I can’t post multiple images on this site which is seemingly the only other non-dead internet forum on the whole entire web. Got temp-banned for making a “threatening” joke against house centipedes. Got twmp-banned for answering an AskReddit question. Got shadowbanned for posting about my two temp bans.

    I was banned recently, my second ban (in 15 years), for saying that I wouldn’t mind if Iran wiped Staten Island off the map. I’m not sure I need to include context, Staten Island is terrible.

    My previous ban, probably a year ago, was because I said it should be okay to crash your car into people with obnoxious mods (bright lights, pop tunes, etc.).

    Both bans were for calling for violence, which maybe the first ban you could argue was, but the second one definitely wasn’t. And so the part that bothers me most, and the point of the story, is that they offer a route to dispute your ban, which I did, and never hear anything back either way. I want my due process.

      Weirdly, I can kinda understand how the second one is a call for violence, but not the first. You’re just expressing your neutrality towards another country’s actions. Surely they can’t expect you to have an opinion about everything.
