If I'm allowed to ask ... about banning

[Kyoko_desu]

To the person who banned CC1-san

Could you please kindly explain me the reason you banned him? Although he had already said he would leave the forum, you still thought you should ban him ... What is the reason? You didn't want him to post the "one post" he said he would send here when he would have finished his website? If so, why? You thought it would be a spam?


By the way, does anyone know the URL of the forum he mentioned in his last post?

CC1-san said
Luckily my favorite forum about Japan has recently opened back up and I am no longer needed here!

Thank you very much in advance.

 

[miki78]

Banned CC1 for what he didn't do anything

This is ridiculous

To be honest Kyoko_desu i got a horrible feeling nobody is going to have a good answer to that question

And a big hope they have

 

[thistle]

I didn't see the last post CC1 posted, is that all he said.

I do know the forum he is talking about, Kyoko, but will pm it to you later.

 

[Revenant]

Not up to date on all the going on here, but CC1 doesn't seem the kind of guy who is ban worthy. I'l also interested in that other forum.

 

[Mike Cash]

As would I. PM the url my way too, please.

 

[Davey]

I wish that I could post a useful message now, but I can't!

Sorry for the trouble, and the things that has been going on, that's all I can say.

It's just a guess but this may only be a temporary ban until the situation is relatively back to normal. He's been banned once in the past very briefly anyway. I may be wrong, but I very seriously doubt this is forever.

Plus, if members want to leave they should.... go....without making a huge wave about it. imo.

 

[miki78]

Hmmm the arguing has been getting very out of Hand to the point it has made the forum quite

Maybe things will calm down now and get back to normal now i hope

 

[Davey]

Maybe things will calm down now and get back to normal now i hope

I hope so too, but certain people just need to GROW UP, and think about the forum instead of their ego.

There will be calm with more and more previously active members losing interest each time one of these things happens. Nothing will change for the admins, on the other hand, as long as the site is financially healthy....

 

[miki78]

But the site wont be financially healthy if everybody leaves

I'v heard a lot of people who where not involved in the arguments state that the forum was being ruined

And that they didn't feel like coming on here anymore

No members no forum

People are not going to come on a forum where they think there going to be mussled treated unfairly or have to put up with arguments amoung the members.Admins,Mods ect

People might think that it only affects those in the thread but it doesn't it effects every member it gives the place a horrible atmoshpere

I'v noticed since the arguing started there have been less posts and even less new threads

You have to remeber there are those of us that are loyal to the forum and stick by it thick and thin

But even those people can only take so much when people start to get the impression they have no freedom they will leave

Remeber that the members really have nothing to lose they can go elsewhere

No members no forum

It's such a shame that the forum has been pushed to such a low reciently

When i first joined two months ago this place was bustling

Then the arguing started and everything died

You have to remeber that a lot of people like the established members there the people you are used to talking too disagreeing with laughing with

Without the members you are used to on the forum there wouldn't be anything to come here for

This is a comunity a whole

But right now it looks like gowder cheese

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Thistle, if you wouldn't mind, could you PM me the URL of that other forum, too?

 

[Void]

Thistle, if it is possible could you, please, PM me this URL, also?

 

[miki78]

*Frowns* your not all going to leave are you?

 

[RockLee]

He got what he asked for. This time he went too far, sorry but that's how I think about it.

 

[miki78]

What did he do that was to far i gotta admit i think i missed it

Did he do something we are not aware of?

 

[RockLee]

He posted more than one unnecessary comment (again) about Maciamo, some people will never learn. *sigh*

 

[Grandpa Frank]

Hey ??

Find out if this new "mystery" website/forum has a chat room that works; it might convince me to try it, LOL.

Uncle Frank

 

[Elizabeth]

It's such a shame that the forum has been pushed to such a low reciently

If it continues this way, it's practically guaranteed the banned members will be allowed back. lol

You simply cannot admit publicly that Maciamo is the prime offender, then ban everyone that speaks out too much about it, then tell the rest of us to be patient a little longer (over a year again) with no further explanation and expect your membership to hang around like little minions. No one is that stupid. :

Well, anyone can of course and in the end this is what they'll be left with....Have fun !

 

[miki78]

Hmmm

thistle don't forget to send me the link too ^^

 

[Grandpa Frank]

This is only a drill !!!

Abandon ship! Abandon ship!! All passengers report to your lifeboat station! Mayday-SOS-Mayday--we are going down!!!

Uncle Frank

 

[miki78]

Huh is there an Iceburg i want the boat with Leonardo Decaprio wheres my life jacket i can't swim *the chords broke* looool

BTW i love that avatar lol

 

[ArmandV]

Hmmm
thistle don't forget to send me the link too ^^

Ditto! Me too!

(I really have no beef with anyone here, but maybe this other forum would be more in tune with my interests. Not that this one isn't.)

 

[epigene]

Does it allow Japanese members?

I'm interested, too!!

 

[Pachipro]

Now CC1 is banned?!

Abandon ship! Abandon ship!! All passengers report to your lifeboat station! Mayday-SOS-Mayday--we are going down!!!

I think there is a tinge of truth in that statement Frank.

Thistle or anyone else who has it: Please pm me the url of the new forum also as this is getting a little rediculous for my taste also.

It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to post any contradictory arguments or my own opinions for fear of getting "infractions" and maybe banned. I have seen more people banned on this forum for speaking honestly than on any forum I have participated in. I mean, what kind of forum is this where a poster has to think, "Hmm, if I do post this opinion I may get banned or receive points against me like so and so when he/she really didn't say anything that I thought was worthy of getting banned."

What I thought was one of the finest forums on the net to post opinions about Japan and "Other serious discussions" and have great debates when I joined, has sunk to a "forum" of, if you do not drink from our kool-aid, and agree with "my" thinking of what is right/wrong about Japan and other things, your opinion is not wanted here. At least that's the way it seems to me of late.

It really is a shame.
