Default Effectively censored at Rocketry Forum

I've been making relevant, useful, and totally non-offensive posts in the Rocketry Forum for years. Suddenly, every post I make is listed as awaiting moderation and the only ones to ever show up are my posts of cartoons in the relevant thread.

Anyone else ever had an admin at that site do this?

Site is an over-moderated, advertisement LADEN nightmare that is reminiscent of a STEAMING PILE OF DOG CRAP.
I find it slightly less useful than a Bowlin' Ball in a Swimming Pool or a TURD in a Punchbowl.

LOL! But tell us how you actually feel.

Other than that, I've seen posts here in the past about admins there going on vendettas against some members and am looking for inputs on that.

I can tell you all you want to know about that . . .

After more than 13 years on TRF, I have been BANNED, about 3 weeks ago.

Interestingly, it was alleged that I had posted copyrighted material . . . However, that would have been IMPOSSIBLE for me to do, since they had me on "Moderated Status" for the last two years.

ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I posted on TRF had to be "PRE-APPROVED" by a "Moderator", before it was allowed to be seen on the forum. Sometimes, this could take up to a week to occur, making meaningful conversation virtually impossible.

So, how could I have committed this act, under those circumstances ?

Frankly, I "stepped on more than a few toes" on TRF and was "singled out" . . .

Well, to make a long story short, I am now on YORF full-time and will make every possible effort to help fellow rocketeers.

If you watch my posts here on YORF, you will soon see some of the "Players" appear . . . Their comments will make it painfully obvious who they are !

If anyone here is on TRF, let people know in the Scale and Glider sections what happened and where to find me !

TRF always has been and will be a bonafide POS.
MAJOR example of showing why moderation should be either severely limited or completely ELIMINATED.

I liked the internet better during the lawless "WILD WEST" days.

Well, not the first time you've been banned from someplace, and probably not the last.

But go ahead and blame everyone else.
