Hall of Shame Section

I hope I’m not outta line for adding a point to what @Chdamn posted. The staff tries its best of avoid banning anyone. When it becomes necessary, it is not a happy moment. One must be dedicated to end up banned. But, my advice is not to test us.

2. Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi based the face of the Statue of Liberty on whom?

3. At the beginning of the 1990s which country had the most camels?

4. What word do we use to describe the Asexual reproduction of a genetic carbon copy of an animal or plant?

5. If you have 6 black socks, 4 blue socks, 8 brown socks, and 2 red socks in your sock drawer, what is the minimum number of socks that you need to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

the gauntlet has been thrown

The answer to no 5 is "new". Cause if they had been thru the washer and dryer a few times there wouldn't be pairs anymore. Some would be missing.

There have been times that I have really wanted to post the reason why we banned someone. But we don’t.

There are several reasons for this. First and foremost is a strict policy among the staff of what happens in the mod section stays there.

It is the only way we can freely and openly discuss issues.

The second reason is that a thread of that nature would absolutely devolve. As has been said. You’re kidding yourself if you think differently. We would have to spend time defending our decision to everyone if they didn’t agree. Which would mean posting things that only the staff should see out front.

Then there is the fact that enforcement can be subjective to a degree. Not on certain things but we weigh a members forum contribution and their nature in the equation. So basically you do something and are apologetic and fix it or you do the same thing and tell me to kiss your ass the reaction will be different.

Kinda like you welsh on a deal because you got in a car accident or you got more money somewhere else. Same offense by the letter of the law.

But the main reason we don’t discuss why people are banned is because we do not want to be like the media and give them the spotlight for their poor behavior or their rule violations. Let them be gone and stay gone.

All who were banned deserved it for various reasons. Let sleeping dogs lay.

One opinion here. It's nothing I find pleasure in when a member goes off the rails and faces the ban hammer. And for the record I don't think it's a good reflection on us as staff to keep posting comments, share private information about members that needs to remain private, threaten people with the ban hammer, or otherwise "clap our hands" when the ban hammer drops. When it drops...............we should walk away from it. Leave the high-fives for someone else. I want no part of that.

I look at this site as an awesome internet hangout that happens to be a forum filled with firearm-related content I find interesting. All while enjoying the online and personal time with the best people on the planet.

I'm not willing to stand idle and allow those who have no regard for all of the efforts and work that is required to keep the lights turned on and maintain a decent level of forum decorum as @RR describes it, to destroy or undermine what we have here. We'll ban them if necessary and do it decisively.

Lastly, I certainly don't want to see a list created with screen names, offenses,, etc., etc. as @Miss Lily mentioned. No desire here to live through some of that nonsense again, so let sleeping dogs lie.
 
I've mentioned before, just such a thread and I would read it. I do ask what happened when the ban hammer does drop. I suppose it stems from an interest in those who willfully tip toe over the line and back constantly, whether through fault or intention and just what instance finally went to far.

I still want to know the story of the "final straw". I think it's a human affliction. This person was reprimanded constantly. So. What was the final cause of their expulsion?



BUT. Now, after reading several mods reasoning for this request not being granted. It truly makes sense and makes me appreciate this community even more.

I still want to know. But now I have a better comprehension of why such a page shouldn't ever exist.
 
The only bit that would interest me is knowing who tried to re-join under what name(s). If I’m curious about a banned member, I go the the feedback section to see if they did somebody wrong. If they aren’t listed there I assume they crossed a line with a post/PM or they were a reincarnation of a banned member.

Yes, but IIRC, it happened on the Canadian side (think the dude that posted it is still a member over there).

Anyhoo, a video was posted of a gal, presumably his wife, sitting on the edge of the bathtub and attempting to hide a synthetic appendage…then reveal it…then hide it again…reveal…hide…reveal…hide…reveal…hide…

You get the idea.

It was like a magic act…

‘cept different.

Mods, do the banned ever get a notice, an opportunity to make it right?

Yeah, I know some posts are so bad it deserves a chop and the BST are self explanatory.
 
My banning at the other place was not a surprise based on what I said. What surprised me is that they even knew I said it.

Because I barely remember even saying it. It was tongue in cheek mostly, with the rest probably being a little likker talkin’.
 
He was just envious of your new gun. By the way, that thread still exists over there (in the proper place, of course). 😂

They have to see it coming. From what I’ve seen they pretty much ask for it.
