What is funny is that I wasn't the mod that initially wrote that infraction for this zombie guy, yet I catch all the shit for it. LOL! Can't win for losing.

That's because you got that Super Evil reputation thing going on :p... seriously my apologies for you getting drug into this mess, let me try and put this to bed once and for all.

Z Zombie411 you have stated that without that W&C post you would not have received the warning that I gave you... you are incorrect in that assumption.

As I told you in our conversation, I've NEVER posted in W&C and that I only have 2 posts there and they were in threads where I stated that I was moving those threads to W&C, you receiving a warning from me has absolutely NOTHING to do with W&C.

I gave you that warning because as far as I was concerned you were trolling @whitty, who I feel is one of the most respected dealers on the forums and you were trolling in a giveaway thread of all places. The man was giving away a knife that easily sells for over $400... show some respect for that.

Yes sir.
I have apologized for a poor taste post in that thread, and I have stated that I meant no disrespect to the owner of that thread.
In fact I went on to congratulate the very lucky receipt of that give away.

No ill will or malice was EVER meant to anyone. It was a joke. Poor taste perhaps and ill placed but the meaning was in good faith. Humor.

Snowballs, and hills....
I'm sorry for all this, and that it happened at all.

That's an interesting observation.

Now what I've found in my experience is that every forum is different. Someone showing up here and saying "I've been on forums for years " to explain their posting habits is a real red flag. Every forum has different written and unwritten rules about how to conduct yourself. I've been on knife/gun/motorcycle forums round the world and the common thread is that there is no common thread.

It's like flying from Duluth to San Diego in February and jumping people in the street because they don't have snow tires and then claiming you were only trying help when you get a hickory shampoo.
 
Thanks, bhyde, for the link and the post before this one.
And thanks LastRodeo for the IP question. IPs can be helpful but they don't always single out a specific address. They may point to an area.

We actual have skilled troll hunters who tip us off based on writing style, followed up by IP. I love it when I catch one that way myself. It isn't necessary to call out trolls, if they are real bad guys, they will make that obvious. No sense turning misunderstandings into hurt feelings. (Just don't mess with RevDevil ...)

Of course, someone has to... No need for apologies, I thought this whole thing was weird in the "morrow" kinda way from the start.I post in W/C so others won't have to..Tough cross to bear, but it is mine...;)

Esav Benyamin Esav Benyamin I'd say you are the one not to be messed with, as you have my deepest respect.
 
I've never seen so many Mods reply in a single thread, holy crap!!!
This thread needs to be made a stickie and renamed: How not to look foolish and bring attention to yourself on BFC.

I saw a poster that said, " It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others."........How appropriate.
 
Hi! Just to share my thoughts and contribute with my own perspective on this, as a relatively new member here and as one using English as non-native language. Maybe it’s useful as an example about how things can be perceived/understood differently from different People in different places :).

I found Zombie411 post, in that specific context, offensive for the OP. I read this as if he was somehow questioning the correctness of the draw, insinuating the doubt that the winner might have been chosen not entirely in a random way, rather hand-picked for some reason. On the top of this, the post is clearly carrying a not so veiled political message and these, according to the rules we all have accepted by subscribing here, should be confined to the political arena sub-forum. Therefore I think the warning/infraction in this case was legit.

About RevDevil post in W&C, reported here, I have a bit of mixed feelings. As a premise: I don’t go often in W&C and I think I have never posted anything there, for different reasons. One is my knowledge of English. Many times, I don’t understand what’s written there without the continuous help of Urban Dictionary, etc. :D another one is, many times, I don’t understand the humor. I mean, I read (with difficulties) the things but I can’t grasp what is really funny about those :D. Then I would feel a bit uncomfortable and it’s not my “style” to go “insulting” randomly strangers on the web. But anyway, the overall feeling I get from W&C it’s the same of my swim team lockers room in high school or the barracks’ toilets when I was in the Army :). I mean, it was great fun, etc. but, maybe, growing older, my tastes about what’s funny has changed. The thing is, when we were going a bit too much over the top and e.g. started to measure the lengths of respective dicks and making fun of the bigger and the smaller :D:p, the Coach/Sergeant was normally putting this to an end in a rather sharp way, not taking his own out and joining the party. That’s why I have a bit of mixed feelings.

Anyway, incident closed and another good learning for me about netiquette here! Thanks :thumbsup:!

Words I will oblige.

The post above this one is perhaps the best explanation I have read.

Thank you Mr. Herlock for putting a perspective that I did not see (at the time) on this entire ordeal. The world is larger than my living room.

There was another... from Mr. Danke42.
100% correct. Every group is different. Boss hog on a Harley site is fresh fish on an aquarium site. (red flags aside).
Humbled!

James, number 1, I am sure I've seen at least two mods "reported" in the last 5 years or so. Number 2, I have had a few overwrought children PM me to chide me for violating BFC rules. In their opinions.
