So, after a post was trashed for mentioning a raffle on this site, in this forum, I complied.  I did not re-post it, and decided not to pursue a relationship with this site and the organization.  Today, I posted a thread mentioning that I'd be at the Tiger Valley Match, and would have the T-shirts and raffle tickets.  I didnt mention a price, what they were for or for whom.  The site staff here have repeatedly removed my posts, threatened my account, and are CLEARLY ANTI HELPING ANY VET THAT DEFENDS THE RIGHT THEY ABUSE.  i HAVEN'T VIOLATED ANY FRIGGIN SITE RULES, and am personally sick of Having one Mod say " yes you can", another say "no you can't"  and another still say, "you can but with permission."  I chose not to ask for permission, and subsequently not to re-post.  The mere mention of where I'll be with what, isn't SELLING any thing.  So I challenge and bet my ass hairs that the owner of the site wont call me.  His Mods are contradicting each other.  And I bet they are so into themselves that they get pissy and lock this account and thread.

That's right, show your true colors and feelings about helping wounded, burned and PTSD Vets.

I'm not scared of you.

weazel1, it is impossible for the people who run this site to investigate and verify every request for charity or donations. However, based on your bitter demeanor I will suggest that any fund raiser that you handle shall be denied.


If you were privy, to the behind the scenes conversations, you might reconsider that point.
And, I wouldn't run around shouting that you wouldn't support helping wounded military, but thats just me.  My bitterness,......yeah, Im not angry.  I just have misguided passion.  I have nothing negative to reply to your opinion.  And you're welcome for the freedom to have it.

I might add, never were there any requests for charity.....only mentioned a raffle to the site members.

So.before you posted your little tirad here..did you contact Jore Avila at [email protected] like I mentioned you would have to do for an ongoing fund raiser on the site when I replied to your IM on the 21?


As mentioned in the post, I declined having the raffle posted, and ceased to do so.  Several members in PM had asked about it afterwords, so the newly deleted post literally stated that I'd be at a certain place with "tickets and T-shirts"  I was sent a "waring" saying that I was violating the WTT, WTS, WTB, section.  Funny, I wasn't.  Anyhow, Im in communication with commanderjb about it all as we speak.


Not to detract from your assistance, you were actually the only Mod that offered any true assistance, after the raffle was removed.  thanks

Striker is staff.  Not a Mod.  Spend just a LITTLE bit of time to understand the structure it takes to maintain the largest gun wesbite in the world.


Shit like this is part of the reason I gave it up.  Too much drama and bullshit, often from people with the best intentions, but a shitty way of reacting to mods whom are really donating their time trying to help.

I commend you on your passion for helping our vets.

I chastise you on your attitude for not understanding that this place has rules, the responsibility is yours to learn them, and the mods do their best to keep things running smoothly.


The valor and importance of your cause, does not excuse your attitude.

Falarak & soowah

1, to repeat myself, I DIDN'T break any rules that you gentlemen spend time learning.  I complied and made a statement about where I'd be.  Seems this isn't going to be addressed by the person who "warned me again"

2, no one begged me to do anything.  If the original Mod who approved, and posted it in the Sticky section was wrong to do so, then a comment like, "weasel1, man I'm sorry that isn't how that mod should have handled it" would have been nice.

3, Too many of you not communicating.  Hense my frustration.  Now you're commin out of the wood works.  Again still too many.

4, Chastise me.....your choice.  No foul there.  A bit misplaced given the multiple Mods, multiple answers, multiple "warnings" and the last "warning" was for a rule that wasn't broken.  Again, you SOOWAH, wont admit.  That's cool.  

5, yeah, I'll make a bit of an ass of myself to shine a light on an issue that I feel is unbalanced, and when addressed seems lack any sign of, "man sorry, we dropped the ball here".  Not that anyone "owes" that.  But for the Men and Women I'll eat the crow.  Period, it's worth it.

6, There are Industry professionals that get away with internet murder on this site.  Don't see one Mod in there spanking any hands.

7, To repeat, my issue isn't that the Raffle was taken down, it's that the level of confusion and up to 5 mods said 5 different things.  So, no I didn't contact the other 3 people that different Mods gave me to.  I dropped the Idea of posting the raffle on this site.

8, This post is soooo subject to the wolf pack attach mentality of the lesser equipped mental midgets.  I won't reply to the posts they put up.  And in the spirit of what the ultimate goal here is....would ask that EVERYONE refrain from that kind of post.  I'm sure everyone would prefer (myself included) that any avenue that can be used to benefit the troops should be used, in an expeditious manner.  

9, Given all of this, maybe the way that Mods communicate with one another, could be improved to prevent this type of issue.

Last, soowah, Man, Im sorry, but thats absolutely not true.  My post always had the raffle mentioned in it.  I only added details about the rifle after it was tacked.  Im on here, hit me up.  How about ONE MOD MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS HERE?

Respectfully as I can be........

If you have a problem with a mod - you take it up with STAFF.  You did.  They instructed you.  You failed to follow up.  Your continued bitching about mods at this point is silly.


2, no one begged me to do anything.  If the original Mod who approved, and posted it in the Sticky section was wrong to do so, then a comment like, "weasel1, man I'm sorry that isn't how that mod should have handled it" would have been nice.

Coming out of the woodwork?  There has been ONE Mod that has posted in this thread.   Sounds like more Whaaaaaaaaaaa.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa.


6, There are Industry professionals that get away with internet murder on this site.  Don't see one Mod in there spanking any hands.


This has NOTHING to do with any part of your issue.... but I see your true colors are showing.


7, To repeat, my issue isn't that the Raffle was taken down, it's that the level of confusion and up to 5 mods said 5 different things.  So, no I didn't contact the other 3 people that different Mods gave me to.  I dropped the Idea of posting the raffle on this site.


I am sorry, but you are making shit up now.  There are TWO mods in the texas hometown forum - where this is posted.  TWO.  Not "5".  Who is giving different stories now?


8, This post is soooo subject to the wolf pack attach mentality of the lesser equipped mental midgets.  I won't reply to the posts they put up.  And in the spirit of what the ultimate goal here is....would ask that EVERYONE refrain from that kind of post.  I'm sure everyone would prefer (myself included) that any avenue that can be used to benefit the troops should be used, in an expeditious manner.


Pot, meet kettle.


9, Given all of this, maybe the way that Mods communicate with one another, could be improved to prevent this type of issue.


Again - if you have a problem with any mod - you simply take it up with staff.  Learn how it works..... ask.  Quit bitching.


Last, soowah, Man, Im sorry, but thats absolutely not true.  My post always had the raffle mentioned in it.  I only added details about the rifle after it was tacked.  Im on here, hit me up.  How about ONE MOD MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS HERE?

I am not a Mod, Striker is not a Mod, and Commanderjb is not a Texas HTF mod.

So you are all kinds of wrong on that one.


Hint:  See where it says" Team Member" by my name?  That means I aint shit....  Look at a Mod.  Like I said - spend a little time figuring out how the place works before you take a dump in the living room.
