    Any reason why Pathfinder was banned? The guy was getting a lot of flack for bigging up the SAS and the like. Just wondering what happened that got him the boot!

    hahaha "I'm sure it said take a left..."

    ah I just spotted it on his name there? "location-banned" The guy has been really helpful to me, kinda 'meh' that he's not around now. If you can't say then no worries and sorry for asking. Maybe only a temp ban?

    He was banned from military, not the site. He wrote banned in his profile.

    ooohhhh censorship on historical military tactics, be them paramilitary/terrorist/counter terrorist/coalition etc, what he said in the post you linked to is simply what happened and what has now been documented. But yeah, people get offended and other people get banned! meh cheers anyway

    I'm sure if they feel they were wronged they'll make their way here or to the help desk.

    Why not just PM him rather than start a thread about his ban?

    I always thinks its weird when one member statrts a thread asking about anothers ban.

    well I thought he was banned from the site....surely that's reason enough to ask mods, the inability to ask the person! :confused:

    It'd also make more sense to ask the mods directly then, rather than waiting for them to chance upon a Feedback thread. ie. You could have sent Hagar a PM.
    Just sayin'...for future reference...

    But I didn't know hagar banned him, I was only linked to the reason/thread for the ban upon starting this thread. There really didn't seem to be any other way for me to find out.

    Ok here's the deal.

    The guy was banned for 1 week previously for being disruptive. He re-regged to start posting again without asking for the ban to be lifted. His re-reg account was as troublesome as his first. Technically he was still banned and could have been perm banned from the forum or even site banned for the re-reg. But I'm a nice guy so I let it slide, I allowed him some slack on the re-reg because he did it after the week ban was up. Following an exchange of PMs he agreed not to act the maggot or use the second account again. Since then he has caused more grief. I infracted him and gave him a one week ban. His reaction via PM was to call me a coward and wanker. Not at all nice. I try to be polite and fair in all my dealings with posters as a mod. I don't think I deserve personal abuse.

    He is now perm banned from the forum. I don't like doing that but there are many more people using the forum who I have to consider. As Mr. Spock said "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one".

    Hi Hagar! Yeah ok, opinions are one thing, name calling is another,especially when your trying to help him out. Your ban is completely justified although you don't need me to tell you that!

    Hi Hagar!

    Quote the above loudly and at pace.

    I feel like Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove.

    While we're on bannings...why was the mod scojones banned? He used to be the mod of Afterhours. Did he have a breakdown and go postal or something?

    while pathfinder was a bit off topic and tended to get in arguements, i personally found his threads and the info he put up very interesting even if I personally didnt agree with him. He also helped me personally alot with by putting up links to a marine fitness training schedule, and other bits of info regarding long marches etc. Its a pity really
