kyska Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know if you get banned on the BBS how long is it for? I was asked for a reply from a mod, and obviously got banned for my reply, and I don't know what the outcome was. Is there a standard sentence, judging from the modding I imagine I'd have got shot if they were in government, but they aren't, so any ideas? I'm sure someone, or many, have had the privilage of the most excellent moderating. I'm just worried if its for life I should have taken a few phone numbers from PM's.

njc110381 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 The BBS seems to have a nasty reputation for banning members. So bad in fact that I've never bothered to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I suppose it depends what you've said or done... If you feel it's unreasonable, contact the mods and ask them to reconsider. That's if you actually want to be a member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perceptions change in a given situation. Place yourself elsewhere and this forum has a similar reputation. Every forum has it's culture, The BBS is pretty good from where I am looking.

steve_b_wales Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I got banned for metioning a member there who wastes other members time by saying he will buy goods off you and then p *** ing you about, like he did to me on PW. I never got a reason off the mods and they did not even have the decency to reply to an email I sent to one of them. 30 day ban? They can shove their site!

Pigeon watch is excellent for the mods, for all you banned off the bbs send me your user names and I'll go on and see them, Borntoshoot you can't post pictures or videos of kills on there Edited December 28, 2009 by Hezbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snap Cap Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I find Airgun BBS is ok as long as you avoid their politics. I personally doubt a few of them on there actually have been or ever will go shooting but that is beside the point. Never been banned from there though, but I think its 30 days depending on "The Offense" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 the mods on bbs, must sit there in there little hitler suits. About right, I maybe made a mistake, with English being my first language, but only educated in the UK I grew up in a different culture and got some sarcasm wrong (do I do this on this site?) and was asked to explain, which I did and have been banned. I'm not that ***** to be honest, I just said what quite a few people were thinking of a particular mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think the BBS site is good! So do I, I'm not griping at the site, just what I think was heavy handed moderation, I wasn't even complaining about that really, its their site, not a democracy, just asking how long the ban stands for.

leeds chimp Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I use to go on there but found it a bit over powering for a new person. I mod for a carping website and if we ban or remove a post we always give a full reason and ALL pm's are answered ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet 6 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I think it's 30 days, if you want I'll get in touch with the mods and ask them I have been banned for well over a year now, I have no idea why I was banned. I have asked several times, both by direct e-mail and by using the contact us link, never had an answer. Oh, yeah, I was never even told I was banned, just one day no access. As this forum seems to have swear word ******* there not much point in saying what I feel about it. Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowz Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I got banned after I got ripped off by BALDIE on there over a rifle I'd paid for I asked for my money back as I had changed my mind never possessed the rifle and never had my money back, he's in with the mods told them a pack of lies that I threatened him an I get banned!!! If your not in with the click on there you get no where. The admin / mods are all jumped up nobodies on power trips especially BAZ and GARY C. *** it's a forum not real life they need to get a life an stop talking **** an thinking they know it all. Never had a problem on any other forum shooting or other related but all you ever hear about the bbs is bad press, perhaps mr Ramsbottom should think again about who he has running his site. All I say I what goes around comes around!!!! End of rant! Lol :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
