    Eh, either way the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth. I've posted alternatives, experiences with other forums who implemented the same rules. And apparently I made someone mad. But instead of starting a private conversation with me I just got my posting rights revoked. No warning, not so much as a message after posting lots of reviews and help, and repair examples. So umm. Hi y'all!

    You're kidding. Please tell me you're kidding.

    I politely questioned some of the new policy and have been banned from posting on FPN without any warning from the moderators. At least two other members who stuck up for me have also had their privileges limited. I'd tell you to go read the topic for yourself but they've deleted all my posts for the last couple of weeks

    I read that thread and those posts earlier and STILL can't believe people got the ax without warning. I mean, I can believe it...I just don't like it. Even the most repressive forum I post on hands out warnings and citations like Halloween candy before they ax you.

    I was banned also, I think, without warning. I don't yet know whether or not it's temporary. I have asked Admin and one of the moderators but have not yet received a response. I'm very sad and disappointed. I didn't think any of my posts were negative or broke any rules.

    I'm stunned.

    This is just plain WRONG.

    When I first came aboard FPN things were not like this. Not at all. It was smaller, people seemed friendly and so willing to help a newbie that the pay-it-forward motif has stayed with me until today.

    Something bad is going on, but I have no idea what or how, much less why.

    Although I was told that my suspension is probably temporary, I still cannot post, nor have I been given an explanation or told which rule(s) I supposedly broke.

    Ok, this is just nuts. You are one of the most positive and benign individuals, and they choose to censor YOU? Completely lousy.

    I'm very surprised as well!
