Guys,
Thanks for the thanx! Although I can tell you that Corndogs banning was not due to the many complaints of him irratating people on the forum. Had corndog not started a thread calling for banning of a fellow ATVConnection member after we warned him about his behaviour, (Hmm, wonder if we shouldnt have banned those individuals that started threads calling for CornDog to be banned?) he may very well be a member still. So those members that think "We got him good", you didnt, CornDog got himself. Thanks for participating in the ATVConnections forums...
RoostKing...

There's absolutely no need for any ban to begin with. Just don't answer idiotic posts.......ignore him.

Thank you. Colt77, there was absolutely positively a need for the ban. There was never a single positive contribution by that user, if someones sole purpose is to cause problems on a forum then they are not needed.

I think that we should all thank the moderators for a job well done. It doesnt matter if CornDog caused problems for a year or a day, whenever everyone banded together to say that the FORUM ( not a particular user ) had a problem with him, action was taken. This is the way (IMO) that it should be. thank you for looking at all aspects and giving CornDog all the chances in the world, I hope that courtesy would be extended to all members. once again, Thanks!

i agree with RoostKing 100%. personally ( in my opinion ) BUT.i think that we have little room for b*tching about how Dave Beckstrom runs HIS own FREE forum. If we were paying for a service then I would understand where people would question the policy.. but we arent... who am I ( or you for that matter ) to complain to dbeck about how he runs his stuff. this man is nice enough to provide this forum for us and all we want to do is tell him how to run it or ask for an explanation?? he owes us nothing. IMHO , we have no place to question his rules and regulations, this is HIS house and we are the guests.
oh yeah , where i used the phrase ( or you for that matter ) , it was not aimed at anyone in particular and i dont want anyone to take offense by it.

Some people 2 and 3 times corndogs age, have/been just as guilty. I agree that he was irratating sometimes, but so are others. Grown men gloating that he is gone. Oh well, i am sure he will pop up under a different name. Then what?

Funny how the day or day after Corndog is banned, we are all on here addressing the little things; like fuel filters, spark plugs, engine stalling, etc.....This is what this forum is meant for...LEARNING and helping........Corndog's demise was a long time coming........JIM

I still have serious issues with Dave Beck. He took away my other "nick" because of a heated post that I made quite a few months ago. Although this is his forum and it is a privledge to use, I do not agree with all his rationale and decrees of what is a go/no go on here. Especially when what I was banned for was no different than many other participants get away with on a daily basis. Kind of hypocritical and biased, if you ask me. Oh, by the way, it was on that Honda thread quite awhile back about someone getting in an accident and everyone "banding together" and "praying". I said "take that crap elsewhere", and *poof* no more logging in for AlaskaTRX. I still get pissed when I think about that...
Anyways, that is just my opinion. I expect to be "nuked" now that I've said that...

Good Job Mods.

And that's just the point we were trying to make Roostking.... He brought it upon himself (just as we all knew he would) - just took you guys forever to get down to business. Don't guess I see your logic behind your last comment about banning those calling for Corndog's demise from this board.
The main problem I have is there are several policies in place on these boards to keep them from getting "garbaged up", however, many of those policies make it hard to share info and lots of good info (and people) get deleted in the process. I'd still like to hear the reason my old userid got banned (sent msgs to dBeck and got no reply) - heck, I've contributed a ton to these forums over the years, including the cute little ATV icons many of us are using (and more that I sent in that were apparently too much trouble to add to the list)
However, when such a GLARING problem like Corndog shows up, he is left to go around the forums disrupting good conversation and start flame wars with reckless abandon with almost zero recourse until practically the whole forum spoke up...

Yes.....a big thanks goes out to the moderators for taking care of the situation......
I have something else to say and I speak for my self only......
I would like to apologize to the moderators if one or all were offended by my comments "in La-La land" which could be interpreted as a bash towards them. This was not my intention.
I was , by my own admission, disgusted at the fact that nothing was accomplished after the first "round" the day before. I didn't notice how my comments could have offended the moderators and even Dave Beckstrom himself.
Mods.....Dave......if you were, you have my sincere apologies.
Thanks again for the help.

Yup, We lynched him good. Seriously this forum is an extremely good source of info for enthusiasts of all capabilities and when someone tries to muddy the waters of good honest communication and help it bugs me. Its a good thing and I am sure there will be more, it is just important that we as users try to keep all this info honest, accurate and without bias. Keep fighting the good fight and lets all move on.

Colt77,
You may have a point but how long do you go. I'm not sure your aware of the full story and for that matter no one may be.
If your a parent and you constantly have your child causing problems while your talking, you do what? Ignore, but how long. Some people won't go away, won't change there attidtude to be social and there are programs in place to handle them in society. At this forum they Ban them. Hopefully they can modify their behaivior to be more social, if not go find a forum that supports that attitude and have fun.IMHO
Thanks Mods.

Lets all hope that this fades out real fast so that we all can get back to business- talking and solving little problems about the quads and the sport we all love!
R.I.P.
