    Why does everyone get banned?

    I know im new here but i dont care, It seems that the mods or what ever like banning people, what did Robbo do to get banned?

    Ban me if you want for this post but A new guy to airguning asks a simple question, and you go and ban him.

    Could who ever banned him explain why?

    I'd wind that neck of yours in, Josh.
    I know you said don't care if you get banned, but if you do, I bet you come back under another username.

    FFIW, Mods don't ban people for fun, there's always a reason.
    Also, for your information, I have not long contacted one of the mods because of a message I got from a member who'd been banned previously, and the mod told me to tell the member to re-register, so you're wrong on that count, too.

    The mods owe me, you or anyone else, nothing. They do it for free and don't ban/delete without a reason.

    Pete.

    It's maybe those that 'don't care';

    The mod's do a great job josh and as everyone above has said if they are banned there will be a reason and if the say sorry are sometimes allowed back it sorts the wheat from the chaff


    The quickest ways to get banned are slagging off Whelks,Cricket,Ramsbottom(the guy who pays for all this),Carp fishing, or basically being a knob/troll/numpty
    The impossible I do immediately, miracles take 24 hours..



    NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE,IT JUST COSTS MORE

    and of course starting threads with "I know I'm new here but I don't care...."

    I'm not new here and I do care.
    As does everyone else that's posted above.

    You're not a precious commodity that we want.

    bye.

    In fairness to some of the people who admit to doing something a bit stupid.
    Surely what is important is that they see that they are wrong. This is not usually a result of flaming or banning. But by reasoned advie and discussion.

    We were all new to this once.
    And he how is without sin, cast the first stone.
    In my past I have taken some shots, that I wouldn't dream of now. I feel I have learned.
    Hopefully we could educate those who still do things to put the sport/pastime in a bad light.

    Well that's my 2ps worth
