It's easy to get around being wrongly banned on BrainTalk 1. When it returns :

1. Register using a different name. Even slight variations such as Harlee or Harley 2 are enough. You can use something more anonymous if you need to such as Donald Duck or Abraham Lincoln, but then just add Harley as your signature. People that know you will guess who you are anyway.

2. Register using a different e-mail address. Free e-mail addresses can be readily obtained at Yahoo https://login.yahoo.com/config/mail by clicking on Sign Up on the right hand side of the page.

3. If there is a malicious Moderator that is really intent on blocking you they will also block your IP address as well, which is what identifies your computer. For most people this is no problem because their IP address changes every time you login. Even if they block your entire ISP, that's no problem either, as you can log in via a Proxy server such as Unipeak http://www.unipeak.com/ On the Unipeak site just type in the web site address of Brain Talk 1 brain.hastypastry.net/forums/ and you will be in to the BrainTalk 1 web site to register with your newly acquired Yahoo e-mail address.

This only takes two minutes. You can reverse what they did more quickly than they did it. With a bit of know how you will be unbannable on BT1. You shouldn't have been upset. It's them that should have been upset. They were in the wrong. They are the ones that should have been banned.

Alternatively, when or if BT1 returns, you could instead stay with BrainTalk 2 which is administered with more of a sense of reason, respect and tolerance. Very much unlike BT1 which behind their Oh aren't we so caring and compassionate facade was at times run like a cross between the CIA and the KGB.

Bona Sera
