View Full Version : Does this forum have a sister?

I stumbled on another political forum (thepoliticsforums.com) which seems obviously affiliated with this one, and when I tried to sign up my email was banned, so I assumed that the two forums must be run by the same people, and that each blocks emails registered at the other in order to prevent cross posting.

I'm just curious, is this the case? If so, I guess I'm glad I stumbled on the more populated one first, though it would be nice to be able to register at both (no big deal though).

Long story short, that site was created to give a crazy person her own kingdom so she wouldn't destroy this one. I'm willing to bet your email was banned because one of their spies over here saw you registered here and notified High Command. Only one type of person is allowed to exist on both sites simultaneously, and that's the spies of the other forum's High Command.

Think of us as the Romulan Republic to the other forum's Romulan Star Empire.

Yeah, all the hard right, bigoted, anti-anything-other-than-Christianity, homophobic psychopaths migrated there. They do manage to recruit regular members every now and then but anyone with an ounce of integrity and intelligence winds up bailing after they see that it's just a big paranoid RWNJ clique.

They love banning people there.

It's one thing tPF does a nice job of here, it's pretty non-restrictive.

I'm banned there too and I feel kind of bad about that. Trinn I always though off-forum was a great gal. Get her behind a computer and she turns into a Nazi.

Matalese (I hope she doesn't mind me saying) was banned because she took up for me when a drunk pothead continuously attacked me. That brought the ire of High Command. And well, you know Matalese; she doesn't back down. I love her for what she did and she knows it.

Roflmao, yep, yep, you gotta kiss ass and pay homage every day to stay there, and yes, they let the nut jobs run the ward. So she made me an offer I had to refuse, first she kicked me out of her VIP club left the nut job in, then she told me are you ready foe this shit? she told me that she was kicking me out of VIP and that if I flounced off her site mad and did not contribute in a positive way to the conversation she would ban me. Now I don't know about you guys but telling me participation in a forum is mandatory just don't cut it. So, being as the nut job was fucking over myself and Perriane and getting paid in rep from the boss for doing so, I just told the boss that I wasn't inclined to kiss her ass so she better ban me. So she did. I imagine her story on the matter in her VIPER lounge is something quite different. :) they call themselves The Trinniteers. I shit you not.


oh, then she cc's a copy to the other two Trinniteers. Roflmao. And probably the nut job. :)

Un-VIP's, re-VIP'd then un-VIP'd again, then finally banned for fear of being a forum spy or something.

I'm a member of BOTH forums, and I'm nobody's 'spy'!

You'll find that there are a number of people here that are members of both forums, this is not unusual, and paranoid speculations shouldn't run wild because of it. Trinn and the other mods can log on to see what's going on here any time they like, they need no 'spies'.

The reason there are two forums of nearly the same name has more to do with personal clashes and differences among the mod team, ideology has little or nothing to do with it, to the extent I'm aware of what went on.

Lately TPF has been under attack by Political Hotwire trolls because Trinn lured many members away from there, so she may have restricted membership at the moment until the storm passes, I don't know.

No, Alyosha, I am still the same old me. I hate it when people go on the attack, no matter who they're attacking.....it's rude and mean-spirited. I don't participate in that stuff.

Who said anything about banning anyone? You basically have to piss off more than half of the active members for anyone to even consider banning a member or you have to be a vile troll or a sock and have no redeeming value.

He didn't - if he was speaking as a mod you would have received the big pink warning. He was speaking as another member. He just didn't want it to get personal, because then we do have to intervene.

Green Arrow did. I told OceanloverOhio she could not ban me and he jumped right in and said " I can" I haven't done anything ban able that I know of. I said bite me. He's said much worse than that to members here.

...may have restricted membership at the moment until the storm passes, I don't know.

When I tried to register there, using the same email I used here, I was told it was banned, not that membership was closed.


They don't ban emails over there. They ban IP addresses.

I just tried again. Here's the exact message: "The administrator has banned your email address. You will need to change your email address in order to continue. If you think this is done in error, please click here to contact the administrator."

If my IP was banned I wouldn't be able to view the site.

Anyway, after what I've learned from this thread I'm not interested in joining that forum. I won't walk on eggshells to avoid being banned, so I likely would be, if what people here have said is true.

If your using one of those web based internet email providers, it is possible the address has been used before. I don't know how long the providers keep them after they go inactive.

That seems unlikely: my email username is the same ("digitalbluster"); I searched that username before adopting it because I wanted something unique; all I found was an obscure music DJ event that used the name but with a space; I got no hits for the combined words; I doubt anyone had registered a username with no search hits at my relatively obscure email provider.

It seems more likely that someone with access to emails here, and who'd rather someone with my views not register there, either banned it themselves or passed it along to someone who could.

But again, I honestly don't care (Sherlocking is fun though).

The only people who have access to member emails (that are not public by your choice) are the mods and Admin. Nobody on this mod team is giving info to Trinn's site.

They might engage in minor squabbles with liberals over ways to go about doing the same thing (i.e., administer the capitalist economy and the representative republic), but fundamentally they agree. Where conservatives and liberals agree, socialists disagree. We want to dismantle the capitalist economy, to make way for a socialist republic.
