Membership

[John Sabato]

There was a membership registration a couple of months ago, I do not recall the user name, but the applicant chose a rather vulgur/suggestive user name. That simply isn't tolerated here. When it was requested that they change their user name to something less offensive, they became abusive and belligerent... and John D. stepped in and banned them. That may be the situation which started this thread... we make no excuses for enforcing the rules. This forum enjoys a world-wide reputation for being the best gun discussion forum on the internet for just that reason.

If this was not the situation being discussed, then we would have to know more details to determine exactly what happened. What was the screen name that was used? Did they refuse to register using their full real name (I have banned about 5 or 6 people in the last 15 years for not complying with registration requirements when asked.)

In the whole history of this forum, I think only about 40 persons were banned and all for good reason, and out of the more than 12,000 registrants, that amounts to only a miniscule percentage.
