I've replied to you twice with as much detail as possible...what is your exact ask? Free access for 90 days for anyone who was previously banned? Unless @topjimmy says otherwise, that's not going to happen. You want to know how many people were banned? No idea...but it was many. Hundreds, if not into thousands, as a rough guess. But what does that actually matter? Like we've said repeatedly, we're mainly interested in moving forward. If your membership here is contingent on what other members do, be my guest. If you want to be a lurker, that's fine. If you want to be here and actively contribute and receive intel, that's more than welcomed too. If you are truly sorry for beating a dead horse like you stated, then stop beating it.

The changes that have taken place, including a previous mod that is no longer here, along with members being reinstated after being unfairly banned has happened and will continue to happen. All other mechanisms of how the site operates, including writing reviews to earn private details access, that access being 45 days per approved review, etc. will stay the same. Barebones review that does not provide much intel will not be approved.

Unless I missed it, of all the posts that you've made under your new handle, you have yet to mention what your previous handle was, and haven't asked for it to be reinstated. Why is that? Let us know what it is, and we'll see what we can work out.

It would help greatly if we knew what your previous handle was...[/QQUOTE

let me start by saying that Respectfully, I had posted to TJ... he stated that he was the man. Top dog. Head honcho. Buck stops here guy.. everyone on the board seemed to agree w that.. as far as anyone else, I don't k ow anyone here. Don't have a group of homies, don't have a few dudes in my clique that lube each other up after each post w a thumbs up and an attaboy. I tried to contact the site and thought I did through the contact us feature. I thought that the notification in my box was the reply. You telling me to trust me we've got this all figured out is pretty much what everybody heard before 1000 people got banned. I'd like not to air my main concern or fear on this board in this forum and immediately start the nonsense from the defenders of the universe.

I did try to contact the site and I sent two notifications of who I was and my activity. I also tried contacting the site from various IP addresses Ober the past 3 months ...I have stated that I posted 3 reviews. 1 banned w my IP blocked because I forgot to put the name of the attendant or the phone number. I dont recall. It was messed up because it took me a while to get up the comfort to even try. I then created a new handle. Put up a review of another place and received access and only then realized what some of the reviews include as ID NEVER SEEN ONE SO DIDNT KNOW ..I thought that mgmt was aware that I had the new handle and was letting it slide as the first banning was ridiculous. A discussion came up and I contributed to it and someone threatened that I could be banned. I said I already was. I then wrote a new review and it was not accepted for Something completely inconsequential. That review was rejected and then I was banned for violation of TOS. The second ban I could understand as I stated I'd had access previously and was banned. The first was zero reason and the rejection of the review was BS.

I saw several guys say they had paid for service and gotten banned. The site was bending over backwards to refund them those fees and reimburse/ reinstate their service. To me. A bigger gesture would be to reinstate the access to the guys that got banned that actually wrote a review for that access. Those are the people adding to the site. Those are the lifeblood of the site and those reviews are what makes people follow. Not the guy that paid for access ( although they should also be taken care of)

My ask is simple. Every member that is being reinstated and had access at the time of the bullshit ban should be reinstated w access. It's a simple ask. It's fair to all of those guys. Also if someone was banned because of missing info on a review and never got access.. they should get the 45 days as well. Is that an outrageous ask? It is the easiest request imaginable. If TJ does not want to do it that is fine.

But after reading his post which you provided to me, I'd say that he is all about making things right and would think he would be all over making that happen. It gets guys involved agsin, it makes people active and it gives them the thing they were denied by this site .. access to review. It isn't a permanent access it's merely rewarding them for the contribution to this site that they already made. As soon as that access is up they either write reviews or become lurkers as u would say.

My tone and my post may not sit well w you but your reply to me seems like sosdd at this site.

So look at the message ai sent through the website and u will know exactly who I am and u can even cross reference my IP which the site and its mods can do ...or just take the "2" off of my handle to find out what my first handle was.

I think that the outcome I asked for ...not just for me but people that contributed... Is a no brain .."absolutely" after reading TJs note I thought he would agree wholeheartedly. Your response was not what I expected..


No disrespect to you but I was expecting a reply from TJ or no reply at all. The last time someone in your position didn't like my posts ...well we already know about that.

Cheers mate.

You couldnt be more clear. Let's move on and get out there,have some fun a post some reviews for continued access.

Actually I have no Idea who is responsible and who is who. Do you know who all of the moderators are? If you a question to me and I had the ability to fulfill that ask for yiu and everyone else, would you want the answer to that post to be that..... the guys u asked probably wont accomodate you so move on .... especially when u just were told that there would be no responses of that nature from people who should t be giving thst responses ..... isn't that how this all went down in the first place??
Respectfully there were lots of people that got hosed and I thought my request was really reasonable. Do you think it's not?

Let me answer yiur question w another... were you one of the people that was banned? Did u pay for access to the site and then get banned? Did u provide reviews tonshare w members and get banned because u made a mistake and tried to understand what you did wrong because u had never written one. Did u have your IP address blocked?

