Are you ever worried about getting banned?

[sajetto]

You don't necessarily have to have bad language or be nasty to get banned.

2 guys on the DVC boards have been banned repeatedly b/c they've made negative comments continously about one resort in particular. It was like a broken record and when they were banned one time they'd make another identity and another and so on. It caused the board to have such tension and negativity that the mods were sick of it and put an end to the madness.

Oh, I think that maybe a time or two I've been worried...

It's really just when I get in a snarky mood once a month--yep, that time of the month, but usually I just don't post then, but every few months I just can't keep my perimenopausal mouth shut.

 

[dmslush]

No, I've never really worried about it. I do try to avoid the controversial threads though.. I'll read them, but I don't post on them. I have enough drama in my life that I don't have to envoke it on the DIS also.. I just want to chill when I am here.

I get a little snarky then myself...Wait, can we say "snarky" or will we get banned?! I totally didn't mean the now #10 snarky! Don't ban me!

 

[Loubon]

If they haven't banned you for that picture of Chachi by now I don't think you have anything to worry about. Unless of course you replace it with a beaver who thinks he's a hamster but looks like a squirrel. That might do it.

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Nope, never been worried about that

Hey, I like the No Tag.. No Need...signature

I haven't been banned yet, but usually I try to behave myself on these boards. I am actually better behaved here than I am in person.

 

[TurboKitty]

I think I'm a bit small to garner much notice... so kinda safe there.



But, considering how long I've lurked, and the things I've seen, it could happen. Without warning or a reason given.

Well if I were you, I'd be careful 'cause we're watching you now, Mister.

 

[Missy1961]

Not really. But then, I've learned to type it, read it, & not post it!

OH I have done that many many times

Crap on a cracker, I could be in deep yogurt now!

 

[Cantw8]

Nope, and frankly I am quite surprised given the "questionable" pictures I post from time to time ...I think Alex likes my taste in "art"

 

[Shugardrawers]

I have actually been quite worried. A few weeks ago I got a PM from someone warning me about my recent random naughtiness and true, I was a bit more spunky then than usual. Maybe pushing the envelope but nothing I thought was over the top.

Then there was my thread about recreational It just up and *poofed* which was too bad because it had become quite funny.

And I once posted a picture of some Monistat 7 for Ashjohnson's angry beaver but that's about it. I usually try to avoid arguments and controversy. Like someone else said, I have enough drama in my life. That doesn't mean I don't talk about you all behind your backs though

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

Not here, because I'm a good girl.

I did almost get banned on another board though for something that I won't own up to.

 

[barkley]

i think i came close to (or at least a particular moderator was looking for a reason to) several months back.

i was on the cruise board and a future (first time cruiser) had posted a question regarding legal documents needed for a child to board and travel (she was in a nasty custody battle with the father who did'nt want the kid to leave the state let alone the country). one of the moderators posted a reply that dcl never checks kid's docs and she did'nt need to take anything but the kid's bc. i posted that it was'nt up to the cruiseline but immigration at the port (and the ports of entry) and advised her to seek legal advise because she could face international kidnapping charges. the mod fired a post back that stated my information was totaly incorrect and she "being a long standing cruise board moderator and travel agent" knew better what the cruiseline procedures were-that i should leave such post replies "to a professional" (um, sorry? i worked in dss for years and know a bit more about child custody law and travel requirements, plus i'de just been on a cruise and had seen some families turned away at the port by immigration-and one mom/kid pullled aside by immigration officials at one port for validation of her travel docs)-all in all a very "snarky" post. i sent a copy of it to the webmaster for the board who replied that the information as well as the posting had been inappropriate.

about a week later i posted to another thread wherein someone wanted info. on some item-i tried to post the name (only) of the company i knew carried the item but it kept coming up as a link (which my understanding of the boards is a no-no to post) so as a solution i posted it as "companynamedotcom" (actualy spelled it out that way)-BINGO! the "professional" sent me a pm saying i had "knowingly and with malicious intent took action to attempt to override the internal security mechanisms of the dis"..."any further actions we deem inappropriate will result in loss of posting privledges"

i pretty much left that board after that.

given the horrendously vile postings with personal attacks that noone (mod wise) seems to care about enough to close threads or take banning action on-i think the whole thing is pretty arbitrary.

Good thing we're allowed to say that word or I'd have been banned a long time ago. Now quick delete it so Alex doesn't see it.

I'm not worried about getting banned. If it happens, it happens.
