hi im a relative newbie on this site and have benn blocked by another member and i am not sure why. I have tried to pm an apology but cant because I am blocked could some of you experienced guys spell out the correct etiquette for those of us who are not only new to this site, but completely new to any kind of internet site suchs this. As speaking for myself i dont fully understand what is and isnt acceptable to other members
Hi panman, and welcome to the club
Perhaps it's because you don't have a photo on your profile? Most members prefer to see a face.
Take a look at the events calendar, click 'events' at top of the page, and see which events you'd like to attend and put your name down.
Here's a link to our first Biker Match K.I.S.S. rally in September

I was blocked by another member, I received a nod and a pm, to which I reciprocated, which I always do out of manners, but did not really want to carry on
with the conversation, so when the conversation had in my opinion run it's course i stopped the pm's and at a later date I was browsing profiles and
noticed the same member had blocked me, their loss not mine.
Don't worry about being blocked by another member. 9/10 the other party have clicked the block button by mistake. Some members just don't entertain people who don't have a profile pic. always a good idea to upload one if you have one that is.
As for etiquette. BM is a friendly place and if you do overstep the mark you will find out sooner or later. work on the principal of if you think it will offend then don't post it. once you have had a good look round you will get a feel for the site. One big no no's on internet forums and chat rooms is typing in CAPITALS. it is seen as shouting. If you have any real issues then drop the moderators a message using the contact form. they don't bite.
Boss Mom does well only when I wind her up lol
dont worry about being blocked just think of it as someone sulking if you had done somthing serios you would have know about it by now looking forward to seeing you at one of the meets that are planned
