OK...Friday, for no apparent reason...I was banned from the MAMEWORLD forums. I now get the usual UBB BANNED screen every time I visit.
I have emailed twisty...I have clicked on the CONTACT button and filled out the email...
All I really want to know is "WHY". Sure...i'd love to be allowed back...but more importantly, I want to know WHY i was banned. I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what in the hell I could have done there to cause a banning...
SO...if you are "at one" with any of the mods there...can you do be a favor and drop them a line asking WHY in the hell FrizzleFried is banned...and for how long.
THANKS!
-
Quick, someone ban this guy.
-
Where would he complain about us banning him? Can we start a ban/whine pattern for him?
-
Bah...I am not complaining...just trying to get to the bottom of it. If I was talking ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, or something then I could understand why...but I truly have NO CLUE as to why I got banned...and I think it may be a mistake or something.

I'm almost certain it's a mistake, or someone hates you. But other than that I can't think of anything.
-
Maybe someone hates him by mistake.
-
I can't even find your profile in the list.
-
Peale: I am there....many posts...under "FrizzleFried"....
...and I DO appreciate the help.
It's GOTTA be a mistake...I mean...hell..I'm a nice guy!
-
hell..I'm a nice guy!
Don't buy it. I say the same thing.
-
It's simple really... You're from Nampa - which reminds Americans of Pampa, which sounds like Pampers, which is a brand of diaper...
:D
-
Maybe it's because you tried to log into WAMEWORLD.

An update (as if anyone gives twoshits)...
...nothing. I still don't have any idea why I was banned. I did manage to get ahold of Mr. Do via email, who promised to look in to things...though I have yet to hear back from him.
...sigh...
-
A quick search brings up all of your posts : long link (http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/dosearch.php?Cat=&Forum=All_Forums&Words=FrizzleFried&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts)
I offer no real help, I'm just bored and felt like posting something ;D.
-
Yah...even that link gets me:
We cannot proceed.
Your account has been banned or locked: You are done.
Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

Who cares about MAMEWorld anyway? :)

Wayne's World?

