Can I make this post without being banned?

[acrasial]

Hello Warriors,

While I have an understanding that being banned, and talking about it is taboo, is this correct?...
(This post was made, so hopefully I don't get banned....!!)


I also have an understanding that talking about other forums on a forum is taboo... is that correct for this forum?

As in, can I discuss another forum here?


Regards,

[KimW]

Don't know.
Not enough info.

Hello sir,

Well if I talk about it here... without knowing if I can be banned or not; I may in turn be banned.

Basically it will discuss being banned, how I got banned, stupid stuff I did in between to get myself banned, a few realizations and related.

Does this help?

Regards,

[KimW]

Were you banned from here,or another forum?

[acrasial]

From here, and i was directed to other forums from sources on here... which is also what I would like to discuss- as I was shocked by other forums >LOL>

[Paul Myers]

Generally speaking, the problem with talking about being banned comes from bitching about it and bashing whatever mod (by name or generically) it was that banned you. Or arguing the logic behind it.

There are really only three main reasons to discuss a ban. To ask why it happened, prove it was wrong, or to say what happened positive as a result of it.

Two of those are okay.

Hello Sir,

Well I actually have no clue who banned me, lol so that's not even possible and I actually have no complaints about it either, as it was my fault.

I have also been banned like 6? times... so it's quite hefty, and thought I'd make some sort of post about it to warn people, and show what I have learned throughout this time.

But I just dont want to get banned for doing that... as I am not keen on getting banned, respectively lol...


Regards,

[Paul Myers]

My name is not "sir."

Don't worry about it. If you're not arguing the point, just say what you've got to say.

Paul

PAUL, can you tell me what people's beefs are with the use of sir?

Is it really that offensive? Or is it just offensive when I use it?

Regards,

[KimW]

What Paul said, my name isn't Sir either.

[Paul Myers]

It has nothing to do with you. I don't let anyone call me sir in a serious manner, except very close friends, who usually know better. (Joking is different. That's okay.)

I don't personally care for it, except in circumstances where formality is appropriate and called for. I have no beef with it, though. It's a matter of courtesy, in most cases.


Paul

[seasoned]

Acrasial,

I can speak for MYSELF here. SOME people that call me SIR do so out of habit, perceived higher stature, or courtesy. That is OK with me, but makes me a bit uneasy.

USUALLY they call me sir to try to make me BELIEVE they respect me or are decent, or because they figure I will ignore some slight, or because they want to sell me something.

So MY name isn't SIR either. 8-(

Maybe others feel the same way.

You've been banned about 6 times!!!!!!!? That is hard to believe.

Steve

[Paul Myers]

Steve,

That was a 6 and a question mark.

And yeah, there's a lot of what you described in how I feel about the use of that word when it's not really called for. Other stuff can apply too, but those are very real issues.


Paul

[tracelemental]

so that was interesting to watch the topic go right off topic ? ... back to topic perhaps?

[Paul Myers]

"Trace,"

Interestingly, that was sort of on topic, if accidentally so.


Paul

[Allen Graves]

Come on Acrasial - spill the beans!

And don't worry, I've been banned from here before too. If you want to be prominent here, or you want to take on the role of an information giver (while selling within the same niche of that information), you're going to run the risk of saying the wrong thing and being banned.

It doesn't matter if you meant to be devious or if it were an honest mistake. Rules are rules and if they are not enforced, nobody will respect them.

Another thing about this forum is that you are allowed a second (and sometimes third ) chance to prove you are not here to push the boundaries.

So let's hear your enlightening experience!

Allen

[acrasial]

where should I post it, so that I don't get banned? LOL.... I would like to think I may be able to post it in the main forum, but that's pushing it, isn't it?

[Paul Myers]

Good Lord... Post it here, and let the locals advise you after that. This is a much safer place for that kind of thread, anyway.


Paul

[acrasial]

LOL.... sure thing Sir! oopps... PAUL..

[Jared Alberghini]

Wait, before you post acrasial...

Just look at how you have engaged people with your story...

Package that process and sell it!

.jrd

[Paul Myers]

Jared,

Wait, before you post acrasial...

Just look at how you have gotten everyone engaged with your story...

Package that and sell it!

Yeah. Except without the cutesy junior high stuff. Unless, of course, that's her market...


Paul

[Jared Alberghini]

Paul,

Yeah. Except without the cutesy junior high stuff. Unless, of course, that's her market...

Are you talking about the 'gossip' factor of people wanting to know why someone was banned? Or something completely different regarding the OP?

My main thoughts were immediately of info/products that provided solutions to "Not Be Banned" from an online service provider, adsense, affiliate networks, forums, etc... products/info to explain how Not To Be Banned permanently from respected places that can have serious consequences on any online business.

This thread has opened my eyes a bit wider, and I see a need to "read between the hidden lines/unwritten rules"... or even give a short, straight to the point, cliffs notes version... that aren't clearly defined by those service providers.

Your 'Being A Better Member Moderator' thread is a great example for a "read between the lines" of the WarriorForum: Being a better member moderator


.jrd

[sandangel]

WOW..... this is the weirdest thread ever! At first I thought it was making sense but now I am lost. Probably time for me to get some sleep.

[acrasial]

Yes, people can be nosy as to why someone is banned- I think, however, it only would really be someone's business if they were doing business with that person and didn't receive the product... because of a ban.

