Honestly I would tell you to shut up also. Then again I am one of those people who gets tired of (mostly younger) garbage fans trying to FIND or MAKE garbage references to or in everything. I think thats about the most PC way I could put it. Rawr! That's not what I did!

I think thats about the most PC way I could put it. Rawr! That's not what I did! Well, looking at your history at the mod the sims board I found: -a thread about Shirley's album -a thread about the debut -a thread about V2.0 -a thread about BG -a thread about BLM -a thread called "Garbage Chat" -a thread about Shirley possibly playing Cat woman in the next Batman movie -a thread about a music video of Garbage Can't cry these tears made with The Sims 2 -a thread about Shirley Manson's Family -and 5 additional none garbage related threads. Considering that no one else on the board seemed to show much interest in Garbage. Well, I would consider that a bit excessive.

Can I be honest?
You're annoying me pretty big in this one thread. Judging from your history that Endless posted, I can only imagine what the other boards are feeling.

Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming. If you only heeded our warnings. Again, show your appreciation on your signature, and just leave it at that. Otherwise, you'll get what you got at the forum, a banning.
This sure does remind me of Joey from 3 years ago (yeah im gunna vtoe!!)

Honestly I would tell you to shut up also. Then again I am one of those people who gets tired of (mostly younger) garbage fans trying to FIND or MAKE garbage references to or in everything. I think thats about the most PC way I could put it. Sometmes I tell myself to shut up about Garbage and I'm almost 30!!!! Hahaha... I'm probably generalising here, but most of the long term fans at this board have seen younger fans join, not understand forum etiquette and post utterly random threads everywhere which usually go uncommented on anyway and then see the fan take the huff about it. It's not fun and it quickly becomes tiresome. No one wants to be the person to say "hey chill out a bit"; which is probably why moderators on some forums just ban you outright. An example, the day that fans realised Bleed Lke Me was being broadcast on the old Virgin Garbage Radio site, totally un-announced and unexpected, a young fan took it upon himself to post a brand new thread every time a *new* song broadcast. And then a further thread to say how he felt about each song. For a long term board user THAT is incredibly irritating. Unfortunately almost every person who is a beginner at internet forums (whatever age) will make a similar user trespass before understanding what is acceptable. Luckily some people learn pretty quickly and get good advice from other board members, however on some forums, other members can be utterly ruthless is responding to new users. Scaring people off isn't a solution but some people repeatedly like to show off their online dominance. My personal hate is when ANY user posts with terrible spelling, grammar or in all caps or all lower-case. Or can't copy and paste a URL into their posts for people to see what they are referring to. I realise that some people aren't very good at using a keyboard, or are dyslexic and struggle with words, but the internet is a world of words as well as pictures, and you can learn these things!!!! An example of the URL problem was when Shirley posted In THe Snow on her Facebook. Someone started a thread titled just "In the Snow" and the line "What do you think of it". So, as you can imagine, for about 4 hours I had no idea what the hell this person was talking about or what it had to do with Garbage. I was pretty pissed off when I found out I could've been listening to a Shirley Manson demo four hours earlier than I eventually did if the original poster had been nice enough to leave some sort of context and link to what they were talking about! BUT! Back to the original topic. Yes, you are talking about Garbage too much on a forum that isn't anything to do with Garbage. Your signature has marked you out as a Garbage fan, talking about them just makes you look like a poster who is there just to talk abotu Garbage. Look at this way, if, for instance, Lick the Pavement only started threads about Girls Aloud, and Kimberley, in particluar, my eyes would very very quickly glaze over. I like GA, but I don't want to be bombarded with GA news from the same person all day long. I'm a member of the Popjustice forums, and since my user-pic is the Absolut_Garbage pic as well, I'm very choosy when I talk or make reference to Garbage. If I went overboard, I'm pretty sure the response wouldn't be as considered and empathic as people here have been to you. Just take it as a lesson learned.

The name Joey sounds familiar, but 3 years ago I only had net access one day a week for about 6 months so I might have missed out on this. What was the story with him/her? ?? There was a user during the three of four months that the AG period covered who really irritated me but I can't remember why or how. I think they basically posted everything I had posted in the "general" AG discussions a few days later as seperate threads. Chris, you'll no doubt remember the Spanish fans who started Spanish-only threads in the pink board.

^Do you have to get unbanned? There are hundreds of others Mac tech support forums out there.

I just found out that the Admin of FTM, Cyn Just plain hates me. How will I get unbanned now? Paul typed a huge essay that apparently went unnoticed by you. Shame. Join the forum again with a different e-mail address, get the information you needed, and go to another Mac support forum and give them the information you have so far.

This is why PC's are always better in the end.
But in any case, it's a lost cause. I'd heed the advice above and just go to a different forum. Obviously you aren't welcome there anymore, and unfortunetly you are realizing how cruel people can be on the web - welcome to the internet.

That one person being the Admin of that forum. That is like you being banned from the White House by Obama himself. Again, I'd just stop, find another forum, and start yourself again. I know it's tough but you can do it. I've done that when I started on forums a LONG ass time ago. This is only a lesson learned - the next forum you go to, you now have the guidence from us here and what you experienced at that forum. Take it for what it's worth.
