Any of you dudes get banned from TGP?..Why?

I got banned again. I have no idea why. I violated the rules, no explanation and bye. I won’t rejoin. I hate those websites where the moderators are so overactive and pulling the trigger so quickly without feedback. How to know what to do better next time?

Here’s the deal…. A very popular trend in modern society is to be offended by more things than all of your Facebook friends. That shows that you are the most virtuous of the group. That mentality has taken over TGP, and people mash on the report button for every little thing that they can claim offends them. And the moderators are either too “busy” to decide for themselves, or else they are cut from the same cloth. Either way, they tend to just swing the ban hammer rather than communicate with the creator of the offensive post. It didn’t used to be that way, but it sure the fuck is now.

I’ve been on the internet since the beginning and forums always has been a part of that. But it’s damn hard to keep it all positive.

I’ve been on this planet since the late sixties, and people these days are the most inconsiderate, selfish, entitled little snowflakes that I have ever had to deal with. I think that people in general are forgetting how to simply interact with other humans. Too many of them see the world through their smartphone or the screen of their computers, and their social skills are severely underdeveloped. When I was in my teens and twenties, obnoxious behavior and smartass comments would get you punched in the face. The internet has removed that particular (yet highly effective) consequence.

Yep. Thankfully I have always been more of a loner. Not so much “in” society or in small sub cultures.

Now I have young children I need to deal with society more and that can be challenging. But also good way to learn how to be a more calm, present person. Everybody is going through something.

I think it goes farther than that.

To the supporting members, it a live service game where people feign indignation to attacking other posters, in hopes of getting them banned.

Its petty and malicious, they know what they are doing.

They do use the report button to try to censor (or ban) those they disagree with. And they do goad people they don't like into crossing the line so they can report them. I was caught in that trap a couple of times and received a timeout from it, but I'm on to the game now and can hold someone at bay for days on end without doing a single thing that could be used to bust me. I've even called people out directly for trying that shit with me, and was so successful in one counterattack that the d******d doesn't even respond to me any more-after coming after me here and there for easily four years.

It's like trying to have a rational discussion with a four year old.

Whats crazy about it is that it appears to be an IP ban.

TOP = The Offended Page.
I pulled my support and the only reason I go there anymore is to browse the classifieds. Not that I would even buy anything there anymore since the scammers have taken over. Oh and the “no FF” police. Seriously, fek that place.

If I am buying something on a forum with PayPal, I am not going to use that Friends and Family nonsense. I'll pay the 3%, thank you very much.

Man I don’t have time for that stuff. They can keep that bs over there, we don’t play that here. Thankfully ❤️
 
I got 3 warnings. One of them, I was arguing with a guy who loves his jetski. I told him they are annoying and jetski people get bored so they have to do their little twirlies in front of people like everybody cares. Anyway the guy posts a picture of him on his jetski. My comment was, " I'm surprised it stayed afloat with the amount of weight that was on it." I got a warning for that. Geesh its not like I called him fat!:LOL:
