A lock in use is a lock relied on, we dont and do not advise any lock that is used in any way to be played with,

But as i know you will argue this point i will say dont waste your time as im not interested,

Why should I be nice when I have received no respect from him since day 1, I have been labeled as someone who wants to break into other people property by him. I won't be surprised if he locks the topic for no reason.

To be honest the thought that you might be trying to break in to someones property (especially on that bilock thread) has crossed my mind as well. Most of the older members tend to be a bit cautious of new members asking questions and howtos about very specific locks. That being said posting pictures of locks that are mounted look somewhat incriminating or at the very least sure to invoke the "Don't pick locks you rely on" from someone.

All of these behaviors are meant to prevent thieves from gaining entry to others property and prevent people from damaging their own locks and having to call a locksmith when their key no longer works.

As for this padlock thread, its a bit suspicious since the keyed bypass can be a common thing for schools/gyms to standardize on and therefor even picking your own could lead to building a key to open other's lockers.

Please understand that no one wants to call a new member a thief but denying them specific information is the best method we can come up with to prevent people that want quick unauthorized entry from abusing the information on this site. That being said I hope you understand Shrub's motives as well as my own in being cautious about supplying information that could be easily abused.

OK, ending my rant. That guy was probably just lucky in opening the lock, master provides a number of different pinnings for the key bypass and is bound to come up with a few that open very easily with minimal amount of raking.

The impression you give out is that your a jumped up kid who has ideas above his station, if your an adult its quite worrying,

I give everyone full respect when i first meet them, how hey conduct themselves after that first contact then decides how much respect they loose or gain,

I was nice to you when you first came then you got aggressive and started sending nasty rude pm's to me, i see that as a banning situation right there for a start but you wasnt,

Im sorry if telling you the ethics of our hobby upsets you but you obviously dont listen so it will be mentioned to you at every oportunity,

I do not and never have locked or removed a thread for no reason, everything has a reason or else i wouldnt still be in the job would i,

Sort your attitude out pal if you want to get on with this site and its members, slagging off the rules and mods at every oportunity is not the way to do it and if you feel you do have to say somthing then at least tell the truth and explain the unasked for and unsolicitated rude pm's,

Hate? no i dont hate people, life is too short but i will now make a mental note to not give this user any help in future as it will get ignored, twisted around, misunderstood and thrown back in my face,

You know why your last thread was locked and in no aspect of it did i ever accused you of breaking into anywhere, i suggest you take time out and grow up,

I have very little to add here. 1080p please, PLEASE, read what the above two posters have written you. Although most of us are hobby pickers, we beleive that we must do our very best to protect the security of others. We certainly get a bit nervous when people come and ask questions about specific locks, and certainly when high security locks are part of their initial postings here. This is the internet, we don't know you in the meat world. We can't tell if your just a curious person, or some chav bent on destroying your school. We would all love to assume the former, but the latter visits our little forum regularly enough that we are always a bit wary.
