She's banned! · 4:15pm Aug 6th, 2015
I don't know if anyone actually remembers her, but a while back, one of my closest friends from school, SunnytheAtheist, joined this site.
Yesterday, she and I were taking a walk together, talking about what we've been doing over the summer. Eventually, Fimfiction comes up. Curious about how many followers she has, I open her user page on my phone... and discover that she'd been banned.
Both of us are confused and have no idea what's going on, so she logs in to her account to see why she'd been banned. Upon doing that, we find out that her ban is a permanent one.
The reason given? It's a pointless account whose only purpose is upvoting Sleepy Panda.
That's not true. Sure, she upvoted a bunch of my stories one day, but she'd also read then all. She didn't even know that it was against the rules. And because of my bad history with the site, she's banned for good rather than just given a warning or a short ban.
Also because of my bad history, the mod who banned her doesn't believe me when I told him what happened.
I think I need to take another break from this site... I honestly can't stand being on right now.
Was it Meeester? He truly is an asshole.
3300153 I'm not saying. I may not be happy with the mod, but I don't want him attacked by people, either.
It's annoying

He's just an asshole in general, no offense to him. But sometimes, he's just a dick (excuse me for my language).
It sucks. But please don't go.
3300171 You have me on Skype.
3300174
I know, but still. It's the principle of the matter. Don't be defeated.
3300153
With the reason given, I'm assuming it was [REDACTED].
Thats a really stupid reason to get banned! It's her account, she can do what she wants with it! Those people shouldn't tell her what to do on her account.
she dose what she wants with her account!
*facepalms*
Whichever mod that did this is an absolute idiot, and this needs to be reversed.
Honestly, it's crap like this that makes me want to leave this site and never come back. It's utterly and completely ridiculous!
This is truly baffling. Panda just came off a ban not more than a day or two ago and it was only an eight day ban. Granted, she admitted to doing some pretty screwed up stuff but there's lots of members here who do far worse than she did and never hear a word from a mod about it so, yeah, it's definitely unfair and I strongly suggest she's being scape-goated for past behaviors she's already said she was making up for.
Crap.
That's horrible! Maybe ask Knighty about it? Though he probably has a lot on his plate already....
We can just hope that someone higher up sees this post and tries to fix things.
3300548 Already did. She sent him an email, but there's been no response as of now and I doubt there will ever be one.
3300569 Well, guess we can only wait..
WHAT?! It was just one account. At least she wasn't abusing that power, like upvoting her own fics.
The mod should've listened to you, or at least have given her a tempaban.
Even though I've never met this person, she was probably a wonderful person. Do you need to talk? If so, PM me.
3300452 I know, right. It's so not cool what the mods are doing.

To be fair, Panda did break a huge number of rules about a week ago so it's no wonder some of the mods would be itchy and ready to toss a ban but, if she was banned for no reason then it totally sucks.
3300895 I've been breaking rules for over a year, actually, although that one day last week was really bad.
I think the issue is that they don't know whether or not Sunny is an alt account of mine.
3300895 I get how Sleepy Panda breaking the rules could make them more likely to ban her friend. It would have been a lot more fair if it were a temporary ban.
3300917 That's what I said to the mod.
3300923 ...and he didn't listen...
3300941 It's understandable, even though it's incredibly frustrating.
3300917
I think, no matter how any of us look at this thing it's just going to to suck because it does.
3300946 Definitely understandable, and I don't mean anything against the mod, whoever he is, I just feel bad for your friend.
3300964 Eeyup. Guess so.

If it's any consolation there's sites out there that are far more BS than FIMfiction is. But, then, as is true with all sites that have been around for three years or more, like the turd in the toilet the BS will always rise to the top.
Don't go!
3302951 Seeing that you wrote m8 I'm guessing your British. Cool. Anyway, it's an old American expression most commonly used on the East Coast US. Since that's where I was born and grew up it shouldn't be surprising that I'd use expressions like that. Sorry about the confusion, though.

shit=attitudes which, with some of the mods, is frequently shitty.

It's not really their attitudes that bother me as much as it is the fact that I've dug my own grave and cannot find a way out of it. While yes, they may not have the best attitudes about everything, I get the feeling that they have to deal with a lot of bullshit.

Cool. I'm not taking you too seriously. Hell, my motto is: "don't take life too seriously; none of us are getting out alive!"
