As far as I can remember I've only ever been banned from a basketball game after tackling some dude into a wall. In my defense they didn't really explain the rules - in retrospect I should have asked before starting. Explains his surprised expression and how easy he was to hit I guess...
I signed up at the Candlepower forum to ask some questions about my atomic beam, and compare it to some dirt cheap crappy lights I got from Amazon. I also asked a question about upgrading my 4-cell Maglite inexpensively. The first three posts are moderated, and I made those posts and also a post introducing myself. At least the post about my Atomic Beam was approved, and then I went back to check and I was perma-banned with no explanation given. Not sure what's up there. Has anyone else had similar trouble trying to register at the Candlepower forums?Charles.
In fairness, they don't normally run through the rules with spectators.
link? I used to check CPF and BLF regularly, but I ended up buying something every time most time I visited.....I now check them once every few months, and still end up buying something - the BLF special editions usually.I think CPF was OK, but a bit strict and BLF was wayyyyy too loose, with people posting whatever rubbish they liked.It has improved I think. At a time it only had 1 moderator…

I never met a light I didn't want to try evidently?I wish they would just stop improving them for a while.

This leads me to often wonder, what is he reason people stay on a forum?
