Snowman banned!

And there was much rejoicing!

So I have to phone him at home to get the 'Reloader Report'?

Todd and Wayne have been patient. Very patient. Kudo's to you both.

Agree that posting distributor cost on parts is not cool. It's a free market, shop where you want. Posting up costs for all the world does nothing but encourage the propogation of wal-mart type retailers and we do NOT need more of that. Our choices are slowly dwindling to nothing and once there is but one king retailer we will have no choice at all (not just price but also selection!!!). Big picture was missing for snowman.

Also believe some of you guys are completely off your rockers to post up personal information you've dug up on the guy. That stuff should be off limits no matter what.

As much as Snowflake asked for it with his long running RE bs (thus triggering the responses with personal info, address, etc.) I'm inclined to agree.

I was frankly astonished...this website is an adjunct to your business, an important part of your successful business.
It was almost as if he wanted to be banned:(

He made so many claims about his house's location and valuation, that its location and valuation became a fair topic.

Other than that, I don't think any personal info was posted.

Ok, stupid question...and I am sure the answer is somewhere...

So, if you are banned how does that stop a person? Couldn't they just create a new account with a new name and start anew? If you block IP's then they could easily get around that....so I don't understand this.

I don't know if you are familiar with Alina, but she (he) did just that. I think she (he) got banned about a dozen times over 18 months. By the end, she (he) was getting banned after 1 or 2 posts. Every troll has their pattern (what they get off on), the pattern becomes recognizable and they stop getting very far.

I don't know snowman, and I don't like most of his posts.... but this is bullsnit, Wayne.

The forum supports your business, and Jack should never have posted a competitors invoice. Fine, ban him. I agree that you are justified.

Now go back and ban every one of the people who responded to the thread with a personal attack - which allegedly is also against your rules.

Ban those who mock him for not living in an expensive enough home. What the hell does that have to do with anything, other than being a personal attack???

And ban those who posted his home phone number; or do you now allow your forum to be a means of encouraging hate calls to people?


Oh... and kudos to you for calling him out with IMC. Revenge is an excellent way of showing that you are the better man.

That's why I only posted the shot I did.

No other info although I had it all.

And honestly he is the one that posted enough personal identifying info to allow himself to be easily found.

He might as well have posted his name address and phone number himself.

I disagree. Snowman wasn't banned for any one thing, it's cumulative. The personal stuff might have been wrong, but it's one off. Maybe it deserves a warning, no one gets banned for a one-off error in judgment.

Snowboy just kept pushing, he got what he deserved.

...

I also found some stuff, probably the same stuff you did, that shows Jack was not all he claimed.

I just left it alone.

Jack did it to himself and got what he deserved, IMO.

Best,

Go back and reread Cashflyers post, he agrees with the banning. Its the poor behavior of the other members and the personal attacks, and disclosing personal information, following his idiotic post that warrants action and I agree.

I agree, my point was that those people should be warned, not banned.

There's one more troll that would have to get sent to the island before that happens.

Kach,
We may disagree on some things from time to time, this is not one of those times. That 3rd rail will sting, expecially if your standing in a bucket of water.

Wayne? ;)

Hmmm, should we wait for the explosion that will eventually occur and the mushroom cloud coming up from his neighbourhood?

Guess I am not getting that reloading press after all now... :(

Empty out your desk.
