1st Warning - Dec, 2009 for creative spelling.
2nd Warning - June, 2011 for creative spelling of the same word.

Adios.
Don't forget to take your toys home with you.

 

[badguybuster]

No sense leaving. I've gotten those "reminders" for different things. Its nothing personal just quit doing what they are spanking you for. Sheesh.

 

[venomballistics]

thus far Ive been ticketed for race and religion .... well it keeps me a little humble and I dont really get bent out of shape about it.
Kinda figured I'd get it for cop bashing since its one of those topics I fight with ... hasnt happened yet ... guess i might be changing my outlook.
I guess thats a tip of the hat to some of the LEO's here.

 

[venomballistics]

oh yeah .. IBTL

Leave if you want, but I always read your posts when I saw them, and think you add to this Forum. And surely it's true Handejector will lose no sleep over it.

However…………I can be a pretty difficult person, and have been warned a couple of times myself. I enjoy this Forum. I just cleaned up my act. I actually in many ways have come to appreciate the stricter rules of this Forum. The name calling, and the angered debates that change no one's mind surely never brought out the best of me.

Do as you will, but I enjoy being here. Besides that, aren't we neighbors? It's always nice to have a Forum member live near by that's getting rained on at the same time.

Personaly I see being here as if I am a guest in someones house. I dont put my feet on the coffee table or walk around in my draws

So if the owner/mods ask me not to do something, I wont do it again. Sure I might feel slighted or its not a big deal, but its not my house or my rules, I am just a guest here.

So no need to leave, just play by the rules

Is this where we all break out and sing a Cowboy Song?

Happy Trails to you
Until we meet again

I've had my hand smacked before. Moderators just trying to keep the site family friendly.

Just play by the RULES. It ain't your playground. It belongs to someone else who is letting us use it. No worries! Rules are rules and this is a better place for them.

Speak you mind as you please. We all do. Chill, relax and play on! Ouit? Naaaww!

PS You can edit that second to last word in your post, and sound allot classier...

[jagen heie]

may be wrong but maybe adding letters to words so the filter doesnt cover them over?

 

[357larry]

I got into trouble twice for referring to a guy who has been dead for over 100 years as a ***. I really don't think the dead guy complained.

handejector: I would hope cowboy117 gets a couple days to cool off. It ain't the end of the world if he kisses off, but I'm pretty sure he'll regret it. Stuff happens. I am pretty sure I've been a major pain to Mods. The knee jerk is to take your marbles and hit the road. This is the best sight out there in the history of the gun websights, since prodigy started them in'92.

 

[nicky4968]

I have left more than one forum. I never left because of any actions the moderators took to keep me on the strait and narrow.
Just man up, take your medicine, and make sure the next time you're in trouble it's for singing too loud in church.

He's not banned.
I did not ding him earlier today.
I did not ding him 18 mos ago.
He brought this into public, and that is the first I had seen of it.

I merely reminded him not to forget his toys.
When one acts like a child, there is a real good chance people will treat you like one.

I try my best to abide by the rules and I understand that that Lee calls the shots. I have never been reprimanded and will try to maintain that record.
However ) ), i feel like a lot of the fun and enthusiasm is gone from the forum, especially the Lounge. I understand the need for moderation. I'm happy with the ban on foul language, politics etc but it kinda feels like the local watering hole has been taken over by Billy Graham.
I'm not trying to get on your bad side Lee, it's just my opinion.

 

[Airpark]

Well, some guys just got to do what they got to do.

Personally I think Lee, AKA Hand Ejector, is a pretty square person. I got dinged by Thiokol I believe it was and had some personal health problems and was gone for a while and got a nice note from Hand Ejector wanting to know why I was not active and asking that I come back.

To leave for "Creative Spelling" which is to lots of us a bit annoying, to say the least, is very childish....mayby like the country music song says, "If I kiss you will you go away?"

Always felt you had a somewhat limited vocabulary if it took those kinds of words to express yourself.

Then again it could be the other song that says, "I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand."

 

[DeathGrip]

A warning and a little editing and your good as new.See there,Didn't hurt a bit.
Buck up Cowboy.Your good for the mix.

 

[handejector]

What is creative spelling? I'm not the best speller so now I'm worried, I really like it here and want to stay around

Cre@t!ve sp&!!ing is a method used to post a word that is not allowed on this board.

We have a filter that traps some words.
Use it to your advantage, folks.

Let's say yellow was not allowed.
If you type:
"I have a yellow car"
and type 'yellow' correctly, your post will look like this:
"I have a ****** car"

That is fine- No harm, no foul, and NO DING (unless context is an obvious offense).
If you type:
"I have a y@!!ow car"
you are creatively spelling 'yellow' to circumvent the filter.
That would get a ding.

Simply type any word you want to use.
If it is allowed, you'll see the word.
If not, you'll see ******.
LEAVE it alone, or pick a better word.

Bear in mind- cute attempts to use one word of a two word phrase combined with asterisks or a partial word combined with asterisks IS creative spelling and will get a ding.

I simply will not host a board that is rude or vulgar.
I will not host a board where boorish behavior is the norm.
I will not host a board that people cannot use to teach their children about the shooting sports.

No need to remind me that worse is commonly seen on TV.
I don't set the standards for my life or this board by TV.
It almost seems that most of America does now- How's that workin' out for ya?

Last, if you get a warning or a point, get over it. Read the rules- you missed something. It's not personal.

[pharmer]

It's like speeding, we all do it and once in awhile... I've had a few and I appreciate the opportunity to be a better person. Are those crickets? Joe

 

[cballman]

I dont normaly reply to these kind of post BUT. As a moderator on another board I have banned people for using bad words in there post. The first time they get a little note. Then thats when things get touchy and hot. I want to know if the people who use the bad words would think its ok for their children to use the same words and not get in trouble. I also work with kids and if they use these words around I get very upset with them. Now I really appreciate the almighty Handjector for letting me come here and play and learn. I would also like to thank all the moderators for keeping this board clean.

Thank You all.

Sorry, but I wanted this in print again. The red part is how I feel about my two warnings. The top part is how I feel about everything right now.

 

[AZTim]

I offer no opinion as to what Cowboy should do. We're all adults and can make our own decisions. I used to visit this forum much more often in the past but got tired of all the far right-wing conservative rhetoric. (Newsflash for some of you: some far left-wing liberals love guns too. I know this to be a fact because, well, I am one.)

I now note that extremist rhetoric (of any type) is no longer tolerated, nor should it be.

I appreciate the Administrator's strict policies. Keep up the good work.

 

[nostraDONus]

If you take a minute to think about it it's pretty easy to get your point across without trying to creatively "spice" it up. I am thankful for this forum and the opportunity to be a member. Just follow the rules. Pretty simple.

Thanks Lee for making this fantastic site available. I'm sure most of us get it. For the rest, try and find this much free information and helpful generous members somewhere else. I'm sure they will change their rules for you.

 

[jagen heie]

i come here to talk about gun related and just common things. if i wanted bad words and political rhetoric i could go to the local bars. thank you to handejector and the mods for making this unnessacery

 

[Andy Griffith]

All I can say- this is a great board and I enjoy it, and Lee and moderators have a tough and thankless job sometimes.

 

[Marshwheeling]

The Admin has given me a couple of quiet reminders to watch my language. I took them as just that: quiet reminders, nothing to take offense at. I enjoy it here even though I have a lot of views that differ from those that prevail here. The moderation and general tone is gentlemanly, unlike a lot of places on the net.
