Strange email from TrailBadger

So, I get a ton of crazy emails on a regular basis and most of which I just respond to and file away. That being said, about a month ago, I got a strange email over on our sister site, JLWRANGLER.com and from a guy with the username TrailBadger. Apparently, he wanted to ask questions about my old site, JK-Forum.com and to inquire about where all the moderators went. Anyway, rather than me tell the story, I thought I would just post up what transpired. Enjoy.

--------------------------------

pardon me, but I noted that your name "wayofLife" is/was the founder of the JK-forums I just wanted to know what happened to the moderation staff?. as I don't see anyone of them and I've sent word to several I've been able to locate. The only ones I have been able to speak with are a couple of the vendors. I just wanted to know if there are any moderation staff on that site and if not How do I get several of these topics moved or changed?. is it possible for me to become a moderator of this site seeing how I see none anywhere.

I'm asking about the JK-Forum as there may be mods or admins, but their not doing anything.. several post aren't in the correct area or comments see out of place. I was just asking if there's anyone maintaining this forum as it looks jumbled up and out of place. For instance, one spot is open to forum support and several new members posted topic in this forum based on issue with their jeeps. So those topics are in the wrong place. I merely asked if you or whom ever owners or maintains the JK-Forum would allow me to mod so I can clean this up for them, I have time and will gladly do so.

And, this is what I told him...

And finally...

I don't see why you think this is funny cause I've attempt to register with your site twice and was denied approval.

As you can see, that all happened back in January but yesterday, I see this guy finally signed up here on WAYALIFE but then almost immediately afterward, I got the following email.

Well I thought about what we talked about a few months back and decided to join the forum/community. Doing so I created my profile then started exploring a few topics. After a short while, I noticed a few topics (mainly replies to other forum members) that did not seem very tasteful even crude at best. Thus I've changed my mind about participating in your forum and now wish for my account to be deleted as I'll not post any of my thoughts or ideas there.

What the flying fuck? I want to be a mod but my feelings were hurt from reading threads on a forum I just joined and had no participation in. This guy is more idiotic than that parks dude.

Interesting he tested the water by email after being ignored by the other forum. I think he knew it wouldn't go well if he started posting here.

[emoji23] I joined Wayalife for all the great info and experience here, but I spend most of my time reading in the 8th slot and Infirmary. People are so weird!

What an idiot, just be free to make your own decisions and move on if need be. No point in bitching to the owner when you are there for free and see something you don’t like. It’s like complaining about your meal at a free buffet, pointless.
