So I had been planning to sign up to HK Pro, as I have some HK roller builds to finish and it is a good source of info and they also have a marketplace.
Long story short, got banned after 4 or 5 posts, due to "spamming"... no method to contact admin
So I registered again and tried to find a way to contact admin, no luck. Made a few threads, then had my IP address blocked.
this time I got a link to contact admin, so I did. I explained what had happened in that message.
So far no reply, but I logged back in at work this morning and everything seemed ok. Replied to a post in one of the threads I started, and started surfing the new threads. Then I was banned again.
Not worth my time. I did nothing different there than what I do here. They have pretty strict rules about post WTS outside of the marketplace, and asking for price estimates outside of the premium section. Neither of which I did. I guess I rubbed some mod the wrong way by asking questions and having a low post count....
*****EDIT***** Update
So I got a reply back from who I believe to be the admin.
We exchanged a few emails and they decided to lift the ban. Reason given was that I mentioned that I was up in the air on a build and commented that I might just sell the parts and finish another hk build with the proceeds or something like that.
So some of it was my fault! Fair enough. I was a newb over there.
Rapid fire posting was also mentioned, 10 post a day seems pretty tame for me, but.....
Anyways, I have started a thread over there and received a bunch of helpful replies. So the members seem to be good guys, as I figured they would be. Used the marketplace and picked up a few needed parts and mags. Everyone seemed gtg in the marketplace too.
Just make sure you follow the rules to the T if you plan to join. I can imagine that they have had increased membership since the new hk 9mm sp5 came out.
