What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
New Mexico
It was something that happened to me at a Christian Forum. I did not break any of the rules that I was aware of, I was not directly offensive to anyone, no swearing, name calling, nothing. Just pure debate, some of the best debating I've ever done. I started a thread called "Let's talk about Hell" and within about 2 to 3 hours the thread already had at least 60 replies, but probably more. I was typing responses so fast I thought my fingers would fall off. Suddenly, the site went down. Then it came back up and it all started again and the debate got even better. Then the site went down again. It never came back up. I thought it was something in my computer because my internet was working fine everywhere else. The next morning I saw the site was still down, so I tried my laptop. Sure enough, their site came up. I didn't log in, instead I went straight to the forum where my thread was. It wasn't there, it had been deleted I guess. So I tried logging in, as soon as I hit enter, the page gave me a http 404 again. I tried it at the library and the same thing happened, only I checked to see if my posts on other threads were still there, not only had my thread been deleted, but every post I'd done on the site was gone. Well as it turns out, they have ebanned me. It was deliberate.
Here's the problem with this. My thread was called "Let's talk about Hell". My opening statement was I think perhaps the best thing I'd ever written, seriously. It was a description of an eternity in Hell. Very chilling I must say. One of the commenter's wanted to take it to her church and share it with the congregation, to scare people into salvation I guess, don't know.
I came to understand that they have a rule for no debating. I did not realize that at the time. It was my fault for not reading the rules properly. And had I realized this rule I would have never entered the site. The fact that they banned me from their site is not what I am mad about. What I consider the injustice is that they deleted all that I wrote and did not give me any warning whatsoever. Had they come on and told me I was violating a rule and warned me to leave or they would delete the thread, then I would not be writing this. But I recieved no warning at all, no notice of the coming deltion, nothing. Just poof, my writings were gone.
What can I do to try and get them back? I've alred been conversing with them by email to no avail. I believe they have the ability to retrieve my writings but are unwilling to do so becasue they fear what I have to say. Help!
