He just had his own unwritten rules and I don’t know what the business notion behind running these forums is, but I’d say there would be some fiscal rewards forthcoming for an admin. Why else would one feel so beholden to dubious COVID “misinformation” policy pro-boards has? You're still a dumbass who doesn't realize why this forum was never taken down by Proboards for violations of their COVID policy. And after almost six years, you still think I got paid for this? Not only did I never get a single nickel, I declined offers to sell it. Perhaps there's a hole in your tin foil hat. As for the rules, they were not unwritten. They were posted at the top of every board here for years and included this line: "If you're here to cause trouble, you will be removed regardless of whether or not you're following the rules. Loopholes will not work here."And then there are people like mystery who think they escaped a ban because I was unable to find a reason? lol. The ignorance in this thread is astounding, but the good news is that without me at the helm, you're all free to ruin it for everyone else... I'm just saying that if all someone is going to do is spam insults and antagonize, they can do it somewhere else. Generally speaking, if people like that are just allowed to roam free, it won't be long before people like that are all there is. That post was less than a month after V2 went live and remained just as valid almost six years later. @admin2 made it clear to me that she doesn't doesn't give a shit, so instead of chewing on sour grapes, the trolls should be celebrating. Happy New Year, assholes.

Someone who doesn’t follow the narrative of what you think is acceptable. Control issues much. You are the bully, only by authority and a pos. Thanks for the underscore.

@jcarter, in the instance I was referring to, you responded to me with something I told embers long ago when she was raging at me, so I thought you probably got that from going through my posting history. I truly have no grudges against you. Like I said, I know you had a tough job, and these boards were pretty much a total hatefest during the early days. I just wish more of the bans were temporary timeouts, rather than permanent.

I truly have no grudges against you. Like I said, I know you had a tough job, and these boards were pretty much a total hatefest during the early days. I just wish more of the bans were temporary timeouts, rather than permanent. I didn't go through your post history. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: "I do not police this forum looking for violations." If I wanted to ban you for arguing with me or whatever, I would have done so. But I was not that kind of admin. I don't even remember the instance you're talking about, and were you never on my radar. In fact, your name means nothing to me. No offense.

I don't post much, and I'm not a troublemaker, so there's no reason that I would be on your radar. I'll take your word for it, about not looking for violations. It really doesn't matter at this point anyway.

It really doesn't matter at this point anyway. Funny, it seemed to matter on page one. Are you aware that PB admins are free to ban any member of their forum for any reason, even if the reason is no reason? No need to scour through post histories. When you run a forum for several years, you start to see who the troublemakers are. With very few exceptions, no one was ever banned from here for a single post or incident. Only one was banned for personal reasons, and I admit that I shouldn't have done it. But again, it was only a mistake in the sense of running a fair forum, as opposed to one that actually serves the real purpose of Proboards. After all, if I had made it for friends and family, you would have never been here. Again, no offense intended. The members here I never noticed (and there are many) were what I called ideal posters. You were one of them, even despite some argument or disagreement that you and I may have had. Trolls got banned. That's all there is to it.

I was merely responding to the topic of the thread, but it's not something that I was ever upset about. It sounds like you never enjoyed being the admin, so it's probably good that you decided to pass the baton to someone else. If a job makes you stressed out and miserable, then it's probably not worth the aggravation. I hope you enjoy your New Year, free from all the forum dramas.

@jcarter It's okay, John. I forgive you. And John says: Not you, stupid! As for you, COVID violations (and sometimes violators) we not removed to protect the sissies here or whatever bullshit you conspiracy nutbags dream up. PB basically said that if they weren't removed, they would shut the forum down. And as I recently told someone else, I didn't keep this place alive for people like you. What I did do, however, was find what I thought was a good middle ground: COVID violations that were reported locally to me were simply removed; violations reported to Proboards that resulted in them sending me a warning were removed along with the violator. (Goz took advantage of that, by the way.) Whether or not it was actually misinformation was irrelevant. If PB said it was a violation of their policy, then I considered it a violation of their policy. It was really the only way to deal with the situation given their complete lack of response to my emails asking them to clarify what does and doesn't break their rules. Here's one of them, sent August 4, 2020: No response. I did what I could in the fairest way I could think of, and so I'm not sorry you were banned for being a total idiot who thought he was entitled to use someone else's microphone to spew his bullshit.

Like so many others before you, you think my objectivity somehow translates to a bad attitude. Next time I say 2+2=4, I'll be sure to include a smiley face. Thanks! You do the same.

Okay, here's the way I remember it, and I'm not saying it's perfect. Someone (I don't remember who, but it was one of those lefty slimebags who wanted me struck down) asked you why I hadn't been banned yet. You told this someone that I was not telling people that they shouldn't wear masks as Inconceivable had done. Ergo, I was determined to not go out like Inconceivable did, so when I posted my "conspiracy theories" I told everyone by all means wear your masks. The last covid-related thing I remember posting was a meme with the Statue of Liberty wearing a mask and telling people to stay safe. I thought I could not possibly go wrong with that. Next thing I knew I was locked out. But like mystery said earlier, no grudges. It's done now, and I'm not angry about it anymore. Bygones are bygones.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but she hasn't posted here since. And to this day, both of these issues are still somewhat of a bone of contention between us. My point, you ask? You don't know what you're talking about. All you have are rumors perpetuated by your FB friends.

But I still prefer to ignore people the old fashioned way. After all, you can't ignore what you don't see.

I was banned because the administrator didn't like my opinion. I broke no rules. And ProBoards Support said I broke no rules.

I was banned because the administrator didn't like my opinion. That is incorrect. If I had ever started banning people because I didn't like their opinions, your name would not have been at the top of the list. Let me put it another way: Do you really think I agree with the opinions of every member here who was never banned? Get over yourself.
