hello. How do I become a "trusted member"?

[canyonbat]

I’m not trusted either. Someone always disagrees with my opinions, especially my wife!

How many strikes do you have? If you are bad enough, it gets to the point where you get 3 strikes and you are gone for good. I might have to choke up.

Mail me $100 worth of Defender gift cards and make 10 posts, welcome aboard. Never been banned yet but when I suggested on another forum the best way to repair a Jabsco toilet was to gently place it in a dumpster someone started another thread whining about me having no "Forum Decorum". I once meet a woman who had been thrown out of our local waterfront dive bar. My thought was "What would you have to do to get thrown out of that DIVE ?" I don't know what Boatie did to get banned but I'll buy a guy like that a bar in the local dive anytime.

Hah. I thought this was going to be about the TWIC.

I was informed, about 0600 one morning, on deadline, that air freight shipments would no longer be accepted, except from “trusted individuals.” Well, how do I become a “trusted individual?” “We’re not sure yet... call the FBI.” That eventually became the TWIC.
Since then, neither I nor my brother (drunk, criminal record) has ever, ever, been asked to show the TWIC card on any dock.

All timed out now..
That was in my early days when vino tinto was still king and not my liver which objects viciously these days if I go over two glasses.. not worth the hangover next day.

Does that mean, 2 members with a strike, could be rude to one another? I've met you, so it would be in fun.

It's actually a violation of the Rules to even be talking about Strikes and Moderation issues on the forum....kind of like talking about the Hong Kong Protests in China. Next thing you know this thread will disappear and I'll get Strike II.....
