Being accused of going against the rules & banning
I used to go to a public forum site where I posted replies, similar to AMHD, but I have been accused of "trolling." I received an email that my account has been permanently banned for trying to stir up emotions, spamming, and such. Recently, I have called up the headquarters for this website and I talked to the manager about the problem. She said that I should contact the person I have been talking to and forward everything to the lady.
The issue is if the stuff gets forwarded, could the user say something to manipulate my case? Right now, I have not sought lawsuit yet but I am planning to do so since their definition of trolling has NOTHING to do with my response to topics. Any ideas on how to convince the lady to get my account back without lawsuit? |

In all honesty you DON'T have any claim at all.
Bear in mind that this site, and others like it, are PRIVATE and as such members are subject to the various Terms Of Service. Here are ours: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/faq.ph...#faq_faq_rules. And before you mention anything about Freedom of speech:
"Freedom Of Speech" is concerned with what the Government can and cannot do.
This is a PRIVATE forum and as such "Freedom Of speech" DOES NOT apply, we ALL must abide by the site rules. People have merely registered to be allowed to use the forum and its facilities. That doesn't confer any rights. Freedom of speech Or for the Conar's of this world a more simple version: Freedom of speech made simple |

I don't see any kind of a suit being filed - what is your reason considering sites like this are private and have certain rules. Even if you didn't "break" their rules in your eyes, you could have broken them in their eyes. You didn't lose any money. What reason would be for you to sue them? Can't see any. Sorry.

I think the problem is your short one liner replies that really don't say much of anything and come off crude
Your better replies are more detailed and much better. These can be taken the wrong way I think https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...ml#post1128132 https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-...ml#post1085920 https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-...ml#post1148458 https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dating...ml#post1152526 Replies like that are not very constructive or helpful |

After reading the posts NoHelp posted, I have to agree. Those posts are not helpful. You have to learn some tact. These kinds of posts will get you banned, sooner or later.
Try to remember, everyone who posts a question is looking for an answer, sometimes you have to be harsh in order to get through, but unkind one liners aren't productive. As for the other site banning you, they have the right to ban whomever they want, the site is privately owned, and rules and regs have to be followed, if you didn't follow those rules, well, you're banned. There is no legal recourse. Good luck. |

Following the rules is paramount to all of these sites, and take it as a word to the wise, and stay within bounds. Keep it real, as no one can know if your being humorous, or one of those annoying trolls by what was posted. Maybe a change in style can make you more acceptable, than those way out one liners. You haven't had a problem here have you?
Did I just say that?? |

I would say that yes, you may be taken the wrong way with a history of posts, like even here. Also all info should be keep on the public forum, not asking advice on PM.
If you don't want to name the site it is fine, but there is nothing you can do, if their moderators believe you violated the rule or the intent of the rules, you can be banned, they OWN the site and you have no right to be on them, while you call them "public" they are really private owned and the owners can stop anyone they want from using the boards. Heck I have been banned from Yahoo answers for almost a year now, they did not like my religious view points. |
