    But you never had any to begin with.
    I could have sworn Janitor vanished before that filter was put into place.

    Wow, I'm glad this place exists. I just found out I've been banned for all eternity from the actual TVTropes forum for completely BS reasons. Incoming nerd rage cuz I have nothing better to do:

    - I make a post on Yack Fest titled "IJBM: The saying 'Name one war that was started by religion.", followed by an actual meaningful post in the message body. At the very end of that message, I wrote "Yeah, that's right, I'm bringin' it back. Deal with it. Seriously though, see topic title."

    - Apparently, and I didn't know of this at the time, this consisted of me trying to reshape the forums into IJBM v2. You heard it here first - Jokingly referencing an internet meme is attempting to retake an entire forum.

    - .I then made another account, where I made the following posts in this order: A) A post on Yack Fest asking if I had been banned; I was then linked to the Wiki Talk topic about pleading bans, which I didn't know existed, so I was on merry way over to that topic. B) A post in the previously mentioned ban pleading topic, and C) A post on the video game boards responding to a topic with a completely on-topic post while I was getting bored waiting for a response about my ban.

    - The above apparently consists of ban evasion, resulting in a permanent ban. So apparently I'm being punished for breaking completely unwritten rules, and no matter how many times I say that there was no ill will, and not even any evidence that what I did was worth a PM, let alone a ban, they're going for the tough love "ignorance of the law is no excuse" route, which doesn't accomplish anything but having less posters overall.

    tl;dr - The TVTropes mods are a bunch of overzealous and egotistical jackasses who respond to any criticism with "If you don't like it you can leave" and abuse their userbase like they're doing them a great favor by simply having the site exist, despite the fact that the entire site would be absolutely nothing without the userbase that created it.

    yeah, i mad

    No kidding.

    Well I assume you're welcome here, just don't constantly bitch about the mods. That's not why this place exists.
  • TravisBickleTravisBickle
    Nah, I'm cool. Just needed to get that initial venting out the way, y'know? The really insulting part is that they literally wanted me to apologize profusely on hands on knees to have a chance of being let back in. I was like, wow, really?

    *shrug*

    Things happen. I'm not sure if I agree with your banning, :/ though I did want that particular thread gone (had no idea "deal with it" was a meme, yep. :x) anyway yeah, welcome.

    Eeeesh, ED.

    I mean I know now, obviously. But I'd rather not click on that link.

    Shit dude, that sucks. But I don't think you should generalize about the mods like that. I haven't been impressed with Fast Eddie lately, and Madrugada's been a little abrasive sometimes, but I haven't personally seen anything problematic from the other mods.

    If any of us get banned, how about asking someone else here to ask about it before doing something that could be perceived as ban-evading?

    Mentioning us over there outside the context of sig advertisements apparently counts as Importing Drama. So I wouldn't.

    You don't have to mention where or how you contacted the person.

    Let's link to Know Your Meme for explanations on memes. They might be less funny, but they're worksafe and way more thorough.

    To be fair though, that article I linked to is really nothing but a gallery page without really any writing or comments.

    Also, how do I do quotes?

    I'd like to know that too, actually.

    I thought it went like this, but I forgot.

    "You have to hit "Show Source" (the piece of paper with < > on it) before you add the
    . It's a pain, TBH, so just italics will work too.,"

    Hm...

    That's because it is.  You see, if you're banned, that means that the mods don't want you there, which means you shouldn't be posting.  They'll usually allow you to post in the thread for banned users a bit, but that's it.

    Although it did open two pop-up windows, one to online roulette and the other to a site about «naughty chat» with girls in Aberystwyth for some reason.

    I can ask Eddie about the possibility of lifting your ban if you want, but I think I know what the answer will be, given the circumstances.

    I think that might be some adware on your computer. I turned off adblock to check for myself and nothing came up.

    Sure, if you'd like to, go right ahead. Not like I'll get double-banned if he says no, right?
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi

    Right.  I'll ask.

    I get that kind of thing every time I click on an ED page, but maybe I just have a shitty pop-up blocker.

    I was wondering why you weren't posting on the fora. Nice to see you here.

    @travis: We can be ban buddies!

    On that note, I've generally found the tvtropes mods to be pretty nice and amiable.
  • PykretePykrete
    I have from day one on the forums and continue today to be impressed with the other mods.  None of the doubt I've expressed at Eddie's recent rampage is directed at them.
  • snowbullsnowbull

    Yeah, Tvtropes really couldn't ask for better mods.

    Oh cripes.  I just linked to my post in the Fire Emblem thread here in my post in the Avatar Theme Organizing Thread there.

    I'm also surprised that this thread could fall to the third page.

    I wouldn't think that kind of casual linking will actually get you in trouble, any more than a casual link to any other forum you may post on.

    Especially since the thread you linked to wasn't bitching about other tropers or mods, like some other threads here.

    But I haven't confirmed this, so don't quote me on that.

    Part of my comment was sarcasm, implying that something like that ought not to get me in trouble, and would be funny if it did.

    @Glenn: Enjoy your b&, etc. etc.

    I'm actually kinda proud. Things falling off the front page quickly is the true sign of IJBM.

    Heheheheh. Hi Travis!

    Remember that one thread about cat sex? Where somebody brought up Duck sex, and you were all like

    "DUCK SEX! RABBIT SEX! DUCK SEX! RABBIT SEX!"

    That made me laugh for days. Thank you. ^^

    It warms my heart that Myr cares enough about me to inquire about my banning. I love you, dude.

    Do any of you think I would have a better chance pleading to be unbanned now that its been 3-ish weeks?
