Btw, although it wasn't me the one who got you banned, i believe there are enough reasons to do it.

It's not a secret some members are trying to sabotage S&M by exploiting the rules while they are not finally set. Some other members are falling for it and getting into the game.

To all this people, you're free to do it but the moderation is also free to lock, move and delete any thread, and to warn or ban any member not respecting the rules in this moment of change.

.. and there it is. I would reiterate that anyone participating in the SM&P forum over the next couple weeks TREAD LIGHTLY until all of the forum guidelines are made clear and understood. One of the principle reasons for splitting S&P was because of unwanted confrontation, jives, jokes, mocking behavior, etc... so while I can understand why some of you may want to poke some (easy) fun at the new forum, it will not be taken kindly as we are really trying to find some sort of balance and provocation will not help any of us.

And I would suggest WARNING people who cross vague lines... before banning them.

We're ALL learning to get along in the NEW forums, and the rules are still being looked at... "Tread lightly" is good advice for the Public AND the Staff.

Wiccan_Seeker was online earlier. So was MAIA. Shroomism already said he had nothing to do with it, so it's one of those two, and they're not talking.


Any moderator or admin can forum ban someone.

Where is the intention to ridicule? What beliefs am I mocking in this play on words?

Paradigm, subjective rules CAN be interpreted subjectively, but you SHOULD'VE been warned first. I knew you meant no harm with your post... but someone missed your point.

And since I'm in "skeptic" crowd, you automatically assume I am part of this conspiracy? I was enthusiastic about this new forum being created. I had all kind of ideas about spiritual topics I could post. I also assumed that humor was allowed, not being aware that since I'm a skeptic, my humor is automatically assumed to be malicious. Get over yourself! I am not part of some great big conspiracy to undermine your forum. I represent myself alone, and I am committed to making this new forum work as much as you are. However, I don't appreciate always being second-guessed and under suspicion just because I'm "one of them"(we're all one, btw).

yeah, really, that wasn't even racist really.
it wasn't that funny.
it CERTAINLY diddnt riducule.
it was a yuk-yuk groaner.
it was non-specific, and only self-targeted.

basically, taking the idea of alien abductions and suggesting that the aileans were the kind from another country. and OH MY GOD, had DARK skin and spoke a foreign tounge! OH thats a banning! how dare he say such a thing.
its disrespectful to illegal aleins, it makes ligfht of REAL interstellar races that visit our planet and abduct us LEGITIMATELY. and most importantly, it humiliated the original poster, poor guy, now EVRYBODY is going to fill his posts with bad humor!!!

paradigm got off easy PERMABAN!



/sarcasm

ps, please dont ban me.

And that's all I ask. With a warning, I have the chance to explain myself before being unjustly outed from the forum by people suspicious of my motives. Just like a warning I got recently from Learyfan in the Pub over some put-downs me and RandalFlagg exchanged. He gave me a warning, so I had a fair chance to explain to him that we were just ribbing on each other and that it was all meant in a playful manner. Learyfan acknowledged my explanation, so the warning is retracted. If he had behaved like the mod did in this situation, I would currently be banned from the Pub over some nonsense, just like the nonsense I'm being banned for here.

Sux to be you...

BUT, I know this is EXACTLY the type of drama The Staff wishes to put an end to, in (S&)P.

I actually have faith this will work itself out.

Sorry it had to be you, this time, but at least you are capable of expressing yourself w/o getting TOO upset.

:wink:

Meanwhile, you've got PLENTY of time to make a case. :tongue:

What I'd like to know, is why Swami isn't allowed in the Philosophy forum. Instead, he's permitted in the S&M forum... How ironic, and quite frankly, ridiculous.

Mods? Admins?

Yes, I've tried to handle this in a more mature fashion than how I was dealt with, but that still leaves me with being unjustly banned from a forum I wish to participate in. I've already made my case as far as I can tell, yet I'm still banned. It would at least be helpful to know the duration of my ban. For all I know, I could be permabanned from that forum until some mod or admin comes to their senses and lets me back in. And it's not like I want to go there just to stir up trouble, though I'm sure that's what certain moderators would like to believe. I'm actually genuinely interested in posting on spiritual topics which I feel would be better suited for that forum than for the Philosophy forum. But because I'm from the "skeptic" camp(even though I believe in things like chi or the Tao or karma), my motives are always second-guessed by those who so proudly think of themselves as "seekers," and view people like me as barbarians at the gates. At the very least, I'd like to be let back in that forum with the warning I should have gotten instead of the ban.

Paradigm's ban should be lifted since he was banned without a warning first.

You aren't banned from the Pub. Stop making up crazy stories, butterfly.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.
