I,m new too

Why not make your own intro thread and tell us a bit about yourself? Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I've never signed up to TTA, but I've heard about it. Are their mods a bit soup nazi-ish? I'm wondering why the ban, too.

I got banned cause I tested the hypothesis that at TTA you can be a total dick without repercussions(from the moderators).

What I did was this. I set a time frame of one week to conduct the test. I randomly selected a poster. Every time I saw that poster had made a post I replied by insulting that poster without any additional content. It turns out that yes you can be a total dick and you won't even get a warning.

What you can't do is test the hypothesis that at TTA you can be a total dick without repercussions. Once I revealed to the administrator that I concluded my test he banned me.

I'm cool with ban. You should never insult anyone. I'm not upset at TTA or the moderators there(although I think they are inconsistent and don't follow their own rules). Its actually a good little forum.

If you ever get a chance to check it out I recommend it.

Pretty sweet. You got banned for owning the admin.

It wasn't like that. I didn't own him. I think maybe I pissed off the owner or something because at first the admin was cool about everything. His last words to me were, "But again... you are under no restraint or probation".

I log off, come back later and find out the ban hammer came down. He made a complete about face.

It's always pretty sweet when you catch someone being hypocritical like that. Even if you do get the ban in response.

That transcends religious belief.

Ah, I understand Heywood. Well, hopefully you'll find that the staff here is more consistent. Smile

S'ok. They don't ban people here. Tongue
