Why was I banned?

Very good, Sam, I couldn't have said it better myself.

However, I do have a question, is an email sent to the individual once they have been banned? It would seem to be one easy way of letting the individual know that he has been banned, why and for how long.

Yes it is Kim. And yes they do get emails. Often the claim they never got one or that account is old and they never check it etc etc....

Sometimes we take into account the use of the filtered word. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen vacuum mispelled and va*** results! In some cases people type in the ***** ! Not even the filter! Just so they will not curse is the logic!!! :) I also let slide the use of the term for a small donkey if its not used to flame or put someone down. That one I find mild and its the intent we are looking for and repeatabiltiy that curse words are used on.

One thing here I seem to hear all the time is that YOU see people getting away with it. Well I ask; How do you know that? Many times you see a few ***'s and I hear from people who assume we let it go. And they complain that we didn't do anything. Unbeknown to you that person most likely got a private reminder. We do not always comment on the tread and often folks get emails and pms on things that the rest of you never know about. Be carefull what you assume.

cphillip said if u clear ur cookie,u can read everything,but that never works for me...

i guess you can get a friend to come on and see how long it is,or try for the chatroom,but ull be most likely kicked.

also...about circumventing the cuss filters....would "arse",or other words of the like,be bad?


no one needs to cuss anyway,whats wrong with saying butt?

Clearing your cookies would work because you aren't logged in anymore. You just can't log in to post and whatnot.

Thank you, Phil. I can only imagine how many times you do hear that someone did not receive the email. It is easier to blame everyone else than to take responsibility for ones own actions.

I agree that people should not assume that nothing was done when in fact something may have been. Of course, my thought on the whole thing is that if people didn't find it necessary to curse we wouldn't be having this conversation anyway. :)

I vote for the former. Somebody made the original mistake of making something Idiot Proof. Of course the natural follow up to that is they started making better idiots. It's a vicious circle.

It's CURSING, not CUSSING! Get it right.
