I think you look like a cunt if you bitch out a person new to BMX or Bikeguide just because they arn't educated on the sport enought yet.

people need to understand that seldom do people pick on "noobs" simply because they're new.
When you join this place it is no different than joining any other circle of people in life. There are people that have been around, know each other and know how to kid around and get a long. When new people come in they see this and try to jump in on it. Sorry pal, no one knows you. Until you give me a reason to like you, I'm not going to assume you're a cool dude. I don't dislike people because they have a low post count, but no way am I going to treat them like I treat the people I've known for over seven years now. That's stupid.

How fair is that, the person has not done anything wrong and you are banning them for it? Thought crime anyone? Not exactly fair is it? A lot of people think I treat them unfair enough as it is when they do break a rule.
I have a shitty enough reputation on a lot of other forums as it is. Many people think I am a total dick or the next coming of Hitler, I cannot imagine the reputation I would get if the staff started banning people without a good reason. Trust me, seeing your name dragged through the mud constantly gets old real fast.

Your bad reputation on other bmx messageboards reflects the idea that you moderate threads too strictly. For example, when one of the RNC workers notified in a post on bmxboard that his company was going out of business, I started a thread about it because felt it important that bikeguide too heard this news. You immediately deleted it, claiming that we should not discuss such rumors before they are proven true. I still find that ridiculous: this isn't the CNN website, it's a community.

Maybe Sheep felt that the announcement of something such as that should be made by the person who owned the company, especially seeing the owner of RNC used to (and maybe still does) post here.

exactly. you could've at least quoting what he said from another site or some sort of evidence to back up your claims.

I try to let the companies speak for themselves when I know they frequent the place. I talked to Ryan quite often and was waiting for him to make an announcement.
