banned. After that, he starts another thread about the SAME exact thing. Have we lost all common sense and reasoning? If you figured it would get banned before you even started the first time, why would you start a second thread about the same topic when it did in fact get closed? To me that's just asking for it.

He was kicked out of chat after his first violation. Now you and a few others are complaining that you shouldn't have gotten banned, but yet a warning. My question is, why? You have full access to the rules of these forums. If you break them, why should you recieve any kind of warning for your for your lack of consideration for the rules. I know it's been said but being on this board is a privaledge, not a right. We get all kinds of usefull information and insight about our guns from being on this forum. I for one am going to do whatever i have to do to stay within the boundries of what's decent to keep the advantage of talking to the owner/creator of this company. If you don't like his rules that he has enforced, why are you even here?

I for one have never read the rules in either the chat or the forums. The only times i've even seen mention of the rules when they are in dispute over situations like this. I don't think i've ever really broken a single rule. I remember i cursed once in a thread and when i re-read the thread, i saw the "****" in its place. I imeadiately edited it out so it wasn't there. Following the rules really isn't that hard, nor is it troublesome. Do you go to school and tell your teacher, or work and tell your boss, "____ you" because you dislike her and you're expressing your freedom of speach? i don't think so.

To me, it's hard to understand why people have such a hard time keeping discussions civil on forum's such as these. I think it's because at other places, such as pbnation, rules are loosely enforced, if they even exist. I really don't stray from these boards cause i can't sift through all the garbage that the other boards have because of their lack of moderation. Then they come here and expect the same kind of forum, and they couldn't be more wrong. Honestly, i feel that if you find it that difficult to stay with the flow of things here, then go to another board and start whatever topic you feel you should, but stay off of here. Then again, what does my opinion mean? I guess it only means anything to me. I can live with that.

Bye Patriot, good luck to you. I hope you find the message board that treats you they you want to be treated.

OK,well,I have been pondering this upon my massive brain....And have noticed some thing.You say he was excessivly posting in the chat...3 times right?wow,3 times.Its not like I saw hundreds of lines of texts whirling by....YYYYY.NNNNN.Chugga chugga chugga choo choo?hm....no.Even though TK clearly said vote ONLY ONCE,people did it many,many times,I saw no one get banned or kicked for that.democracy.....or dictatorship?

[DryIce]

well army
according to my pm tracking
you read it the day i sent it
so unless the pm tracking is wrong
i dunno

here
i will drop my proof
and leave it at that
im not trying to keep this flame war going any longer



i also didnt mean you had to pm me on here
i thought you would of atleast done it on irc
but
thats enough of this

Yes this forum is overly strict, but that is just as good as bad. If you ever went to GamerWeb.com's forum for example you'd start to appreciate good e-discipline. It's like an online Jerry Springer show over there sometimes.

So I guess what I'm saying is stop whining and follow the rules. Sorry to lose you Patriot, you were one of our best members. DAMN *EDIT* Follow the rules... POO

[gimp]

I spend to much time on these forums, maybe I should get banned so I can go do something useful...

You said it, not me.
