I'm not going to bash anybody, but this entire thing is about control. Yes some guys got a little out of control and got band. So be it . But the other night was just a knee jerk reaction to a some guys having a few laughs. This didn't happen out in the big public mess of GD where it caused a giant uproar. It happened in a thread burried in here. This was all about getting the chance to put down the hammer It occured to me staff should just let Dan back in with no access to GD, just the tech forums where he is valuable, and CTHTF where he has consistently been helpful with navigating CT regs, tech, member connections, and range info. He just learns more every time he's punched out. Take away the motivation and he'd be a good member. And they'd be able to contain and control him. And others would probably stop acting up. Just limit his access to his areas of expertise. It's been done for others like CWG. Btw I'm an older guy, not a snotty youngin, I understand how order is valuable to an organizations success. Woooooot page 7 ownage!! Beer bongs on me!!! |

As I told one of the others, if you're no longer happy here, then please feel free to log out an not return. There is no reason for people to disrupt things for the other members, or create more work for the volunteers here. Quote HistoryQuoted:

^^^ That there's a fairly accurate depiction of the protocol here lately. Heavy handed tactics over spilled milk. And I'm not wrong on that analogy. As I told one of the others, if you're no longer happy here, then please feel free to log out an not return. There is no reason for people to disrupt things for the other members, or create more work for the volunteers here. Do you mean that you don't get a paycheck from Arfcom like I do? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nothing to do with firearms. It's all about the freedoms. And the lack thereof. Can I ask one question, if I may? Did anyone from the CTHTF contact a moderator to complain about anything? Or was this all done of someone's own fruition? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don't think any of that has anything to do with what is happening on this site. Unless you're trying to equate the mindset of fighting banning of firearms with banning of people from a website? Nothing to do with firearms. Quoted: Lots of folks from above the Mason/Dixon line moving in, telling you how to live? Raising your taxes? Wanting more government and less capitalism? More and more rules and regulations and less and less personal freedoms? Sucks, huh? It's all about the freedoms. And the lack thereof. Can I ask one question, if I may? Did anyone from the CTHTF contact a moderator to complain about anything? Or was this all done of someone's own fruition? While there have been some changes to the rules over the years, the current problems are not do to any new rules. What has been happening in this HTF has happened several times in various HTFs over the years. You guys aren't the first, and I'm sure you won't be the last. When it comes to these types of problems, we leave the Moderator out of it. We know the tough spot HTF Mods are in (especially when they're friends in real life with members), so we deal with the problems ourselves. |

Dan lost any chance of ever being let back when he not only created new accounts, he used other members accounts to troll the site. Dan seemed like a nice guy, and did a lot for the HTF, and CT gun owners in real life. Unfortunately, he couldn't step away from his internet persona.

I dunno'... Sound like a family to me. A family being antagonized by authority figures.

"Cheerleading for/colluding with banned member DanTSX. Staff is over the disruption. Further incidents will result in your removal." Edit: I will be good going forward. |
