... they've locked down my account so that the only threads I can comment on are in the "women's section" or the "homeschooling" threads!
Okay, I had made a few comments on other threads, but the only thing I got slapped down on was when I said that they should feel sympathy with the Palestinian families who were being shelled. As far as I can tell I didn't upset anyone, and my other comments were generally accepted as adding some sense to the discussions.
But then... someone spotted my name on FSTDT - where I had delicately hinted that some members of RR were several spanners short of a toolbox. That was it, my account was immediately and severely restricted - and without informing me of the reason.
But they've done it in such a way that I can't question it or delete my account, or even edit my own details!
I used to be "Lady Anne", by the way, but lost my name during the problems with FSTDT. I am now reborn as Cymraes.
On a more important note, I should like to add my thanks to Distind for keeping the site alive. This place is vital for my sanity!

Hey, I remember you! Welcome back! ;D
And it's OK. Buzzardhut banhammered me when I made some comments about how I got confused on some parts of the Bible (all that begatting). He asked me what kind of Bible I was reading, and I wasn't 100% sure, so I mentioned the NIV, which is the most common one (I think).
Well, apparently, there's no begatting in the NIV, so he banned me. Pretty stupid thing to ban someone for, I guess.

So the only sections left you can comment on are the womens & homeschooling sections? That's lame. I've never had an account there but I heard they ban any dissenting opinion, no matter what. Even if it doesn't ruffle feathers amongst the commentors, if BuzzardFuck doesn't like it, then he bans you.

I have an account there, but I've never posted. I just got it so that I could see threads some of the FSTDTers link to - and that's all, for srs. I made the mistake of taking a look around after the account was approved, and my brain started to melt and run out my ears.
How you guys can manage to post on it, I will never know. *Twitch, shiver*

Man, talk about overreacting. You weren't even trolling. Restricting someone just because they have an account elsewhere is the dumbest thing ever.
I also have an account there, but I've never posted. I just wanted to read the "members only" sections.
I also tried signing up for the Fighting Fudamental forums, and they denied my registration with no explanation. I sent them a message asking what happened, and they refuse to answer me. Bastards.

And yeah, I get all glassy eyed and it's almost like I can hear my IQ going down. It's so weird. The amount of smilies they use burns my retinas.

I'm still confused as to my situation. It SAYS to "take a break for a month," but the date the ban will be lifted says, "never." Buzzardhut seems to be ignoring my messages.
Seriously, how hard can it possibly be to say, "I don't know," or "X/X/XX," or "GTFO"?
I'll probably give it one last shot later today.

Hey, I got banned for attempting to make an account. I assume it's because I linked from here.
What happened was I clicked on a link on the main page, and got the login page. So I clicked "create account" thinking that way I'd be able to see the thread. Instead of a "welcome aboard" message, I got a banned message. So I'm assuming they knew I linked from here.

I got banned so fast on RR that I didn't even have time to make a single post. I suspect that my screen name "Sandman" was pre-banned.

The amount of smilies they use burns my retinas. I think those goddamn smilies are what starts the nausea off. I'm an emoticon whore, but I stay away from smilies as much as possible. I don't need to see little yellow heads doing jazz hands, worship, lololzor or whatever the fuck else they're addicted to using. If a picture's worth a thousand words, then a smiley's worth a two by four to the skull.

I made an account and was instantly banned. Might've been because I linked from here, might've been because my email addy wasn't explicitly christian. Kinda pissed me off, 'cause I thought my username was perfect for getting in. I'll try again some day, maybe make some BS email addy to sign up for all these sites.

A while I tried going directly to RR (not following a link) and creating an account. I never got the welcome e-mail. I didn't get banned - I just never got accepted!

Funniest banhammer ever. ;D For the record, it's the KJV that has the begatting. 225 of them, according to BlueLetterBible.org. It reminds me of a pop-maths lecture I attended where the guy was explaining geometric series in terms of the begats from the Bible.

How can you ban someone for their email address? I've never even bothered getting an account there. Most of them piss me off too much.
