tooladdict Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I got kicked from the chatroom, but it didn't say a mod kicked me then I couldn't get back in and am getting " [#Chat-03] you do not have access to the chatroom." Is this what a ban looks like or is this a browser error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 You will have access within a couple of days. If you try to either nag us to make it shorter or make a new account to circumvent the ban it will either be lengthened or become permanent. That's your fair warning.

tooladdict Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just for the record it seems I was banned for stating that benzos cause brain shrinkage long term. That seems like a poor excuse for a ban. There have been studies that show benzos do this similarly to alcohol. I didn't even broach the subject in a rude way. Wtf?

tryp Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Mods have better things to do than figure out how to get at you. Â Trust me. Â Your ban was a culmination of several inappropriate behaviours in chat. Â It will be lifted at within the next few days and you can try again.

tooladdict Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 I guess I should apologize for saying threads get locked when a mod gets high and mighty and decides to lock a thread. I guess I should also apologize when I said I have seen a mod troll a thread and lock it so no one else could comment on it. Those where my inappropriate comments that got me banned I guess. Sorry for not respecting the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) This isn't kindergarten or some kind of weird dictatorship. Â Just don't be a bigger ass than we are, and you won't get banned from chat. Â Problem solved. Edited April 12, 2014 by tryp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopamine Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) From what I witnessed, the proverbial straw was when it was stated that benzodiazepines shrink one's brain, a claim for which there is scientific evidence to support (but is not a belief I personally adhere to).  I don't believe the philosophy of this board is to silence views for which there can be a legitimate disagreement and constructive debate around (e.g. the health effects of benzos). Such a practice of forcibly silencing views which those in a position of authority disagree with is, with all due respect, abhorrent.  To place this ban into context, I was also called an "asshole" by the same moderator for talking about cheese on rice.  While I completely respect the moderators and administrators of this board, and believe they have the best of intentions, this ban was a mistake and should be corrected. IMHO.  Edited April 13, 2014 by dopamine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooster Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The only response mods and admins will provide to this thread is that we do not discuss details of suspensions or bans publicly, only with the member who has incurred the consequence. Thank you for your sharing your concerns. If the community wants to open a broader discussion outisde of this specific instance, you are welcome to do so. However, we will not engage in a public discussion of (ETA individual) suspensions or bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooster Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 If you are having problems with a member, be they mod/admin member (because mods and admins are members first) or non-administrative member, please discuss that with them directly. If you are not able to get a satisfactory response, perhaps someone could help mediate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveyoursanity Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) So.. . could it be possible that the person in question didn't realize they were bothering you?  We have access to a few more buttons than you do. That doesn't make us mind-readers. It doesn't make us infallible. We're still just as crazy as the rest of you.  We have the policies in place that we have for a reason. However, being as I know every mod here personally donates their time and effort to make sure that the boards and chat are available to everyone, crying that we're oppressing you while we're just trying to make sure chat or the boards give the greatest use and benefit to people doesn't typically endear me to your ever-so-righteous cause.

Freetodowhatever Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 . I sent an admin a pm with 2members of family to witness. This board is not safe, it's rude and arrogant. And if you have 50.000 people on your site none of this board is secure. A member of my family unwell, and I have to check what they have been on due to the mistake they thought they were with crazy meds where folk will not be so rude to you. Monday morning I am passing this over to the health care and they can deal with this. I notice to many people seem to tread on egg shells around elvis velvet. You do know it boils down to money. Please don't be intimidated by Admins. They have been given a responsibility and it's gone to there head. They have your info, email, etc. wake up and smell the coffee.

San Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) VE doesn't make much money off this site, if any. It runs on ads and donations by members. It mostly comes out of his pocket. Mods do not have access to more info than you have.  I second the "What?"  If you get pissed off that mods and admins volunteer their time to help run a site, then leave. It is not "mods vs members" because I'm a member first. It's when people start saying I troll on purpose and do it for fun, I don't. Because then there's a shitstorm which the other mods and admins have to clean up, and everything is logged anyways, can be found in backups, and we actually do want to help.. oh my god, the thought of it! People wanting to help these days?  Like VE said, we're members first, we don't enjoy banning people, partly because there's a huge process to go through, and then more, I got called an asshole enough that night for just being there, we work as a team and I had others agreement, so I used an "extra button". I was trying to help a newer member. Period. Edited April 13, 2014 by San Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been a member for a week and you're an expert on this site? We've been here since 2005, helping thousands of people to deal with their mental illnesses, and this is the safest place for people with MI issues. We listen to members who are suicidal, who have been abused by family members, who have been mistreated by the medical profession---and we deal with them with courtesy and kindness.  If you don't like Crazyboards, please go elsewhere. We do this on a volunteer basis, and I for one don't need your ill-informed, crackpot comments after all the years I have served as a moderator here.  I'm sorry you're so unhappy, but we didn't cause your mental illness or your present unhappiness.  olga Edited April 13, 2014 by olga typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooladdict Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) I was just trying to explain my actions... I just want to socialize with my friends here. I don't understand why the mod kicked me when I shut up when the mods got defensive. I'm not going to go into details about the particular fourm in which mods kept commenting after it was locked because I can't remember the details. All I can do is apologize for bringing it up. I don't think it was a fair punishment to be banned for it. Especially without a word said to me about it much less a warning.
