My First Ever Banning

Amusingly, if you look at the second last post here, Roxdog seems to think that my LCF avatar is actually me. :D

It's so nice to find that the CT movement is so well versed in current affairs and politics beyond the bounds of the USA.

(in a bad representation of the proper accent)
It cannae be. Tha' is no a big man.
 
I checked out a few of Architect's posts over there.

Nope, no nastiness from him but you can see all the usual suspects charging in and not bothering with the topic at hand at all. Rather they often simply snipe.

That happens here as well when we get a CT posting. People gang up and bring up other topics. I try not to do that but know that I am guilty of it, it must be human nature. The big difference would be that they do not get banned soley for disagreeing with us.
 
I will pm IVXX and ask why you were banned, I may not agree with you on all issues but I think its your right to be able to post in a forum that is supposedly a "truth" forum.
As long as you are within the rules.

Lets see if we get anywhere with Architect before we start asking questions and demanding answers.

Architect was one of at least a half dozen that got banned for no reason. Ask him what precipitated the latest "purging" of free speech.

Asking questions is why we got attacked to begin with. Getting no answers is why we were banned.

Are you sure that amounts to being banned there? I have never posted there but lurk a lot. I encounter that message loads of times but if I keep nosing around different threads, some will allow me access, and then I can get to where I want to go.

Many times I am "asked to log in" when I first hit the forum. I log in and it brings me right back to the log in page. So I just click the Loose Change Forum link at the top left and then I am "welcomed" in and am there with the threads.

LCF is the only forum where I have encountered such obstacles but I still manage to get past them. That's why I ask - is this the only way one is notified that they have been banned, that one has no permission? If so, then I have been banned and redeemed many, many times there.

If you only "lurk", then you can't be banned. I also get the message "you do not have permission..." frequently but it's probably due to my proxy and/or cookies.

We KNOW we are banned when, as a poster, our ID under our name says "gone." Check out any of the posts still there by Architect or the others. The posts are still there but under their name it says "gone."

And no, they never give a warning or even an explanation. They just ban you.

Thanks. That explains it more clearly for me. I knew I couldn't be truly banned without ever having posted. Something like that though happened with me and an xian board once.
 
There's a pretty funny post on the first page of that MSNBC thread:

A QUIZ

Who would you most likely avoid at a party?

a. An old girlfriend

b. Someone you have owed money to for over a year

c. Someone with poor personal hygiene

d. A 9-11 Conspiracy Theorist

Right, but even before that, you just try to access the main forum page, and you get the "do not have permission" message. Then you can delete your invision cookies, then you can look at a thread you've posted in and see that you've been banned.

However, the first time I was kicked out last year, I was not actually banned, but merely suspended for three years.
 
As far as I know, Gravy is still on the there, but not allowed to post list.

The Truth Movement: Ask Questions! Demand Answers! But not from us or we'll ban you.

I'd agree with this; I was amazed at how quickly some people (and not just obvious candidates such as 28th) came in with nasty insults rather than posts.

I've said before, and I'll doubtless say it again, we display some aspects of the same affliction on occassion; we may not use the same abusive language, but we gang up and generally poke fun at them. I don't think that it reflects well upon us.

It's all in stark contrast to the very measured (some would say staid) tones of BAUT forum where I (and if I recall correctly JayDee) kicked off. I do wonder if we should adopt to the middle ground somewhere between the two styles.
 
OK here is the reply
Architect was ban cause he was here to do nothing but distract and disrupt. From his first post you could tell he was here just to troll.

Remember i am just the messenger.
 
I know you're just the messenger Jack, so this isn't directed at you.

LC bans everyone for "being disruptive" or "trolling". If asking questions and demanding answers is "being disruptive", the irony meter would explode.

"Being disruptive" isn't an excuse. Anyone who disagrees with the moderators 9/11 theories at LCF, proves the moderators wrong, or someone who asks a difficult question to a moderator is a "troll". What a crock.

"Truth seekers" my ass.
 
Well, anyone who reads my posts over there can make up their own minds; given that posted discussions included the nature of the damage to the basement and the likely pattern/outcome of localised CD then I think it would be fair to say that the fellow is being deeply unfair.

In fact I can't think of any occassion we've ever done something even vaguely similar here (see, by way of example, Christophera).
