That first link isn't working for me; I'm guessing you might have just copied and pasted it from some old message or a previous post instead of grabbing the direct URL.

Look, Medeni, hitting the like button isn't some kind of aggressive move.

Peter Pan, just a heads-up that posts consisting of nothing but emojis can be flagged as spam, which means they’re actually subject to moderation.

🙂

Maybe try doing a quick Google search for an article about her? There might be some extra details in there that could help us track down the specific thread. If you can't quite remember where the discussion was hosted, maybe you can recall roughly when people were actually talking about it?

You've been banned because you're clearly just a clone of a user who's already been kicked off the platform.

For some people, it’s a massive deal, while for others, it doesn't mean a thing at all. It really just comes down to why the ban happened in the first place.

Manchild, honestly, you’ve racked up so many different kinds of penalties—everything from basic warnings to full bans and partial restrictions—all for basically doing the exact same thing over and over, that I truly don't get how you have the nerve to sit here asking for a warning first. When you've hit something like 2,000 (!!!!) individual warnings, there really isn't any point in trying to explain things to you anymore. If you still haven't grasped what’s against the rules on this forum, maybe it’s time to consider finding a different corner of the internet to hang out in. You can't expect the "slap on the wrist" warnings or the light penalties meant for newcomers and those who just make an honest mistake to apply to you. You aren't getting a pass out of the goodness of our hearts, and frankly, it feels like you might even have a bit of Stockholm Syndrome going on at this point, though even that's starting to wear thin. Just give it some thought.

I'm locking this thread. Cuka can jump back in if they feel it's absolutely necessary.

Sure thing.

Look, your ban is just for two days because of how those points have been stacking up. You didn't get hit with a 200-point penalty for breaking the rules; you only got 30. Whatever happened with your previous points is a whole different issue we'd need to look at separately.

I can't believe I'm even seeing this right now!

I gave it another nudge, sorry! You see, you really shouldn't take being ignored personally—actually, maybe we both should just learn to take it that way. 😬 If this approach doesn't work this time around, I might have to try a completely different tactic. 😁

rustymason82 said:rustydrifter10 I'm stuck with a full forum ban for 6 months. And there isn't a single day in there where I'd be allowed to post, just like what Niagara Falls is suggesting. Thanks a lot.

Alright, so you've been hit with a six-month ban from the entire forum. Just a heads up—during that time, you aren't allowed to use any alt accounts either. See you next year. 👋

dustyrider19 said:I’m gonna change my handle; I’m honestly just over using this nickname. I’ve still got three buddies on here, though. Thanks.

Look, if you're unhappy, just log off and stop posting—nobody is forcing you to be here. And just to be clear, we don't hand out permanent accounts just because someone asks.

Hey there.

Look, you've basically got two ways we can handle this:
1) A partial ban from the Gastronomy 6 months section. This means you won't be able to see that specific PDF while you're logged in, and obviously, you won't be able to post there either, but everything else on the forum stays wide open for you.
2) A full six-month ban from the entire forum. In this scenario, you can still browse the whole site and read everything while logged in, but you won't be able to post anything at all, and your private messaging will be disabled too.

James Chavez91 said:Just kidding. It's fine

🤣

Alright, Alexander Adams94, I went ahead and cleared those two partials for you, but just try to be a bit more careful moving forward! 🙂

I sent a message over to the moderators, but they probably haven't had a chance to peek at my request just yet.

You really have to look at the bigger picture here. Some of our community guidelines are pretty strict, while others give us a little more breathing room to be flexible with the criteria. It all comes down to context—like, what’s actually happening in the thread right now? Is this just one isolated incident, or is someone basically setting the whole board on fire? Plus, there's the human element to consider; if someone is generally a constructive member of the community and they just get pushed into a corner or provoked, I think it’s fair to give them a bit of grace. On the flip side, when someone walks in with the sole intention of being a troll and stirring up trouble, that's a completely different story.

Lawrence Phillips said:It’s honestly wild how they go after benign GIFs where you might catch a glimpse of some skin, yet they totally ignore all the trolling, the aggression, the hate speech, and the constant bickering happening everywhere.

Whatever, screw the GIFs—they're just symbols, I guess. If explicit content is really the issue, then fine, okay. But honestly? I highly doubt that's actually the problem.

I mean, just look at those dead threads being dragged back to life just so a tiny group of people can hang out and talk in circles—along with the moderator, too.

They really need to grow a pair and start cleaning up this trash.

If they even have the willpower to do it, that is.

The real kicker is the explicit content itself. Google is super strict about this stuff and they could definitely penalize us if we aren't careful. Even on an adult-oriented PDF, you can get away with some mild eroticism or nudity, but once you cross the line into full-on pornography, you're asking for trouble.

The line judge? Honestly, that’s such a crucial role, isn't it? It’s one of those positions where you can be absolutely perfect all day, but if you miss just one single call, suddenly everyone’s looking at you like you’re the villain in a movie. It takes a massive amount of focus to stay locked in for an entire match, especially when the crowd is getting loud or the players are starting to push back. You have to have nerves of steel and a really sharp eye to keep things fair. rustydrifter10 says:
Oh, absolutely, you bet! Honestly, I wasn't even looking for anything in return—you're awesome regardless! 5️⃣

Look who finally showed up! :D

I can't quite make sense of that one! It looks like a typo or maybe just some keyboard mash—did you mean to say something specific? If you were trying to get a point across or ask a question, go ahead and hit me again. I'm all ears and ready to chat once I know what we're talking about! rustydrifter10 says:
Seriously, just wipe this stuff about the speaker off the board—it’s getting ridiculous—and honestly, go ahead and delete my post too while you're at it. -.-

LOL! 😂

Look, the user was given a warning on their second post. If we were going to grade every single post individually based on how much someone "contributes," you’d be looking at a much rougher time than she is. Plus, there's the whole reaction thing to consider. She actually took her reprimand like a champ—she admitted she went overboard and offered an apology—whereas you just kept stirring the pot and causing headaches. You really ought to look at this from a different perspective, so maybe keep that in mind for next time.

No, we aren't moving it, but I’ll definitely give some thought to that leave you suggested. I need to sit down and really dig through your body of work first, and then I'll make a final call.
