without us AZ would be nothing,

Some people have vested their money in this website, theyre the ones with yellow bands that say club members.

but if they wanted to save themselves alot of time and aggrivation all they have to do is ban varney.

This has been the real issue all along, hasn't it? Let's flex our muscles and show the moderators that it is us who are REALLY in charge of this forum?

That chould explain why the word "fool" was used.

Hopefully someone will look up the definition of hypocrite and post it here to see if it fits Mr. Wilson.

Unfortunately, the way Varney is treated or ignored by the moderators is only one example.

The bottom line is, some members on here have diplomatic immunity and can get away with stuff others cannot.

well i have no horse in this race but i disagree az would be nothing without some members . i think the folks who want Mr varney banned have stepped into the same bed and anyone who continues to bash and name call should be banned . i would not have joined if i did not like az forums all im saying is other sites are not as lienant as az is . i think im gonna enjoy my time but i am also going by the terms of service also because im a good person and also because i have a privilege to be a member here not a right . i think alot of members here have forgotten that. im not getting into the bashfesting but with curiosity i have read some of it as anyone would and i agree with what one mod said about if you have no interest or in a business interaction with someone here buying/selling then basically said person has no business bashing. i have read alot of postings where some members here think they are az police and post like they are above other members .

anyway im out and thanks for listening time to take my kid fishing . everyone have a good afternoon

IP search in progress, my bullshit detector says that you live in North Carolina. You sir, are certainly on the Radar Screen. Welcome to AZ Billiards and please say hello to Ron and all the boys down there in the land of Dixie.

Before you make yourself at home do a little research!!!!

Take care
 
I bought an xbreaker jump/break, a break rak, 2 books banking with the beard and the big bang. I bought slipstic and a Masse tip all from vendors/members on this site.

I'm sad to say I no longer trust the businessmen allowed on this site and will no longer make purchases here. I've told many many friends to join this site but I will have to give them a warning.

I imagine the business men on this site are more disappointed than anyone as to the turn of events here.

I can't say that for sure or not. I post on quite a few messages boards, various topics, various people. Some for a long time. I've meet over thirty different people directly from online message boards, about a third from this MB alone. Sometimes, things can get nasty. A lot worse than what I've seen here. In fact, this is like posting with training wheels on.

From my experiences, you really can say anything you want, you just have to know how to say it. If that makes sense.

well being a newbie i might get jumped on but it seems from what i have read and seen posted i think the mods are giving alot of patience to everyone . from all the bashers comment i have read alot of member have broken several rules - including name calling , posting things not true , and using derogatory comments to members . it is kinda the ole pot meet kettle and calling out a mod is not very smart and this site is not a co op owned by members you have an opportunity to be a member not to act like site owner and the rules members accepted folks agreed too and if not then they should go elsewhere. im just saying ...

i know for a fact on other boards i go to if someone calls out a mod they are banned on the spot . i hope the mods here remove alot of this bs and posting flame wars. and im not talking directly about you but alot of folks on here are downright childish and immature .

Yes I hear what your saying....lets not forget about the members that get banned, and create a new identity, and lets not forget about the guys posting under multiple accounts....:wave2:

I think this is precisely the problem. Other sites ban people for being dishonest in their transactions, especially when there is a history of it. Other sites enforce their rules, and they do so the same for everyone, whether you are a cuemaker, a pro, a long time member, a short time member, a well liked member, or a not well liked member.

I think that most of us agree that the moderators should follow the rules the same as everyone else. I am not making any judgements or saying that they didn't in this case, only that we should be able to expect them to. It would be hard to make any judgement here anyway because calling someone a fool would have been ok for one member, and not ok for another.

The bottom line is that almost all of the issues that have been brought up can be prevented/solved by doing three things:
1 Have reasonable rules in place.
2 Enforce those rules--otherwise they are meaningless.
3 And probably the most important of all, be CONSISTANT with their enforcement.
