I think it's just you. I've been banned from RSC in the past for
things I haven't even received a warning for recently.

The one area they've become more restrictive of, is when a handful of
the same people repeatedly start threads that rehash things that have
previously resulted in 10 page flamefests. In those cases, the people
involved have previously been told to knock it off, so it doesn't seem
like a big deal.

If I were given a warning for something I posted, rather than lashing
out at the moderators, I'd re-examine my own behavior and if I felt the
warning was unwarranted I would contact the moderators privately. I'm
certain doing that would provide a positive result in all but the most
extreme cases.

maybe you should grow up. RSC provides a huge benefit to the COMMUNITY.
Your feelings got hurt. Toooooo Bad. RSC is owned and operated by
somebody who is not you or me. They can do whatever the heck they want.
If I find something that is incorrect, I challenge it. If I get warned,
then fine. BFD. I think I've had a warning on there for a year or more.
I don't even know what it is or what it's for. Who cares?
If you can show ME that your lawsuit can benefit ME more than all the
info and dloads provided FREE by RSC then go ahead, Start listing.
Until such time that YOU can show just what amazing things you can
contribute to the sim community, I'd strongly recomend you just shut up.

I don't know what your beef with RSC is about, I don't care. I find it
hugely amusing that you think you have rights on the internet. They are
uploading kiddie porn, snuff films, terrorist communications, and on and on
and on. And you feel you have a greivance worthy of a court's time? Good
God man...did they post pictures of your mother and a goat?

I rarely get this crude but I do so for your benefit. Hopefully it will
get through to you. Come back when you have some hair down there. We'll
wait the 5 or 6 years.

Read my post ...

I never stated that I might sue RSC for money or to shut them down.
I stated that I might sue to stop them from attaching warning avatars
on peoples posts. If they want to warn somebody, they should do it
privately. What harm could there possibly be in getting a cease
and desist order to stop them from attaching warning avatars to peoples
posts?

> They can do whatever the heck they want.


Apparently not, they claim that they were shut down in the past
because of a members post. Also, they can't violate laws,
and they should abide by their own rules.

> If I find something that is incorrect, I challenge it.


Which is exactly what I did.

> I don't know what your beef with RSC is about, I don't care.


You cared enough to respond. It should be obviouse that
my beef is that that RSC attaches warning avatars to peoples posts,
and that quite often, the warnings are undeserved. In my
case, the RSC moderators first ignored, then over-reacted to my
private emails about receiving and public posting of warning.

Which is exactly what I did, I dealt with them peronally and went somewhere
else. I can also deal with them publicly if I choose to do so.

No I don't care. I can't imagine what could be so gosh darned important
that your self-worth is impugned.

I DO know that I myself and hundreds if not thousands of others get immense
benefits from RSC. So they can be as rude as they like. I only know that
your actions, for whatever reason you feel compelled to undertake, can only
harm me. I'm not defending RSC, I'm not intellectually curious enough to
even briefly examine the merits of either side.

For pity's sake...it's a freekin' Race Sim site. It's not a publisher of
scientific thesi.

Note that I didn't start this thread, just added my opinion to it.

I told RSC that I wouldn't agree to them attaching warning avatars
to my posts, and told them I no longer was giving them permission
to host my posts. They complied and deleted my posts. They also
banned me (at least I got an email from Mbrio stating that they
banned me).

I'm no longer being "abused, harassed, defamed, and/or falsely
accused" by RSC, so my personal dealings with them are over.
However, it's apparent they still are doing the same thing to
other people, which I think is wrong, so I'm just doing my
part by adding to this thread.

What actions are you referring to? All I've posted is that I don't
approve of RSC attaching warning avatars to the posts on it's forum.
How could this possible harm you?

Again note, I didn't start this thread, merely added my experiences
with RSC to it.

I was being sarcastic here. Obviously a class action lawsuit
would require building a list of plaintiffs. Do you see anyone
posting here about wanting to join in?

I think it's wrong for RSC to attach warning avatars on forum
posts. If this behavior ever did result in legal action, it
would be the fault of the RSC moderators who chose to do this,
not the victims of their abuse, harassment, false accusations
and/or defamatory content.

> RSC contributing to the community


It's not RSC, but the people who post there that do the contributing.
When RSC went down before, a temporary one was created that served
the community just as well.

Uh...what laws, in what country, are there against giving people
warnings on an internet forum?

I'd be impressed if people managed to successfully file a class-action
lawsuit against a company that provides them a non-necessary service
that they don't pay for.
