Anybody here go to the Straight Dope BB? Remove this text

I joined today and they immediately banned me after I tried to start a new thread asking where the OT is.

That's never happened to me before

There's no OT there. The whole forum is OT.

UR: Though perhaps banned AH before he could really post was a brilliant example of foresight by the SD Admins .

Tired of ads?

Well I had connection problem and triple posted a thread entitled "Where the hell is the OT?" Maybe it was that.

Is the moderation strict over there?

Does anyone know the mods?

Which forum did you post it in... some Admins would be strict if you posted that spam in a forum that wouldn't like it .

And asking a question like 'Where is Hell is the OT' is asking to be banned.

I think Horse must have posted in the General Questions forum. Mods there get pretty pissed at people who don't read and post the same thing three times

Would you?

I genuinely had a connection problem - it probably looked like spam

I posted a "where is the OT" thread in the general forum and that got deleted. So then I posted a "where the hell is the OT?" thread in the flame forum but that got triple posted.

Then I got banned

Tsk, tsk, Horsie. Surely you've set some sort of banning record on the Internet, haven't you? I mean, that was one heckuva speedy ban. Perhaps your reputation precedes on the 'Net?
