I'm pretty sure that this is going to be the equivalent of hitting myself in the crotch with a ball peen hammer since the last time the responses we got were along the lines of "fvck you and your crappy website. I could care less, but if you want to reinstate my account fine. Otherwise, kiss my ass." If you sent one of those emails the last time around - don't bother reading any further.
That would be a pretty good example of how NOT to get your account reinstated.
That being said, I still think I'm getting soft in my old age and am going to open us up again to probably some similar responses, but in the hopes that there might be some sincere applications.
We're offering up another very rare opportunity for perma-banned members to apply for an amnesty to have their accounts reinstated.
People make mistakes and later come to regret them and, despite what some people may think, we're not in the business of trying to kick people out of here.
The mission of this forum has always been, and always will be, to bring shooters together.
Here's the deal…in order to be eligible to have your ban revoked and your account reinstated you must:
The process is as follows:

OK....time to go put my "kick here" sign on.

The mission of this forum has always been, and always will be, to bring shooters together.
Here's the deal…in order to be eligible to have your ban revoked and your account reinstated you must:
- not have tried to circumvent the ban by creating other accounts.
- not have sent us hate mail as a result of the ban.
- not have advocated a criminal act or actually committed an act that reflected negatively on this community.
- not have threatened any member of the forum or the site staff.
- not have been banned since December 1, 2015.
- not have acted like a baby and ran around the rest of the interwebz trashing this community as a result of the ban.
- not have initiated, or threatened to initiate, any legal actions against this community or the site staff.
The process is as follows:
- Use the contact us link to send an email to the site staff explaining why your application for amnesty should be considered and approved.
- The site staff will meet to discuss the application for amnesty.
- The site staff will come to a consensus on whether to approve the amnesty.
- The user will be notified via the email address on file if their application has been approved.
- There will be no notification for those applications that are not approved.
- Approved amnesties will be considered a permanent probation. There will be no future incremental bans or infractions and future violations will result in a ban with no possibility for amnesty in the future.
Additional conditions and considerations:
- Those that are currently on temporary suspension from participation in the forum are not eligible to have their temp-bans revoked.
- The decision of the site staff will be considered final.
- The site staff is under no obligation whatsoever to approve any application for amnesty.
- Decisions will take time because all members of the site staff need to have time to weigh in on applications.
- All applicants understand that this is a one-time opportunity to demonstrate a good faith willingness to be a productive member and to do so within the well-established expectations of conduct.
- All applications for amnesty must be received no later than 11:59pm on December 20, 2015.
OK....time to go put my "kick here" sign on.
Seriously, this is a nice gesture but I hope you are wearing a cup.