Otherwise, yes, I would think that to be just a bit nosy as well.. lol. I am not sure that anyone cared to know why i was banned anyways, i just felt to make a post about getting banned and my experience with it...

[Paul Myers]

Jared,

The young lady has a tendency to indulge in a style of conversation that evokes a feeling of, "Hey! She's the kid from high school that always played the 'cutesy card.'" Doesn't work as well in an 'after school' environment. Especially considering the average age of the membership here. It's substantially older than DP, BHW, WebmasterWorld and the other forums in this market.

She's no dummy, but the lost kid thing gets old after a while. Makes it hard to remember she's smart and take her as seriously as she deserves.

hahha promise me you will read the actual post... I am sure you will completely understand it as it was intended then!

[Paul Myers]

Already did. Good comments.

Doesn't change the HS stuff, but you'll grow out of that...

Paul

Apparently I already did. I turn 21 in February, maybe then? I heard people change when they turn 21. I thought that would happen when I turned, 18, and also when I hit 20...

LOL I am a pain in the butt for the mods on this forum, I can imagine...

[Paul Myers]

I hate to tell you this ma'am, but the only serious developmental brain event you have to reasonably expect is at 30. That's when it's fully formed.

The rest is a choice. It doesn't just happen, barring some disastrous event, which we all hope won't be in anyone's future. Leave it to chance, and you'll end up like the 30-somethings at that "other" WF, who are pretty much indistinguishable from the 16-year olds.

Hahah I would love to be able to share my REAL experience of the other forums, but i would definately be banned, because there is so much vulgarity involved...lol...

Yes, I was shocked...oh well.

But definitely, i don't want to be a dumb-arse 30 year old that everyone just wishes would go die...lol!!!

I'd say that rather depends on what you're selling...

Apparently it is!

You have an ability to engage that is quite intriguing sista ...

I am wondering if posting about other forums is allowed in here, or is that taboo?

If it's not, I so have a few quotes and things... I am still shocked at one of these "other forums" in particular and at what lengths they go to trash this forum...

I am thinking that maybe that forum is a collective of people banned from this forum...lol?

It's even got Steven Waghenheim mentioned- they are literally obsessed with the guy ...loL!!!


Some dude also pulled up all my posts from here on the WF, thinking it was cool- i thought it was stalking LOL

hahaha

I still appreciate the level of professionalism and respect maintained on this forum!! If anyone does not, I strongly suggest them then, to check out other forums...LOL


Maybe that's what admin should do when people are banned and complain about it- is just redirect them over to those forums...lol.

hahaha.

[jkt777]

I have seen many forums discussed here, but it is usually someone asking for recommendations for popular forums on certain topics. For example tech help, where to sell sites, or how to find popular niche forums.

I recognise you for the post you made on article marketing that was very informative and the type of post that is appreciated here.

I haven't read your other post, but if you have been banned 37 times hopefully you have learned what not to do.

You say it was your fault so I think a post about what not to do could be useful as long as you are not blaming the other forums. Maybe you could stop some newbies from making the same mistakes.

CHEEZ... it was 6 times written like this "6???", and someone had misread it...lol

As for the "other" forums, it's rather quite a different story- and nothing to do with being banned...lol, but rather my experience as a whole hahaa... it's quite a strange one.

[jkt777]

Sorry acrasial,

My fault for misreading. I even got 37 from 67 lol.

As far as the original question, other forums are discussed here.
What is not allowed here from my experience is personal attacks and probably not naming other sites which you have problems with unless they are known scams.

Disclaimer: This is just my personal take on it and means nothing lol

Again, I apologize if I offended you. I have saved your post on article marketing and I really appreciate it.

Oh well, even SIX sounds like a LOT! Sorry! My screen IS small and WHO KNOWS why I saw th ? as 7. Oh well, on my netbook they aren't THAT different.

haha, Joe I never felt offended! It just looks like it in my sentence, because the way I originally wrote "6????" with loads of question marks, when I copy that in a quote, it probably makes me look ticked...which isn't the case.

It may even be 7 times, not even sure... but I think if I were banned 67 times, that I should be taken out and shot!! But yes, I noticed that the mention of a forum by name in the PM's it becomes starred out; but maybe that is because the particular forum is literally garbage... and also insults other members from this forum etc... so then I could definitely understand.

No need to bring that garbage here then, right? But it just shocked me, and sure ads to my tale of being banned- because the garbage forums really opened my eyes as to how great this one is!

It's ok, I have confused worse things! Numbers is nothing, when words are confused, then it's bad...LOL! But true, they do look alike. especially if you have a dot after the 7. ? and then that.

You can share your experience, and lessons learned.

However, if you have anything negative to say about any forums, do NOT mention their names. That could be in violation of Rule #1, and could get you banned, again.

But it is okay to tell us about the "dark side" if you speak in generalities.

All the best,
Michael

I did post a post on it! LOL...long time ago... but I wont talk about other forums then. I just think this forum is the best, tis all.

I also hate being called SIR, which Jennifer or Jenny does. Why? Maybe something to do with GENDER.

Instead of starting a thread or post about can I talk about, why not follow the instructions of the forum, play by the rules and you should be safe.

But having different accounts won't help
