Veteran Status Revoked

[scumbagatheist]

Well, I received word that my veteran status has been revoked.

It's a very disappointing turn of events. I do understand the reasoning (to be fair and strict to the rules), but it still stings.

So, for all the vets that were bothered that I was allowed to be a vet, you need not worry anymore. I'll do my best to continue to be a contributing part of the community.

This thread is only a means to vent my disappointment. It's not an F-you to the mods/admins/forum, nor is it a plea for appeal. It's just an "aww, man!" thread.

Aww man, sorry to hear that.

It's nice of you to calmly accept the recovation, as things could have gone much worse. :beer:

You weren't singled out, others got their vet status revoked as well, so don't worry

The mods needed to enforce the rules because a lot of people were getting in without meeting the 1yr requirement.

See you back in 2014! :beer:

Thanks, guys. ARG, like I said, I get it. It still sucks on a personal level though.

Sorry to hear that SBA :/ although, for a 4 month member, you have more rep than a lot of vets! So keep yer head up mate!

 

[firelaser]

why what rules did he break?

edit, oh one year?

 

[ARG]

He didn't break any rules, he, and others were admitted to the vets section without having 1yr membership, it was a mistake by the admin.

 

[jcranmer]

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

Since it's an aww, man thread...

... too bad you didn't lurk for a few years like me (sarcasm).


I'm sorry to hear that.
You still contribute amazingly to the forums and I wish you the best of luck in the future!

(this is coming from someone who has never seen inside the pearly gates of of the veterans forum, so I don't know what I'm talking about... do all the venting you need)

You act like interesting stuff happens in the vets forum

Don't worry mate, you'll be there again in no time

Avery made a few little stuff ups forgetting about the 1 year rule, had to make it fair.

 

[IsaacT]

Yeah not too terribly much goes on there...so it's not like you lost out on a queso fountain or free drinks

 

[Dr.Laser]

I've been here for 5 years and I'm not even close to 1000 posts. :undecided:

 

[ped]

But your rep is high which indicate its more a case of quality over quantity :beer:

That's a bummer SBA. But don't worry, as long as you keep posting time will fly and you'll be a vet again in no time!
