Remembering members we lost this year

[BULLBLASTER]

Good new rule Dale!  I totally get why BH got banned but there are a few who went out of their way to push his and others buttons.  I think it's still a fairly reoccurring cut and past still

and also  to what Dave month posted

Regarding biggerhammer:
I bought good items from hammer, I have asked hammer questions and was given good information that helped, and I miss reading hammer's informative posts. I didn't want to see hammer perma banned but he repeatedly violated the rules even after being warned of the consequences. Only one person is responsible for hammer getting banned, that person was hammer himself. We've allowed members who had been perma banned back on the forum and it has worked out, hammer is welcome to give it another shot if he wishes, it's up to him?

Regarding sharkbait:
Sharkbait was warned, he broke rules anyway so he was banned. His ban will expire and he is welcome back, but if he returns and breaks the rules again the next ban will be longer, that's how the rules work. He himself is in complete control of his presence on this forum.

Regarding Instigators:
This has been discussed at length by the moderator team. I have decided that anyone who clearly "in the opinion of the moderator team" purposefully makes instigating comments that directly result in the banning of another member, the instigator will also be banned. This is a new rule so we won't go back in time and hand out bans, that wouldn't be fair, but from this day forward this rule will be enforced!

off with the moderator hat...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

well with  this new rule some on here wont be able to post at all

As far as the OP and the reasons for the start of this thread, I highly doubt it's actually a thread to fondly remember those who got themselves banned.  It is clearly an attempt to have folks self publicize an argument to get his buddies back on the forum.  Just title the post what it is.

If you carefully read all of my posts the real motive is in there; don't try to over think it. Sometimes the funniest jokes are the ones that nobody gets. This is probly why I don't have more friends.

Jingles was one I miss he either got a permanent ban or voluntarily, but he took no crap.

Dang! I didn't know sharkbait was gone now too!

Sharkbait and hammer were some of the posters I looked forward to reading their posts...

I was banned for eight weeks this year for being not so sensitive to one of the more ultra sensitive members in this forum.  I will say the suspension has forever changed my life.

I would have thought it was wiser for higunner to let this matter be forgotten, why keep airing dirty laundry? Since higunner chooses to bring this back up as if he was somehow unfairly treated, or that there was over reaction to his actions, I would remind him that the buyer whom he made the sale of damaged goods to may not feel the same way, so I will set the record straight! These quotes are direct from his ban notes:

REASON:
Made a bad sale to ******, did not disclose amount of damage to scope, would not make good on the deal, then later made irritating comments to ******

NOTES:
This first ban is for 60 days due to the severity of the issue. Another bad sale and failure to make right will result in a lifetime ban.

This was one of the issues that prompted the implementation of the TRADE COUNT ratings system "SMF Trader System"!

I'm personally feel that the apparent self imposed absence of Platt is a bigger loss than the others that have been banned. 
Where is Platt these days???
