Censoring is Ridiculous on Blueridgenow

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

They're responsible for all those idiotic ads that pop up on the right side of the screen. I have paid AdBlock, I don't see them.

I don't see them either. Just wondering how/why it views contro panel.

Now, here's a kicker. My friend rocky.broad, at my behest, signed in to see what was going on. After the spay/neuter uproarvin 2007/2008, she left and turned her attention to Raleigh. It's the only time she's signed in since the forum change. She didn't post anything. All of a sudden she got kicked off says her user name is banned.

When she tried to contact the admin, it bounced.

My brother, a former editor at the T-N said being banned is badge of honor. Be proud.

Interesting. When I saw the Administrator was online, i impulsively decided to write and ask him to remove my posts. When I tried to log in under k9nanny to get to the contact info, this came up:

You have been banned from this board until Sat Sep 29, 2012 10:35 am.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

Reason given for ban: Ignored repeated warnings of unacceptable behavior.

A ban has been issued on your username
.

No IP ban, no permanent ban. A fluke? We'll see.
And, man oh man, did I have an imperious rant all ready to send him. I was going to fax it if my email bounced like Trudy's did.

I'll save it for future use.

Check your email. ;) :lol:
I did. Check yours.
Need to try some other names that have been rejected.
Why would I be permanently banned, then put back on time out?

Isn't that regressive? :lol:

They are idiots.
It would appear that way.
The other names still say "permanently" banned.
The admin has been online quite a bit today, the mod, not so much.

Wow, if I saw this dude coming, I'd wonder if he was here to feed us or feed on us. One of
the few people you see and question whether he might weigh more than Chris Christie.

I get different messages too, sometimes your username is banned, sometimes your ip address
has been banned, sometimes nothing. Whatever.

I copied & pasted my post in the now deleted thread "I'm Tired of It All" and sent it to the Administrator
stating I wanted him to see the post and my comments directed to him before Moderator deleted it.

It's still in my sent box.

That one little kid looks as if he's about be swallowed into icky territory.
Hey- I'm not used to getting banned like all you reprobates!

Anybody else notice there's a big chunk of time missing? Goes from early morning to this evening.

Banni? Are you safe? I'd hate to think you got sucked down the cyber drain!

Looks like I wasn't banned, just all my posts deleted.... no warning or anything. Weird. Honestly, I have no idea how I haven't been banned! :lol:

I guess my comment back to the admin that they should probably delete all their own cheerleader pictures off their front page of blueridgenow wasn't taken so well.

Me and the admin got into it because they were doing the same as this idiot...the threads was called power drunk, cherry picking, and about two others. I laughed about it because my posts were quoted so much that it only showed they were trying to hide their actions ;)

I remember when cheerleaders wore letter sweaters, short skirts, and saddle shoes. Now they're a bunch of exhibitionists, appealing to lecherous dudes who couldn't give a crap about football.

Apparently it isn't just us the Times News is censoring: Link
The following papers have announced (or are mentioned in news articles as having announced) that they have pulled this week’s Doonesbury regarding Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound prior to having an abortion.
Blueridgenow made the cut.

Hi, guys. Ya miss me?

It just hasn't been the same without you. But I have gotten a lot more work done.

I had those two fake ID's. One got banned for a month for quoting Thorn and questioning why the mod didn't spank Thorn for saying those words.. The other got banned until December 2013 for quoting Thorn while substituting euphemisms for Thorn's words and questioning why the mod didn't spank Thorn. Then my Stinger ID got the permanent ban by IP address. That was about 10:00 p.m., so the mod was online then.

I opted not to do the proxy server because I didn't want to give them any reason to shut the forum down. There's really no reason for a newspaper to have them. They have to pay someone to moderate the forums, and they can get into legal entanglements depending on what's posted. Most of the papers in the old New York Times Regional Group abandoned the forums before they were sold to Halifax.

Someone please start a forum where I can call Thorn and Butt Ugly names.

why, Stinger. Of course we've missed you. Thorn has shown up here a couple of times as Colonel Taylor. (He must have a man crush on ol ' Charlie Heston.

We suspect that the administrator and his moderating sidekick visit here. Reckon that's why all Banni's posts disappeared, as he had the link to this site in his sig.

Welcome back,

I posted this at BRN at 2:05 am. How long will it last?

Why are these pictures fine for the front page and not for the forum?
