I still don't understand the whole "pre-ban" you suggest admins do as I personally have never seen it done and if it is done like you say it's done Andy I think it's really stupid and childish (I'm not directing that at you).
Could you explain the reasoning behind getting banned at this other board if we're a GM here? It just makes no sense, especially if most of us have done nothing to the admin of that board (at least I'm pretty sure most of us haven't). I really don't understand.

My apologies if I said something untrue about what you said. I was only responding to how I interpreted what you wrote, Andy.

No matter what I don't think its right that this new site is withholding anyone from having the opportunity to join. If somebody breaks the rules fine, but to not allow ALL people from anywhere join is in a sense discrimination. I honestly don't care to be on there at this point, like Zanne, Chrissy and Selise have said I'm happy here and slowly but surely this board will see positive change! I just think everyone should have the opportunity to join no matter what your status may be here or elsewhere.

For the record, its pretty much the same rule here, its just unwritten, so if you criticise there, you're criticising here....

Admin banned demoted several members who ran their own site (and failed) about a year ago, remember that? Rockmadman2007 and his chums?

Its nothing to do with being "active members" here, like I said to you in a PM, its because of your GM status, no more, no less.
