As you know, several bans were lifted a few weeks ago. I assume the old Admin had his reasons for banning of people en masse. The list of rules was taken down as well.
I was banned for getting a little too heated argument with another poster.
So why were you banned?

I really didn't see myself being any harsher than those posters and obvious trolls and/or other posters who were dealing with those same posters.

I was never given a reason, and I'll probably never know, but I checked covid conspiracy theories because others were being banned for it at around the same time, and it really didn't take much. Also, there was a troll on Politics using the name egg white omelet, or something like that, and I spoke to him rather roughly just before it happened, so it might have been that instead, or a combination of the two.

I do find it weird that both of my accounts that had been banned had their last posts/arguments with the same poster... who, it appears was never banned.

The Admin mentioned Covid in a since deleted post as the reason, but the arguing could have been the reason as well. It seems a few people were banned for getting in to a heated argument with others.

I was a bully according to JC and he thought his posters needed nannying, as though they couldn't argue and stand up for themselves. He was trying to protect them. Awwww! How sweet of him. I also wouldn't take his shit regarding his sucking up to pro-boards and its bullshit covid "misinformation" policy, so I told him where to get off. Toasted Cheese......the bully. Searching back through the dark crevices of my alcohol-abused brain, I definitely remember that you were quite vocal against the establishment's fear-based approach to covid. Possibly that was the real reason, and your bullying of other posters was the excuse? It's possible, yes?

I have a question. When somebody is banned is it for a certain period of time or is the ban permanent?

I have noticed that the permanent bans erase a person's history, the ones Adnin did don't.

Back in the day it happened all the time. I got doxed by Goz and absolutely nothing was done about it. Then overnight, doxing was one of the most serious crimes. Maybe someone who was doxed raised enough sand about it to get them to start enforcing that rule.

I think I came thisclose to a ban once. I made a comment to him while he was pissed off and banning a bunch of people, and he took it the wrong way, and I'm pretty sure he combed through all of my posts looking for a reason to ban me. But, I usually keep my cool even on Politics, so I guess he didn't find anything.

Other deletions caused account erasure. Self deletion caused content erasure. What I mean by content erasure was that a person's name by a post was eliminated. Sometime a post was deleted. I'm sorry about Goz. I noticed that she hasn't posted since Sept 2021, so she too was one of the Covid era bans.

JC even banned people at one stage that his object of lust told him too, somebodywicked, like moonchild and they didn't even do anything wrong. He's shacked up now with her apparently. Whatever his intentions were, he's still lurking on here or so he claims, they were not the best of intentions. It seems Gameboy was last on this board 29 Apr 22. He has no posts registered to him, so it could be a perm ban.

If that is part of the reason, then he shouldn't have been administering a board based around his own incompetence, mismanagement and taking things so personally. He decided he wanted a cleaner and more pleasant posting style I'd say, so cut off his nose to spite his own controlling and condescending face.
He seemed sensible for the first few years, then in the fall of 2020 there was an unusually high amount of account suspensions for the next two years. He might have taken on the role of Admin not realizing the amount of work involved.

But, I usually keep my cool even on Politics, so I guess he didn't find anything. That is the thing, he got the hairs on his back all pricked up if one questioned his reasoning and authority, so he would seek out a revenge. He would be the kind of guy that doesn't care for his own game, when played back on him, which only proves what a transparent hypocrite he is. Well, I'm sure it's a frustrating and thankless job. Some people report others constantly and can't deal with opposing opinions without going into meltdown, and I can see how that would wear on you after a while. It's nice to see all the banned posters back, though. The boards were way too quiet, and you guys were certainly missed.
