aaagh- segwaychat has been blacklisted on my co's server

[bud01234]

I'm going to try talking to the IP guy again. The direct IP route didn't work and I tried some of the anonomous servers and they were all kicked off.

Hey, I've got an idea! How about if we rename this site to Segwaychattanooga?

you could always try ************.COM while at work.

Segway Social

The Yahoo Groups Segway Open

As well as the local Segway Enthusiast Group Chat Sites.

But no matter where you go online for Segway information, you will not find as much as you will find here at SegwayChat.com

Anyway while at work, it is best to do work related stuff, and not Segway stuff, of course unless the work you do is Segway related. Or of course you could access it from a mobile device.

Hey, someone actually had the nerve to give me negative rep for simply suggesting alternatives. Lots of cowards out there on the net. Giving negative, unsigned feedback is roughly the same as driving by a glider and calling him a lazy rich fag. Shame on you.

Except it's more anonymous and conveys less content.

It is cowardly to give anonymous negative rep. However, you tried to circumvent the banned word that you had to use spaces to spell out. You also used all caps. Some people don't agree with me, but it's my opinion that site also steals a tremendous amount of its content from news organizations. So, if you feel that site is so wonderful that you have to make an end run around the administrative policy decision you obviously knew about, your negative reputation points were well earned. The person who gave it should not feel any shame in giving it.

I believe it is even simpler that that... This forum is a privately owned place. We are all guests here... Like any house, it has house rules. If you know the house rules, and make a cute play to circumvent them, it is just rude. I know when people come to my house and do things I specifically asked them not to do, I feel it is rude.

All that said, you do not have to agree with the rules, nor like them. You can even state so, to the degree the host lets you. You should not just be so rude as to ignore their clear wishes.

For me, it does not matter whether you like the other site or not.

And for the record, any negative reputation points left anonymously, are done so by spineless worms. If you have something to say, say it like an adult or slink under the rock you came from...

Yep, I read the rules. They say not to use foul language. I can only assume the built-in filter is broken if it filters out language which is not foul.

So, so true.

I think we can safely assume you know better than that.

How would we be able to assume that? Often times word-filters are not tuned properly and find "bad" words in innocuous words. The default install of this very forum software filters out the word "spice" because it contains a bad word, for instance. I see no wrong-doing.
