I can't shake off the fear that I'll be banned

[John_Smith123]

There have been many forums where I got banned without being told why. And I can't fix what I do wrong if they don't tell me why they ban me.

And I see no reason to believe things will be different here. Ever since someone here complained that I never write any stories, I can't focus enough to bring myself to post anything on this forum, because I know that sooner or later I'll be banned without being told why.

It has happened many times in the past. This is just one more of those times. There has never been a single forum I joined without ending up banned. I see no reason to believe this will be the first one I'll never get banned from.

So, since I know I'll be banned and I can't bring myself to post anything other than complaining and the mods don't seem ready to ban me yet, should I leave on my own forever?

Don’t give up!

Lol

I'm ready to sign the petition to ban you. In fact I'll make up multiple accounts just to get enough signatures

I've only been here a few months and believe I have seen 3 of your profiles with this same sort of post.

I'm just wondering...why?

Why post something that only encourages people to look into your profile with more scrutiny, to see if it's worth adding to suggesting you leave?

From your comment, you're clearly unwelcoming to the idea of self-reflection and adapting to the places you post. Do you wish for the places to change around you? That's not intended as a dig btw, just wondering what your thought process is here

It's only 2.

I can't change, because most of those who banned me did so without explanations so I don't know what to improve. I guess whatever about me upsets others will upset you too sooner or later and will ban me without telling me why. But since I'm not banned yet, perhaps you'd like to tell me what I do wrong and why nobody ever bothers telling me what it is.

In all of the forums I've EVER been on, you're the first person I've EVER considered using the block/ignore feature on and that speaks volumes...
Not only do you sound like a broken record, you sound like a WSLB...

Basically: Spend less time talking about your interactions with a thread, spend more time talking about the topic of the thread.

It's subverting people's expectation of what they're opening the thread for, and not in a good way.

Noone cares more than you, just follow the crowd for a while - segwae if you like, but keep it within the topic content of the thread you're on.

Noone wants the meta analysis of it.

John, do you want to share with the class why you were banned last time? It had nothing to do with whether or not you write, remember?

I believe I'd have been banned anyway. I just got angry when one insulted me and stopped caring. But my ban was inevitable, and so is this time too.

I wasn't like that on the previous forums I was banned from. I tried hard to be polite and asked the mods about every step I took, and the mods assured me they wouldn't ban me if I followed the rules. Why did they ban me in the end? I guess I'll never know, since nobody ever tells me. Perhaps it's not something specific. Perhaps I just have an aura that upsets people, because that happens in real life too.
Or maybe what I do is something so obvious that nobody finds a point in explaining to me what it is if I'm too stupid to figure it out myself. I guess I'll never know for sure.
But just in case, I'm asking, do you perhaps want to tell me -- before I get banned once and for all -- what upsets everybody about me?

I would strongly suggest you seek the help of a qualified mental health professional.

Or , if you’re trolling, stop.

He’s also been saying he is going to kill himself.

promises, promises

Gladly, I'll be short, sweet and to the point...
Try talking about something other than "poor me, getting banned."
There must be at least thousands of other topics, on this site alone.
Best of luck.

I have no idea what happened or why this guy was banned, only that I've seen some flagrant trolls get away with so much trolling and other incel crap on this site and NOT get banned- no names mentioned, in part because some of these people actually have multiple screen names anyway- so whatever it was that Mr. Smith did, I'm guessing it was something pretty heinous. And pretty blatant.

Threatening a member with physical harm? Blatant racism/hate speech? (I actually doubt it was that, because this actually seems to be allowed on the Politics forum) or discussion of acts with underage people? This last one tends to get more people in trouble than any other, so it is certainly possible this was the one. But the thing is, I don't know; I am not an admin.

I do know that a lot of posters are not self-aware enough to know when they have crossed a line, even if it is very clear to other users.

Perhaps, and this is a request to the admins, they might let them know specifically WHAT they were banned for, even if it should be obvious to everyone else. At the very least, this will be a learning opportunity for trolls to change their behavior.

You are either a troll or actually serious. Either way I seriously doubt online forums are the best place for you. If I were you I would close down my account, stay off the internet and find a local club/hobby where you can connect face to face with real people and build proper connections.
