The TrekBBS has its own advantages and big problems, thanks to its huge membership. That can be a good or a bad thing, depending on what you're looking for. (It was the first BB that I posted at, so I like it there. But I certainly understand why people would avoid it. )

My friends, do not be deceived by what rumors you may hear of my past. I assure you, they are a tangled web of lies that do not even vaguely resemble truth. In the interest of preserving truth, I will show you that there is a decent, rational explanation for the fact that I have been banned from (a mere) five sci-fi message boards; it has *nothing* to do with me being any sort of troublemaker.
----- TrekWeb ----- Reason for permanent ban: No official reason given. Occasionally, the moderators complained that I was posting off-topic. However, after banning me, the moderators themselves engaged in non-sci-fi related material on the board, over and over again. I can still smell the stench of their rank hypocrisy.
----- TrekBBS ----- Reason for permanent ban: According to the administrator... 'I am hereby banning Red Quacker in direct violation of the Official TrekBBS Policy. I am doing this out of a subjective bias against Red Quacker.' In other words, the guy didn't like me. Even though I didn't break any rules, he just felt like kicking me off. Yeah. That's fair.
----- SlipstreamBBS ----- Reason for permanent ban: No official reason given. However, it can be assumed that it was because TrekBBS and SlipstreamBBS share the same chief administrator. He wasn't feeling especially magnanimous, so he kicked me out because he could.
----- AndromedaTV ----- Reason for permanent ban: No official reason given. I only posted there a grand total of TWO times before I was banned. I believe it has something to do with a friend of the TrekBBS administration working over there or something. However, I did not really intend to spend any time at a quacky Delphi Forum anyway.
----- Section31 ----- Reason for permanent ban: Evading a ban. I originally got banned for one week because I was saying some harsh (but not profane) things about people who were being racists. However, I continued posting messages (under the same account) because they forgot to actually ban me (they only posted the announcement, which I had not read). By the time I discovered I had originally been banned, I was 'ban evading,' so I was given a permanent ban.
As you can see, these administrator types are totally corrupt. If I actually broke a rule, then I could understand their actions. However, this is not the case.
This is not the Trek-BBS, the Slipstream, or whatever other boards people here come from. This is Flare. Let's leave the arguments from other BBoards at those other boards, okay?
Now, everybody smile, shake hands, kiss and make up.
Somebody set us up the coffee and biscuits.

All good administrators, eh? Since when was 'I am kicking this person out in direct violation of policy' a sign of a good administrator? You're obviously as corrupt as the rest of them; the only reason you didn't issue the same shameless ban message 'Christian' did is because you don't have the guts! At least Christian didn't make up a false accusation to use as an excuse (people see through your garbage more often than you might suspect).
Consider this: I have been posting regularly on three different message boards lately (simultaneously). On each one, there was a 'representative' from a previous board from which I had been banned, so I arrived with a somewhat spotty reputation. If I were the troublemaker that you and others suggest I am, then why I have I not been banned from *any* of them?
There is clearly something wrong with your analysis of my behavior. When your analyses have such obvious inconsistencies, it is usually a sign of an argument fabricated for some sinister purpose. In this case, the reputation of moderators on TrekBBS is in horrible condition and the quality of conversation is suffering as a result. Rather than accept your mistake, you rationalize it (because we all know that administrators never make mistakes).
I have been lurking at TrekBBS since my unfortunate departure. (Of course, if I were truly the troll that you say I am, I would simply make a new account and start trouble, but I have not done so.) I have noticed the board seems to be rather quiet lately. Even one of the administrators pointed out how quiet the QS&F board (aka Complaint Board) has become. Perhaps it is because people with legitimate complaints are afraid to voice them?
Perhaps the conversations have quieted down because people with minority viewpoints realize they can be kicked out if Christian doesn't like them?
The trouble with Christian is that he, unlike other moderators, never *ever* posts messages for conversation. Since you never see what he has to say, you have no idea what his beliefs are. I never once posted a message directed toward him, yet he *still* decided to dislike me. I suspect that he is nothing but a glorified lurker who weeds out the people whose messages do not entertain him.

Right. Let's try this again, and maybe certain members will keep it in mind.
DEA & Red Quaker - KNOCK IT OFF. You wanna bitch, go bitch at each other over ICQ. Not on Flare. Or CC'll set up us the bomb and blow ya' off the face of the BBS. Thank you.
