Banned Members

[CavySpirit]

First of all, I think it's very important to know that EVERY forum of any magnitude bans people from posting who have joined and misused their privileges.

Unlike many forums, we still allow banned members to read this forum.

And as has been stated at length in this post (link to be added later), it is most definitely a PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT to be a participating member of this community. This is NOT a PUBLIC forum where anybody can say anything under the freedom of expression. All members are here at my discretion in my paid for place of communicating. It is analogous to being invited into my home. If I choose, I may ask you leave. If I choose, I may assist you out the door. If you don't like my home, you are always free to go. However I should point out that anything that you leave in my home, stays in my home. That is, if you decide to leave, we do not delete accounts or posts. Contrary to some public belief, I do not even need a good reason to ban you! But, it's my policy to have a good reason to ban you. My good reason. My good policies--which the vast majority of the members support.

Please do review the Posting Policies and Guidelines so that you know what bannable offenses to avoid!

Because we don't delete posts or accounts, sometimes, it is not at all obvious why a member seems to have been okay one minute and banned the next. What you may not be aware of is a lot of private communications. Or you may not be aware of posts in other parts of the forum or posts that are offensive that have been moved to the Moderator Forum. So, we've decided to post a list of banned members (since it's no secret that a member has been banned--their title changes on their posts) along with a brief reason as to the reason for the banning. However, we aren't going to list them all, just ones that we think you would appreciate knowing about. It's extra work for us to add in this information with the already hands full job of moderating and administrating the forum.

We won't waste space telling you about spammers whose entire posts are deleted or other obvious issues.

You can further discuss banned members or banned member issues on this thread: http://cavycages.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18210.

ProdigyOfARaven: First post was an inflamatory, anti-PETA post with a video link on the Vegetarian forum. No warnings given. Member banned. Thread removed.

[VoodooJoint]

Kookeyman for starting the ProdigyofaRaven name to post his inflametory bullcrap under an Alter Ego.

Naughty naughty and such a shame. One has to wonder why people bother coming to a forum that supports animal rights just to speak against animal rights.

Especially sad when it's a member starting an Alter Ego and thinks they won't get caught. Guess what? We always catch you.

[Ly&Pigs]

Cavy Cuddler for failure to heed warnings, creating second name Elizabeth, linking to a site that she was told to not link to and for not posting properly.

Cavy Cuddler then rejoined after being banned under both her other names as Bitumz and started posting again then gave herself away to me in a pm. Bitumz is not banned.

Note: We have another user by the name of CavyCuddler. This person and Cavy Cuddler are not the same person.

Prettybow was banned today for 2 reasons - she cursed and mouthed off to Ly and she made a flounce post. Of course, her avatar wasn't very appropriate either.

[Susan9608]

Alfie and Sammyboy were both banned today for being the same person as prettybow. Guess she just couldn't stay away, despite being so insulted and hurt by us.

[VoodooJoint]

aaronsimo23 and piggies4eva have been banned. They started two IDs and lied to me about why they did so (among other things).

o0fastfilly0o: troll, cavy cooking recipe post

[CavySpirit]

Jozia, inappropriate posts and PMs. Impersonating me and sending harrassing private messages.

[Ly&Pigs]

bazil5 for cursing me out in a private message because they chose not to follow the posting rules and received 2 infractions.

[Ly&Pigs]

Our infamous Louis was back on the forum under two new names that were both caught and banned. BigBother and Richard were his two newest names. Louis you need to realize that you will never be a member here and you need to get somekind of life other than rejoining here to torment the mods.

Also ccrunner was banned for lying to one of the mods. CC stated that she did not know that BigBrother was Louis when in fact he/she did know.

[Ly&Pigs]

love my pigs. Banned previously under the name of pgpsm and various other names including Maddie. Everytime this kid rejoins, they are going to keep getting banned. We do not let banned members rejoin.

[VoodooJoint]

leig6250 was banned. She had no posts yet but is Leea83 rejoining under a new name. Despite the pouting, temper tantrums and flouncing she just HAD to rejoin again--they usually do.

[CavySpirit]

GuineaPigGoddes and crazy4cavys, C4C originally had a lot of posting problems and offenses, was caged, then ticked off, rejoined, started a thread as an alter-ego in support of herself--bannable and banned.

[CavySpirit]

Jessie2. Spammer. Managed to get off about 50 private messages.

[CavySpirit]

CF#5: He was not banned for disagreeing with anyone or any content on the forum, contrary to appearances. There were behind the scenes issues going on that I do not want to make public.
