Hilarious account suspension

    I registered as a member recently on Wholesale Forums.com less than a week ago. I go to post a reply in one of their thread discussions and for some odd reason I get the message I've been banned for You used a bad word. The following was my only post, where is the bad word I supposedly used:

    This has got to be the most hilarious account suspension ever. :p What hilarious, ridiculous reason were you given in the past for being banned or suspended from another forum or site?

    LOL- that is pretty funny-don't really see any bad words. I am a member of one forum that sometimes when I try to click in a paid area (and I haven't paid)-I will get a ban notice-however it has not ever been a real ban-just the notice. Its the only forum I have seen do that.

    Maybe they were offended by the word "geek"

    Or maybe the ban originated from your other posts :)

    Definitely Ban-worthy! :p

    Probably it is not manual & a very bad algorithm that did it for you... :D

    Some forums are just like that thanks to the "friendly" moderators. They just want to show off the "power" that they have.

    It implies that anyone that can or does assist/help you is a Geek…

    yeah somebody saw that post and was like "im going to ban this person because i can!" even though they had no right. did you ask someone to look it over and get back to you about it? The only thing i Can think of is the assist. Because if it's some kind of BOT program running and not a person it could see that and think its you swearing. Which is absolutely absurd.

    Oh I can beat that. I once got banned from a forum for being (and I quote) "Too whimsical"

    No great loss, the mods on that place were obviously the worst kind of power giddy nazi nerds.

    Agreed you should write it in more better way. You means to say anyone who helps you in doing it is geek? lol
