Thanks for adding me, also have a question about a problem here

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself as this is my first post here but also ask a question about activity on this forum. My name is Micheal, I live in central Georgia. I've been a long time shooting enthusiast and have only recently gotten into the airgun world. I've been looking through here before applying to be a member here and have made two observations. One, I had no idea airgun sports had come so far. I usually shoot long distance competitions or for fun but am amazed at this branch of the shooting sports. Second is how helpful and informative the people here seem to be, it looks like there is a ton of information to be shared and I look forward to learning more. I have a question though.

A longtime friend who introduced me to this place and is also a shooter of many years, has been banned from here and can't figure out why. He apparently has been a member for more than a year if I recall correctly but had not logged on for nearly a month. The only reason given was shown when he tried to log in and said IMPORT:banned:csv and nothing more. That is, I believe, the notice exactly as it was given. He's a pretty good person and so far as he knows has done nothing to offend anyone here, hasn't cussed at anyone, tried to do anything illegal or cheat anyone. He has messaged through the contact link to find out what he may have done three or four times in the last few weeks but has not received the courtesy of any kind of response so I decided to ask what might be going on? He wants to stress that if he's done something wrong it was inadvertent and he will glad to make up for it. I've known him for many years and know that he isn't the sort to go around causing trouble. As for myself, I'd like to know also to avoid making a mistake that gets me banned. So would someone, a moderator or administrator, please let me know what happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

Mike
 
Yeah, Michael (the main dude), isn't very forthcoming to problems, questions, or requests. At least in my case.
I've asked questions, no answer, he put some sort of note in my inbox, but it was a pretty alien, and cryptic, no real English words. I sent an question back, to please clarify his comment...no answer. I asked him to remove a thread that "I" started, of a problem that had been resolved. Wasn't very many posts, initially. Again, no comment !
I read that others have had similar problems. Sorry to say, you may not get any ral answer from him, but good luck.

I don't understand this hiding. I am a moderator of the forum in an old car web site. It ISN'T difficult...I answer all questions, easy or difficult !

Hi Mike,

If you have a minor question or request please use the Report button and our Moderators will take care of you. If it's something that needs to be addressed by an Admin (myself) you can DM me, but as you can see... I get a LOT of messages!

Yes M3 that's him, I didn't want to just start throwing names out without talking to someone specific, I thought perhaps the reference to the message he received might be enough. To my knowledge he has only the one account but may have tried to set up another to get past this and be able to communicate with someone. I did apply for my account on his computer when I was there but generally use only the one I'm on now. I seriously doubt he would try and apply for multiple accounts for some reason unless he was trying to get to the bottom of this. I understand you get many messages and it takes time to get through it all but I think he is getting frustrated at no answer and doing whatever he can think of. He's not much of a computer guy. You can either email him directly or I can get in touch with him. If you have his account information you'll have his email. If there are somehow multiple accounts I'd guess the first one is his, possibly someone else tried to do something, no idea really.
