I got banned! - tommag - 11-15-2024
Over at citizen Free Press they have an open thread where individuals can post. I posted asking permission to put up a link to our forum without naming it.
Since then, when I post on the open thread my posts instantly disappear. Now I wish I hadn't tossed a few bucks to support the site. It's amazing what can get you tossed out! Oh well.

Oops, I spoke too soon, I just went over there and my post is back up, I guess I got reinstated.
RE: I got banned! - tommag - 11-15-2024
I inquired on the repeater if we had any it guys. I instantly got one and asked if maybe CFP had spiders or web crawlers monitoring other sites and I got reinstated because of my post here. He said I was banned by an AI bot and that triggers an investigation so the timing was coincidental. It's amazing on this system how many experts in various fields there are.
Anyway, evidently I've been investigated and found to be one of the good guys.

And I'm out again. On the Sunday open thread there's not even a "join the conversation" box available for me. Oh well.

The website won’t even load for me
RE: I got banned! - tommag - 11-17-2024
I just went over there and was able to post. I guess he turns off features to protect the server when traffic gets too high. Your being unable to load it suggests maybe that's whats going on. The stats from election day showed 31 million page views.

I’m the thickness of a pubic hair from being banned on a EV forum…..tried and tried to keep my mouth shut but the entitlement & pompous know it alls……
Wanting free electricity at hotels cuz they are EV’s was the final straw
Ugh……

I don't know why, but maybe 10% of my posts survive. Most disappear immediately. Frustrating.
