Shaw, to be honest I saw that post, YOU were not the one to welcome somebody like that, besides he was just asking for help and you gave him a BIG lecture. It is a job of admins of telling what to do and not, sure we members tell the new comers that don't read the rules properly and not to bump topics ... etc...
But here, you were actually warning the guy of being banned, you know non-of us are that capable to be an admin, being an admin or moderator is a BIG job and not just what you think.
Completely agree with AKI and Trevor.
