Quoted: I've been lurking there for about a year, and I finally decided to sign up to ask some questions about the new Kimber Warrior. A couple days later I got an email saying my registration had been declined. No reason was given.
Anyone have any similar problems? Are they not accepting any new members right now, or are they looking for certain types of members?
I tried to sign up using the same screen name I use here and everywhere else. Only thing I can figure is maybe I accidentally pissed off one of the Tacticalforums admins on another site and got on a banned list, but I doubt that's the case.
Not a big deal, but it's strange since it doesn't seem to be a 'restricted' forum and I'm not a very controversial member.

Well, I imagine part of your issue stems from what is going on in this thread:

They are wanting to become more exclusive so they can keep out the drooling loosers that sometimes frequent message boards. Every now and again they get a troll that annoys everyone or starts asking for sensitive info. I don't blame them for wanting to keep those people out.
I used to be a member myself. But I got into a scrape with Pat Rogers over there over a post I put up on the expanded "protective search" powers in the New Orleans decision recently, and shortly after my ability to post new messages was removed because of a language infraction. (I used the term bad-ass, which was not allowed. I should have read the agreement more carefully, or used the term bad-a$$) They also had some techincal issues recently, so that might explain my inability to post, but gut instinct tells me that there was something else at work....
Here is the thread that got me in all the hot water:

I did a little back and forth with Pat in e-mails about this, but gave up after a couple of messages as it was clear his mind wasn't going to change about me. I am hardly an anti-LEO zealot, as anybody who has read my posts here can attest to, but it is a free country and he can think whatever he likes about me.
TF is a place for some good information. Though I feel one must walk softly over there if they are a member. I don't walk softly enough I gues....
