If you have a Beef with someone! EVERYONE Please read

[idigrust]

A few suggestions

If you have a beef with someone, leave it off the forum, PM them
or
If you have a beef with someone, Block them by using the "Foe" option
or
If you have a beef with someone, grow up, get some therapy and move on.
or
keep it up and lose the privilege to post.

This is YOUR warning, we are skipping the middle man and going straight to ban.

Thank you for reading.

Are these the same rules if you love someone too much?

Thanks Mr. Bora. How does the foe deal work?

Click a members name, you will see his info (Location, age, RB # etc...., below this is "add Friend" and "add Foe". Clicking "add foe" will make all posts by that user invisible to you and you will never ever see any post by that user again. This way, If you think that every post from that user is posted directly towards you, you will never see it, then there will also never ever be a reason to PM the officers that "That User" is after me.

Mostly right.....it's not so much that you will never ever see any post that that user again......you always have the option to go back and "de-foe" them. Also, you do get a little warning in threads you are reading that your foe made a post....but it doesn't show you unless you ask to see it. Kinda handy actually.

(as you can see....I've used the foe option!)

Rand :-)

[mountainrust]

What a great option!

[Chris E.]

Generally, I believe the third option is the best one.

[Barry Travis]

It allows you to have less foe from someone you call a "mo foe"

Foe sho!

Zero tollerance is an effective policy. It has worked before, it'll work again.

What if ditto cans was a member on here, would all the ranting about him be considered a beef and get someone kicked off ? I think here is a line somewhere between airing a personal beef and warning friends to beware of someone's shanannigins. Having to be the one to draw that line would be a hard place to be in, hence the understanding for zero tolerance. On the other hand I'd hate to see someone get screwed over while someone else is thinking "I would have warned you all but I didn't want to risk being banned. $.02

Hummm.....there has been plenty of ranting on this board with a member called Lethal1973 .....right out there.....open and public...... from what I can tell of his posts.....he's the one selling all the ditto cans recently on ebay. You might look at his posts and see what the moderators have already allowed as a rant/beef.

Cool idea. Now, can we place the "foe" miniker on those who come to BG just for the free beer? Probably not, but I like the idea.............

Rand, that's any interesting post. I have asked in the past if Ditto wasn't a member? I am unaware of any requirements that stop ANYONE from joining.
It's obvious EBH was able to get back in, albeit shortly. I also assume that piece of XXXX Shepard is on here as well.
Not sure what can be done about it.
One of the best things about this hobby is the honesty and friendship it creates. But an open forum is always , just that. Open to these pigs to " F " with it.

Rand, that's any interesting post. I have asked in the past if Ditto wasn't a member? I am unaware of any requirements that stop ANYONE from joining.

Well.....since you bring it up.....we do have a "Constitution" and "Bylaws"......which specifically state:

Code: Select all

CONSTITUTION

ARTICLE II- Purpose
Section 1. The purpose of this organization shall be to encourage and further the digging (hereafter to be referred to as, "Dumping") ,cleaning (hereafter to be referred to as "Soaking"),and collecting of rusty beer cans, and promoting friendship and goodwill amongst those who engage in these honorable endeavors. '

ARTICLE III- Members
Section 1. The members of this organization shall be those folks who are members in good standing according to the Bylaws.

BYLAWS

2. MEMBERS
2.01 Subject to the provisions of the Constitution and Bylaws, membership is open to anyone.

So....this states that membership is subject to the provisions of the Constitution.....and the Constitution states that the purpose of the organization is to encourage and further digging, soaking, and collecting rusty beer cans. It is arguable that selling boat loads of ditto cans on ebay does not encourage or further any of that.......and in fact does the opposite......

It could be within the rights of the organization to cancel the membership of anybody selling ditto cans wholesale on ebay.....$.02

Rand (aka S.D.)

[FLAFUN]

I like Rands point this club is about finding and collecting "REAL" cans and the hopes of acquiring your grail cans either through members that found them or you finding them.

Just curious, does this also mean that those who collect only current beer cans, grade 1+ only cans, soda cans, beer signs, beer bottles, etc. should also have their memberships cancelled? .03

[canman65]

NO.

[Beamer]

The Foe option has worked dandy for me.
