I was banned, Jessie James, very recently, (December 13-20). It was a protocol error, rather than an emotional overreaction, or anything like that. I just copy/ pasted a post from a locked thread to somewhere else, but it wasn't to reignite a hot discussion during a Snickers break. The reply itself was fairly straight forward.
None of my posts that day were removed or modified, and the thread was later reopened. If I'd waited until morning to reply, it would have been fine. It's like if you pass a car while yellow flags are waived in a car race. You get a drive-through penalty in the pit lane, and lose track position.
I found out later, I could have come back the next day, but I saw that a week was my penalty, and I didn't try to log back in until the week had passed. I could still read the board, as a lurker.
On the red board, I was banned three times.
#1: The thread about the death of Robin Gibb. The 100th mod said 'Anyone who doesn't have respect for the dead needs sensitivity training' or something like that, and I said 'How many inches are there between your belt and your nipples, two?', and that got me two weeks, and a target on my forehead.
#2: Ms Femme Fatale was ranting for several posts about East Indians scamming welfare, with multiple claims. I posted:
"Someone's on the rag." No quote, just those 4 words. The ban explanation was "Some one is on the rag. Another uncalled for insult". Six weeks for that.
#3: I said "Any guy with one nose and some of his teeth should be able to get lucky in the ice cream aisle of a Sobey's between 8:15 and 8:45 on a Friday night, depending on how badly they want to bust a slump".
I figured everybody should know that a slumpbuster is an especially unattractive larger woman, that a baseball player has sex with, if he hasn't had a hit or several games - it removes the 'jinx' on his bat, superstitiously speaking. I even provided a link to the urban dictionary definition of slumpbuster in the following post, and said "Geez, a guy speaks his mind, and you shit all over him. I usually have to pay extra for that". They removed that post, then the whole thread, the next day. One of the advertisers may have been buying ice cream while reading that on her phone, and just naturally assumed I was directing that specifically at her. I was just suggesting that guys pay for sex or read about guys who do because they prefer to pass on the free options. It's not the large ladies I was dissing, its the guys who are 4's, who won't bang anyone less than three leagues above them.
Apparently I got a lifetime ban from their lobby, but not the other forums. After 18 weeks, (I assumed each ban was three times longer than the last), I sent the owner a PM asking when the ban would be lifted, and told him that biased mods were the problem with his site. He never responded, so I put the site on Ignore.
Somebody must have thought 'bust a slump' suggested violence. I was just suggesting that, women buying ice cream at that time on a Friday have written off the evening, to watch a rom-com with the cats. At least one of them would probably want to fuck a guy she doesn't know, rather than eat the ice cream, but the guys would rather rub one out to porn on a Friday, and post on message boards, than cruise the ice cream aisle.
What got me banned there might get me 'Likes' stats here.
