I got permabanned from the rec league

Tyler Ross86 said:And that rule about not using a second account while your main one is banned... they’d catch onto me instantly—if not right away, then definitely once I start posting my progress photos, what I’m eating, which days I hit the gym... anyway, I’m gonna give it a shot.

Man, 🙂
don't go announcing it like that, for heaven's sake 😲
just ask some friends how to set up a new handle without getting flagged by an IP trace... goodness, I don't need to end up getting banned again too.🙂

Look, the admins aren't some kind of psychic police force here; all they can really see is a dynamic IP address 🙂 and an email address 🙂

I know everything there is to know about Austin Gonzalez13... honestly, I just don't give a damn anymore. It’s not like anyone over there actually gets true freedom of speech or the right to say what they want if they aren't part of the local crowd anyway...

The mods don't give a single damn when people actually bother to speak up about stuff that matters... I mean, seriously, a few days ago I stepped up and politely offered to just step in and organize all the most important info myself—you know, make the main thread actually look like something coherent, keep things easy to navigate, stop the same damn questions from being asked over and over, and basically centralize all the answers in one spot. But nope... they couldn't even be bothered to give me a response. I was coming from a good place, trying to help, and instead, they hit me with a ban. Honestly, you wouldn't believe the kind of people running the show behind those usernames

Jerry, look—I actually moderate a different forum elsewhere, and if things were up to me, half of this thread would already be deleted and everyone would be swimming in warnings! Honestly, how did you manage to mess up that recreation so badly? I personally felt cheated in my own corner of the site because Deedy was playing dirty. On top of that, Layla is actually a solid moderator, though I have to ask—where was your common sense when you were out there pushing that 40 kg mass 🙏? Because let’s be real: sometimes you're basically advocating for being skin and bones to the point of anorexia! That's just the truth.

There's really no point in dragging this out any further since we're just spinning our wheels at a dead end, so moderators, feel free to just lock this thread down!

And why did you get banned, goldenfox24?

Look, I’m not out here out here acting like some kind of Amazon spokesperson or anything. Honestly, back in the day, I used to be way more aggressive about defending their look—like, I’d go to bat for those scrawny builds—but I realized pretty quickly that it was a total waste of breath, so I just checked out. What I was actually getting at with my last comment to that lovely lady was already laid out right at the top of this thread, so it’s got absolutely nothing to do with what you're implying.

It’d be a damn sight better if the recreation sub actually had more people chiming in who aren't part of that specific clique—you know, the one that turned the whole thing into their own private little chat room... which basically trashed the entire sub just like Pilatus pointed out...

Henry Cox78 said:So, what exactly did you do to earn that permanent ban, goldenfox24?

The moderator accused me of being provocative, making threats, and just straight-up trolling—though, honestly, most of my energy went into the private chats.

edit: Jerry, look, just stop fighting it—the ban is set in stone at this point. There’s no use complaining; besides, there are plenty of other corners of the internet to hang out in if you're looking for a place to vent.

goldenfox24 said:edit: Tyler Ross86, man, just stop fighting it. You got hit with the ban, it's over, just drop it. Stop whining—honestly, you've got plenty of other corners of this site to hang out in if you're so desperate to post somewhere else.

Look, even regarding what you said: 👍 I guess it’s just my own twisted masochism at this point—I still want to be part of that group even though I know exactly what kind of toxic mess that sub-forum is, and I know exactly how they treat me... instead of just slamming the door and walking away for good. 🙄

Seriously though, I feel like I just escaped a literal concentration camp. 😍 😍 😍 I am never setting foot back in that hellhole again. 👋 Huge shoutout to the few people in that crowd I actually got along with. 👋

goldenfox24 said:Look, Željkec, I serve as a moderator on another forum, and if it were up to me, half of this thread would already be deleted and there'd be enough warnings handed out to fill a stadium. I took a hit during my last session, just like I got screwed over in the men's corner by Deedy, who was playing dirty. Furthermore, Lyla is actually a solid moderator, so where was your common sense when you were out there preaching about a 40 kg body mass? 🙏 The truth is, sometimes you’re basically advocating for being skin and bones to the point of anorexia!

There is zero point in continuing this discussion because we're just spinning our wheels at a dead end. Moderators, feel free to lock this thread whenever you want!

😂

this is pure insanity,

what an absolute display of stupidity... 😂

I just found out today that mods actually have the power to snoop through everyone's private messages. Honestly, it didn't even cross my mind—I mean, what kind of massive overreach is that? Seriously, if they're going to act like that, we should just rename this whole thing the PAMM (Private And Mod Message) board or something.

Tyler Ross86 said:So I just found out today that mods can actually peek at people's private messages on the forum. It didn't even cross my mind, honestly... I mean, I have zero clue why they'd even need that kind of power... if anything, the role should be called PAMM—Private And Mod Message, I guess.

🤣

Yeah, yeah, and it’s not just the PMs either. 🙄
They get everything—your registered email, heck, they probably read your postcards too... Supermods can even intercept physical mail as long as it isn't in an official US envelope (those are a pain to reseal once you rip 'em open), and admins? Man, they probably know your exact bank balance too. :conspiracy:

they're digging through. Everything—your registration email, heck, even your physical mail if you sent any—they’re reading all of it... Supermods can probably even intercept your letters as long as they aren't in those fancy heavy-duty padded envelopes (those things are a nightmare to reseal once you crack 'em open), and the admins? They probably know your bank balance too. It's a total conspiracy.

The Mods are watching us from every corner 😱 and they're basically immortal 😁
I honestly hope that one day we can just replace the mods with cyborgs—cold, calculating, and actually precise 🙏 🙏

I already suspected they might peek at the email you used to sign up, but having them read your PMs 😕? Man, okay. I get there being a ton of different reasons for stuff like this, but it feels like privacy is dead right from step one, and honestly, that kind of caught me off guard.

I just can't seem to get through 😉

Tyler Ross86 said:I just found out today that the mods actually have the ability to read everyone's private messages on this forum...

well, that's literally what we get paid for ☕

I went ahead and threw some stuff in my first post just to be safe, so people can take a look... 😉

gentlestag2 said:I figured I'd throw some gear in the first post just to be safe, let them look. 😉

Who did you send it to? 🤣

just ask Katherine 😉

Seriously, what's the problem? It's not like you guys are getting any compliments or anything. Honestly, massive props to whoever is actually cutting you checks 🙏 Given how many people are constantly begging for a mod spot, they should probably be paying Anderson just to deal with them.

gentlestag2 said:I threw some stuff in my first post just to be safe, so let 'em look 😉

I’ve got a whole stash of perfectly lovely messages saved up 😍 Let them read through it all
Can you even imagine snooping through someone else's private messages? I'd be dying of embarrassment, but I bet this crowd is absolutely loving it—total gossip squad vibes...

By the way, did you manage to get a hold of any of the admins? I'm curious if anyone actually looked into the "Lyla" situation...
