Genghis Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 It’s not for me to tell mods how to do their job, but it always goes down better when banning reasons are made public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Unless his last post(s)? have been removed I can't see anything that mods need to be so secretive about. I seem to remember someone on here from Australia getting booted for a petty reason. Come on the moderator that did the deed, do tell his friends what he got ousted for please.

amateur Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 The mods on this site, quite rightly, don't open their decisions to public scrutiny. As long as Nev hasn't done Paxman conversion, see yesterday's Times, I am sure that he will be welcomed back with open arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that it is an offence to have an air rifle with any of the following , a pellet in the barrel un cocked, cocked without a pellet or cocked with a pellet unless it is about to be fired so to keep one cocked ready for use in the Toilet is an offence.

As long as he doesn't have children in the house, surely he may have a few pellets in the magazine, uncocked? Then all he needs to do is operate the bolt to cock and shoot it.

Then all he needs to do is operate the bolt to cock and shoot it. I believe that a loaded magazine once fitted makes it a loaded gun in the same way as a pellet in the barrel un cocked is, also most casual shooters use break action guns for pest control.

I must say that I’m not certain, but doesn’t that apply to a public place or place where the public have access at the relevant time. I don’t suppose Paxman’s toilet applies on either count and particularly when he’s “in residence”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I'm not certain either, but think it only applies legally re "a public place or place where the public have access at the relevant time". Guidance says it should only be loaded and/or cocked when about to be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmm243 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was wondering where Neville had gone to and looking up his user name I found this thread. I have to add my bit about Neville, he (and others) came to my rescue when I was looking for squirrel tails for tying flies. This lead on to him also sending me some of his unwanted fly tying materials and buying a few rods off him. He always put in more than I had expected and had paid/asked for. A perfect gentleman in my mind and a great sporting life lived fully by all accounts. In many ways he reminded me of my father (86 and still going strong) and all i really ever managed to pass on to him for all his kindness was a few of jars of honey from my hives. He was so free with his advice to all that he will be sorely missed from the forum. I hope he will change his mind and come back soon.

We are still in touch because he is one of the nice guys and Freda is a star too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 We don't comment on these items. But there is some misinformation here so after sometime I'm posting to clarify in broad terms. There was no ban. A warning was issued for a rule breach as is standard. I think a user has to 'accept' the warning when they come back on the site. Having not been warned myself I am unfamiliar with it. But I think it's as straightforward as clicking a button. @ditchmanmay know more about the warning tickbox. But it'd be a shame if the member is misunderstanding things and self imposing exile inadvertently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
