Knief you're absolutely right, though it wasn't quite where I was going with it, haha.
To elaborate: a certain amount of speculation is healthy, but at some point you need first hand experience to posit commentary. You can read books on how to ride a bicycle (do such things exist?) but at some point you need to hop on the damn thing. An airsoft-specific example would be as follows: there's no way I can comment on how the Farmington games are run, what issues they have with the field, improvements they can make to the facility, and other things, simply because I haven't been there yet myself to see how it goes due to a busy schedule.

You both are absolutely right. I'm glad that such a heated topic can be discussed in a adult manner. No name calling, slandering that kind of shit. I have been on other forums with similar topics and the end result is very nasty. I shall give you both +1. I think it was in the SEMIA forum where I read about someone being shot in the face point blank in a game. All the shooter got was a warning I do believe.

Dude, just make it out to a game first and see how things are run. Ranger, I have to concur with Knief and Psychosis. You should attend a few events, and also understand that this thread is about how to handle these sort of folks, but there really are damn few people that are significant problems in and of themselves. Sadly, I do have knowledge of a few players who have created strife for my team. I can not say who, but I can say that we have a team code of conduct posted on our team board and it only adds to the exhisting policy put in place by MIA and Semia. Currently we have a very few members we are keeping closer tabs on due to continuous complaints, and if they continue to mess up, we will not allow ourselves to be embarassed by further misconduct, meaning that they will be looking for new teams. I think this is a more effective motivational tool than banning folks. We will banish them from our sight! On the happier side, I like Knief's idea about limiting guns and ammo ! I think I will try to use it in our games! It seems like it could have additional beneficial effects such as training players for better shot placement, better trigger control, etc... I find that corrective actions, or discipline are best received when there is a positive message along with it.

I stand corrected. And I agree that I must attend some games to gain a working knowledge of the sport. Here soon, people will meet me... then shoot at me.

Yea, but the people on that list would have already done something wrong to actually be put on that list. More detailed objection to deleted post edited out by Zorak.

Deathfire, your post was so hysterical and ill-informed that I'm about to delete it, and then edit Crazyrabbit's response so nobody will be able to figure out what it was.

I think it is worth it to have some sort of organized list, with some sub lists for possible degrees of infraction severity. This list could be used by event holders to dictate who could or could not attend at their own discretion. I don't believe it should be enforced. Some way should be provided for players to remove their name from the list as well, through good behavior, apology, etc. Some sort of "buffer" period would have o be given to new people as well.

It would be up to a location owner or property owner to do that legally.
You can refuse someone service entrance into a facility for what ever reason you want.
This is fine line you are crossing into defamation of character bounds and I do not think anyone wants to do that.
But as this is a private forum you can make a ban list and just opt not to play with those people.
