Zerobricks Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 So yeah, here is the story. After first sucessfull trial truck meeting we had, i wanted to organise a second one. This time the LUG forum founder unexpectetly joined the second competition equiped with all kinds of commercials, to stick them all arround the polygon site. Because as an organizer i didnt expect that and wasnt planning that there should be visitors, the site wasnt chosen right. After that i told him the next meetings will be private, with no need for commercials. So time came for the third private meeting. Meanwhile few days ebfore that there was a super new rule posted, that you MUST NOT POST any LUG's venets, not even your own... After the third race I was forced to post info on another forum and linked it to LUG forum. And thats how I was banned.... He said he would let me back with no moderator rights and blockage in certain parts of the forum. For me this means giving up on my pride, like crawling and begging to someone who banned me for nothing, after all the things I did for him, promoting club on my youtube, building stuff for him and such... Sorry for rant, I am just wondering what would you guys do? Quote
prateek Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 First off, I feel sorry for you. Some rules are just stupid or appear at the wrong time. If I were you, maybe yo could appeal? Or just make a YouTube video bashing them Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 Niether would help. Funny thing is members asked where I am, because I was very active... He just deleted anything new and connected to me. Quote
Ricecracker Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 That's sad to hear. Does your LUG hold elections? If so, you could try waiting until someone else is in charge, and then talk to them. If not, try contacting members of the LUG through other means, and if enough people appeal/complain to him, he might realize that it's not benefitting anyone to have you banned. Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 Nah, its a totalirism... He started the club, and noone cant defy him. Quote
Rick Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Then I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do. However, I know of a very friendly AFOL site that you could become really active on... Quote
noname Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Nah, its a totalirism... He started the club, and noone cant defy him. You can contact the other LUG members and ask them for their opinion. If they'll agree with you, make another LUG, a democratic one, and ask them to join. Well, at least you have a LUG in country.

Zerobricks Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah thats what me and another banned AFOL did. Not very popular though, and now they ban anyone who posts on our forum. Quote
Rick Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah thats what me and another banned AFOL did. Not very popular though, and now they ban anyone who posts on our forum. Well, it can grow to become popular. And the other site banning members should actually be helping you. Good luck! Quote
dr_spock Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Start your own. Make it more fun than the other one. Quote
Forresto Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Well i'm just going to say that really sucks . I would like to say i'm very sorry that happened to you. However there is bright news to this whole crisis. You're here on EB and while I can't speak for the whole site but only for my own personal experience and several others, that it will never happen to you here Nah, its a totalirism... He started the club, and noone cant defy him. Son, have you ever read the book "Mutiny on the Bounty"? I also agree with the post above mine that you should start your own if you're up to it.

Sisco Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Wow... I feel for you. What I would do is get the email addresses of everyone he banned, and ask them to join your democratic LUG. Sorry he was such a jackass. Quote
fred67 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Yeah thats what me and another banned AFOL did. Not very popular though, and now they ban anyone who posts on our forum. IMO, that should have a "snowball" effect and most members should be joining yours. I know if someone banned me I'd join somewhere else... if they even threatened, they wouldn't get the chance. Quote
Milan Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I know that forum... I would say make your own site, or move totally to the most popular site, regarding Technic building. Don't return to his site, it would mean that you are accepting quilt. What are you are going to do with your videos promoting his forum? Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 25, 2010 Author Posted August 25, 2010 Will put annotiations over the intro logo. Quote
Big Cam Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Nah, its a totalirism... He started the club, and noone cant defy him. Start your own club. I know it stinks, but if they don't want you, crawling back wouldn't feel right to me at least. Its kind of like the saying, its hard to love someone who doesn't love you. Quote
