View Full Version : I got banned
So I got a 12 hour ban last night from AR15.com:
Account: Ridge_Runner_5
Duration: 12 Hours
Reason:
------------------------
Ad stomping (I don''''t care if the guy calls AR mags bananas!) re: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=129&t=704845&page=1&#3081796

LOL.. nice
Getting banned from there is about as easy as breathing.
lol that is a good one. I have seen worse, but this ranks among the top
we have the same rules here
the admins and mods at arftown are jackasses.

I don't get it.
So, what's with the AR with the clip in it instead of a banana, er, magazine?

Banned for that, eh? That's a good one too. Would they do the same thing if you said something about a dangerous shooter carelessly keeping his booger picker on the bang lever?

Screw that site. Bunch of pompous jerks. They slapped me for BTT an ad. Think their rules say 72 hrs and I bumped mine at the 65 hr point. Froze it. I pulled it and sold it within a day on another fine site. I don't go there anymore. Much better sites out there, like this one which is local!

I agree about ARFCOM. I've heard far too much negative information about the site that, while I've browsed their site a few times, I have no desire to ever become a member there.

I honestly don’t know what’s going on over there anymore. People that should be banned, are not. Those that really don’t deserve it….are banned.
It's a who you know, how long you have been a member, if you are a member and all that crap.
ARFCOM has aspirations to be run like our country. They're well on their way!

I told those asshats to bite me years ago. Still have some friends who hang there but I see most of them elsewhere in the community.

LOL! nice pic! [LOL]
Well, I'm member there... Frankly, I'm getting some pretty nice deals from time to time from their EE. the only thing that pissing me off is the comments like - "if the scope mount cost less then $100 - it's POS" or just check out the GSG pics thread - $1000 scope on a $500 bucks rifle? WTF? well, again, maybe it's just me...
Yeah. It can be goofy at times. I built most of my carbine from the EE there...not digging the new EE, though.
the frikin new ee is killin me....
P.S. looks like you weren't alone who got banned, maybe the mod was in a bad mood or smthng. [Coffee]

GlockTalk got me today for outting a liar on their EE. Oh well.
Wow, a few more people got banned for ad stomping. That mod doesn't like people posts in his forum.

Trying to put it together here. So, someone else posted an ad and referred to 'banana clips', you posted the photo as a fun poke, and you got banned. Correct?
Humor is our savior. To me, if I got it right, you did a gentle poke with some educational potential. I totally understand wanting to run a site with some fairly strict gentlemanly conduct rules, but that's a bit over the top.
I got suspended from a site a while back too, but unfortunately am not sure why. The webmeister didn't respond to my request for what I did. I suspect I got plowed on martinis, got online and was an ass to someone. The point is, I'm sure the site was totally justified in suspending my account--just a little irksome that they won't even tell me what the infraction was after a long run of good behavior. But, they don't have to, it's their site.
I refrain from correcting folks on the 'clip' 'magazine' thing tho...there are so many more important points of firearms that most folks need to get first. Such as finger, muzzle, loaded, etc.

heh another site with great folks, shitty owner.
Ok, I think we all get the point. This thread has served its purpose.
