Bob Singleton Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 3 minutes ago, JaneB said: Welcome back HM, so pleased you found us. We’ve had a bit of discussion on here about some of our regulars who would appear to be on TSE, Jangz, KennyPaul, Backbiter and Asvaberg who is a very regular poster and must be wondering wherever we have gone. Concern was expressed that admin on there can read pm’s and might ban anyone who tries to redirect a member to our new site. From what you say this hopefully isn’t the case so anything you could do would be gratefully appreciated, if you’re happy to do so. Thank you. I very much doubt the mods there can read a PM (most forum software is designed by 3rd parties, and very few offer the option for such a facility). I suspect that whoever it was who got their forum privileges restricted or received a ban did so for posting in an open thread contrary to T&Cs that preclude the promotion of rival forums.

I think Jane meant she misunderstood how you got banned, not that you did/didn't get banned. Did you get banned for promoting the new CFCNet forum as a result of a private message you sent someone, or was it because you mentioned it in an open forum thread?

Bob Singleton Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 11 minutes ago, DannyLB said: The former. Wow!!! That's unusual. Is there a warning when you sign up saying that private messages aren't actually private (in the TOS, for example) and can be read by the mods? If a user has a reasonable expectation of privacy, it opens them up to legal challenges should that not be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a user has a reasonable expectation of privacy, it opens them up to legal challenges should that not be the case. I've looked at the rules post ban and there's no such thing. Annoyingly enough I cant even contact anyone to plead my case because you need an account to do so and multiple accounts are not allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane was specifically interested in Asvaberg. If you look at his profile on the old site there is an account on YouTube that seems to tie in with them under the same name but unfortunately it seems to have lapsed over the last 10 years or so (lol). As people tend to re-use the same forum tag Googling Asvaberg there are a few hits with it on a few forums. Whether it might be worth PMing them to see if it is him? Instagram doesn't help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
