Scottie, I agree. We're treated like children here, it's ridiculous.

Yes we are.

But...we also have a lot of self appointed board police/monitors who go out of their way to report anything they THINK shouldn't be posted......those report happy posters are a large part of the problem around here.

ITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and not only that, there are those that target posters they don't like.

Indeed.

We are treated like children because some posters act like children. We have the tattle-tales, we have the know-it-alls, we have the ones that post juvenile pictures, we have those that won't let others play, we have the mean girls, etc.

Ford you being banned is my shock for this day. I love reading what you have to say on here and I can't imagine that they would ban you. You always post so informative and interesting topics. Don't be afraid we are all here for you and we would come and rescue you.

Ford, are you still here?

Did you contact the Q Social Team through that link in the box you saw when you were blocked? Did you tell them what happened?

Questions:

1.............How do you know you're banned?

Can't sign on?

2.............How do you get back on?

Call 1800 345-1212?

Need to know just in case.........{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

The past few days I KNOW my posts are what knocked down whole threads.

But I NEVER 'go there' until someone else already has.

So it's only a matter of time before they'll just eliminate me altogether.{#emotions_dlg.w00t}

I'll survive, but I do like reading (some) threads and posting on (some) threads.

And I couldn't be more proud of my stance and why I'll probably be banned.Kiss

That should NEVER have happened to you Ford

So glad that you are back here with all of your interesting threads.

I don't post often but read a lot!

Well, it makes me sad that there is a "new banned word" and we're all ignorant of it, well, except for you Ford!

A list of banned words might be nice to have. Forewarned is forearmed.

Just think about the current state of the world and it will come to you. It's four letters.

As we've all noticed this board has software that rejects certain words of their choosing....so if we use a forbidden word and we try to post, we get a rejection screen and a note in red that the "certain word" is not allowed.......Ford, if the word used actually went through, then you or any of us would have no idea it was verboten....IMO that is an unfair reason to ban someone because it's basically punishing a poster for not being a mind reader......HOWEVER, you say above that your post/thread was about "the current state of the world"? ......in that case your temporary banning was probably more due to breaking the standard that says "do not post messages that are political or controversial in nature...." so it's my opinion Ford that you were treated unfairly and misled into thinking that the use of a particular word which WENT THROUGH was the cause for your banning.......I am glad you were reinstated and don't think you should be afraid to post......why put a burden on yourself like that?...this place is supposed to be fun......Smiley Happy
