nah... too lazy to try... :)

I post intermittently... don't really nef, though I am guilty of threadcrapping to a certain degree... don't recall doing an "in before lock"...
I think I remember a similar thread like "what do you think of the mods" or whatnot.

I got 2 warnings, each an hour apart for distributing umm... "Links" via PM. ;)

wtf? they scan your PMs??!?!? I thought PM stood for Private Message :frown:

I don't think that is true. Because if they read my PMs I would have been gone long ago. I have traded so many warez ftp IPs it's not even funny. Jokes on you AT! hehe

Actually, they have stated explicitly that they can and will read PM's if circumstances warrant it.

Viper GTS

Yep

i wonder if all the people who paid for a subscription would still have paid if they knew the mods would begin to start unreasonably censoring them and invading their privacy.

Yes, I had a sig they deemed inappropriate, and the email they sent got ate by my ISP and never got to me...so, thinking I was ignoring them, they banned me.

They've also told me to lay off of neffing a couple times during some ubar neffing sprees...but hey, we all know my posts are usually quite useful, helpful, and appropriate, right?!

RIGHT?!

:D

They found out cause I said in one of the posts, "PM me for the link", so it?s obvious I would be flooded with requests for the Brazilian soccer girls video. ;)

BTW Viper, I remember you banning. Was it because of the Sony girl?s pic?

Nah, not really. Just be tactful:)

I don't know why, but my question about trolls thread has been locked. I think you have to walk on eggshells.
In all probability it was locked because the answer is easily available via either a google search or a search of the thread archives here. The mods tend to lock redundant threads in order to keep bandwidth use down.

Not from here, but I was banned 6 times (same account) from SoftOCP and twice from Genmay. Both sites are run by amazingly crappy leaders.

I never saw a forum where you can get so much interaction in so short a time. I guess the price you pay is very strict moderation. Do any other forums meet this much traffic anywhere? I don't think so.

Hehe, some times mods don't catch everyone. I remember someone posted the lesbian scene in cruel intentions 2, linked to a smiley. It never got locked. :)

Never banned.

I put a really awesome ASCII middle finger in my sig at about 2 AM one morning and about 10 minutes later got an email from a mod telling me it was removed and not to put it back.

No, it was Viper's favorite goat porn. Some dude fscking a goat...that's all I remember.

Nope. I did have post deleted by the mods once though. It was in a joke thread and I guess it was a little too much.

LOL.. you asked for that one! :D

Yup, but it was kind of a misunderstanding.

The mods apparently thought I was mocking them by posting it again, this time explaining the meaning of "IBTL".

Truth is, I never saw their initial warning until it was too late. :(

No... Its softcore, IMO. Visible nudity (showing tits is nudity right? :)), and lesbo kiss would not go well with the mods.

Unless he downloaded it and kept the video. :Q ;) j/k!
