I tried to go on USA slingshot forum and found out I was banned, Why because of "insensitive remark concerning spam"

????

Ok yesterday I went on and as usually had to wade through a board that was plastered with spam (pretty much a everyday thing) I reported one of the posts said something like " cann't you do something about this crap I feel like cancelling my membership every time I see this kind of thing" and when I saw that the idiot who posted it was still on line I PM'd him and said " This is a slingshot forum, keep your moronic spam to yourself" now while I realize I could have been more PC about it, none of it was said on a open forum and none of it was abusive...WTF??? does that deserve a perminate ban?? When I moderated a weapons forum I would have said worse to a spammer and on open forum!!!

Sorry Rant over

I understand pal, I wouldn't waste my time; I said to a friend of mine the other day "if you aren't going to pay attention to what you say, why should I?" I would just avoid them, as there's better places to be. Spam is just an advertising service for people who have nothing worth selling.

Yeah, they banned me over there too. I wouldn't worry about it. We have a more active community over here anyway.

That seems quite odd!!!

I never post over there anymore. This site is much better.

In the email I just recieved it seems he took exception to my asking "can't you do something about this crap" his comments were, that obviously I don't know how the internet works and that maybe they should make me a admin so I could spend 10 or 15 minutes a day checking the forum and deleting spam...funny when I was a lowly mod on a couple of forums I spent more than 15 min a day on the forum..by a couple of hours...if he only can spare 15 min a day maybe he should make some one else a admin.

Not worried, just ticked of,f when I get banned from a forum I like it to be for something splashy, sort of ruins my record.

yah, on the classifieds in the USA slingshot forum there are all of these spam ads about pills? its kinda anoying

 

[harpersgrace]

USA I guess he must have cleaned a few up after he banned me, at one point yesterday I counted 24 threads started by a spammer who was still logged in and posting when I reported it.

 

[USASlingshot]

yah, i went on a few min ago. its all cleaned up but hopefuly the spammer got banned also. (u didnt deserve it)

 

[Jtslingshoter]

I never go on that forum anyway in my opinion that forum is nothing compared to this one.

For my experience, SF is more comfortable to me and good set of friendly & professional members.
