Housekeeping: Have you been kicked off another Board?

» » Thankyou for all those who have sent me their "Priors" !LOL!

» »

» » You have all been responded to (I hope).

»

» El Prez...I've been a member of this board for about a year. Honestly,

» I've not seen you be "harsh" to anyone. At least not from my viewpoint.

» You have some rules on the board and you are consistent in enforcing them.

» You also take out the trash in a quick and clean manner. You don't string

» it out over a number of threads and days, even weeks, of posting.

»

» As I am sure some of you have noted, I have recently increased my posting

» at this board. There is very good reason for it. I dislike the drama

» that seems to plague just about every other cigar board on the .net. It

» gets old. Rob, your efforts keeps this board pretty drama-free. However,

» you manage to do it in such a manner that it does not come across as a

» dictatorship. I, for one, thank you for the manner in which you run this

» board.

»

» Anyway, just my 0.02.

Ditto that dawg and WTG Rob! Very refreshing IMHO. Administer Da Smackdown and skip all the drama.

I will keep an eye on it but will continue to treat any new member with a short hard stick if they endeavour to offload cigars or seek Cuban Cigar sources as part of their opening post. I am sorry....but they are simply morons.

Reminds me of a quote from 'Young Guns II' one of my favorite movies..............."We don't tolerate Scum"........or morons. Hope that means Pmag can't join.

Thanks Shane!

I can't help but be reminded of The Wizard of Oz, or in our case.

I've never been kicked off a board but I did get kicked out of a biker bar once. It was a pretty rough place so I had to try real hard. The upshot is they invited me back a week later.

[El Presidente]

37 applications for parole recieved to date

Some of the stories have been bloody funny. FOH is not a club for Choir Boys and so the vast majority have been sanctioned to continue subject to monitoring.

This is not a Star Chamber. If all my priors came into consideration I would need to seriously consider banning myself

Ken...I am still considering your case ;-)

[El Presidente]

PJ....Pmag is on my permanent ban list !LOL!

I hope you are well my friend. Give Donna a huge hug for me.

Damn, I am beginning to feel like a choir boy here LOL

[Guest gorob23]

» FOH is a broad church but we have a bylaw which states:

»

» If you have been ejected from another board, e-mail me for a

» consideration of probation. Don’t hold your breath

»

» I am always inclined to give a probation and trial period of membership.

» This is mostly a cultural cringe reflecting Australia's history of

» accepting the worst of the worst and making it work

»

» You will need to let me know however....before I find out or it is brought

» to my attention that you have a chequered past on other BB's.

»

» If I find out first then there will be no reprieve.

»

» Consider an amnesty in place for existing members until this Friday the

» 17th to let me know "The Dark Side" ie problems they may have experienced

» elsewhere. e-mail me at [email protected]

» Communications will remain confidential.

»

» If you have a clean slate....or a great story... you may continue.

»

» Sorry for the interruption to normal programming

» :cool:

Not kicked off, I LEFT "the Other" Board" if your interested I would be happy to 'splain it ( that's high school kid talk:-D )

Yea but that only makes your stock go up in my eyes;-)

[Havana Joe]

I have no priors myself....

[Loki]

Nope, Never been kicked off any board.

I have had to bite my tongue on a few, but not this one.

Religion, politics, trolls and general in-fighting does not exist at FOH.

Let's do our best to keep it that way.

This place is Utopia.

[Ken Gargett]

i assumed that kicked off another board was a condition of entry or at the very least a badge of honour. there are a few bars and one or two countries (i swear that what happened in greece was not my fault) but no boards yet.

A good laugh at the end of the work day.... Always can count onKen for that

[CigarZen]

Never removed from any BB -- but I have been "helped" out of few pubs in my younger years. I've mellowed.;-)

[bgoodz]

Never been removed or moderated at any BB but I've only belonged to this one and one other for a short period compared to others. Being somewhat of a newb you could say to CC's I've never felt or have been treated with any disrespect form anyone here. Rob to me has gone out of his way to answer any questions I had early on regarding suggestions and flavor profiles. Lisa has been wonderful to speak with also.

Alsways seemed to me to use a little common sense when posting and being able to take a little ribbing and then there is no problems.

Don't flame people and respect those that know more and offer help and then all will be fine. To be honest with you I still don't understand the trolling thing ? why in the world would anyone what to stir up arguments and attacks just for the sake of causing chaos in a community or good peeps. (Kali talk for people) and BOTL's

El P has in my opinion always been forthright, honest, very humorus and helpful. I stay in the background mostly just reading and laughing at the friendly and funny posts. I don't post much because I don't have as much experience as others when it comes to CC's whcih I have grown to love the flavor. And when I smoke I want it to be a good memorable experience.

I was kicked off www.ratemypoo.com for bad participation:crying: , I promise, I will never participate badly again!

Honestly now, being sorta new here myself, I see a nicely run brotherhood of manly men (manly women too, Ken*) just havin' fun n such...

(ok, there was that clown wanting to schlep Cohibas on Ebay)

My only complaint is that, well, I am quickly running out of room in my 4 humidors!

DAMMIT! guess I have to smoke faster.:-D

*I dont actually KNOW Ken, but he seems to be the local favorite to heckel

um, Prezmeister, feel free to remove that link if you deem it in poor taste :-)
