NickDG 23 #1 January 3, 2011 In honor of Skyrider's banning for life in the BF . . . Which sucked, come on you guys, really? Let the brothers go! Not all of us are Bill Vons or Lou Dimonds, get a fucking sense of humor . . . http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/8219127/ NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Heatmiser 0 #2 January 3, 2011 I don't know what you think but I think that the mods are usually the fair ones. I like Skyrider, but he probably let his emotions get away with him. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience. Airtwardo Someone's going to be spanked! Hopefully, it will be me. Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites davjohns 1 #3 January 3, 2011 How the heck do you get banned for life from a forum like BF? Jimminy Cricket.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites NickDG 23 #4 January 3, 2011 Jimmie Cricket is right! Without Skyrider my "Winter Bike Project" thread is going to be stone dead . . . Come on mods. Banned for life means just like it is on a for real drop zone, only a month or so . .

Has he ever been banned for certain time frames (15,30,60 days...etc)? Or did someone have a hair up their ass or have it out for him for whatever reason just because? Can someone just be banned from a certain thread or does it have to be the whole sub-forum they were posting in? If he has never had a suspension from "The Bonfire" it would be more sensible to start there instead of going straight to permanent banning.

Let me say that I know nothing about the details of this. However, some time back I went to bat for someone who was banned for life from this entire site. The reply that I got from a mod made it very clear as to why ( no specific details ). IMO ( and it is ONLY that ), I think that any mod would provide one with plently of warning(s) before doing what they do. Just my thoughts . . . JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CSpenceFLY 1 #24 January 4, 2011 I'll start by saying that the mods here do a great job keeping this site under control. Having said that, some of them take themselves way too serious and as I have said before there should either be term limits or an on again off again system to give them a break from their duties. It seems to me some of them don't really enjoy what they are doing and it shows in the way they administer their duties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites plorensen 0 #25 January 4, 2011 Just curious how are the mods given their positions?
