I was banned for 72 hours

[SusanJillParker]

I was banned for 72 hours for complaining that my stories, including my contest stories, weren't scanned to remove bashing 1 votes in the way that every other writer's stories are routinely scanned.

I guess complaining did some good as my Nude Day story was scanned to remove dozens of 1 votes.

"Thank you for scanning my story."

Having never been banned before, I didn't know what to expect. I was stripped naked before locked in a dark hole. It was like going through TSA before boarding a plane but much worse.

"Hey, stop. That tickles."

Not knowing what to expect and who else was down there, I was frightened.

It was dark. It was damp. It was wet. There were bugs, big bugs, snakes, long snakes, and rats with big frigging teeth.

I didn't know where I was. With no clock and no calendar on the wall and with no light to see them even if there were, I didn't know what day it was or what time it was.

There was no place to wash, take a shower, or go to the bathroom even. The place stunk and I kept stepping in something soft and squishy.

All I could do to pass the time was to chant.

"Attica! Attica! Attica!"

Then, while walking around in circles, I stumbled over something. Only, it wasn't something. It was someone. You wouldn't believe who was down there if I told you. Only, I think she was dead.

I'm just glad to be back. I'm happy that my story was scanned. I'm still unable to remove my sunglasses. It's going to take me a while to get used to the bright light.

Everyone's stories get scanned.

Being that the walls have ears, I'm not going to argue with you but...sorry, you're wrong.

Released on parole for good behavior, instead having to serve the full 72 hour sentence, I only had to serve 60 hours.

With me losing all perception of time, it felt more like 60 days being in that pitch, black hole.

I still must wear a pink, monitoring cuff around my ankle for another 72 hours.

I'm not allowed to leave town or fraternize with any other writer who voices their opinion.

That dead body down there still haunts me mostly because I suspect who it was.

I'll be having nightmares for a very long time.

Once you get used to it, albeit a bit crunchy and getting stuck in between my teeth, the roaches were good eating.

The worst part of it was having to drink my own urine to stay alive.

"Gross. I can still taste it."

I don't know but suspect LAUREL uses a Plan B occasionally. Prolly OGG.

Plan B (gulp)? I don't know what that is. I can only imagine what that is.

Birth control?

Does it have to do with black leather, whips, ties, and chains?

Unless Plan B means something else entirely.

Would I get the (double gulp) for complaining that my stories weren't scanned of bashing 1 votes?

I would have held out for 72 houris (virgins.)

You're a better person than me. I'm weak...without tooth paste, soap and water, and my hairdryer (lol).

No, you wouldn't object to 72 houris.

Was it Amelia Earhart that you stepped on?

You had 8 posts tagged for being against forum rules and one telling you, you were about to be banned before you were banned. All the posts were more or less in a row on the contest thread. What part of this forum now has a moderator don't you understand.

Sorry freddie but this isn't the AH of scouries day. Get used to it.

Unlike you bashing me by calling me by my brother's name, unlike you trying to stir up shit, I was only pointing out that even when I report my stories as being bombed with 1 votes, they aren't scanned.

I've had contest stories that weren't scanned. Maybe you should just mind your own business before you get banned for attacking me.

Maybe I'll just report your post to the moderator for continuing to disrespect me by calling me a man.

And another alt bits the dust.

Ooops.

 

[TallBlondeBustyBlueEyedBimbo]

Don't know what the big secret is. I've already named all 15 of my alts in public. I guess you weren't paying attention.

That was probably before my time Susan. I have enough trouble keeping track of myself..... 15 would have me spinning

 

[rescatooor]

Now I'm curious. Why are you using another alt now actually? Did you get banned again?

As for the Nude Day thread, it did look like you were warned. Didn't you notice that the mod censored your replies as against the forum rules?

 

[rescatooor]

Also, maybe because I'm new and blue-eyed, but wouldn't it just be so that L is busy with all the other sweeps at this time point because of the contest? I understood they're generally busy during the last few days of the contest. When exactly did you report your story?

Thing is, there's not much point in reporting a story in a competition. A lot of them get one star ratings for different reasons and all the competition stories get swept ruthlessly.

Unless there is a monthly sweep during the contest or something out of the ordinary happens, the sweeps are usually on the very last day of the competition. Freddie knows this but he was using the sweeps to draw attention to his story. Nothing more, nothing less, other than disrupting things as his normal.

Unlike so many who post here that have sock puppets to start trouble and argue between themselves, all of my alts have stories attached. I seldom post on the forum board with any of my alts other than SusanJillParker (real name) and BostonFictionWriter.

Obviously what I was banned about had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with what I was complaining about.

I wasn't starting trouble with another person or bashing someone in the way that I'm constantly and continually bashed on the forum boards.

I was discussing how my stories are not scanned in the way that the stories of others are routinely scanned. That's it.

What I complained about had nothing to do with the forum board rules. I was just writing my own personal observation in regards to me and to my stories not being scanned for bashing 1 votes.

Purely freedom of speech.

 

[TxRad]

Freddie, the banner may read Freedom of Speech but freedom of speech doesn't apply. This is a private site and Laurel makes the rules. You were banned for making posts that had something bad to say about how the contests are operated in a contest thread. That is a no-no and you know it.

 

[NotWise]

Personally, I am brought to tears by Jill's plight. Such psychological damage! Such heart-rending pathos! I can but calm my sobbing and wipe my cheeks.

And, maybe I can say that with his temporary banishment, the place was a little less creepy for a while.
