well maybe you should email the mods and let them see what he did... i dunno Ron would know more about this than me as he has been a mean Mod before... but if he was harassing you..let them know..maybe they will lift the ban and give him a time out

Me a mean Mod ?!?!?!?!

But yeah, where I mod, we do give time outs for pm's if they are brought to our attention and warrant it.
 
I dunno - forums are a private place, and the owners can do as they choose. I've heard of this type instance happening at other forums I visit, and probably most of you have too. While it's hard to ever know the truth about what is said on both sides, it's really not a smart idea to challenge either a sponsor or a owner/manufacturer on their own board as they can pretty much just pull the plug on you. Sometimes it's best to un-bunch the panties and move on with life.

This is a regional sponsor and has no other connection to the site. Ron knows who I'm talking about and even he has had some words with this person.

Once the ban is lifted I intend on write the owner of the site with my thoughts on what happened, for no other reason that self satisfaction

The guys is a spam factory. Pure and simple.

BUT

As JP said, it's a private enterprise and the owner can do/set rules as the deem fit.
 
FWIW, I endure self imposed week long time outs from some forums just to stay away from potential "misbehaviors" I might slip into. I try to stay above the occasional retarded exchanges because I've never seen one end amicably and you never win.

I do like the idea of documenting the other participants PM's and writing a well thought out/worded "report" to the admins of the board. They may only have his side of the story and they should be aware of his PM behavior as well, regional sponsor or not! Thier reaction to that would then determine whether I remain a member or say AMF's

Thanks

One of the points that I had and a few other members made to this guy, was as a sponsor, if your going to be combative with anyone that doesn't agree with you. How much business are you going to win from that? Who on that particular forum would inquire about detailing with an attitude like that?
