RR.US banned me and my IP.

Apparantly somebody doesn't like me. After hearing of Kelly's departure from RR.US I asked the webmaster how to delete my account (I don't like having unecessary accounts lying dormant out in cyber space...don't ask). After no response, I posted an inquiry in their general forum and then swiftly thought twice and tried to delete it. Since I couldn't delete it I edited it to say "Mods please delete". That's all I've ever contributed to the site.
Just now I tried to go on to see if I could truly delete the account myself, when I went to the site I got an "IP Banned" message. When I signed in from my mobile device I got an "Account Blocked" message.
I've been on all of these boards now for years, never stirred up trouble...apparantly though, I'm no friend over there. Nice.

I can understand having your account closed, myself I would have just ceased participation but ip banning is a little extreme.
I couln't get access after I had registered, for about a day I could get on site but suddenly my account just wasn't there anymore! I asked friends who had accounts to see if I was still in their friends lists but I had just disappeared
I was Banned from Steve's first forum and the reason that it said I was banned was 'Asshole'!!! which was a little harsh. I hope they have at least gone beyond pettiness although banning an ip is still odd.

I'm not sweating it...I just find it funny/extreme. I figured, this place would have an appreciation for my little story.

Maybe this was just a glitch Am' perhaps as they mature they will learn how to run/behave in way that is less isolationalist. Running a forum and building a community takes work and effort. I imagine they are learning from the problems they create and will bend and twist differently in time.

I feel embarrassed to be mixing with 'types' who are banned everywhere

Us banned members should band together and form a band and wear shirts with bands around them signifying that our band was banned !

Cant say im surprised by what happened to you, ever since the documentary was announced and different sites were started, there has been a history of dissproportionate action
You are a marked man
Presumably my account is still active, even though i havent signed in since i joined; i still recieve emails about all kinds of stuff from them.
Hmmm... i dont even remember what my password was LMAO

I signed on last night, asking for my account to be deleted. No ban though.
