G+_Vance McAlister Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Testing 1, 2, 3. Just testing to see if I am banned here as well Wanted to check to see whether I have been banned from this community as well. It seems that TWiT (the community moderator) banned me from the main TWIT G+ Community for posting about TNT having won the Best Tech Podcast award. The discussion turned to the obvious irony, and it was deleted. I post about it being deleted and boom, banned! So, testing to see whether I can post here.

G+_Steve Douglas Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Um...I just saw essentially the post from you in the TNT Community. It's almost like you're trying to get censored now. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vance McAlister Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Steve Douglas I suppose it is taking a position, but it is not inflammatory or anything. I think it falls entirely into the category of fair discussion. Definitely not the type of post that I could ever see being deleted or resulting in a ban. Just seems so overreactive.

G+_Vance McAlister Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Steve Douglas wait, are you talking about my original post about the award (I posted it in both forums). I thought that was fairly innocuous, but got deleted anyway. If you are talking about the post about me being banned from the TWIT community, then yes, that was a bit more direct. The problem with bans is that they happen behind the scenes and, when unjust, can be like coverups. No one even knows they happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Douglas Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I was referring to the TNT post, not the post that got deleted or the comment that got you banned. I agree that censoring was highly overreactive for those. And asking about it in the TNT community was understandable. It just seemed a wee bit out of place here, especially since you didn't get banned from the TNT community for the earlier post. Just sayin'. :-) Love ya, man!

G+_Vance McAlister Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Steve Douglas yes, you're the voice of reason and wisdom, I was wanting to vent more than anything. Thanks for the reality check, what friends are for! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
