Banned - Page 3

I agree with ********. Being banned is not about arguing. Its not about providing facts in a debate. Its also not about discussing the nuances of reptile keeping with others. Being banned is when you try to make it personal and petty. Name-calling, yelling, off-topic slander, etc etc. That's what gets people banned. Why? Because there's no need for that crap here. This place runs more smoothly than any other community with 2,000+ member that I know of. And the reason is because the riff-raff is weeded out.

(Question) If you were to be banned from a mailing list, is there a way to get baq on it? Like still read what other people say exept you cant say anything sort of thing?

Thanks,
Ben

I thought we had the free exchange of opinions and ideas. I posted to Tim and Julie B that they were being ridiculous in asking people not to use the symbol of their business and it was deleted? I didn’t cuss, didn’t threaten anyone…just gave my opinion? Anyone care to address why that was?

SC, let me be blunt with you... If you dont like the way we run things.... Dont post here.

Never said I didn’t like it here. Fact is the this is the best and most user friendly message board I have ever seen. I like it here very much. I asked this question to gain general knowledge, your staff provided the info that opinions are not censored, then mine was. I thought it a touch hypocritical. Don’t you?

Legally yes, my point is who complains about free pub? That is the ridiculous part.

I dont know who deleted your post and in fact your post shouldnt have been deleted unless it was a personal attack, etc... In fact nothing is supposed to be deleted period... Its to be moved to another forum. We ban, kick, move threads etc for our members, not for our own personal gain etc. The same treatment would be taken if you were being attacked by another member of the forums. If someone calls me ugly or says my snakes harbor parasites (examples) or whatever it may be, they are not banned... Really i could care less. But if there are problems in the community involving members of the site regardless of my relationship with them, they will be delt with and the action that will be taken is relative to the problem at hand discussed by our team of moderators. If you post was erased Chuck, I will be check the logs and see who deleted it and ask them why it was deleted. The point is our team does the best job they can to bring you the best and most user friendly enviroment for you to share your knowledge / experiences without the negativity and other BS that forums online are filled with. We are human and we do the best we can, if thats not good enough then theres not much more we can do!!

No negativity? You will need to ban BW Smith at once. =) Seriously, this is a super site. It’s the only message board I have ever used on a regular basis. You have done a fantastic job here. Sorry if you took my question to mean I didn’t like the way things run.

sSNAKESs.com · 07-14-03, 04:46 PM

Chuck thanks man... BW is a special case... he grows on you over time!! We love you Brian!!

On a serious note though, Sorry for jumping the gun aswell... Sometimes its just frustrating trying to make everyone happy... lol we do our best though

Plus our dedicated / long time members are tough to please!!! Small changes are viewed as enormous and they usually result in revolt... LOL!!! So I get a little edgy at times, you will just have to forgive me!!!
