Phew- I was getting paranoid!
Wonder if NCR will get paddled for typing pissed. Is that profanity? Would it be "implied" profanity if it were spelled pi$$ed?

Does your "authority" include complete censorship of people of differing opinions or political opinions you disagree with?
This seems to be the route you've taken. Banning someone for "questioning the authority of forum staff" does not appear in
the Rules and Regulations as set forth by the Forums Administarator.

"Forum Rules and Policies"

You state your goal is to make the forums suitable for children to read; how many children do you think actually read the forums;
or even the newspaper for that matter? If this isn't Facebook, twitbook or whatever, they're not interested.

Is what we write in the forums any worse than the NDN videos the online version of the T/N has plastered on the home page?

Let's see...there's these few videos:
Kim Kardashian's see-thru top....
What is Brit-Brit wearing?.....
Emma Watson dirty dances.....
Clooney's GF's Not-so-subtle hint......
and not to mention to occasional NFL Cheerleaders photos.

If you feel banning me for pointing this out, then you do what your "high authority" self tells you to do; I don't give a rodents posterior.

I'm sure you were my dear!!!!

Well if Mother Theresa had already been declared a saint, I bet they wouldn't delete her post.
I find it hard to believe they would have a partisan like nascar, or any of us, acting as a
moderator. Whoever it is, it's a recent crackdown, get tough approach. This guy belongs
back in the Victorian era. Complete nitwit.

[k9nanny]

It's only logical to think nascar is connected. My first warning (disparaging comments) was linked to a back-and -forth with him.

Nice one. I do believe you out logic'd him nicely. Don't forget the topless Kate stories!

[tpfka Bungalow Bill]

I guess anything is possible, but I'm still a little skeptical. Now, if it was due to him having a
quick trigger finger on the report button, that's very believable. I just think this new censor,
for whatever reason, is censoring stuff that before he showed up was both acceptable and
generally harmless. As for the official rules, heck they're going to delete things rules or
not.

Information

You have been banned from this board until Sun Sep 30, 2012 7:31 pm.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

Reason given for ban: Warning ignored. We reserve the right to remove the posting

A ban has been issued on your username.

The ignorant dipstick has struck again! (am I allowed to say that here? who do I contact for proper permissions?)

True, however one does expect a news organization to hold itself to a slightly higher standard of free speech.

Been wondering where you were at Bungalow... didn't realized you'd been banned!

[bannination]

Well, there goes another of my posts deleted by the moderator. I believe he took out one of DooHickey's as well.

OOPS, looks like I got another warning too.

~V~, that stuff we discussed earlier about specific threads disappearing..... I've changed my mind... yeah it could happen, but it is looking more and more purposeful.

[k9nanny]

You can check out this thread:

If nascar isn't a mod, he's certainly has a symbiotic relationship with same.

Maybe someone should bump that thread and see if it gets locked.

[k9nanny]

Never mind. Already locked.

That sounds ridiculously like our new moderator. I've noticed nascarfan88 has been notably silent lately.

Also, for most your IP address changes occasionally. It might be blocked today, unblocked tomorrow.

Plus, there are ways to change your IP address without using a proxy. Google it.

Everytime the block an IP they risk blocking other peoples.... If they've actually went that far to keep you off the forum...

You know, I'm surprised they haven't banned me yet just for putting this site in my signature.

There's just nothing like being a "new" placebo. Don't know what happened in the old forum; seems things went haywire for sure....such indiscriminate Nazi type censorship....I was admonished once for posting "fake" profanity such as @##$% off and %@##$ you....that sort of thing. I even deleted my own post as a courtesy....this was about ten days or so ago. I myself think anyone should be able to say anything they want, just like I think those Tour de France guys should be able to do as much as and as big a variety of performance enhancing substances as they can manage to get their hands on. How else can you know who the best rider is? Gee.....

I was going to sign up; but what would be the use? Sounds as though the T/N Moderator lives here too.

[neoplacebo]

I didn't read any of that stuff until now, but it looks like the scheme is to have us all be sending our comments through some sort of foreign computer server setup in order for it to be legal for the government to eavesdrop on our activities online....which law was just recently extended. How convenient that the Nazi forum moderator appears at this time as well. They must think we're stupid. Well, the hell with them I say. Spy on me all you want, pancake head. I'm not worried in the least, as I have read all of the Mad magazine Spy vs Spy cartoons, and know just what to expect. Those treacherous bastards.....