I am not demanding anything. I asked for something. In fact I read a few posts from the ACTUAL HEAD OF THIS BOARD, who stated that he was going to right some of the wrongs. I popped onto the site from vacation of all places and only got on because the site didn't recognize my IP or I'd still not be here.

Do you think I am wrong to request that the guys that posted reviews and got banned right after ....get a chance to view some material. Is that wrong?

I actually think you are out of line. No I dodged a lot of rAMPage's bullets. It is si easy to get private details by putting in a review, most reinstated members are not going to miss a beat. I'm not sure why the complaint since most everything is being fixed.

I do know who the three moderators are and one of them responded to your post. He explained that what you are requesting most likely isn't going to happen. That's pretty much it. You mentioned in an earlier post that you felt some hesitation about posting a review. I would respectfully suggest that you forget that and post one so you have private access and continue enjoying the benefits of this site.

Thank you for telling me that u think I am out of line. NONE OF THIS IMPACTED YOU... you were not banned.. My ask was not for you. It was something I wanted to put out there and that I first tried to do privately away from the board. Maybe if I had asked for only myself and been all about me, my ask would have been taken care of like some of the others. However, I asked on behalf of people who were all impacted. I am certain the likelihood of that being met Is far less than a request for myself. So you can respect that I'm looking at this and trying to respect all of the people on this board or you can take offense to it. What is offensive about agreeing to the terms of participation amd then when you do what's been required, you ask for the other end to do that part that was promised? In your case the agreement was met but in my case and that of some others perhaps it was not. So let me suggest that you stay in your lane in regards to what I do as participation and I'll stay in mine as it pertains to you and your expectations.
Cheers

Once again it's in the details. As u stated quite elloquently "He explained that most likely my ask would not be met." However I wasn't asking him. I'm not trying to disrespect him personally but I will stick to the rules and do my part here and shouldn't need to worry about moderators. Who's in the club and who's not. Be cool to everyone and go about my business. That's my way. I'll leave the head bobbing and kneeling for the providers.

Thank you for bringing me back.
For those who keep to themselves and have no one to speak up for you, I used the contact us at the bottom of the page and emailed my handle and asked to be reinstated. It took a little longer since I am sure they are inundated with email requests but here I am again.

I had my paid account banned by mister R. He even gloated about the fact that he banned a paid account in the politics thread. I was annoyed; I even thought about burning an account and coming back to curse him out; was surprised no one had. It was immature; and never a serious consideration; but I did consider it.

The first reaction to seeing top Jimmy’s post was “oh man mr R is going to ban this guy into oblivion” until I realized he was the owner and a wave of relief and happiness appeared. So I guess I don’t get the anger and demands. What did we lose $15? Move on. Be excited. A wrong is being corrected; the adults are now in charge. This is a time to be happy and write reviews and enjoy what this site has to offer.

This should NOT have happened, but we're super glad and encouraged by your restraint and more importantly, your attitude and perspective on moving forward. From one adult to another, you have our respect.

My friend...it's not $15 dollars. Did u carefully read my post. This site has tons of rules and regulations. All of which were demolished by the people in charge. I did my part to be a member (as did probably a 1000 other people) and the site did not. It wasn't too much to ask that the site deliver back what was taken without cause. It appears that the site does not want to do that and it's their right. The fact that 1000 plus people left and it wasn't noticed is enough to lmk that nobody is afraid if I stop participating. It was a request. It was simple a d nobody should be offended that I asked.

I absolutely appreciate your civil tone . Cheers man

Topjimmy - didn’t realize there was a post about banned members and here I am. Unsure why I was banned could it because of inactivity/lack of reviews? If you wouldn’t mind reinstating me and letting me know what the reason was I hope to do better.

We appreciate your civil and respectful tone too. I’m gonna respond to you, and I’m gonna be very direct with you so please don’t misinterpret this as disrespect.

First off, who exactly appointed you as spokesperson for all previously banned members?? I don’t believe anyone did, so if you’re gonna tell others to stay in their own lane then you better practice what you preach.

I’ve had a personal private conversation with damn nearly every member I have restored in the past few weeks from being unfairly banned. Anyone and everyone who mentioned an issue with paid or earned access that had been lost was compensated for the lost access generously. In other words, the access was restored and more often than not they ended up with more than they lost.

Now I have no idea what your motives are coming on this thread and positioning yourself as some sort of champion of the people; advocate for the unfairly banned but judging from the reactions it’s getting it appears to be putting you at odds with the very group you are attempting to speak for…not sure if that’s what you were going for.

Here’s my advice-take your own advice and stay in your own lane, speak for yourself, and worry about your account and your account only. Not everybody else’s. Their account is none of your business.

It’s simple-rather than pointing to previous posts or restating what you have said already, save everybody the time and trouble. Just send me a private message. I’m here. I’ll get it. Tell me if you’d like your previous account reinstated. You’ll find your account restored in a matter of moments. If you feel you lost money or access, tell me that too. I’ll see to it you’re taken care of. Don’t talk to me about everybody else’s account. I’ll talk to you about your account. Fair enough? I certainly think so.
