I got banned from ANOTHER forum
for posting a timeslip from my mazda on a ford site!! Yes sir. I posted a time slip from the MS6 on a probe website. One of the mods asked me to remove it. I hadn't visited the site in several days and when I log back on it says I've been banned for a month.
What kind of horseshit is that? I got on that forum to see if I could help them with some FS-DE part production and they ban me for posting my timeslip?!?! come on.
"You have been banned for the following reason:
You are in this restricted forum until you address the timeslip submission I pm'd you about - c-man
Date the ban will be lifted: November 25th, 2007, 04:00 AM"
I'm going to delete the timeslip and then duke it out with these guys. They SUCK at running a forum. They also deleted my sig for saying "I'd like to buy a 93-97 probe 2.0L mtx preferrably in the southeast".... they deleted that because it "violated their TOS". WTF?!?! I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm trying to BUY something.
These guys need to be straightened out. If any of you feel like jumping on and voicing your opinion feel free. www.probetalk.com

Are.. you... serious???
I was a member on that site years back, before I even had an FS-DE car (had a friend with a V6 Probe and another with a V6 MX-6 so it seemed like the logical place to go since neither of them were the 'forum type' and obviously I am.
High five for being banned?
Maybe they'll reset your post count to 0 and then deleted some of your posts, causing some sort of weird divide by zero error that makes you forever the highest poster on the site!

Hahaha, I love that massive post count number on said site. I never understood it, but I guess that makes sense.
Yeh, I've been banned from lots of crap forums before, usually by nerdy power trip mods that have no concern for the intergrity of the actual site, and are just trying to be bossy or feel special.

what pissed me off was how he banned me for posting a non-ford timeslip and on the front page are about 6 non-ford timeslips...several mazdas and even an SRT4. I e-mailed the admin and laid into him. I wonder what the outcome will be.
I made sure to mention that his was not the only probe site on the internet I could be using.
