I wasn't actively posting for a few years there, so not familiar with your story...I take it you were perma-banned? It can be tough to get ''reactivated'' once you're perma-banned from there.
Dying to get back on sciforums |
Actually my initials are JR. Chances are my first name is James. I have a username on SciF that I have not used in a while. However I’m thinking of making a comeback. My persona on SciF is not well liked, belligerent and detested by many but I have never been banned or suspended, hmmmm. I once joined a science forum using a coded version of my SciF username but despite it being blatantly obvious, no one ever figured it out, or realized I was not online with one forum when on the other. Z’s writing Style has not changed much over time. I join other forums to collect intel and conduct espionage. Z has been on the internet longer than SciF. It sometimes happens that Z forgets just what forum he’s on, who he’s talking too and what the subject is. It is possible Z is or was more than one person. Using different aliases I have composed hundreds if not thousands of threads. I have had one thread trashed in all these years (it was deserved). I have been and probably still am a member of several philosophy forums, my username always starts with an M there. I have had others copy or use a derivative of Z several times. I once belonged to The Time Travel forum. I’m in the Urban Dictionary thanks to a pissed off member in one of the forums. I am thinking of retiring Z for good.
Yet I have never been suspended or banned from any forum.*** *** only one of the above statements is false (Aug 12, 2019 11:01 PM)Leigha Wrote: Sounds like a worthwhile venture, Z. I'll bring the popcorn. No kidding.lol No one should be banned from a forum. Shouldn’t happen. There are rules, simply follow them. Don’t be stupid, understand your audience. Personally I hate seeing people axed only because their message or method is controversial. I’d rather see a good roast than banishment. Perhaps people will voluntarily leave once crushed, if you know what I mean? Reminds me.....people always ask why I end my username with a pos, not pus....I think the answer is obvious . Actually Z is/was a great admirer of the Leakey’s and their quest at Olduvai Gorge, hence the username. Z loved being a branch that fell off the hominid tree. Should have a retirement party. Life is short, other things to do. Zin has grandkids now. Will see the summer out and decide before year end.
"No one should be banned from a forum. Shouldn’t happen. There are rules, simply follow them."
Well, that's the problem, isn't it? Some people don't follow them.
I have firsthand, behind the scenes knowledge that the rules don't matter over there. Ostro obviously violated the rules, but other people have been perma-banned just because the mods voted they disliked them enough, without any rule violation at all.

I should go back there and have my alter ego tossed for Z’s retirement. I’ll let you know, could be fun.
Returning after not being very active for a while, I noticed some really great members were banned, who were once regulars. I mean, they were problematic from what I recall, but were solid members. They didn't post woo, if anything, they were usually in the hard science and political sections, so not sure what they did to get banned. Sometimes, I wonder though...if they've resurrected using a sock account. Shades of their personalities show up now and again.
