How long before I get banned?

[Whiskey]

I suppose that is one reason why we here at VU are becoming a better forum at such an alarming rate Giraut, We don't tell our members what or where they can post, that is a liberty they OWN, not us, as opposed to what ECF staff think about their members.

 

[vaperature]

Look, if we want to be better than ECF, let's just ignore the damn place. All I'm saying is, if you ignore them, THEY look silly for editing out "vapingunderground". If you nag them, they can say "oh yeah, we do that because they keep pissing us off". Don't you see?

Methinks the result of the recent best of 2014 polls proves VU is doing something right just the way it is.

 

[jamieg71]

How about a low key trolling? Where can I get a good Vaping Underground banner to use for my siggy?
Edit, I just can't make myself write some obviously trolling post.

 

[Giraut]

Oh sure, I'm all for freedom. Far be it from me to advocate VU members be told what to do. That won't prevent me from thinking the OP's posts on ECF show lack of maturity, and reflect badly on us all as a community. That's all...

His post was rather obvious sure. Didn't seem to over the top though.

I guess for me it's therapeutic to be able to poke some fun at them and have a good life. I came out of there feeling used and violated. When things like this happens it gives me a chance to see how ECF really doesn't have any power over people and their power is like the Wizard of Oz behind a curtain. The only power they have is to censor people.

After a football game some people shake the losing teams hand, some bask in the glory of their win....

 

[jamieg71]

And some go streaking

 

[vaperature]

I think if your in the UK after a futball game you roam the streets looking to get into gang fights with opposing fans.

I have to say when I was there I meet a ton of really great people, its really the staff that gets under peoples skin over there and rightly so they get banned and come here to vent about it, its part of who we are.

Oh yeah I agree, and that's actually part of what made me feel so violated. I had developed all sorts of friendships with people that I hung out with for a year, then poof I was out of there like the drop of a hat, cut off from all of them. I mean, any mod there could look at my account and see that I was an active user and was a huge part of the forum, so perhaps a little discussion about what the problem was should have been in order, but no, it happened in the middle of the night like cutting the tag off a shirt.

 

[Whiskey]

Just how I felt, Exactly

So if someone wants to go in there and poke a little fun at them, have at it in my book. When you treat people like that you can't expect them all to be civil in return.

 

[JediTT]

I don't think I said anything offensive or rude. More like a little bragging, so I'm okay with myself.

Whether or not it was mature, meh. Sometimes people need a proverbial nut check, just saying.

What was your time?
It took me 13 minutes for saying "Hell-0, Have a nice day" to 10 new members.

Sooo....what did you do that they found disruptive?

 

[jamieg71]

Was browsing the new member area and I noticed how a member had had some posts edited by mods for spamming... So I introduced them to a new understanding of what spamming is. The poor guy was obviously just trying to get his five posts so he could ask a question elsewhere.

 

[Spike64]

LMAO...I love "disruptive"...encompasses so many things...much easier than citing any actually definition of any specific rules violation...allows them to make shit up on a whim as they go along...

 

[jamieg71]

They had just cause with me >.>

 

[vaperature]

disrupTIVE!!

Guide to not getting banned at ECF. Include one of the following phrases in your comment at all times:

"Golly gee, Beaver, that's nifty!"

"ECF is the cat's pajamas. I only buy from registered vendors!"

"I spend a good portion of my day building mods but I would never THINK about selling one. No way, Jose."

"Okay dokey, my friend, I will now ignore your passive aggressive baiting and wish you a lovely day. Cheers."

 

[Whiskey]

Lulzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[WiSilverVape]

By definition, isn't a BAN permanent? Just thinking out loud here. Something non-permanent would be more like a suspension.

 

[Whiskey]

"they" call it sin bin ban

 

[jamieg71]

Well folks, my apologies. Past few months have been a challenge for me. I moved from home, stopped smoking, I left my daughter, my reason for living, 1927 miles away. Top it all off, my kiddo turned 15 in Aug., I moved away, and I feel like a real chump.
I excuse shit to myself with the sobriety shit. 16 years IS something to be proud of, but here I am, I miss my little girl that really could care less at the moment.
So maybe I've acted a little immature, a little self righteous with nothing to stand on, and I had no right. Bad representation of how to act.
My apologies. I respect this forum and those of you that contribute. I don't know what got into me. My apologies. I always prided myself on being able to take anything on, on my own, and today, at the ripe young age of 44, I see that maybe its okay to accept some help.
Haha! Infractions all around for the off topic post. Thanks for the space to speak my mind, sorry for the bad representation, sort of, y'all is you, not defined by my actions, but still, I apologize.
Carry on now, nothing to see here.

that was cute. and i'm sorry about your kiddo situation. but you are very welcome here where you ARE ALLOWED to blow off steam on occasion. i know i do. and congrats on the 16 years. i am almost 22 months. take care.

 

[jamieg71]

Thank you both, I dunno about the congrats. I only stopped with a needle, I used to think that was enough but really, it ain't. No where near it. That realization has hit me hard down here. How can I tell my daughter what is acceptable when I wouldn't approve of her doing the things I do? That's rough. I mean I always knew I ain't no saint, but figured 'least I'm a good Dad. That shit was a lie.
Its all good. Took measure of myself and found me to be lacking.. Lol
I only pray the good lord continues to afford me the grace to redeem myself. For my beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Libbi) if nothing else. God bless y'all (if ya believe in that),
I thank you.

 

[Whiskey]

I wish you strength to deal with things that are going on, Stay strong for libbi, don't let her down, You may miss her but you haven't lost her. Be well my friend

we all have our demons. it's how you handle them that counts. sounds like you are at least on the right path now, which is everything. keep up the good work and you will see good results.

[moecat]

Posted elsewhere, but worthy for re-posting, in my opinion ...

Dear ECF:

 

[kelli]

i had a little bit of history for pushing the envelope there. i tested the mods several times and was awarded with infractions for my sins. i never did anything you would consider horrific tho.

but since i came here, started a thread that has become the most popular one at VU, i knew they would be laying in wait for me to slip up there.

i hadn't been there in quite awhile but decided to snoop around this morning. the first thread i go to, i see a moderator 'ing someone for daring to have an opinion about something. so i simply said something like "i see nothing has changed here, they are still trying to mute the masses". 2 min. later. ban hammer.
