Forum Ban (Not PH)
Discussion
Going to give it a few days, But it would appear that if you discuss Islam and the
problems all hell seems to be let loose. I re-quoted an artical about the Burka
being banned in Belgium and reported in a National newspaper, together with the
Muslim chap who defaced the memorial to our soldiers and was let off. I received
an instant Ban. I suppose you can see how far control of what we say has grown.

I've been banned from a few. Always justified.
I've banned people from one, too. Sometimes a set up (goading is such fun). There's a story here, isn't there? So tell us.
Heh, foum goading is just like fishing. Get some good bait, be patient and wait for a bite I've banned people from one, too. Sometimes a set up (goading is such fun). There's a story here, isn't there? So tell us.
And I think I got banned from making comments inthe daily wail website last year! Was mainly arguing with every single thing they said.
I was right.

must have been a Islamic Fundalmentalist. Anyway I have asked for a refund.
Once got a 3 day suspension for breaking a rule I didn't see in the FAQ in the trading section.
Also got a 3 day ban for calling someone a prick who was basically slagging a dead soldier off for making spelling mistakes in a letter to his family which was to be sent in case of his death.
First one was fair enough second one I still don't agree with. Neither were on here.

I got so p155ed off with them that I asked for my membership funds returned. May have over reacted but
some of the forum members are great chaps just the moderators who seem to be the Jobs worth type with
nothing better to do. I think PH forum has also a better outlook on people expressing their feelings
in a fair manner.

Let me just get this clear; you're citing the fact that a moderator of a privately run forum has banned you from said forum as proof that censorship has increased? Did you read the rules of the forum? Do you realise that everything on that forum becomes their copyright and their responsibility under the law once you've submitted it? It's nothing to do with freedom of speech or expression or anything else. It's more like being in someone's house in many ways. If the owner doesn't agree with something you say, you can get chucked out.problems all hell seems to be let loose. I re-quoted an artical about the Burka

I've just been banned from one, mainly because the guy running it was too thick to understand banter and irony. He completely missed the whole 'tongue-in-cheek' aspect of the post and grabbed the wrong end of the stick.
No great loss, the forum wasn't amazing. As an admin on several places I've banned my fair share of users over the years, but only when really justified.

To run with the analogy of being in someone's home, I think there's a difference between sitting round the dinner table and calling the host's kid an ugly sod rather than simply having a disagreement regarding the type of fertilizer he's used on his lawn.
In a similar way you'd probably not get booted from his living room after letting one rip over a cup of coffee but you're bound to get a kick up the arse if you curl one out on his sofa.
I think it's a sad state of affairs that you can't always express your opinions on a forum in a sensible, structured manner simply because the forum moderator/s disagree with your POV.
