i had a little bit of history for pushing the envelope there. i tested the mods several times and was awarded with infractions for my sins. i never did anything you would consider horrific tho.

but since i came here, started a thread that has become the most popular one at VU, i knew they would be laying in wait for me to slip up there.

i hadn't been there is quite awhile but decided to snoop around this morning. the first thread i go to, i see a moderator View attachment 12935 'ing someone for daring to have an opinion of something. so i simply said something like "i see nothing has changed here, they are still trying to mute the masses". 2 min. later. ban hammer. :p
OMG, they're getting worse instead of learning their lesson. That's fine, let them keep banning everyone and sending them over here. Pretty soon they won't have anyone left.

Pretty soon the only member they will have left is that guy who uses the Jack Nicholson avatar. I'm sure he'll be there every day to tell people how to recoil Kanger heads since they haven't even heard of Aspire yet.

John Q has not been to ECF in months. John Q has never tutored the peons on how to recoil kanger heads.
 
Fun fact: If you are a vendor there they will ban your account until you pay a $50 yearly fee to have an account. We never made it out of the new members area. Never once mentioned our website or our product. They also stipulate that you cannot have any other personal accounts so making a new personal account was out. So instead of going underground at ECF or paying to interact with like-minded people, we went Underground here.

To the VU staff, thanks for not shaking down vendors!

It's more than $50 a year. I believe there is a $100 registration fee that has to be paid in addition to that.

Well, well..What a nice tidy little racket they have going there...sounds like they're raking it in....what really got me there was that they encourage people to be supporting members and pay a fee for the privilege...I always thought I was a supporting member...supporting the forum by helping them with their overall member count, reading ads, and buying from some of the vendors they've already fleeced...the idea of paying them to "support" the forum just isn't gonna happen...seems like double dipping....get money from the vendors and the members both...

I got banned from them for using my friends computer. thats right using someone else's computer. When they saw that I logged into an account once from an Ip that already had an account associated with it I was banned. Tried to get it over turned, nope. And my friend got a permanent reminder on his shit.

They are ban happy....they dont really care though...doesnt affect them...your membership still stays on the rolls so they can tout how many members they have and use that to justify charging vendors since they have so many people as members....they dont actually delete accounts....but then again, they dont delete them here either as far as I know...lol

I haven't been banned from ECF, at least not yet. I'm an ECF "old timer", 5+ years on that forum. I came here because of friends who have been banned from there. Should I stay? Should I leave? The VU looks like a nice forum, think that I will stay.

Hello Peeps, hi Kelli, hi Whiskey !!!!! :)

Tell returd to go fuck him/herself in a PM and a post then PM Oliver (smokinjoe) quickly while you can and tell him the same.
That will do it.

I'm still trying to figure out why I got banned from ECF. They claim it was because I'm technically a "vendor" (I represent a measly couple of book titles) but they allowed me to have an active page dedicated to that for nearly a year. Then one night out of the blue with no warning I was gone forever. What a wanker thing to do to someone.

It wasn't your fault. You have a disability. You are missing that little thing in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't.:D

Kelli, you are a sweet lady, but from what I have heard, a bit too outspoken. Diplomacy is the key, when dealing with anyone, anywhere, but especially with moderators and management on a forum, any forum.

Vaperature, if you feel that you were unjustly banned from ECF, let Rolygate know what happened and why. There are over 240k members there, with 17k active. Some people slip through the cracks.

Are you serious? I wouldn't go crawling back to that shit hole if someone paid me to. There aren't any 17k active members there. You can look at any thread there and you'll find the same 20 or so members blabbing constantly as if they are the king shit of the world (half of them are the moderators themselves).

Why bother?
If people resist what's good for them, let them rot in ECF.
Besides, people that got banned from ECF are going to search for alternatives outside of ECF not inside it.
ECF moderators don't have to fight it or even answer you, they just need to lock the thread and with the amount of traffic they have it just gets pushed down the pages in minutes.

I would: I'd collect the money, post a couple innocuous things there and I'd surely promptly get banned again in no time flat. Doesn't sound like a lot of hard work to me :)

Ok, well I didn't mean that literally, so if anyone wants to pay me money then sure, I'll go back there and get some advice on how to rebuild a kanger protank coil.

well jerry, some might take issue with the "sweet lady" part, but never the outspoken part. ;) i happen to be a free thinker, with opinions on various topics......both of which they HATE at ECF. if you are a good little sheep who never has a dissenting opinion, you will do just fine over there. it's kind of like russia, china and north korea...if you make waves, you disappear.

I have made waves, Kelli and still making waves. I speak my mind over there, always have. It's not what you say, but how you say it.

BS, it's not how you say it but how the whacko mods over there INTERPRET how you say it. I once got an infraction just for asking someone if he was writing a school paper. They interpreted that as I was trying to pick a fight. Uh, no, I was just wondering if he was writing a school paper.

Yes, Kelli, it's too late for the ECF, but there are other forums, including this one and then of course there's the RW (real world). Just be diplomatic, make your point in a calm and respectful manner......no temper, no anger. And this goes for anywhere, not just the ECF, criticize the post or comment, not the person who said it.

BTW, I saw you sticking your tongue out at me !!!!! LOL

For those of us not currently banned at ECF, I for one would love to have a link to the offending discussions. I am quite curious as to what comments were heinous enough to warrant a ban for life.
I moderated a few forums in the early teenage years of the internet, and never muffled any opinions, much less banned a member for anything they believed.
Words like "community" and "discussion" must mean other things to other people.
