johncyf Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 They refuse me usage of the chat because I said magnesium is a laxative. Now they want me to prove to them I am worthy of some sort of reinstatement. I am very sad and not feeling well and I need to talk to people and no one is helping me. Thanx for help for a few admin for helping a person out. Uggh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessamine Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't know what occurred before this but the admin usually make decisions based on something. Sometimes they have to make decisions that make people think they suck in order to protect the other members. None of them take decisions lightly and they don't generally just ban people who need help because it's fun for them. They generally cop flack when they have to make difficult decisions. That being said, if it's not about admins on this board I am here and happy to listen although I may not have loads of advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncyf Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's a website for mentally ill people. But it's still just a website. I am an american. I believe in free speech. Just because someone pays $100 a year for a domain name doesn't make them prime minister of neurosis and anality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It does, however, make them prime minister of the content hosted at that domain name. Fair warning, the staff here gives freely of their time and/or money to provide us with this site, and they generally don't respond very favorably to new folks coming in and announcing what's wrong with it. Most people wouldn't, I think. If you're looking for support, this is a really great place to be, but you're unlikely to get that if you enter with rudeness and disrespect.

MiaB Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sync pretty much hit it on the head. Apart from the fact that all mods and admin here are volunteers, we take every decision that we make seriously and carefully. If you were censured in chat, then I have not a single doubt that it was done with reasonable forethought. Oh, and Velvet Elvis owns this site. What he says, goes. If you piss him off you've made a giant mistake. And aside from the fact that this is a multinational forum with members from all over the world, the American free speech argument is just silly in this context. If you want to be allowed back into the fold of chat, ask yourself seriously what you did wrong and engage like a grownup with the staff. Running all over the boards whinging about what happened isn't going to get you anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 'MURICA! Sorry, couldn't resist Stunningly, nobody really finds banning people all that amusing - not in the least because it occasions having to deal with threads like this. You were banned from chat for a reason. In the meantime, if you need support and would like to demonstrate that you can conform to our community norms, you are still welcome to post on the boards about how sad you are or other MI-related issues you'd like to discuss.

johncyf Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) What? Shut up. I don't want any advice from you, Mia or sync. On my thread, you go with my norms. Which at the moment means you stay off my thread, because you are stroking your own egos. Edited September 3, 2014 by johncyf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Elvis Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 IIRC you were banned from chat for randomly asking people if they had shit their pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
