I can assure you it is not based upon quality.

Well that's good to hear.

There's still hope of reaching soaring seagull status.

It is beyond human understanding. Do not attempt to reason this out.

I was recently banned from TOTV for a week. I got an email and a message but there was no explanation as to why. There does not appear to be an administrator to contact or a “ContactUs” link to use.
So if I don’t know why or what post caused me to be banished, how can I keep from violating the rules again?
If I broke the rules, ok, but tell me what I did.

Everyone believes they are "polite". Your definition of that and theirs may not coincide.

Well THEIR definition of "polite" does not include responding to subscriber/user/customer PMs or emails. STILL waiting...

Odd, I get private email telling me exactly what, why, and how long I was not allowed to post. I wasn’t banned I just could respond or post. I think it you go to upper right hand corner when logged in under private messages you will find all you’re answers to you’re questions. Plus you can contact the moderator by clicking on private message.

I usually don’t disagree with moderator, but once I was stumped why I way ban and responded and they (he, her, or who) reviewed and reversed it.

Q: "why was I banned for a week."
A: Because!

Not the first. Won't be the last.
Let's move on to something scary, like "Ghost Ants", coming soon to a sink near you. Bwaaa ha ha ha😄😄😄😄

Maybe Jack Dorsey's (Twitter CEO) next job will be Moderator of Talk of the Villages. You think TOTV censors some posts? I find them to be mostly fair.

I too, received an e-mail saying why I was suspended. Unfortunately, the post they cited, and the reason they gave had nothing to do with each other.

Another time, the reason given was for "violation of XYZ, despite repeated warnings". Which was odd, because I had never been warned about XYZ...

I wrote back, asking for clarification. Still waiting for a reply...

Anyway, it's their sandbox. We're just the cats who crap in it on occasion...

Don’t feel Bad, Amazon has suspended me from Reviewing products! Evidently A Negative Review is not popular with their management!

I’ve been warned few times, guess it in the wording or way make comment. I guess I don’t beat around the bush enough?

Negatively never popular.

Several people are so appalled that they actually received a "time out", that they take their ball and go home... Their sense of self importance was deflated, I guess...

I can think of several recent ones...

Could she have gotten a time out?
