Got banned from TMF

[BraveHeart]

Ive been online since 1997 and have registered on many forums over the years.
And have never been prevented from logging on because i didnt complete my profile.
So I get a pm from Mick an admin on TMF "So i am now requesting you update your profile information, if you have not done so after 7 days, your account may be stalled. Mick " Whats the differance of being banned and having your account "stalled". Both dont allow you to log on and read the forums so this is the same as being banned. I requested to have my account deleted.

 

[Bob Foster]

No big loss....

 

[Goomer]

Why the issue with filling out your profile?
On the run from Longshanks?

 

[BraveHeart]

Its proper netiquette to give members the choice of giving every last detail. Or just remaining totally anonymous.
I had purchased from TMF a video for $99 from the TruckMountForums. They have all of my profile information including my address. After this U think ill be buying more items from TMF...Think again~

Says who?

Believe it or not, it is also the policy of this board, although it's not always enforced.

Personally, I prefer to know a little about who I am typing to.

They have a heavy finger on the banning button over there. Join the club. I was banned for no explanation other that I gave some simple ways to do a little SEO yourself. They must of throught it as a threat to future product sales.

It seemed to be a problem if someone mentioned products that are not "TMF approved" as it could be a conflict with sales. (The main purpose of the board)

The weird thing was, that they thought so much of my posts that they put their own signature at the end of all my former posts after I was bannned.

Really sleazy!!

Don't let it worry you, Mick is a drop kick wannabe carpet sucker from way down south that I believe was also instrumental in getting me kicked off from te mutha frickers 4rum.

In my eyes, one of the best moves they ever made.

The old saying goes, "you lay down with dogs, you get up with crabs".

Or someting like that. shiteatinggrin

Do kick me off Lockitt :shock: :shock: :shock:

People get the misguided impression because a forum is public they can do whatever they want.

Wrong! this is a private business and mikey can delete whoever he chooses for whatever reason he chooses. His house,His rules.

I would say show a little respect to the forum owners, it takes alot of work to keep this going for very little profit. If people do not like it start your own forum and find out how hard it is trying to keep all these personalities meshing.

and BTW Dave you should try buying advertising for once instead of mooching off of others hard work.

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah Dave, quit being a mooch.


Thanks Shane.

 

[Giorgio]

I won't give TMF the pleasure of banning me....

That honor is reserved for MB only!

Cheers!

Ditto- I think it is a good policy requiring a completed profile. Whether or not it has to be made public could be an issue though I can't imagine why someone would not want it made so. Personally I don'y like wierd names, I would rather everyone use there own name as there monikor so I didn't always have to figure out who the heck I'm reading.

 

[Brian R]

Or at least the first name and last initial. !gotcha!

I don't know.....if you start a forum for others to post on...I think there needs to be a good amount of freedom....other than malicious conduct.

If not....Then the creator can just sit there and post by himself.

Mikey has been nice enough to just delete (or move) all my posts that went overboard....He saves me from myself sometimes. thathurts

Haven't been banned yet....I'm not sure if TMF knows I exist even though I've been there all of a few times.

I like Mikey's Board because you can pretty much say whatever the heck you want as long as you stick to a few common decency rules. And the people here are pretty cool for the most part.

I can deal with that.

 

[Ken Snow]

I agree Brian, I am talking about for admin use not public. I just think people are turds that hide all their info. As for names I just get use to Richard's new one and then he changes it- I'm getting too old to remember :-)

The people that work on this board have been challenged a lot by members who consider it their god given right to do what ever they want with their profile. Anyone that has ever attempted to enforce this rule, and it actually is a rule of this board, has been crapped on by so many people that they have given up.

Personally I believe that everyone should fill out their profile completely and anyone who doesn't is just being an asshole just because they can get away with it. But then a lot of the assholes here make this place fun so the fake profiles or no profiles are tolerated.

Not my problem....

 

[Mikey P]

Ill make exceptions for those that are good contributors that feel the need to hide but I do find it chicken shitish of them.


The nut jobs are what makes this place so fun and addictive

Ain't it the truth!

 

[Shorty]

Aliases are one thing, nicknames can be something different...........

Many people use an aliase when they want to hide their true identity for a multitude of reasons.

These can be either good, bad or humorous.

Nicknames are usually put on someone by another person.

In my case, I got mine from my brothers nearly sixty years ago and it has stuck.

Just because I stand 5'6 & 1/2"

The other four brothers are all over 6'2"

Many times I got called runt, many times another name, (still do).

But Shorty has stuck all through the decades and that is what most people know me as.

If I was to use my proper name, it would seem like an aliase to me and very few would know to whom they were talking.

As for getting kicked off that other place, they did me a favour. shiteatinggrin

Ooroo, shiteatinggrin

 

[Brian R]

It's hard to be an asshole when people know who you are.

I don't mind it so much. :mrgreen:

 

[Lee Stockwell]

So braveheart chooses an Eric (Strate- Rob) Allen handle?

 

[Magic One]

That board sares me. Got a few virus.

 

[FB7777]

Talk about hiding in plain sight

Good work Lee

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Your's too Fred.

 

[Doug D]

I still get emails wanting me to update my status. :roll:

 

[Connor]

I joined after getting spammed, then they edited and moderated my first post. I didn't go back.

x 2
And I wish Mike did not make the exceptions.

 

[Mikey P]

Not sure what you mean Offer but if you're implying that I have been posting as someone else, it's been a LONG time.

 

[hogjowl]

Oh , and we all have missed it so ... :roll:

 

[Mikey P]

Poor Murry

He'll never forgive me for the time he thought Cooper took over the board at gun point..

 

[hogjowl]

so juvenile ... :roll:

 

[Mikey P]

And proud of it.
