I got banned from ASF for calling out PSL/Z and their scams and also for giving Trumpers shit in their Pit (anything goes subforum)While it’s been many years I have been banned from at least a dozen over the years. Mostly for calling out scammers or staff that support scammers.
True story. No regrets.One day I was feeding poor and spreading the gospel in the chat here, and @CJ came in reeking of alcohol and looking disheveled. He became belligerent and auctioned off 1 free ban to anyone (probably for sexual favors).
I was utterly shocked when @TomJ chose to ban me.
In a flash, my life was changed. Banished from my home.
I'm not saying to turn them both green, but I mean...that's totally green behavior....maybe pink. Mauve. Yeah...make it mauve.
Yup, they have all become badges of honor. You go through the all shit forums until you find a decent one, and here we are.Yes. I'm better off for it.
Why a baby? That didn’t seem wrong to you? Wtf. A little common sense goes a long way you know.Not banned, but related. I'll share a story with few details that I recently shared with a couple members in the shout box.
I'm a member of an atv forum. I have been for 15 years. I drive across the country multiple times a year to meet some of the members who have become great friends. I am an 'OG member'.
A few weeks ago a political thread started about Biden. Much like the political threads here. A newish member, but donating member with privileges, started name calling and getting mad, much like in threads here. He began making memes including the names and faces of some members who were contributing to the thread. He got the faces from pictures taken at group rides.
I was a little frustrated with this member so I found him on facebook and used his picture to photoshop his face on multiple pictures making fun of him. One of the pictures was a picture of a naked baby peeing that I got from google.
On Thursday my supervisor showed up to my office and pulled out his phone. He showed me an email someone sent to my employer's public comments division. The email contained screen shots from that forum's shout box and threads, listed my full name, and claimed that I was storing child pornography on my devices.
It is a big deal, and I may lose my job.
I am sharing this because I have always been open in participating in political discussions and posting pictures. I just want everyone to be careful because I have certainly learned a lesson.
However, I definitely feel safer on this forum than I do that atv forum. After speaking to the owner of that forum on the phone, he has declined to ban that member and said it was my own fault. That is frustrating and I have cut ties with that forum after 20k posts even though I realize I was careless.
