Banned from Twitter and Facebook

Like the title says I have been banned from both in the last few weeks for violating their rules. I have never tweeted and seldom used FB.

If I post something bad here, I am truly sorry.

If you are looking to get banned from Pelican Parts, then you will need to try harder than this.

Apparently, you have been a bit too peppy.

FWIW, I am banned on Nextdoor for saying black bears can be dangerous and should not be allowed to wander through suburban yards where children are playing.

You've never tweeted but you've been banned for violating the rules of twitter?
So either your account has been hacked and someone has been tweeting using your account, or they've decided to ban you for lack of use?

Wow, crazy. I guess I'm glad that there's no reason for me to get on "nextdoor". Granted, most online places, I keep a pretty minimal profile.

I’m banned from the CSM (politics) sub forum on ADVrider for being antagonizing.

LOL .... the only reason I would sign up for either one is so I could be immediately banned forever.

You should thank them imo

I can't believe you would say such a thing.

Count me among the group suggesting you regard those bannings as good fortune.

I just use the handle, “fintstone,” on all of the other platforms. Keeps things on the down low.

I get a reddit account banned every 6 months or so.


Take it as a badge of honor

I could not access what was posted on twitter.
The FB post was in another language and my profile and background pictures were changed to the the Ukrainian flag and Zelenskyy.

I agree, except . . .

I’ve found Facebook to be a great place to buy cars and motorcycles. A lot of great deals there, it feels like there’s generally more sellers than serious buyers. Most of my buys in the last few years have come from FB.

So I have an account, under a fake very common name.

Ukrianian hackers are top notch. There's a reason why a lot of them are on the cia's top wanted for hacking/fraud/ect

At first all I knew was I couldn't log in with my password. I couldn't log in for almost 2 weeks, but didn't get around to finding out why. I finally got an email from Shaun asking if my account had been hacked.

If it hadn't been for Shaun I probably never would have know what was happening. It's good to have a friend here who can contact you outside of Pelican.

Once I got my account back my PM box was stuffed with inquiries about 911 parts. The guy must have been offering some smoking deals.

I got banned from TimeZone two years ago for "rules violation." I almost never posted and when I did, it was 100% about watches and nothing else. I'm pretty sure my account was hacked, as I got a few emails asking about a watch I allegedly had for sale that I had never owned or known about. I emailed the admin. a few times, no response, even had one of their heavy users I know from a musicians site PM the admin. No response. That site is dead to me.
