Weird reasons you have been banned from Websites? :/ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 03-12-2023, 02:30 AM

On another Website, I posted something like,"Remember when payphones were abundant and you had to pay a quarter to call someone if you were on the streets?"

I soon got a message saying something like,"You have been banned. Reason. Spam.

Speaking about payphones got me banned?

Seriously?

I have been posting, and being a member, of an internet forum(s) since 1998. And I have only been banned twice.

Once on a dating site because I uploaded a crazy photograph pretending that it was me. I did this on purpose because I wanted to get banned.

The second time was from IMDb fighting on the George Clooney forum with a troll. Interestingly enough, I am not even a fan of Clooney.

I find being a jerk on the web is a waste of time, actually posting on the internet is a time waster but I do it anyway

I got banned three times from a website but they always let me back on. The reasons were 1. I called a character on T.V. a sl--. Not the actress, the character but I got banned. 2. I called a character fat. Okay, that was wrong because the actress is also fat. I deserved that one I guess. But other people call people horrible names and call them ugly and they don't all get banned. 3. I made a joke and somebody said it was racist but it totally was NOT. The word black was in the joke. It was not about race. That stung. But I always got back on.

The only other time I got banned was from a site I had just joined I forget the name now. It might have had the word Hippie in it? They said my user name that I had just created was too similar to another user who had just gotten banned and they were afraid I was them. Of course I was not them and why would I choose a name so close to a banned user's name on purpose if I was them? LOL

I don't see why talking about payphones would get you banned. Was it off topic by any chance? Sometimes people get huffy if something is posted in the wrong thread. I love old payphones and miss them.

The banning I got from City Data I can only relate to the fact that I am not a lover of big pharma and maybe said too much against BP for the city data mods and since I believe they are heavily funded by BP, they did their job and I think I was a member there 5 or so years. A lot of it was good. The CD mods are notorious for getting rid of folks...

When they didn't give a reason, they went with spam or troll....

Waste of time???Not really, so many spend too much time and I was there in my early years and now I don't turn on computer until 10amish and t urn it off 7pmish, and up and down all day....sometimes when I'm in my bedroom and I've already turned off the puter, I think of something and sometimes think of going and trurning it back on, but I DON'T....it's a good feeling Not To.

I've learned so much from Dr. Google and other smart people.

What I was insinuating that the internet can be a major time waster, that I am guilty of.

And a lot of bored people use the web to troll on (not pointing to any fingers at anyone in particular).

In all honesty, I feel sorry for people that do not have a lot of options in life, and that are literally stuck inside their homes all day (due to being immobile or mental illness, etc.)

I am truly grateful that I am not one of those individuals.

I'm just so Happy that I'm an Old Soul, been there, done that a LOT in my long years.''Younger groups have NO IDEA what life was like before all this AI and Bull Money makers for tech him them.

Im still trying to get back there.....

I checked the logs on my last 2 accts and PJSATURN blocked me.... I ONLY POSTED ON ELNINA'S BASES... PAM HAS NO RIGHT TO GOTO ELNINA'S BASES AND BLOCK ME!!!!!!

They think they are global mods AND THEY ARE NOT... They are only supposed to mod the bases they are assigned to! (I sent a PM to Pam asking her to please stop blocking me)

They wouldnt be able to do that here... Todd makes sure staff ARE NOT GLOBAL MODS (The local ones)

Its just sickening..........

Oh Dude, stop wanting to be on C-D, why is a mystery.

Dude111 · 03-12-2023, 04:06 PM

Ah man!!

GentlemanJim · 03-12-2023, 05:23 PM

I got banned at one forum because I created the account with a user name of "UncleFeeley",

I also had this one doof who was always trying to punk me at one of the MLB forums, so I created an alt/ and pirated his avatar, installing a cartoon of an elephant doing obscene things to his character, animated it, and used that for the new avatar on my account. Since I did this after the world series, none of the admins caught it until spring training, so I got to tease the guy all winter. Then they axed me.

Dude111 · 03-14-2023, 07:36 PM

I might use that as my next acct on CD

GentlemanJim · 03-15-2023, 11:13 AM

When the "torch and pitchfork" brigade came down on me to impress their disapproval, I explained that my real name was Felix, and that I had a niece who could not pronounce my name correctly. Did little good, they were not impressed.

But the thing of it is, nothing that I did violated any of their posted TOS. They banned me purely out of spite.

Taught me two lessons though. One, just because someone is a forum admin, although they might have the last word, that don't make them "right". And two, one doesn't have to be vulgar to get an objectionable point across. You can use the filth that is already in the minds of your target, inspiring them to think ideas and concepts that you could never get away with writing
