How many people have been banned from other forums on here?

I find it stressful to conflict with others but I find it far more stressful to try to act according to everyone's rules of how people should act.

Well I think I totally misread what you were saying for the same reasons a lot of people misunderstood me. I read the conviction in what you were posting but I read it as judgment of Warsie instead of a strong feeling you had about what you were saying. People like us that tend to say things rather loudly, people attribute that to emotion, so they often think that we are really angry about something when we just have a lot of conviction about what we are saying. Does that even make any sense? lol I tried to describe it the best way possible. I have good intuition but sometimes it really does get mixed up with past experiences and just turn into complete paranoia. lol

About three. When my hot-headedness comes in contact with douchebaggyness, it's like a spark and dynamite.

heh. Okay. That is undersyandable.



Actually it's more likely theforce.net; they would be sticklers for that. You'd have to do it alot an have successively longer bans before u get permabanned. SDN is full of as*holes and one of the mods would probably flame you in PM; srsly.

Thats ok. It wasnt a judgement of Warsie, though it did definately have a strong emotional tone. I wanted to hear from him about what had happened there. The topic that was being discussed upsets me so that is why I responded in that way. Probably it would be good if I was a calmer person, but oh well....

Warsie, if it's that forum you showed me in what you posted before. I looked at it some more and they actually have an entire category devoted to bannings. lol It's like they are proud to ban people and they like to brag about it. I wonder how sad their lives truly are.

Well I'm not calm either. lol So I can't really judge you for not being calm.

Yes, the same board. Registered a THIRD account there lol. rarely post on there anyway.

There's also a hidden forum (have to register to see it, which isn't a good idea) where if they are "illogical" or don't argue correctly or are "stupid" or the like they move the thread there where the main point is to flame them so cinders. Yes

I looked at it the other day. It is a weird system that i have never seen before on a board. It appears that instead of the mods being able to ban, the mod has to put it to a vote system and ask all members. Though it seems democratic, I dont think that is a very good way to do this- it pretty much amounts to publicly humiliating the person who is to be banned.

A lot of us aspies are not known for our calmness.
Though my boyfriend is, he very rarely gets angry, he is sort of alexithymic and he doesnt react much to anything.

lol I thought I'd been on some whack forums on the net but geez!! !! That one takes the cake. They think they are gods because they get to decide who is banned from some forum.

Well I think thats worse than having too much emotion personally. But I guess I'm biased. My brother is AS and he's kinda like that. I've known other aspies like that too. I think if you are AS you either show too much emotion or not enough. lol

Nope, never.

No, BUT

I recently had a bad experience on a music-related forum where the main moderator mistakes herself for the Thought Police (and absolutey HATES emoticons BTW).

I was a recent addition to the fan community and had been trying hard to make meaningful contributions to the recently-launched Official Forum. (The new forum took the place of the previous forum which was on a completely fan-run website and only had rudimentary features.)

She never came out and outright flamed or banned me because she's so "mature," but she had no problems making innuendos about people who "need the attention." Another very sarcastic but apparently "mature" member (i.e. a sycophant of Queen of the Thought Police) had a few slaps for me, too.

The comments that hurt the most pertained to a musician that has played with the artist for a long time. I became a fan of his and started a thread in the "other music" section and posted a number of links, mostly to youtubes of his performances. Surely Queen of the Thought Police could have no objection, as long a I stayed out of her "territory," right?

Wrong! I had already pulled back my participation significantly, but the sychopant member made a snide remark on another thread about the forum being "All [artist's musician] all the time!" I ignored that remark, but the next time I posted to the "other music" thread, Queenie came along and bemoaned the fact that the youtube links I was posting reminded her of someone she didn't like and besides, "maybe this is why [artist's musician] doesn't have his own forum."

This made me just about explode because not only did she make it all about HER, and not anyone else lurking (by this time the thread had over 14,000 hits), but she dared to insinuate that the musician would find it objectionable too! Um, if he didn't want his artistic accomplishments noticed, he's in the wrong line of business, hun. That's what I FELT like saying.

My hands were really tied because ANY response would just have provoked her more, plus I'm sure she WANTED me to get mad at this point. I was NOT going to give her the satisfaction. Plus I was almost in full meltdown mode by this time - I LOVE music, and I felt like she had just stabbed me in the heart.

I went completely silent, as there was a series of concerts coming up, and I was going to attend one.

After the concert, no detailed report from me! Instead, after all of the concerts in my immediate area were over, I moved the links over to another forum that's run by a really nice person and posted my concert review THERE. Even though the forum is for a completely different kind of music, I gotta go where I feel the love, ya know?

Hope this helps.

That helps a lot and I am now over here because I didn't feel the love on these other forums. This is basically the only forum I'm on now.

I've been banned from lunchbox forums (eating disorder forum) they are a bunch of emo as*holes. They are very non supportive of eating disorders, they have a flame section and everything. They didn't like me because I was an aspie and they made fun of me for it so my boyfriend got on there and told off a mod and I got banned for it, stupid asses.
