Apollogies to anyone from "my 5 minute rant post..."

[wickyman5000]

Im sorry, I just found it irritating that you think I was trashing on his car, I wasn't, in fact i was just voicing an oppinion. I'm also sorry that I said any of the nasty things I said... I agree, they were wrong and harsh, and I was appropriately banned for it. Thank you for banning me, it made me think... I thought long and hard about what I said. I may not be talking my way out, but I decided I would be the "big man" and appologize. But what that guy said about which one of the three of use should have died, was really harsh! Just all because I voiced an oppinion about hondas, and such. Did that guy become banned? I didnt even get a warning like most sites would have givin... I wasn't even givin an email telling me that I was banned, or reason. That also was harsh. I really only was on here to get help with my fan grills, and everything got out of control.

To eire, I appologize about the car incident, I didn't mean to cut you down for it, I too sort of have a liking for the 3000gt, but my love is that of European cars. The Skyline is also another very well built car, but I would rather have a right side drive, as they are much more rare! I wasn't out to ruin your thread, I was trying to voice my oppinions on "japanese engineering" and how they use materials which are much weaker because of the past stress placed on the metal before it was melted down and re-made. But none the less Igive you my most humble appologies.

To the gameman and orangepeel, I'm most sorry to you, for being an arrogant, and downright ignorant person. I'm not trying to ruin the reputation of your site, I just got out of control, and I appologize for that. I didn't need to say anything, and Iwasn't going to, but i did, and it was harsh judgment on my part. Again i hope you don't ban me for this "re-registering under another name, if you do, i don't blame you, but please try to consider letting me stay, i think i could help with any questions that "newbies" have, i have been working with computers for about 4-5 years, so i know a thing or two about them. Please consider accepting my appologies, and my promise to never do that again! I really enjoy this site, as people "really" want to help.

To everyone else... I'm very sorry to you if you found my posts to be offensive and rude, I really was arrogant and ignorant! please accept my appologies. Thank you very much for your time.

ok, i was re-reading the strict ban policies, and i found this...

"To help keep the Off Topic area open I’ve added a new category of registered people and a very strict banning policy. This applies to an inappropriate behaviour such as; bashing, threats, harassment, defamation, swearing, porn, childish fighting, etc."

this is true... But other than that small outspurt, where evelse did i fight with anyone? i wasnt int my eyes fighting with anyone throughout the thread, just voicing an oppinion...

"All new registrants will start out with access to every area in the forum (except for the Administrator and Moderator areas). If they continually cause trouble in the OT (Off Topic) and BH (Better Half) areas then their access will be taken away from those areas."

why wasnt my right taken away instead of me being banned?

"They will still have access to the rest of the forum; however, if they cause trouble again in another area they will be restricted/banned. Also, if certain members who were asked to permanently stay out of the forum that were already banned come back and they are identified under a new account(s), their account(s) will be banned."

please give me another chance...

"Again, this will be enforced very quickly once a member goes outside the forum rules."

i agree to that... but why wasnt i warned, and just banned? isnt that going back on your previous statments? I'm not trying to cause problems, just curious i wasnt givin the right to be warned? and as for the causing of trouble more than once, i really wasnt trying to... and i should think better before i reply to any post...

My opinion.

I just read the thread where the unpleasent-ness happened. And you lost your temper, there is no doubt. But on the other side, you lost a loved one, and I can see why you lost it there. But your somewhat childish behavior was so much out of line, that you just wasnt restricted. I understand that as well. I, myself swear from time to time, but that is one word only.

I have to say. You you where totally undtouched by this, you wouldnt have apologized. Even though you re-registered, and did it. You still did. Thats something.

But only GameMan decides... And Eire for that mather.

[wickyman5000]

thanks, i appreciate the kind words. i really wasnt trying to ruffle anyones feathers... i was just trying to get my nose in where i should have left it out... lol i am really really sorry!

[And|]

I have to say. You you where totally undtouched by this

"You you where" nah... "IF you where" was the right combination.

WickyMan, I dont think it helps you to be that humble. I expressed my opinion as a 3rd party. You just have to wait and see.

[wickyman5000]

i know, but still. i was pretty arguative... but that was the only post though... i was actually trying to gain help in the offtopic forums... which is a bummer if i get banned, as i wont get my help which means i wont start my business and i will fail in life... which to me sucks, but if i get banned its my own fault huh?

