    Hi. I'm not a mod here, but everything seems to be in order here. You have an avatar. You seem polite. You've double-posted like everyone else. You "spoke" a non-English language. You've used an internet term (lol) that is passé (see what I did there?).

    Nope.....you have done nothing to have been banned. Not selling anything are you?

    Welcome. All set to go! :D

    Of course he hasn't been banned but I'm not 100% sure he hasn't been Barned.

    No you have not been banned.

    By the powers vested in me by David the Goblin King, I hereby order that you be barned for all eternity. Leave now, and never return to these god forsaken lands, heathen! ::screwloose::

    Barned = Having chills and cold symptoms as a result of spending too much time in drafty antique barns. Been there, mon frère!

    Okay, here's the scoop on getting banned / barned......

    You have to do something EGREGIOUS to get banned, or be a spammer. Actually, you have to do multiple egregious things to get banned unless you are a spammer. They not only have NOT banned me (and if I don't hold the record for the number of bannings on watch forums, I'm certainly on the podium) they actually made me a moderator! AND gave me super squirrel powers! Imagine that. :p

    Like your new custom message?

    DAMN! this is so exciting!
    I'm heading off to the online dictionary to look up barned and egregious right now!

    AND!..... I'll bet Jean Marc is already regretting joining and has likely gone off to the local department store to punish himself buy purchasing multiple quartz watches...... perhaps a whole barn load! How's that for eg-re-gi-ciou...um...er yeah....that big word the squirrel used!




    Hey.....SQUIRREL! YEAH..... YOU...... yer fly is down!:eek:

    Gentlemen, please keep in mind that I don't believe Jean Marc understands much of what you say.
