I've been gone for a bit... So, what the f*** happened to get Charlie banned? Can someone fill me in?

IByte · Nov 5, 2013

I'm just as surprise d as you are lol. Damn I hope it's only a temp ban.

I think it would best to ask by PM to a mod as to a open forum. If I am not mistaken the mods have said this before. I like Charlie, So hopefully he will be back.

90 days.

You will have to ask the mods why. I don't want to get in trouble for telling you. I miss him too!

He got banned because TPF is over crowded. I wonder who will be next?

I miss Charlie, too. I hope he decides to come back in December.

Jeez, tough crowd!!

Charlie's ban wasn't taken lightly by the mod team. It was a very difficult decision and we spent a lot of time discussing it. No one wanted to see Charlie go, but to be fair, we can only give so many warnings and infractions out. It eventually comes down to the person being able to fall in line w/ the guidelines of the forum. Charlie is a wealth of information and it will be a huge loss to the forum if he doesn't return. Hopefully, he will reconsider.

Charlie calls it as he sees it which is why his "I just went to Best buy, now I'm a pro" rants are classic and epic. I hope he comes back although I'm sure some mods wish he wouldn't. Too many people read Charlie's posts subjectively rather than objectively.

...in before the lock.

Hey, I bought my camera at Best Buy !!

as a psuedo moderator on another forum, I can understand the outcome as I've seen his rants. Though justifiable"-ish" from a Pro's viewpoint against a newbie "Pro" asking what the difference between Manual and Aperture, the rants are a bit overboard in the sense of "let everyone be friends on the internet and not chase people away" that most Forums try to maintain.

Of course, it helps if one of the Admins maintains a dancing track & field runner as their avatar. It's just distracting enough. :lol:
