I guess that the offender really pissed this guy off to get banned. After all, it's his site and he can do whatever he wants with it, if he deemed the guy to be a thundercunt, he did the right thing imo. It's better to have fewer people who can have a good time together rather than accepting even the worst of the worst for the sake of profit.

Moderators Tackle Posted July 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2020 My interpretation is that the banned guy was spouting his mouth off on FB, not uncommon I know, but if what he was saying was untrue/incorrect, & he persistently pushed his point, which is seditious & potentially harmful to his business, then I make Andy right for the ban, & good on him for doing it publicly. 40 minutes ago, Adolf Hamster said: so he was banned for being annoying even though he hadn't broken any rules? tricky one, breaking rules sure but if we started handing out punishments for merely being annoying there wouldn't be many survivors..... 17 minutes ago, Skara said: I guess that the offender really pissed this guy off to get banned.

There’s the tricky area of liability too. If the spoutings were libellous, the site owner or admin can be held as the publisher and jointly sued with the spouter. Also, who wants to tune into something they’ve made and love to have it wrecked by someone they hate? Rules are rules but if you run a pub and someone really gets on your tits, you just tell them to fuck away off and darken someone else’s urinals.

From what I gathered from it there was a long standing issue with the guy that got banned just being a loud mouth and persistently annoying the owner (Andy) and staff. When the banning came about the player then tried to make it that Andy didn't like speedsofters or their choice of kit (which in the video Andy makes abundantly clear that isn't the issue). I think there have been a few instances of the player spouting off on the internet and Andy had just finally had enough. To my understanding any site can refuse entry for whatever reason they like, doesn't mean people have to like it or understand it. Goes back to mustang being banned from sites he hasn't played or has only played once, the way you present yourself especially in a public forum (facebook, youtube and the like) can have adverse effects and people need to start realizing that.

The first rule of airsoft is "don't be a dick, just play the game". If you want to argue the toss on whether you're being a dick, you're probably being a dick.

Yeah couldn't stop laughing But I'd rather have him any day of the week over someone whose only interest is making money.

Nodnol Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I have to say, my local site tends to be pretty well marshaled and marshaled by the locals. Yeah they dominate when they’re in a group, but only because they know the place with their eyes closed. They’re all fair and decent lads. Most of the sinners though fall foul of a very common sin that extends into every day life. Thou shall not be a dickheadth I think cheat calling annoys me more than non-hit takers to be honest. If I go and run around with a toy gun for a few hours, my only concern is about my experience and my conduct. Yeah someone not taking hits is annoying, but that’s what marshals are for. Someone screaming “TAKE YOUR HITS” across the warehouse sours the mood real fast. Everything else, I think, just tends to be completely unnecessarily. Spamming semi, headshots when you have the whole of a person to aim at, getting angry...99/100 I just think it’s pathetic and unwarranted. We’re all dressed up like soldiers running around with toy guns. Take the rules seriously....but apart from that? What’s the point in getting worked up? IT’S. A. GAME. If everyone woke up, looked themselves in the mirror and said “right, try to not be a c*** today”, the world would be a better place. Same goes for airsoft.

Cr0-Magnon Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've realised the ultimate cardinal sin of airsoft, is if the really obvious and puerile remark isn't shouted out by that one guy who's been chatting to his friends all through the safety briefing.
