If I am doing something incorrectly and the vast majority of the forum agrees then it's something that needs to be fixed. I take alot of what people have to say into my decisions. Some of it I will ignore, some of it I will keep in mind, and some of it I can use to guide me towards a solution. If someone thinks I'm doing a bad job, then tell me why I am. If someone just wants to talk shit, I got better things to do. If someone wants to outright threaten me ... then I say get off your ass and come and get it.
Do you think this site is run fairly?

Threatened a forum member. He wanted to meet after school on the playground to fight. Total Bullshit that he followed up with threatening E-Mails and phone calls after he was banned.
Guy is a class A winner.

Oh, BTW, if you want to see what kind of shit will get you put on a GTFO list, go to members and look up West Texas and then click on his forum posts on his last coupla days. None of them got deleted because they are part of the dialogue and to remove them would have screwed up the threads.
This is one thing I don't like. I think when someone crosses a line and makes an ass of themsevles the post should remain as an shining example of what NOT to do.
Wow. Publicly threatening people on a forum frequented by LEOs. This guy must be a rocket surgeon!
Exactly. You'd be foolish to enter someone's house and insist on behaving in a manner they find objectionable; but some people find it hard to extend the same courtesy on websites, even though both are private property.
Rocket surgeon?
Most do, but some are removed on the basis that they would make the gun culture look extremely bad.
Like someone else said, a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes, and I certainly don't read each and every message in each and every thread. My comment was on forums in general - not this one in particular.
My general nature is to be a smart-ass. I was kind of surprised that I was banned from Texas CHL for being a smart-ass - and I got no warnings or PMs before I was banned. Lastly, being banned from there certainly won't change my nature.
I understand the "my house/my rules" paradigm, but I think that sometimes, it's taken just a fraction of a degree too far and all of a sudden, users are effectively disappeared.
I guess the two users I mentioned never struck me as trouble makers (again, I didn't read every message on the board), but I know Mr.Redneck was also banned from TexasCHL which when you compare it to MY experience there, doesn't mean a whole lot because he could have been banned for mentioning that the last time he farted, it sounded a lot like the word "Cotton" came out of his butt.
Yep, he straightened me out a couple of times, and without kid gloves. I didn't mind at all.
I think we are all adults here, but sometimes people wear their feelings on their shirt sleeves and get their feelings hurt too easy. People are not going to agree on everything and that's just life. As long as everyone understands that, everything should be good to go. It's your website and you pay the bills here, so you have the right to run things as you see fit. All in all, I think things are run pretty fairly but I have observed some pretty silly stuff happen and people get away with it while others have only made a brash comment that hurt someone's feelings and they get banned for it. Personally, I wouldn't ban someone for speaking their mind as long as they aren't threatening other members of the forum or constantly breaking the rules. Just my .02 cents FWIW.

No one gets banned for expressing an opinion. Hell, we like the different viewpoints. It's what makes the site fun. If we all only liked 1911s and ARs, then there would be nothing to talk about.
People get banned for breaking the rules, plain and simple. Feel free to voice your opinions without fear of repercussion. Just do so in an adult manner.
For the short time that i have been on here i love it. Everybody on here including the Moderators and the Admins seem really nice. Everybody that i have talked to on here seem to be really helpful. I have been on a few other gun forums in the past and i have to say this is the best one i have ever been on.