[t00lb0x]

You were totally out of line and Rodney took the actions he saw fit. Its his website, its privatly funded and he can do whatever he wishes with it as long as it abides by Canadien law (I assume the server is in Canada.)

He can moderate anything he wishes, he could ban you for any reason. Its not logical for him to do so but he did what he saw fit.

[egarrard]

Everybody gets excited and screws up from time to time. We're a pretty forgiving bunch here. Just behave yourself and things should be fine. It's Rodney's forums though, and his wishes are the law. He and Sherry are the ones you need to apologize to... :)

[ChKFlores]

wickyman, I've seen too much strife in these forums to not know what is going on. You're not the first nor will you be the last. So keep in mind to watch yourself around here.

As for Nick and especially Rod, I would send the apology off the forums. Use the PM system now that it's back on. However, it's good that you're being the better person. :thumb :Nice

[wickyman5000]

i already have, but who is nick? im confused... i sent a couple of emails to rodney appologizing for my behavior, and i also PMed him. so hopfully he wont ban me a second time... i am very appologetic to both him, and sherry. I didnt mean in any way to disgrace their site... I lost my temper, and i promise them i wont do it again... it was a slip in my judgments... again i am sorry rodney, sherry, and nick.

Just look at the end of eire1274's posts and you will know who he is.

[eire1274]

Ain't my board. It's Rod's. And if I did something bad enough that Rodney felt the need to ban me, you can sure as **** bet that I wouldn't be bold enough or disrespectful enough to register another account and go on posting.

That is all I am saying on this matter. There will be no further discussion. I'm peeved that even after I announced that I was requesting the thread be closed, it still got trashed.

either way, im still sorry, i was just in a pissy mood about everything... I agree with you that the 3000gt is a nice car, and fast... which can be dangerous, but your choice. i would rather be in one of those in a roll over than a ford... lol just my oppinion creaping out. anyhow... im sorry if i hurt your feelings. I appologize on that, but after that the guy who said everything else was really rude to not only me, but your post. it was very disrespectful, but i was also in the wrong for what i said. and i agree that i am direspectful for wanting to right a wrong... or am i? at least im trying to right the wrong... i hope you can accept my deepest appologies nick...

[ch0g0nda]

I'm going to have to apologise for that rather mortal statement I made to you wicky. It was cruel and just plain insensitive.

I'm sorry.

thanks, i appreciate that, and i too appologize to you. It takes a big man to start a fight, but it takes a bigger man to appologize. thank you. i accept your appologies. and i would like to become friends with everyone whom i argued with... i just got off to a rocky start without trying... i guess im a little too irritable! lol sorry again ch0g0nda.

It's the last few weeks of school for me and all the tests mixed in with the last minute homework has got me pretty fed up.

Cheers!

[wickyman5000]

lol good times. i dreaded the day i would graduate... i miss all of my friends, i dont have contact wit them as i didnt wish to join them in the pursuit of college. I dont much like school, but i miss it... its not like it was hard, just a lot of bs work!

[3dGameMan]

This is an example of a user who 'loses it' and then wonders why he/she got banned! We DO NOT ban people for nothing. Here is the reason he was banned:
"Originally Posted by wickyman
you are ****ing *******! my friend was only doing 40 on a corner that was limited for 50, he slid into a tree, if i can i will find a picture of the car! you need to shut the **** up. and as for my accident, it wasnt stupid driving, i was being safe, i just forgot to turn the nitrous off... and i was sideswipped when my car slid out into an intersection! you need to shut the **** up because you dont know! sorry for the language everyone, this guy is pissing me off... i just told you my story, not to get jumped for it! you are a ****ing fag! dont say anything about my friends or loved ones... you will get your *******, you will one day when you least expect that, i promise you! wrath be taken on your soul *****!"

Let's be VERY clear about something. I will ban anyone who posts anything like the above or anything we feel is inappropriate content for this forum. Remember this is a place for ALL AGES.

As for you registering again... Well, so everyone knows what happens when I ban someone. First, I ban their account name and that means no further access through that account. Second, I ban their email address and lastly their IP. That's about all I can do. If a banned user wants to change their name, email and IP then they can. So banning people is not as effective as some might think. If the person who was banned is extremely persistent they will get back in.

In your case, since you did publicly apologize I will not ban this account UNLESS you get out of hand again! Please be aware that your other account will stay banned.

Now, please move on and get away from this topic...