This is getting to be some real "F'in" "BS"....
...no less than 3 different moderators at MW know of my plight...yet I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE "F" I AM BANNED from the damn boards. Noone has returned a single email. (edit: Actually...Mr. Do! replied he would look in to things...2 days ago....nothing since...but at least he replied!)
If this "BS" doesn't get resolved soon I am just going to take on another identity over there so I can download the MAMEWAH files I need and the rest of em can kiss off...
...I figured I have been a contributing member over there...an asset to the board...but evidently SOMEONE over there doesn't see it that way...but what really pisses me off more than anything is that no one there has had the class to even email me with the reason for my being "S"-canned. ...why not just kick me in the nuts while I am down?
-
...why not just kick me in the nuts while I am down?
As Chief Kicker, this is my responsibility. I will be right over.
-
...sorry folks...evidently my frustration with the situation is showing through...
CHADTOWER: Position assumed...
-
. o O ( the boy is not smrt )
-
This BS saga continues. I STILL have no idea why I am banned from MAMEWORLD forums. I have asked no less than 5 moderators...I have had 2 tell me they would look in to things...and 3 others completely silent....
...thus far...NOTHING. This is BS of the highest order. Can SOMEONE friggin' tell me why in the hell I am banned????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Jesus H. Christ Almighty...this sucks.
-
Seriously, why do you care so much? If they don't want your input then it's their loss. And you can still read the boards anonymously.
-
Welp...I oftentimes download bezel artwork for my PC MAME rig...I download MAMEWAH updates...I get quite a bit of advice about my monitors from Italie, the mod of the Arcade Hardware forum...and other things. Right now I am frustrated cuz I have a number of questions I would like to ask Italie...and....well...i just want to know WHY???!!!
-
Can't you just open a new account?
-
If I get to a point where I NEED a file...i will do that.
I guess I am one of those people who gets disturbed at bullsh*t like what is going on. It is more a principle thing than anything else.
...and it is therapeutic to vent...hence this post.
-
I don't know what you did to get kicked.
Did you p.o.'d the mamedevs?
Talk about naughty stuff?
Didn't praise the mamedevs enough?
I bet that's it.
-
I still have no idea what I did and no one seems willing to step up to the plate and say. Seriously...I have not posted anything "risque" at all...
I think/hope it's a mistake but JESUS I can't get through to anyone to get this rectified.
-
Maybe you said something that was misunderstood as insulting? Or maybe it's a forum bug?
dunno.
-
I was once banned for a month from an online game because some mod apparently thought that I was cheating (firing without losing power). I wasn't cheating and in fact noone complained when I was playing (which is quite unlikely with such an obvious cheat), but it could not get the ban lifted. Actually I got only one response (that someone would look into it).
Guess in the online world you are just depending on the mood of the moderators and that they don't make mistakes. Sometimes you have more luck than other times.
-
Welp...now when I type in "mameworld.info" or click on any link that goes to mameworld.info, it redirects me to GOOGLE.COM!?!?!?!?!?!?
I have verified this with 2 PC's and a MAC....running XP and OS9.... using Internet Explorer, Firefox, and old school Mozilla on the OS9 box....and this is my HOME IP!
Only explanatiion I have: Someone with an axe to grind has somehow banned my IP to the point it now redirects me! (is this possible?) I can't even friggin' read the forums anonymously now!!?!?!!!
-
Congratulations on the ban being lifted!
I've seen your apology on MameWorld.
Calling the mods gods is a little over the top, but coming out of the closet like that takes a lot of courage.
Good for you.
-
Uh...what are you talking about? I still can't get on the friggin' site. I get redirected to Google...
-
Dude, you really went a bit far in that apology. The offer of sexual favors for their pets was over the top.
-
Uh...what are you talking about? I still can't get on the friggin' site. I get redirected to Google...
You surfing there from work? Maybe someone in IT is having fun with you.
-
I am not surfing from work....from HOME! So no...it's something on that end...
...and stop screwing with my guys...I am having a really bad day today and this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is getting really really old (not your comments...the entire situation).
-
Well...I can't tell you what you did...but whatever it was must have been a doozie. I've been told specifically not to engage you, so...fare thee well.
-
I told John about this post.
He said no one has been banned/blocked recently.
John thinks your mom or dad might have installed a child lock program on your computer.
MAMEWORLD isn't concerned with being affiliated with safe for kids software, so that program could be blocking you.
-
That's actually a really good guess. I'll bet that's it.
-
Funny stuff....
Whatever. I have no idea what I did...and I surely hope Peale was BSing when he said he was told specifically not to "engage" me...
I just wish a person involved in this crap...any of em (if there is more than one), would have the class to at least let me know what in the hell I did.
-
have you tried to log on from a computer not connected to your home network?
-
Missioncontrol...i'm banned. It's a fact. Dunno why. But it is what it is. My IP is now even banned. Which is ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- ridiculous, but it too is what it is. All this ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- and I don't even know what the reason for it is...and not one of the people involved with this decision has had the class to even email me a "get screwed" email. Whatever.
If I use a proxy server I can get in...
-
I have no idea about that forum, or who you are or what you did. But considering the fact that no one here did it to you maybe you could take five and just relax a little? You seem pretty wound up at the moment and that's probably why what should be funny jibes are hitting a little too close for comfort.
Chill dude. :cheers:
-
JBox: You are right...I am a little more than frustrated with this situation. Screw em'. May the nutless wonder who banned me get hit by an ice cream truck.

If it makes you feel better I can maybe find a get screwed form letter and e-mail it to you.....

Its possible that not you personally got banned, but your ISP or IP range, as you indicated above.
Lets say you are with Compuserve (remember them?) and you spammed a bunch of kids to buy Frosted Flakes instead of Rice Krispies.
The op or mod can then ban you for being a cereal pest, but since you might be on a dynamic addressing system - the op or mod just banned the whole range, offing you and some poor other peeps into the bargain.
Hey the ops or mods don't really care, as it is one less to worry about, and I bet you didn't click on any of their adverts..... And the funny thing is they don't want you back. :laugh2:
Thats my suggestion of the day. Proxy server? No I don't think so.
So change ISPs you name, avitar, address, etc. and keep quiet about breakfast. ;D
-
No, I was serious.
-
3 pages worth of bitching about why you can't get in, calling them classless, "nutless wonders", :blah:
Yeah, it's a friggen riddle wrapped in an enigma as to why you wouldn't be wanted somewhere ::)
What's next, telling us about bars that won't let you in or credit card companies that won't issue you a card?
:lame:
Maybe if you keep posting over here, that'll seal the deal and they'll just drop EVERYTHING and get to working on YOUR problem. Or they may just decide that a mistake turned out to be a better thing than they ever thought.
-
I am done with the ranting about this crap...drop it.
-
Some of them try to whine but they can't whine like this.

Hey Chad,
When I first read your sig I thought it said, "In my house ADD means "Ass SMOKING deficit disorder"...hehe...
-
Your unconscious desires betray you again. :laugh2:
-
I dunno...you have a nice ass?
-
Don't be a wuss. Say it like you mean it.
-
...alright....alright....you got me....
Gimme some o' dat ASS biatch!
...er...or not.
-
Good. Sound off like you got a pair. Then put them away, no one needs to see them.
-
Sheesh...get a room you two lovebirds!
