I haven't been kicked off of a dog forum...but I have off of a parenting forum.

...I only started a little revolution.

 

Haha, anyone who thinks dog forums are critical and argumentative has never been on a pregnancy/ parenting forum!! I have to ask which one!? What did you do, mention formula/breastfeeding or cosleeping/crib or AP/ CIO in the "wrong" context for that forums general opinion???

 

Sorry to hear that - it sounds like you were bringing them good knowledge.

 

People will argue about anything. Go to a knitting forum and tell everyone to use a double stitch where you should use a single stitch and sit back and watch the fireworks. (I'm just making up the double stitch/single stitch thing, I know nothing about knitting.)

People get too emotionally involved in some of these forums and refuse to have an open mind to listen to any ideas other than what they think is the right way and the rest follow like the good little sheep that they are.

 

No, but I'm tempted to join that forum just to get kicked off!

 

Your mischief is showing.

 

bishopthesheltie--Which forum?
I haven't gotten kicked out of any, but then again I've barely joined my second forum a couple of weeks ago

 

I was temporarily banned from Danes Online forum. It was for "spamming" the forum with my PMR site....the reason it's spam? Because there's a link on PMR to DFC. Heaven forbid we share knowledge and resources. DFC really is one of a kind. We can get into the most heated debates but for the most part keep our cool, get to speak our minds freely, and go back to being a big happy community once the drama subsides :thumb:

 

No but I only am on 2 other forums. One is a breeders forum and the other one I don't go to very much. I think I will not write any more about raw on it, I do believe I mentioned it once. But then I found out there is someone on there that's on the breeders forum and I don't want them to know I feed raw. I know, I know, I'm a chicken but I want one of her pups so bad and I read on hers she is against raw because she works at a vets and says she has seen some bad things from dogs being on raw. And no I'm not asking, it was before I was on it. Chicken I say chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I asked for my membership to be terminated on one where people were very rude, so they banned me instead. Oh well means I got what I wanted I guess!

 

I'm sorry this is to funny. You can't quiet we'll ban you. Take that! I think I'm starting to get scared to join anymore. Not that I seem to even have time to keep up with this one. Like I should be doing something constructive right now.

 

yeah i got banned from a german weim forum, because first i saidthat youdonot have to supplement with veggies and then i dared to say that you can raise a weim without coercion...

 

Yes, I was banned from a Boxer forum when the owner sold it and a bunch of ads popped up for puppy mill websites and it turned to crap. I, very calmly, expressed distaste for such ads and got a PM from a few of the core members that they were making a new forum- one that would not be sold out only to be over run by terrible ads.
In short, everyone that joined the new forum, got banned from the old.
-shrug-
A few weeks later I visited- through a proxy of course because my IP was banned- and the whole forum had gone to hell and was promoting terrible things like science diet.

I left Danes Online and Chazhound before ever getting too into them because the people made me cringe, so much so that I'd have been banned if I ever posted.

I was banned from both of those among others. :biggrin:

 

i was censured on one forum...and given an infraction....and on another forum i was asked..no, told not to talk about raw in the food/diet section.

 

I'm on a few forums, never been banned but had a few warnings!!! I'm a dog trainer and I feed raw - plenty to get banned from there then!! Oh, and my dogs are rescued and I've never "shown" or "bred" puppies - so I must be stupid getting a rescue, as I don't know what I'm getting or doing!

 

I cannot stand that mindset...it speaks ignorance to me. I'm glad you rescued and I hope you continue to do so no matter what some idiots say about your ability to train and raise a rescue.

 

Only one, I was trolling on a PETA site.

 

No I haven't.........yet!:tongue:
Im a member in good standing on a horse forum, which after picking fights with me on purpose, has caused some to get kicked off(funny part is both people that I know of were kicked off of said horse forum over dog/cat food/care chatting!:lol

 

Not that I know of...but after getting "yellow flagged" for something....then another post censored after a gal asked about raw feeding...(I put a great link up)
I posted once more on that thread, and said...this will be my last post here, as it's apparent that the only opinion expressed herein is ONLY the opinion of the moderators of the forum
I also sent the lady who was trying to get her dog's skin allergies under control from kibble, with the link the moderators took down.

Have not been back since.

 

i got kicked off of a forum long ago after expressing distaste for an "accidental" breeding of two dogs, a weimaraner and a dane if i recall. i guess the only moderator-approved reaction was "OMG YAY PUPPIES!":banplease:

i have known of a dane person who was actually kicked off of a forum after searching the key words "chocolate danes," or something similar.

this forum is the first i have joined that is so civil. it is by far my favorite :biggrin:

Oh geeze, this sounds like the kind of crap they do on DOL. What a joke.
I wonder how fast I would be banned if I were actually a posting member there, and not just a lurker.

