lol, you'd think that Mr. T was some sort of martyr the way you're going on about him.

The forum administration is completely capable of making their own decisions. T's been abusing his power for over a year. He needed to be removed and he was. Your Halloween story has nothing to do with politics. And now that you see how it's being "defaced," you understand the kind of garbage that we've had to deal with from T. Oh, except for one little thing, the posts we made were actually related to politics. Go figure.

What does this have to do with politics?

This topic is now about trains.

I love how cal doesn't understand the irony in what he's saying. Cal, Woody and I are the only victims of the censorship banhammer. And our accounts are banned by none other than your hero Mr. T, who banned us because he disagrees with what we say.

I got a similar notice also from Mr. T my primary account is also banned until September 1st. Now, I don't necessarily disagree with this, I all but begged to get banned, but if I get banned and vapor gets banned others need to get banned as well, and you all know who you are. Why don't we try posting with a little less animosity and offensiveness across the spectrum, and we can all enjoy this board. If other members continue to be scandalous, offensive and insulting I will also continue to do so...its hard to silence a member with no set ip address, so let's keep it clean and easy and not make this a hostile place for anyone to post. Ok?

Yeah, I completely agree. I was being an utter dick, myself, but we all know there were others on the other side of the spectrum doing the same exact shit. Oh yeah, when I registered this account, take a look at what I found in the rules...

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

I'm game for abiding by that if everyone else does, too. Except maybe the sexually oriented thing, seeing as that's a hot-topic in politics. But I'm interpreting that message more as saying "DONT POST PORN"

My primary account, VaporTrail, has ZERO access to the forums, my profile, the messenger, or anything else. And, I can't find any evidence of posts that I've made in the past. If you send messages to that account, the only way I'll be able to read it is via email notification, and I won't be able to respond to them.

If you check out my user profile

http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showuser=88

And try to click the posts or topics I've made, nothing comes up. I get this message when I log into that account.

[#1000B] You are not allowed to visit this forum.

So I see that I have two unread messages, but can't access them, so I go to my email and find this:

VaporTrail,

Mr. T has sent you a new personal conversation entitled "You need disciplined".

Mr. T said:

======================================================================

You need disciplined for your actions un becoming of a man let alone someone who seeks to be a professional. Dont worry Zombo will clean this shit up for you

======================================================================

I'm pretty sure this is T's doing. So can we make absolutely sure that his moderation abilities have actually been removed. Knowing how much he seems to hate me, heck and woody, I wouldn't put it past him to come back here and periodically ban us just to get under our skin.

Furthermore, Woody also messaged me that he was banned, but it would appear that he can actually access the boards and messenger. If it wasn't T who did this, then who did? Clearly, he didn't like us, and I'd like to know two things.

1 - Is Zombo the only one that can restore my account (if it's even possible)?

2 - How many people got banned?

Thanks, and I look forward to a forum where everyone is free to state their point of view, no matter where it lies on the political spectrum.
