Give it a shot CFI, I bet they would let you back on. Maybe some sarcasm got mistaken as an attack.

The stickies are a sore subject with me, but the upside is that everyone who looks int here is confronted with the reality that the OP is gone... and asks why.

I wish I had destroyed the text... that would have fixed them.

So my C4 Tech and RPO FAQ are still there... as is my C4 Audio FAQ.

It does not make me happy...


Andy,

You should have Intellectual Rights to the information posted in the stickies! Get a lawyer to go after CF/IB for using your writtings without written permission. Make them pay for all the times it has recorded hits since your permaban took effect.

Technically I got "Moderated" I was able to read and access my PM's but not to post or edit without moderator approval.I tried posting but nothing ever got approved so I pm'd the admin with my previous. I was on "Moderation" till 1/31. Like I said his responce to me was "Apparently you cannot appreciate my sarcasm." In his next PM he refered to what I suppose was CFI as someone with a less than stellar reputation since you got banned and not Mike.

Mike did not get banned.

They have both. Pewter99 has a user name over here. Supermods can read your PM's. Nothing is safe.


Pewter99 is the guy that got me. Permaban. As you can tell from my posts, I'm really aggressive and opinionated!

I just don't think they care about or even want the C4 forum. It's just an annoyance, and C4 owners are just losers to them.

Bah.

I don't know if I can. The membership agreement there, IIRC, essentially states that they own it once I post it.

I should sit down and read it closer...

Hm... I wonder if it's worth pursuing?

Then again, the stickies, for good or for bad are there as advertizing for the Guru. It really gets into a grey area.

Also note, the window that presents this information, interestingly enough, is dark grey with black text. I really don't think they want us to read it.

It's a fact.
There's a guy over there that's from my area, he continually bated me, and got my goat. I didn't go profane, but traded barbs. He reported me, and *poof*. Not sure if I deserved it, (I don't think so), but it was handled with no class and lots of sarcasm by Pewter99.
The guy that reported me came over here and registered trying to get me annoyed here. You guys spanked him pretty good!

I want to say thanks for all the kind words from all of you, both in this thread and in PMs. Although I wasn't spending much time over there, I will now spend it here. I don't know yet if I will ask them for reconsideration or not. It is more the insult, the injustice, than the suffering of any punishment. It isn't as if I have no where else to go, yet. I consider it, as some here have said, their loss. I'm sure they see it as just the opposite.

I have to wonder about all the permabans mentioned here and why I wasn't one, long ago. And in reviewing the CF rules as posted, here, I wonder if they are required reading for the moderators? I wonder too, if the admins ever think of enforcing them with their mods? Who can possibly guess what might be in their minds.

The best to all here. Happy New Year. Thanks, and...

RACE ON!!!

Probably just dumb luck. The enforcement is very inconsistent. Catch a mod on a bad day, and it can be your last day.

it is also based on popularity.

Once scorp508 got on the wrong side of Sensei Earl, that was it. He didn't have to do much more than log in and he was fried.

He came and went from time to time.

He would get banned by Earl and be back in a week/month whatever.

It became a game. Then Earl was fired and that was that. Scorp never had another issue.

I really don't know what to think of CF anymore. They have become the most ban-happy forum there is. I think iron chef should be banned.

Wow.... I had no idea people were getting banned left and right over there like this. Thats too bad ! Somehow, over the years I have avoided even a warning, let alone a ban. I've been in a few debates over the years, so kind of surprises me knowing this.

With moderation, if they feel the need to ban somebody for a smart-ass remark or something along those lines, then in my opinion it should be done for just a very short-term along the lines of 3-7 days or something to that effect.... which is more along the lines of an appropriate cool-down period, especially if they have been long time valuable contributors like guys like CFI & Scorp.....Anything more and they are just sending the message we don't want you here and don't come back.

But, I dunno....

The problem? Moderation over there isn't administered with moderation.

Smart ass replies? One liners? Jeez... they don't even need to address that. But they do... with an iron fist.

I will never ban or suspend someone for being snarky. That would be hypocritical, really.

I think it's time to lock this thread... it's just dragging on and I don't want to rep of being a bash site. A lot of people have felt abandoned and burned by CF, so I let these naturally run their course. The course has been run... we are at Lake Itasca.

Until the next therapy session...

(sorry Blade...)
