Did you message any mods or use the contact us form?

Yes, then I got banned from messaging which made me feel bad like I was harassing you or something

i definitely feel like most of the time i'm infracted it's not even from the mods, it's just because someone uses the report button, and i nEVER use the report button. I feel like a lot of times it's just an over sensitive jerk that clicks report, and the mods feel like they HAVE to do something because it's reported, even though most people on this forum are mature enough not to use the report button.

Hey I'm mature... and I use the report button all the time.

So now you're blaming the people who may or may not report you?

Anything to avoid responsibility for your own actions, I see.

I clearly said many posts up that i take responsibility for 75% of my infractions. so don't say that i don't take any responsibility. i'm no angel, and never claimed to be. But i do think that just because i'm no angel doesn't mean it's okay to demonize me and i feel sometimes just because i do make mistakes, it means i'm not listened to and i'm unfairly treated SOMETIMES. not everytime, but sometimes.

I rarely use the report button, but when I do I feel it's totally justified. Don't see how that makes me immature?

I usually tone my posts down after getting an infraction.

I remember when I got my first infraction, I went on post strike for a good 10 minutes.

[lostalex]

i feel like reopening the forum for challenging infractions would not only make the infracted members feel better, but would also allow other members to understand the rules better. Isn;t the most important thing for all members to understand the rules better? that way they are less likely to break them.

[lostalex]

shouldn't you also admit that some mods were abusing their power. You must admit some mods did abuse their power... BEN.

[lostalex]

and let's also remember the GREAT members that were driven away from this forum because of unfair modding, like Jesus. we all know Jesus was a great member and added a lot to this forum, but because of unfair modding and being treated unfairly, he is no longer here.

Iirc Jesus left of his own accord and asked for his account to be deleted straight after he won most loved, he wasnt driven away at all

that's not what happened at all.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I only report Mods and admin and some days go by when I dont even do that

Spoiler:

Iv said this before I am sure

[lostalex]

repeated inappropriate language... but we have built in censors for that, they automatically censor obscene language, so why is anyone infracted for that if it;s censored automatically?

[lostalex]

I feel like the only way to truly solve this is to make me a TiBB Staff.

I feel like i'm the only one really qualified to judge infractions fairly.

[Tom4784]

I think one common misconception is that we choose to ban people, the only time we actively ban people is if we permaban them or put them on three month bans. The rest are automatic bans caused by people going over the limit of allotted infraction points. People rarely get banned for one thing, it's usually a build up that will lead to a ban.

When someone posts a comment... lets say.. they say.....

I hate cheese!!!

Now 100 forum members might agree with this comment or even laugh at that comment but another 100 might be totally offended by it simply because they love cheese and how dare the poster use the very harsh word HATE when describing cheese. Both sides are right to have their own opinion on it. Both sides agree to disagree with each other about it etc and more importantly niether side gets punished for it. The problem only arises when the 201st person reads this comment who just so happens to be a moderator. They have the power to take action for or against this comment depending on their own personal take on it. Unfortunately if that moderator is a cheese lover they will agree that this comment is in fact offensive to cheese and there is every chance that the original poster is getting an infraction for using the word HATE against cheese.
And all because they hate cheese and you don't.

Basically no. Nice try though.

If everyone acted like me nobody would be infracted #goodboy

[lostalex]

I think another thing i'll say about the "rules"... this forum used to be very sexual and no problem, now we are being constantly reminded that there are 13 y/o's all around us and everyone must act like we are primary school teachers...

This is a big brother forum, big brother is an adult program. there is even a warning at the beginning of the show now because people are so sensitive, it's an ADULT program. but we are expected to speak like we are talking to 13 y/o's all the time? i don't understand that.
