He never spoke with you or anyone else. He just stopped posting. He didn't get in any "trouble" with the mods that I know of. Just people being brash and rude to a new person was all that happened.I've had PM conversations with more than one Marine new to INGO. Well, I call them "conversations", but they were more like me being screamed at because I refused to allow them to do whatever the hell they felt like while they were here. I'm sorry if your friend felt like he was bullied, but I'm not THAT sorry. The rules are easy to find and, in fact, are required reading to join the site. If someone chooses to ignore the information and then expect the membership to spoon-feed it to them, that's on them. They need to take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming everyone else.
If these people are so bad why is that they can go to M4 Carbine and ARFCOM and GLOCKTALK and do not seem to have the same problems? These sites are well organized and orderly and they do not bring out the banhammer easily or feel the need to belittle people with the slightest infraction. They can all be quite nasty if pushed though.
I am a member of all these sites in one form or another. INGO is well-known for the way it is and I can only imagine how big this place could be and how many people we could get to contribute if they felt welcome. Truth hurts sometimes.