Seriously, sometimes people get mad that we take offensive words out of posts, or some piddly crap like that, but as far as forums go, this is by FAR the most welcoming, and the most allowing for people to respectfully speak their minds.

 

This is the only forum I've joined because after weeks of lurking I really liked it here. But honestly breed-specific forums scare me. Also, considering my dogs aren't show/breeder dogs (mind you I didn't know much when I got them, twas a silly ignorant teen) I can forsee the "how dare you call those papillons!?! and that Popi mutt was produced by you!? Also why isn't one of your mutts Sparky neutered!? He's gonna get out and make more mutts!! Rawr!!! OMG you feed them raw meat!? How dare you!? Theyre gonna choke and die and get worms. Feed Science Diet!! People! Do NOT listen to this lunatic who is trying to kill your dogs and produce mutts!!".

Sorry for the rant, xD, so maybe they won't be THAT mean, but if you look at some of the breed-spec. forums there's a lot of that going on and it's rather scary, I've never seen another dog forum where the people are as friendly as on here :biggrin:.

 

You mean to tell me there are other dog forums out there? :biggrin1:

This is my only forum.......there's not enough time in my day to waste any online with people who aren't nice. And I know everyone here is nice so this is my hangout :grouphug:

 

proudly kicked out of one of the worst pit bull forums i've ever seen on the net ...

 

Ok I just thought of this post when I got a PM on another forum! It reads "You need to stop trolling and claiming to have lived in so many places! It is clear that you are only in your 20s and there is NO way you could have lived in so many places! If I see another one of your post I WILL mark it as spam for the mods to check!" HAHAHA!!

I wrote back, "Thank you for trying to keep the forum clean of trolls, HOWEVER yes I am only 23 but I have lived in 23...or 24 states(I some times forget exactly how many!) I have been to all of the lower 48 and have lived in 12 or 13 of those multiple times! My family started traveling with my dad's job when I was 9!"

LOL....I wonder if I shall get any reply back!?:tongue:

 

Omg this made me LOL. If they do reply, don't expect it to be pretty, they seem to be deadset that it's impossible and you're a troll. They've probably only ever lived in one place their whole life.

 

I'm a member of a Poodle forum that sounds a bit like DOL. It's wonderful for certain things: advice on grooming, showing, breeding, breed standards, and the like. However, I have two multicolored Poodles, one of an unrecognized size (in other words, both of my dogs are DQ'ed in the AKC and one can't even be registered); I don't show; I'm not a groomer; I treat my dogs like dogs and not topiary; I'm willing to adopt a rescue; I selected my dogs based on temperament (and that's not just lip service). I'm a bit on the fringe in these respects. They're wonderfully knowledgeable and I learn a lot, but I don't have a lot to say. Or rather, I keep my opinions to myself and don't ask too many questions.

 

I treat my dogs like dogs and not topiary;

That made me laugh! Now that I think about it, some clients I deal with do treat their dogs like topiary.

 

When I read threads like this I'm reminded of the old Groucho Marx saying "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member". You join a forum because you think there are people who think the same as you do, but in the end, the people who own it have the final say on who stays and who goes.

My FAVOURITE complaint is "this is censorship. I have the right to express my opinion". Well, unless you OWN the forum, no you don't. :wink:

Life is too short to worry about being "kicked off a forum". There are plenty of other ones around.

 

HEHE, yep so true!! I actually would feel proud to get kicked off for speaking up...I mean I dance around like a crazy person each time a family member or "friend" deletes me off of their facebook list for my "strong attitude"!!AHAHHAA :rofl: :lol: :laugh:

 

Can you get banned from DogFoodAdvisor.com?? Guess i'll find out shortly!
hehehe

either a bunch of "atta boys", or "condemned" to death for stating the obvious.

 

i haven't been banned from a forum but i have
been reprimanded and not allowed to post for
2 weeks (maybe it was 1 month).

 

I haven't been banned by a dog forum, but I have been banned my a parenting board! (mothering |)

We were discussing childhood vaccines when it all went down. I went tete-a-tete with a crotchety old mod about freedom of speech and censorship. It ended badly for me. Apparently you can not even discuss mainstream parenting choices on those boards. Despite my having unvaccinated children who were born at home and nursed well past 2nd birthdays etc., I do appreciate any and all information when engaging in a discussion and I don't feel that censoring by any party does justice to informed consent.
