Banned

The MOD will gladly remind you it is a private board created by Court TV, and as such is not subject to the constitutional rights to free speech. This is one area of the TOS the finicky force does like to present. When you are ZAPPED by the power hungry moderator at Court TV; there is no trial, no defense, and no recourse to undo the silent hatchet job. You are locked out and all posts are deleted.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth without any bread
She whipped them all soundly, and put them to bed

Unlike most board moderators that might take a second to offer a word of caution when they see a pending storm brewing; at CTV board the MOD is usually silent. As cyber-brawls break out; I see a mental image of there was an old woman that lived in a shoe. Wildly waving arms saying; oh! Let them kill each other for all I care! Is this a way to job security perhaps? Although often heard whining about time constraints it seems they chose to bypass the shorter warning method for a wait until it is really a mess of bashes and fights. This, of course, is a self fulfilling prophecy since it then takes the clean up efforts similar to that of New York City sanitary engineers.

It is not uncommon to get banned or lose posts by "mistake" in these haste makes waste sweeps. At least that was the explanation given to some unfortunate members. They are also told it is impossible to be reinstated. Now, not only do we have incompetence delete a member without cause, but a liar comes into the mix! I have personally read posts where some were in fact reinstated after being banned!

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad." "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be, said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
