Why I hate being banned...

[Hobbs]

...maybe I should place bets on how quickly this gets threadjacked...any takers?

Anyways...

1) PFB: I hate that I can't talk about it anymore.

2) Pulse Rifle: The one true thing I really wanted to share with a lot of people, and I had huge support, but now it's like, "What's the point?"

3) Watching what I say: I gotta be careful in PM's and in replies here to make sure I'm staying away from the whole subject of my banning. Making a fresh start is hard when most everyone knows about it.

There's prolly more...I'll add on if people want. IDK.

Ed: I'd rather not this become the place to discuss the why-fores and whether-to's. Anyone who cares can PM me. Thank you.

I don't want to come across as rude or uncaring, but you really have no one to blame but yourself.

I noticed you were on "moderated poster" status for a while....that should be enough right there to quit breaking rules.

Please read my edit.

I'm not sure if you're going to get much sympathy from the posters in this forum, seeing as how most of us come directly from CS and love that site and its moderators, which includes trusting them to make the right decisions. It's pretty much a family mentality. So you did something to obviously break the rules and I'm not sure what you're expecting from us. Go ahead and rant all you like, but by posting this thread, you have to realize what you are opening yourself up to.

How to approach this... I'd love to discuss, but have nothing to go on. The circumstances of your banning are apparently off-limits, and I can't just commiserate because I've never been banned, ever, anywhere. I don't think I've ever even had a post or comment removed (unless the entire thread was deleted) except one time, and that was a comment on article on a Catholic News site saying that their church was doing evil in the name of good, so a deletion was all but expected. (Even there, a more gently-worded replacement comment was accepted.)

[Hobbs]

I've never been banned before either. So I'm still trying to come to terms with it.

I'm confused as to the point of this thread.

You've posted on a debate forum, yet asked people not to debate it and when someone posts a response that isn't what you want to hear you don't really reply other than "re read what I posted".

So what is it that you want?

I'm gonna take a random stab and say that he wanted to vent.

Fratching is a debate forum, and is billed as such.

Allow me to be more specific:

Venting/Ranting Subforum.

When I was in high school I used to get banned all the fucking time from different forums. I was a prick I guess.

Nowadays I just get lots of warnings. I've been pretty good on here and CS though. A few warnings, but nothing major. I think it's because there's more people like elsporko who make me look better (like in my "black sheep" thread).

Making a fresh start is hard when most everyone knows about it.

Then why make an entire thread the subject of it?

Venting/Ranting Subforum.

On a DEBATE site.

From the "How this forum works post:

Only got time for a five-minute rant? Not enough time for a reasoned post? Here you go!

Don't worry - someone will be along to prove you wrong in a short while...

Rapscallion

Then why make an entire thread the subject of it?

Seriously...I wonder how many people even noticed or wondered why you were banned until you pointed it out.

[Hobbs]

I just wanted to make a list of things I hate about it, really. I figured no one cared.

4) As per my laziness, I have to dig through spam to find the emailed versions of my PM's to get people's email addresses.

5) I seem to get more PM's here, and I keep having to cull my in/out boxes.

More to come

I uh, do kind find it intresting that you changed your title and signature shortly after your banned.

Kinda like a matryr.

People get banned from sites alot. I've been banned from some when I was younger. I been banned by a friend of mine at his site, because I didn't post anything on his game thread, because of well, work.

You move on. You take your lesson you learn, and realize that hey, I made a mistake. Time to not do that again.

Your still here, you still can post here. So its not a total ban. (which I've seen happened...)
