RSC Banning

I wonder what in God's name is wrong with RSC. I post two harmless messages, one dealing with the noting the brillance of someone's poll and the other with a comment on the difference between "semanics" and "syntax", where a poster, claiming to be an English major, had unbelievably confused the two. Next thing I know my IP address was banned. This is easily gotten around, but it's the nature of the thing that is rather irksome, that someone was unable to deal with some very harmless criticism.

This must not be a problem of the content of your posts, but you may have gotten an IP-Adress, that was banned or marked as spammer before. This can happen, because you normally get you IPs variable from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This happened to me once with the result, that I couldn't send emails for one day, since I got a new IP.

I believe my master will suffer a similar fate before too long, due to all his trolling. "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G6y4k.24300$[email hidden]...

Looking at your profile (11:30 PM Friday) it says "Registered" so it looks like you're not banned or it would say "Banned". Maybe one of the Moderators had an over-reaction.

Well, it's nice to hide behind a wall and make these decisions, without having any real reason. I know over at the ARCA RSC forum, the developers of that game are quite touchy and they are losing a lot of loyalists over it. No matter that they've been promising a new track now for a month, their excuse being that it is not ready yet or they found some problems right before release. I'd like to see some of these moderators running ship in the real world. They wouldn't stay afloat for long, making snap decisions based on shifty evidence. And they couldn't hide behind the internet, acting big and tough. Oh, well, I can use a proxy for the time being: it isn't like I do a lot of posting anyhow. Mainly-- besides visiting the ARCA forum to see what new excuses the developers have invented-- I go to the iRacing forum, to see how things are going and maybe get some answers on when the invites are going to be able to join the service. But I'm for sure banned-- what tough guys those moderators are. Alan

> Maybe one of the Moderators had an over-reaction. Isn't that the definition of a moderator!? Moderation always ends up filtering out more good stuff than bad!

Ah, diddums!

reset your cable modem or DSL modem (get new IP leased from ISP) before you go too far in assuming the worst? "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:m9H4k.24882$[email hidden]...
