Forum: RSF Subforum

Issue: I was autobanned and do not understand why, cannot contact or PM anyone about it, and unbanning my account removed all my upgrades

Explanation - 3 days ago I was attempting to post a Mark Hamill is cool thread in the Star Wars Subforum and the thread I started was instantly gas chambered and I was autobanned by Radium. My Rap Sheet just says "Breaking the rules with a loving awesome thread" but I have reread the Star Wars forum rules and don't understand what rule I broke. I have restored my account with another $10 and cannot figure out what happened or why I was banned. When I went to ask about it, Radium has no contact info and the two admins listed (Garbage Day and Doc evil) did not respond. The thread did not seem any lower content than the existing "Adam Driver" thread and contained no bad words or uncomfortable language I have also discovered that despite paying for reactivating my account, I have lost all my forums account upgrades and cannot send PMs.

I would please like to know A) why was I banned and for what reason so I know not to do it again and B) why does it say that Reactivating my account with "Fully Restore it" when I've lost all the stuff I've purchased over the years to support SA and Lowtax. I had No Ads, Platinum, and Archives upgrades but Archives is the only one still active, Platinum and No Ads have been deactivated and I lost my Avatar.

In the decade+ that I've been posting here I've never been banned and whenever I've been probed for non-joke reasons I take those punishments to heart and don't post those words and if people are upset with the way that I post I do tend to go back and edit out mean or vitriolic responses. Please help me understand why I was banned and how to prevent it in the future, and please either restore my Avatar and paid upgrades or explain to me why Archives was restored but my other upgrades were not.

How does one post 4.20 times per day (nice) for over eleven years and not know what autobanning is or that radium is long gone or who the current admins are?

It was at least a 25 dollar joke, between reregging+losing plat+losing their av.

CannonFodder posted:

Do new users not get a free av while signing up, like during the process there would be a box of "Place avatar image here"

I just assumed people with stupid newbie avs just glossed over that part and signed up without looking.

yeah the reflexive ban was hilarious when we were teenagers trying to jockey for social status but now it just kinda feels pointless.

What went wrong is that even though Trump is obviously guilty the republicans will do anything to remain power. Including keeping that assclown in office.

skeleton warrior posted:

I’m receiving reporting from Earth-2, where they made the impeachment investigation in the House more deliberate and waited for the courts to reject all of their subpoenas, and apparently Ramirez has just come out with a cartoon saying that if the Democrats actually thought Trump was a danger to the office, they’d be going much much faster, so it’s all obviously a sham

Edit: also, apparently the term “hoofer mama” is a thing there, and I don’t get it

Edit2: okay its a dog meme thing, Twitter is just as hosed up over there

Ugly In The Morning posted:

I did the reg process up to the credit card confirmation and didn’t see any option for an included av.

And regardless of that, pretty sure he had a cup head av, so that definitely didn’t come with an account he registered in 2008.

2008 had a weird point in time when if you didn't buy one, you just got nothing, not even the stupid newbie. They definitely weren't free, I know that. It's how I went 11 years without an av.

Ugly In The Morning posted:

2010 was the same way, I didn’t have any av at all til like 2018.

At registration you can either specify an avatar or custom title.

If you just fill out the custom title, you get the custom title but no avatar.
If you just fill out the avatar information you get the avatar but no custom title.
If you leave both blank you get the stupid newbie avatar.

Posted by m2pt5 on October 25, 2005

It may have been possible to specify an avatar upon registration in the past, but currently the only option is to specify a custom title. If you do not, you get the "stupid newbie" avatar.

It seems like all the cats are trying to gently caress Victoria or seduce her all the time. Nothing ever gels. The elements of the film Sit on top of each other like strata of filth. The horniness isn’t part of the story it’s this just terrible disconnected element that accompanies the other things like how the words and actions often seem at odds. The Naming of Cats takes place in a cemetery and instead of cats being spooky to the audience it’s all the cats treating her like a swinger cult that just tricked a nice sheltered girl to their sex party.

Rebel Wilson just blasting her splayed cervix at the screen like some hellish gynecologist appointment. The mice children are more disturbing each time. She eats babies. She calls the child-mice “dinner and a show”. In her song alone she manages to be a thousand Jar Jar’s in ever second. She makes the racist robots in Transformers 2 seem endearing. The roaches. The roaches. Her skin. She kicks the cake. Feasting on them. Horrifying. It really is one of the most terrible things ever released on film.

There’s so much work work and creativity in the terrible movie. Its amazing how every. Single. Joke. Fails. 100%.

The pet where Rum Tum Tigher is about to suck Victoria’s toes. The milk. The spurting milk.

I still hate James Corden I want him destroyed. The trash orgy. Jesus. Jesus Christ why? The visuals and music are disagreeing. Or they don’t even seem to be in the same room even. Why do they interrupt the song every few seconds for another nightmare? Who the gently caress is Tom Hooper? What is wrong with his brain? This was all intentional. They didn’t just accidentally create this entire horrible trash eating orgy of fat jokes and nut shots and filth.

Mungojerry and Rumpleteezer have an incredibly skeevy vibe they can’t shake it. This movie is like a bad dream where you’re at an endless kink meetup your never want to get into and trying to escape each door just leads to another bunch of LARPers in bondage gear trying to some scold you into polyamory.

The dancing is great.

Idris Elba disappearing with a MEOW cracks me up still.

And then I wandered off.

i cannot find the pick quote describing being present for the exact cultural moment that is cats, where she said it was like when she was in the cafeteria on some remote workstation eating "peanut noodle", which was just wet noodles with peanut sauce, and a dolorous voice over the loudspeaker announced to all on site that michael jackson had just died

It is like the time that I was working at a remote research site out in the sticks and it was the day when they fed us "peanut noodle" which was just wet noodles with peanut butter on it, and a dolorous voice carried over the station loudspeakers and throughout the woods to inform us that Michael Jackson had died
