Mercury69 3 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Not sure about this, but my "account" has been suspended without having been given a specific reason. I've e-mailed them to provide one, but they tend to delete posts without informing or warning and who knows exactly why? It's hard to beleive it would be swearing, as many people air out the f-bomb on a regular basis. Also, there are plenty of little wars going on between people.I'll update with their response, if anyone cares to hear it. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Side rant. Maybe because I have a headache and I am cranky.As a former mod of a very large site for over 5 yrs, nothing at all made me angry except one little thing. Being compared to a nazi. How people can compare what nazi's did to some dork who has the ability to deleted topics and punish users on a message board is just plain ignorant and plain old retarded. That's all.Carry on.

How people can compare what nazi's did to some dork who has the ability to deleted topics and punish users on a message board is just plain ignorant and plain old retarded. That's all.Carry on.You certainly have a point, Sbriand. Perhaps I'll rephrase and ealborate...I've been posting on P5 for a while and there 's a lot of stuff that gets said. You know, the usual flameage, a bunch of swearing, unfounded rumours perpetuated and such. As some of you probably know, I can be a hot-head at times, but I usually have something specific to say about it and I'm more than willing to compromise and consider opposing POV's.That being said, I log on to P5's this morning and find my reply priveleges have been banned and I've been given, as yet, no reason. While I've dropped the f-bomb in a few posts, it's not uncommon at all. I've also called out some people for being idiots. None of this is unique to my posts and seems to be fairly standard. For example, someone made a thread called "Phrases that make you want to stab someone in the face" yet, despite the inherent violence of the title, this thread is going strong.I haven't threatened anyone nor have I been abusive, although (as I said) I will get on someone's case if they piss me off. I do tend to be irreverent, which ruffles some feathers, but rarely anything untoward.My user name is BusHansen, if you're at all curious you can go look at my last 20 posts or whatever...I doubt you'll find anything truly offensive.One thing I will admit to is that I haven't read P5's TOC for the boards, so maybe posting some of the things I did in Poker Discussion weren't by the books and would have been more at home in Off Topic.Anyway...

Should PocketFives.com incur any attorney's fees or discretionary costs as a result of any claims you make, you agree to cover such expenses.The bold part makes me laugh, actually. I may not know about it, but tons of people are getting away with this crap all the time and I see them posting later that day and next day, etc...For example, there a thread going on about people railing DN on Stars which says "they are sucking his virtual ****", blah blah blah. Why hasn't that been deleted for vulgarity? Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 SBriand, the comparison of overly stringent mods to nazis is not comparing them to real nazis, but rather it is most likely a term derived from the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. Link to post Share on other sites
Vatche 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 P5's doesn't have Stein ranked.

Mercury69 3 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 The_Stein doesn't want to be ranked? Man, the ego on that guy is something... (sw)P5 ban update: I e-mailed support and took a chance and PM'd one of the mods. As I suspected would happen, no one has replied. I'm not sure what to make of that, but my initial thought is that it's a combination of no time and an inability to answer my question. I have not yet been given a specific reason for my ban, but I'd like to know what it was, as it's not my intention to flout the rules and I'd like to keep on posting there.That being said, the seemingly arbitrary suspension, no reason given and no information forthcoming is reminiscent of large corporations that don't feel they have to answer to their clients.

Mercury69 3 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 So, I hate to bump this, but I'm kind of pissed.2 PM's and an e-mail to P5 support requesting clarification on why I was banned have gone unanswered. All I asked was to be given the specific reason I got banned so I could avoid repeat offenses. What do I get? Nothing. Frankly, I don't care how ****ing busy the mods or support is, I'd like an answer. All I'm asking is WHY.I think it's bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, for a bit of history, one of my posts on a thread over there disappeared and I posted an "I wonder where the heck my post went" post and I got a PM stating that complaining about Mod actions will result in a ban, but they were just warning me that time lol. I wasn't questioning anything, hell, I wasn't even sure if I'd actually made the post I made any more.I'm being gaslighted, aren't I? Link to post Share on other sites
