How to Get Permanently Banned from This Forum

[rijndael]

You can't use PP for firearm sales or PP is not allowed for anything that is shooting related.

ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories

Its been said over and over and over, I get you may not know if your a new member and are getting the feel of things. Arguing the point when the forum clearly has stated it’s position on the matter isn’t the brightest move if you intend be here long.

Regarding the newly banned member, I would like to quote or closely paraphrase the great John Wayne “you can’t fix stupid”

I just don't get it. How could anyone in today's world think that they could determine their own level of risk?. We have rules and we must abide by them no matter what we think of them or how they might affect us. What is this? Anarchy? There can be no place for rule breakers in this world.

What? Why couldn't I determine my own level of risk? When it comes to my risk, I don't put that in anyone else's hands... it's my risk

I can respect and follow rules (which I do), but my risks are mine.

If it puts the site at risk, I'm all for respecting and following the site's rules.

Boss is my understanding its not just gun sales but anything gun related paypal policy?

Forum Boss: PayPal policy at link below. Specific ban covers guns and ammo.

So No firearms, no actions, no ammunition. There is some other generic language that arguably might apply to powder and primers as ammunition components. The prohibition applies to: "(j) ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories[.]"

Scopes, stocks (but not AR lowers), and reloading equipment seems to be OK.

There have been reported issues with bullet sales because bullets may be seen by someone (incorrectly) as another word for ammunition.

As you can see, I am not the smartest grape in the fruit bowl.

I get it, no PP for "firearm" sales.

How about I PP John fir his muzzle break? Is this violating the rules?

I'm going to say one reason might be that if "IF YOUR RISK" turns bad, guess who is going to hear about it?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong... just saying it's MY risk. just like any other post, readers can ignore and move on .. no need to get involved.... I don't take risks and then whine about them. Some might and they're easy enough to ignore.

I'm not trying to be controversial or adversarial ... just mindful about making my own decisions rather than having others make them for me.

In regard to this site, I am respectful of their rules.

Don’t know the reason but my cousin created an account on here and got blocked instantly for spam ?

Forum Boss: I personally background check every new signup. There is a database which lists email addresses, account names, and IP addresses which have been flagged as used by scammers or spammers. In the case of your cousin I suspect he was connecting with a disfavored IP or not listing a verifiable name and city.

I spend over 500 hours a year on background checks and we pay for access to multiple databases. 5-10% of all registrations are rejected for security reasons.

Hmmm ok. I don’t know about him or his ip addresses. But thanks for all you do on here for us

 

[Sandstorm]

I say well done Boss. .. It is what it is.

 

[Loudenboomer]

Kinda reminds me of a story. Some 20 something kids asked my game warden friend if they could hunt the game warden's personal land. My friend thanked them for asking but said NO as he was going to be hunting his property the following weekend. The kids hunted is land anyway. You guessed it and was caught by my friend the game warden. He said he wrote tickets until he was out of paper.
Similar deal No means No.

Good job boss!

I thought about it in the days when PayPal first came out and decided that I would not (and I do not) use electronic pay services. If someone requires an electronic service, I don't buy what they are serving. I have used an escrow service and it was a very nice experience - both the buyer and myself were protected.

Ditto here on using PayPal. They are anti-gun and I choose not to support them. However it is their business whether they allow guns and ammo purchases and they don't. So I abide by their rules by simply NOT USING THEM. I joined this forum a few years ago, first as a silver then gold supporter. I do that to support a fine internet venue of shooters and firearms owners, and to establish a trading reputation that I hope is bullet proof.
Anyone using this forum and selling on it should be a supporter of one form or another.

You are being invited into the Forum Bosses living room. Great description and 100% correct and we have to honor the privilege.

I wish we could discuss politics. There are some darn smart guys here, but those threads go sideways fast!

 

[NorCalMikie]

First off, F&F gets used for someone you don't even know?? They are NOT your friends OR part of your family. So you try using that to get by paying the fees? YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!!! I get it, you screw somebody before they screw you. Just like politicians.
Again, you GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVE!!

500 hours a year, just stop and think about that everybody, what could you do with an extra 500 hours each year?

While I don't always agree with what the forum boss does with some of my posts, ... the bottom line is and always will be that the rules of this forum are simply that, you will play by the rules set forth here or you just won't be here any longer. (and yes there have been a few times I have logged in and wondered if I was still allowed to be a member here). So far so good, thanks boss.

I wouldn’t be surprised if as much, if not more time, is spent behind the scenes by Forum Boss, policing problems and PM’s concerning the classifieds, as political threads and comments.

One good reason to help him out by following his rules.

Agree.

Also, one wonders about the time and effort of some folks to circumvent, cheat, bend or otherwise bastardize the rules of businesses, which are clear in the PayPal rules and reiterated here by the forum boss. You just gotta wonder about some people!!

Idiots what did they think was gonna happen ?

 

[L.Sherm]

To me there seemed to be alot less issues before all this electronic stuff came around, for me anyway or am I just an anomaly?
