Banned again?

The annoying thing is that what the moderator wrote and I've posted above was in a public forum and not just to me so he has posted something much ruder than anything he is accusing me of doing. That is the crudest SOB on the whole site. It's very irritating to have a guy like that in charge.

Truly sad. I hate it when mods make a place that should be awesome unbearable.

Though people frequently get me wrong, few people in my life have ever misrepresented me so badly that I seriously thought about suing them for defamation of character or slander, or at least getting a lawyer to write a letter. DM51 has been one of them. Then I realized he/she/it was in another country.

IIRC, you are a valuable contributor here. Vote with your feet (fingers, in this case), man. I haven't been there in ages.

They so do not deserve to be king of the hill. If it had to be CPF or no interesting flashlight forum, it would have to be no interesting flashlight forum for me. Happily, that's not the case. And, really, advanced flashlighting isn't all that important.

"Your usual preference is to portray yourself as a wise and knowledgeable older member, but on this showing, you are clearly not up to it. Your sneering and contemptuous personal attack on another member means the rest of us will now be able to enjoy a whole week free of further lofty pontification from you."

It's amazing how people with personality disorders end up perfectly describing themselves when they attack/complain about others. The only difference is they're often in charge. DM51 is EVERYTHING he/she/it claims to hate.

i think we need a score board !!

how many times you have been banned from CPF , myself only once , i will post some unholy shit tonight : ) so i can catch up.

the best part,

rest of us will now be able to enjoy a whole week free of further lofty pontification from you

laff*


I've been banned once... permanent :D

I've been banned twice. The last time DM51 made a remark in the Budget sub-forum disparaging budget lights and then when people got off topic he deleted a bunch of posts but left his post that caused everyone to go off topic. I simply posted "you forgot one".

In that case I knew it would get a reaction. I though maybe since I didn't post any more than that he might get the point without banning me. I was wrong. At least I did something in that case knowing that I could get banned since banning seems to be the option of first resort with that bunch.

This time I was initially jumped on by someone else and I didn't let it go. However the other person and I are fine I'm sure at this point (judging by the responses in our posts) so there is no problem. I wasn't trolling and was interested in that light.

Zenbaas and BRJones-well put.

banned 1 time for stating too obvious in my signature that i like BLF :d

I know what you mean, I got to that point on a local board once but the person had a change of heart and apologized to me in front of my friends (unasked) in a parking lot and I let it go.

The way to hit CPF would be to let all the companies buying banner ads on CPF know that we (and organized group) would not be buying their flashlights anymore unless they either disassociated themselves with CPF or CPF began to show some moderation with their moderation powers.

It's too much effort and won't be done but that's probably the best way to deal with CPF. Reason isn't an option with them.

I hardly even go there anymore. Not my type of runned forums. I much rather be here and among a forum that is runned with dignity and respect and you are actually cared about.

F%^$ sake!

Now you know where to take your crazy low lumen ideas! You could start your own board that is somehow represented by something that has the power of one candle! Oh, wait, that's been done.

Seriously, I have no idea what they're coming to over there. They're gonna chase away anyone with a brain, and all that'll be left is the tumbleweeds and mods.

From a commercial point of view that could be very 'smart' :). Gold plated klarus, titanium bling bling...

Occupy CPF

Herr Himmler and Der Fuhrer will not approve of that.

They approve of Syrian Government methods of dealing with dissent.

Yikes, that is one scary response. It's one thing to get banned based on the mods opinion, it quite another thing when he lambasts you like that in a public forum. It's just bad form, but you can't argue with them, that's how it is there.

My obligatory comment.
ASS BAITER wahoooo.
This needs to be a title at BLF for those of us that have been banned from CPF.

you must be p%$#@! off at the condescending idiot, especially since he has the position of authority. try not to let it bug you, instead be proud that you got under the skin of a bunch of jerks. i really find it hard to stomach a whole lot of the dismissive, self righteous bs that i read on that forum, which is why i rarely go there anymore at all, and why i really like it here. a good amount of people here are really just online "buddies" if you will, chatting about a common interest, sharing stuff they know and learn, and not trying to be bullies. pretty cool, especially given that other option. if i were in your shoes, i know this is childish, but i would wait for my ban to be lifted, and then say something that would make it permanent.

I've stopped going there at all. I spent many hours a day reading all of it a few years ago - but once they started shoving every thread on lights I was interested in into Jayki's thread which made it impossible to find anything in there as it was so massive, I gave up. I have had several logins there - I can not now be bothered creating a new one as it isn't worth the irritation that the mods there hand out.

Sociopaths make very, very poor moderators. Empath is a classic - the guy has less empathy than your average fencepost. And a comparable IQ. And don't get me started on DungMasticator51!

Then Jayki and Mr. Admin came along and made it all better. Sadly, Jayki's site now seems to be offline a lot.

And Mr. Admin has done a wonderful job here. For which I am hugely grateful.

I cannot say this often enough. Thank you Mr. Admin. You are doing a great job!

I´ve had : "If you can read this, you are in a wrong forum."

in my sig for a while. Waiting to get banned by some idiot to get the final excuse to give up reading at all that place.

Here! Here! raises glass
