I don't have CP, I was drawn to this topic by the "banning" in it. I think banning is very stressful if you originally like the board and the people.

I've been banned where it took a real bite out of my health... so now I don't go to forums as much.

But... the reason I'm writing to you, ewizabeth, is I have to ask, is your avatar doing an Anna?????

Hi CT,

My avatar is a hyperactive bunny plunging a toilet. Reminds me of the good old days when I was a Mom of two young boys.

Ohhhhhhhh, now I see it!!!!!!!

Gosh, where on earth did you find that gif?

(((((((Ewizabeth)))))))))

I too have been banned from the health boards and I'd like to vent, if I may.
The reason that I was banned was because I posted to different boards the same suggestion, related to different ailments. I was quickly called on the carpet for it. I was not spamming or posting duplicate messages, only the same suggestion on different boards. Excuse me! When I protested, stating that my dressing down was unfair, I was banned. I still don't see what it was that I did wrong. The rules state that the moderators have the last word, but give me a break, fair is fair. I DID NOTHING WRONG! Where do they get these moderators? Rejects from the police academy?

I was once banned from healthboards as well. It was actually pretty hysterical, some on the dieting forum said that calories was all that was important in dieting. So I responded with that if you eat 100% of your calories from cake that you will not lose weight but instead get fat.
That was it I was banned for that final post. They said it was a personal attack. I only used you as a general thing. There were 2 other posts that got me in trouble as well but they were also innocent like I one I just mentioned.I thought it was me, but I am happy to see that I am in good company here I too don't have cp, but I thouight I'd share this tidbit. And I do agree with the guy who said that the AMA probably runs that board.

That board is a scary place. I have checked it out a few times for MS information and there is one poster who practically runs it and she gives out information like she knows everything there is to know about MS, and meds, and a lot of it is just wrong or misleading.

I am wondering if she is one of the mods and picks and chooses who to ban based on her mood that day!

I asked to post some information a couple of months ago, according to their TOS, and never even got a reply from the Adminstrator. Just plain rude. I thought about just posting it and getting banned...but since I didn't get a reply to my request I figured this person who posts all the time in the MS forum was part of the team. That was good enough for me.

So don't feel bad if you've been banned from there...it's not a very reliable place for information. This place is much better...and much more reliable. Shoot, you get better information from Wikipedia than that forum! LOL!

As I think I posted earlier, I was banned for asking Moderator 7 to show some compassion.

We all know moderators are underpaid and overworked, but the moderators at Healthboards banned me for life for asking for compassion for another person.

I told them, going in, I was on heavy morphine for pain and might make mistakes. They did "forgive me" for one..I think. But at this moment I am seeking that they be required to remove my name or they can remove my name and postings, or they can remove the term "Banned" from next to my name. Their choice so far. My disabilities were used against me when they knew I had them going in. If they are decent people, why not just tell us if we can't follow the rules, we have to leave. I did leave for awhile.

I intend to see that their support structures are notified of pending legal actions and hopefully some will provide adult leadership for them. If you are serious, and not just blowing hot air, read who supports their forum and write them of the moderator abuses.

I would like to see the forum continue with real people running it, not these power mad despots.

I can't wait to see their defense for banning me when I asked for some compassion for a man who had just lost everything and seemed borderline suicidal to me. I am proud that I asked for compassion, I am angry that my "name" is being smeared by people not fit to be in the room with caring people.

just a FYI for anyone stumbling on this topic.....this is NOT about NeuroTalk but was started last year when a member here was banned on another forum not connected to NT.


Also to make sure it is understood that altho the mods here at NT are overworked...........we are NOT paid for this......
hehehe tho, come to think of it, hmmmmmmmmmm....DocJohn...maybe a mod union gonna form here ................LOL

ps This thread really belongs on Social Chat Forum so I have moved it here and with a redirect here from the CP forum where it originated
