I'm banned for the same reason, but until 2:00pm.

The funny thing is, I don't post as much in the bar threads as the others do. However, I did post in the Forgiveness thread, and I'm guessing someone complained about my post.

Exactly. Like I said in another thread, when I was a mod, there were strict rules on the moderators. We were not allowed to ban, unless someone clearly broke a rule. Hostile or attacking type posts were against the rules, so on those old boards, if folks were constantly "feuding", the correct moderation response was to wait for a "feuder" to post something nasty and ad hominem, and ban them for a day. Second offense by the same poster would get you 2-3 days. Third offense a week. Generally, folks would get the message pretty quickly, and stop the bullshit.

I didn't post in any of the bar threads either, in fact, I haven't posted in any bar threads over there in close to two years. So clearly, this little hissy fit is not directed at the "bar crowd". I did post in the "forgiveness" thread, but it didn't have anything to do with any ongoing "feud".

Obviously, IB cares to a certain extent. Lower traffic = lower revenue for them. The fact that they changed responses from banning anyone who was seen to be "defying" the "no bar threads, or anything we think looks like a bar thread", like the "Hey where did everyone go?" thread, to simply locking and boneyarding further threads they didn't like, like the "Bar Mitzvah" thread without banning the OP, indicates that the IB administration likely told them to stop banning everyone, especially those who didn't violate any posted rule.

Simply ask one of the Mods. I'm sure they would accommodate you.

Not banned, but the other place is a shell without the usual clowns.

The bar threads were fine until certain people came in and stirred up shit. Look at the threads here...rarely shit stirred...fun bantering but rarely irritating.

They don't. None of the moderator/admin staff has a personal stake in the traffic/ad revenue over there.

Their thinking is new people will come along and if OT is neutered then all the better.
