Paraphrasing Lionel:

"The Monkey's dead, the show's over".

I hand it all over to kf7mjf. I was asked to come back. He's made me regret doing so with every post. I don't have friends in high places like he does.

So:

Good luck to all, Never give in, Never stop fighting. NEVER compromise and DO NOT COMPLY.

There are a few on this site that seem to get away with consistently inciting verbal riots but never get time off. God forbid you call them on their Bullshit and you win time off instead of them!!! Whatever happen to "it takes 2 to fight?"
Sorry to see ya go

Calm down people. We don't all agree, which makes this (and other) forum(s) interesting. If you "go" due to one persons posting on the interwebs sounds pretty weak.

Reread classic's post above yours.

Shit Steve I was on your side.....

Along with a bunch of other people.

I was shooting or I'd 'a stepped in sooner.

If you leave then its only meeeeeeeeeeee.



Peace Brother...

Hope the road you pick brings you back.

Really? Not only a drama thread, but also an uninformed cheap shot at the mod team?

Classy.

Just ignore that person or whoever, it's pretty easy.

i think we need a magic eraser cause some shit just will not leave. there is a reason why i only come on every now and again.

Bingo.

I've been sent on vacation over my mouth towards other people. And I still come back.

Seeing how things work around here, yea I have seen some favortism... But we all know that this steve isnt on the protected list from the mods.

How many Steve's are on here? lol.

15 or 20? Minus cake eater

You know? Typically we just trash the "I'm taking my ball and leaving" threads, because they are childish and since you are leaving, meaningful discussion rarely follows... But this one has struck a special chord...




Jesus I am tired of people using this fucking excuse..

Gary, calling you to the mat. Give me ONE example where somebody has been "consistently inciting verbal riots" and never gotten a time off. Can you? I bet you can't. I bet you can come back and give a situation where you were banned and the other person wasn't though... Even though that other person was, they just don't whine to the entire membership about it.

Let me lay it all out for you, and the rest of the membership. You have ZERO clue about what happens behind the scenes. You have ZERO clue about what disciplinary actions we dish out and to whom. Yet you have no problem stepping up on your wine barrel soap box and preaching complete and utter bullshit.

I direct this to all the people who think that there are people here who have a free pass. There isn't a free pass. You think banning a person here in WaGuns is just a simple flip of the switch? Think again. In order to get banned from WaGuns, you really have to be an asshole, dick, or really cross that line. We have a "tribunal" of sorts, where before a person is banned, it is discussed, openly between all the mods and assholes admins. Sure, there is that special few who get the tribunal after the switch gets thrown, but it's still discussed. There even has been a time or 2 where the group felt the initial smackdown was a little harsh and reduce the ban... There has also been the opposite, where a temporary cool down has turned into a nice, long vacation.

Think there is this one moderator that has a hard-on for you and is consistently stalking you waiting for you to cross that line? Think again! Honestly... We don't care. We all follow the same set of rules, same CoC, same... everything. I can understand that getting banned may feel like a personal shot to your balls, but it's not to us. We love all of you, and it hurts us discipline you just as much as it sucks to be disciplined. We discipline because YOU have shown the lack the ability to control yourself by following the very few, and very simple rules that we have. Rules that were created mostly, BY your fellow members.

Wonder why you got banned and another person didn't or did as well? Guess what, it doesn't matter why or why not that person did or did not get their account suspended. All that matters is why did YOU get your account suspended. No doubt if you get sent on a vacation, you did something wrong. Can you admit that? Can you see that you lacked the proper ability to control yourself and so we took you offline to protect you and our fellow members? Yes? Great, welcome back! No? Lame, the defense rests your Honor.

We are a VERY diverse group of people, spanning races, sexes, mental capacity, firearm knowledge, orientation, religion, backgrounds, nationality, blood alcohol content, etc. You are not always right, neither are they.

If you have a problem with a member, you have a few choices.
1) Ignore it. We are all different, accept that and move on.
2) Add the person to your foe/enemy list (yes, that means you need to resist the urge to click on their posts)
3) Report it! See that triangle, hit it. Let us know why it is a violation of the CoC.

If you feel like you need to make it your life's quest to prove somebody wrong on the internet, you are not going to have a good experience here.

Listen Gary, Mash Man, Rivitman, and anybody else who seems to have a sandy vagina. I am sorry. I am sorry that I/we cannot serve your every want, wish, need or demand. I am sorry if we have failed to protect you from yourself, or the members who scare you. I personally apologize to all of you for not being able to back you up in times when you haven't been able to control yourselves. But, I cannot promise that my apology will change me/us/this/them.

I can promise though, that nobody is above the rules. Which is what this thread seems to be about.

Will this thread last on here for a while? Probably not. I'll probably come to my senses later on and trash it, for the greater good and all that.

If anybody feels that they have been treated unfairly, please reach out to Steve (madpick) AND I, in a PM or email.




I think you should read the above as well. You and I have had PHONE conversations over this shit.

I could think of one involving gen nonsense, but it got deleted.

It wasn't just him that attacked, but others who attack him as well. I can't remeber the details but I know it was over him calling ATF and the local pd over something

You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin.

Brb, gonna go call the wahmbulance for ya.

I remember that... A lot of people got a vacation from that. There were also a few members who said they were taking their ball and leaving... Who did for a few days. They are back now.

General Nonsense is also perma-banned from here for other reasons. He was a huge asset to WaGuns... He brought a lot of members to the site, did everything he could to spread the word, give-a-way schwag and would give you the shirt (usually a WaGuns shirt) off his back if you were cold... But even the poster boy wasn't immune.

So, I think that GN is a testament to show that when we say there is no favoritism, we mean it.
