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.

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?

It was a great picture of Bin Laden copulating a donkey.

The mod said it had warned me the previous week against "posting such filth," but there were no e-mails sent to my registered e-mail address, no PM's, and no message edits that I ever found (nor did they ever provide me with a link to such edit.

Up until that point I had supported the mods completely, but they lost 100% of my respect after that.

I have yet to be banned or warned. I have only had 2 threads locked, and one I pretty much new was going to get locked because it was a huge insult to Jerboy. I must have blocked it out, because I don't remember what it was. He was the only guy I did not get along with.

I used to back the Mods, giving them tons of respect, trying to make their jobs easier, but when they banned the use of "to forcefully insert an object into someone" they lost a little, but I was going to give them the benifit of the doubt. Then when the topic in FI on the issue of the banning of that word was locked, then deleted, I lost all respect. As far as I am concerned they are a bunch of power hungry dolts that act like little children. I hope they all get their space bar thumbs chopped off by an erant rail gun bolt fired by accident from Fermi Lab.

I've been banned twice (2 week vacation each). I think the first time was for posting a coupon in HD and the other because of posting links to get "cheap PS2 games"

Better watch out bud. They ban you for calling them idiots. ;)

BTW, I agree about banning the word "to forcefully insert an object into someone". It would have died out like the russian comments.
