yep they banned me too, which was totally fine with me because it gives me a good reason not to go back to that joke of a message board. That place is a disaster with "mrs kitty" and whatever that other idiot woman is that kept giving me "infractions" for using potty mouth.
I got an infraction from a male mod a couple of years ago. They had the site set so that it would censor any bad language with a * for every letter. I typed whatever I typed, a word got replaced with **** and he gave me an infraction saying that I was trying to circumvent the system.
I PM'd him and said I didn't try to circumvent anything, I typed the word and the system censored it. He clearly had no idea how the system worked and started giving me crap about it. I just let it go.
Then I got one from Eric because I posted a topic that I should've known would turn ugly. He locked it before anyone had a chance to respond and gave me an infraction. I got one other, but I don't remember what for now.
A forum is only as good as its members. As a mod, I really want this place to grow and don't intend to lock any threads, as long as the members are respectful of others, because this is where I have to draw the line.
While on this topic, is you see something that is questionable, please report it by using the red triangle in your avatar box.
A lot of the members there were great and many others were good. The problem seemed to be that about 1/3 of the active members were idiots who liked to troll and stir the pot. Over and over and over, the same idiots. They would eventually get banned, but several of them had multiple accounts. Eventually they caught on to that and banned their other accounts too, but it was beyond ridiculous and those people would be so relentless that even the better ones would devolve into personal attacks. Eventually you either got smart enough to stay out of it or you got sick of it and left.
