Banned on CPF - WTF?

:D

BLF, home for the wayward CPF'er! I was turned on to this forum, my new home after nearly being banned. I had my post deleted when I violated rule number 5. As others have posted links I think it's an Orwellian hypocrisy that I can't do the same. (I must be one of the less equal pigs). I was pissed the moderator said I violated rule number six despite the fact that I unintentionally violated rule number 5! I then broke rule number six and 8 I think by questioning the moderator's ethics and asking him to explain himself. Then I broke rule number 12. I guess I was on a role.

I'm probably gonna get myself banned for "ass-baiting" some guy that is looking to design and sell 26650 hosts. I suggested that he do tooling on the body like JetBeam does on its titanium bodies as it would tie the lines together rather nicely. The guy said in his response that he would not copy someone elses design. Moron had already copied the P60 drop in housing, Ronac's cooling bezel and a switch housing form SolarForce. So I told him he should be aware that some guy named Ronac had copied his bezel and was calling it cryos something and selling it as well some chinese company had copied his switch and were selling it too. Maybe they haven't banned me yet 'cause I told him in the post that I was giving him crap and to mellow out.

A number of people PM'd me and recommended I come here. I was immediately welcomed and made to feel at home. What a difference!

lol ya almost had me spittin coffey , thats a laugh

The beatings will continue until morale improves...

I hadn't thought about it till now but, I haven't been to CPF for quite a while - I don't miss it.

Klow, clearly the problem is that you have a sense of humor. I don't believe that is allowed on CPF. LOL



Nice ass-baiting. :bigsmile:

Lmao ass baiting

Does anyone else find it ironic that we in the flashlight community don't even use candle power as a measure of a light's output? LOL :D

In great honor to CPF we should all start measuring our lights in candlepower!

PS. I LOVE the fact that they throw in a solarforce ad when they ban you!! hahahaha!

Some of those Candlepower gurus don't even know what an Ultrafire orTrustfire is. They love to take pot shots at cheap lights, yet they seem to have never heard of them. Check this out

Funny as hell
Thanks guys, for making my day :smiley:

Private CheapThrills, enrolling

haha, interesting...

smart-ass, sounds like a beautiful words. i pround of you.guy!

Just a little update: I am now permabanned.

I went back to the thread where I got banned in the first place and called out the mod (yes, this time I actually did call someone out) for bringing up a thread (the automotive lighting thread) from over a year ago. I explained that it was obvious that I was joking and the mod has no sense of humor. I made the suggestion that they use their mod powers to make a "I'm just messing with you" font.

Not only did I get permabanned, they completely deleted the thread so that no one else could see the mods in action.

Good riddance I say. I never liked surefire anyways.

I can't access their servers. Is it going down again?

KLowD9x = My hero!

The thing is, the sentiment there is almost like you have to post like there's a hierarchical structure and the little peons must post as if we're bowing down to the King. That's the feeling I get most of the time. It's that hierarchical sense of fear - be ready to be snuffed with the slightest offense to royalty.

Awesome
