My experience of being banned

Views: 25
Comments: 2
Had an argument with a lot of people who started an argument over a question. Rick-rolled (very mature i know)
 
 
-Go to the banned forum
 
-Start a thread being positive about the threat "That was totally worth it" about how humorous i found it
 
- "Dreadnought" comes in and says "you shouldnt be arguing with people"
 
- "No your right the forum is not for opinions. 2+2 = 5 right?"
 
and i start a thread "so what does the banned forum think of robert mugabe? with some ironic statements of "no lol wut pears no rickrolls etc"
 
Am now banned from the Banned forum. So ive gone from a knowledgeable helpful member of UG to a phariah in 4 hours i feel like a rebel.
 
My conclusion
UG is a playground for a conformist majority to air their views in comfort and the Moderators to protect them from different opinions. Maybe this account will get shut down for this controversial viewpoint as well.
 
UG should have a set of rules for moderators that they must have three to intervene in a user and ban them. Im not annoyed about my account im annoyed about the way it has been shut because i challenged a majority.
 
Argue with me, ill enlighten you.

Haha, good ol' 1984... I swear if my ban is extended, I'll cry. Yeah, I see what you mean; I'm not gonna protest it, but it seems like a hundred people a day get banned. Now I view some of these reasons for banning as quite dumb. Such as... repetitive pictures, etc. But like... you deserved to be banned for multi'ing (not you Fez in particular) because I view multis as a way to help your characters in RPG type games like Runescape. Not on a forum... But yes, I know you're upset, but if you love UG enough, you should remain silent and just wait it out. I'm trying my best to do that right now, because well, I NEED UG.

It doesnt feel me with confidence that a was banned temporarily a while back for making a sarcastic statement referencing an obscure fact and a moderator banned me temporarily before unbanning me when realising "oops my bad, it was a joke"

The eagerness to ban is kinda worrying...
