Are you okay? Nobody is perfect. You are here because, hopefully, this place can give you the help you need to see life happen for the better for yourself.
why the fuck am I still online, just everyone forget me, it was nice knowing you but I am so fucking ready now, just fucking ban me, so no one can see me
It doesn’t work that way … I’ve been in and out of here for several years and I don’t know that a single account was ever “banned” outright. The mods might delete a post or comment, but not accounts.
Hey, Dawg. Long time no see. I hope you’ve been well.
I’m not sure if you remember but wasn’t there a member several years back who posted content that might best be described as manifests? I don’t think that’s the reason he was shown the door (if he was indeed shown the door) but, at a minimum, I think a block might have been put on his IP address(es). SP Administrator doesn’t comment too often but, if I recall correctly, this member’s posts received some attention.
I’ll need to think of the name or do a search of Google’s cache when I have a moment.
I remember the user you’re referring to and I believe you are correct that it was an IP block … but it really was a unique circumstance that required extraordinary intervention – as I recall the admins generally don’t like getting that involved unless the issue is exceptionally disruptive as that user was – i believe his name was “summer” with one of the “M”s removed 🙂
Mate, I feel a bit guilty about my comment on your last post. I really laughed at your Star Wars phrase regarding that girl. That was funny.
I suck at dating. I hate to say it, but it’s true. I’m an expert at throwing away chances. So what I wrote was tough love. I don’t know the truth. I just know that I have personally sometimes felt like I had a good chance with a girl because she listened to my problems, only to later realize that that is not most women’s dream scenario: listening to guys’ problems. I think you can talk about whatever you like, just… don’t think she’s your shrink.
Calm down and take a deep breath man.
This site is special because of that. They never “rewrite history”. So it’s like an actual chronology of the lives and struggles of people. I mean this should go into the HALL OF FAME! It’s kind of fun actually i dunno if you tried this : go years back and read posts and comments. It’s really interesting. This is a MAJOR STUDY! Seriously. It’s very valuable. You will realize.
I had one post a month or two ago where the admins did come in and delete some comments people had made. I guess the comments crossed a line and were too hateful/controversial.
A few people had been arguing back and forth, and they really started getting out of hand with accusations and threats and ugliness. When I checked back the next day, all those comments had been taken away.
It’s the only time that ever happened on any of my posts… at least the only time I noticed.
If you post pornographic images you’ll get banned from publishing posts. Trust me.
I put up a post once called “Naked Asian Hot Tub Party” (or something like that), and included a picture which corresponded with the theme.
I haven’t been authorized to write a post since then. 🙂 (Although I am allowed to comment).
It’s too bad Morris didn’t listen to my “words of wisdom” back then and allowed himself to get banned, because he used to post poetry and funny or philosophical insights. Sardonic, kind of mean stories too, which is maybe another reason why the Admins banned him.
I don’t even know who the Moderators on this site are?@#$% As they seem to Not make themselves known here. In other forums I have been part of the moderators are like regular posters but you might see that they have like a moderator ribbon attached to their name or something.
Here they seem to be anonymous. But anyway. I really don’t think that you should SEEK to get banned. If you don’t want to be a part of the forum then just stop posting for a while at least and stop visiting the site. Just give yourself a break from it. Because later on down the line you might want to come back and if you go off and get yourself banned you might not be able to come back. Remember that its usually not a good thing to burn bridges.
I worry that maybe the admins aren’t active any more; they have never ever answered any email I have ever sent.
There’s a tech issue I sometimes have, where the site doesn’t let me save drafts or publish posts, yet I’m still able to log in and comment on other people’s stuff.
So far the issue has always been temporary, and it resolves itself in a few hours, but I still wanted help in figuring out what was happening, so I emailed the admins. (using the address they give in the FAQ). I’ve asked for help a few times, becoming increasingly desperate each time… never ever got an answer of any kind from anyone. Not even a “Huh, yeah, we have no idea, sorry about being screwed. Have a lovely day anyway.”
I don’t know… are they still there?
Has anyone actually received a response recently from any SP admin?
No Cordless, i have sent them an email one week ago to delete some of my comments and no reply. It wasn’t serious anyway. But if someone deleted the ugly comments on your post then yes they are there. Someone is at least..it reminds me of the Cube movies.
Because..they want to leave room for us to be free. Replying to every e-mail of any nature and comments means we always feel watched and people who already have trouble expressing themselves..it just won’t work like on any other forum. This has to be genius.
Yeah, I agree Cordless. There sometimes are issues with the site and Yes I have tried to contact mods a couple times and NO I never got an answer either. Well I guess the site is just here running by itself mostly and they probably have somebody checking in once in a while and they delete things they feel are inappropriate at times. I try not to complain about the site because I like this site and it has been very helpful to me. I love the idea of this site… and I also like the people that come here. Its like my little corner on the internet where I feel welcome. I hope this site stays up. That is all I can see. Lately I have been noticing that quite a few posting forums on the internet are up and dissapearing > closing down. I hope this site stays up. I like coming here. This site has helped me through some very difficult times and I have made some really good friends here. I like this place!!
Yeah there was one post that I thought was getting out of hand and I click on the report button.
I felt like the post was giving people bad ideas about killing themselves and also discussing in detail methods they could use and > well I thought it was wrong and going against the site rules. I didnt want any newcomers to think that those kinds of posts are what the site is about. I looked later that day and the post was GONE>
They have the IP address so if they don’t have any online skills they are easily ferreted out. However there are ways to change your IP address. Not that I would ever know anything about anything like that. Nope. Not me.
I just noticed that when you go into the comments section of your dashboard, to look up someones email addy that you now get to see their IP addresses too. So they are working on the duel screen names problem also. All hail the Moderators
The people who returned from being banned usually acted exactly the same way as they did previously, so even if they had re-joined under a proxy IP, it wasn’t difficult to figure out who they were.
well there has been some really interesting things going on around here for the last two weeks, so I’m relieved. Although having my IP hanging out there is a little unsettling. Oh well. In for a penny in for a pound right?
@Hazy; In my opinion, if someone breaks the rules and gets caught they should accept their punishment without complaining.
The administrators of this site felt that I’d violated the rules so they took action. There’s no grudge on my end, I wasn’t treated unfairly. Their site, their rules, I’m ok with that.
I could set up another account with a Tor browser but I won’t. My posts rarely had anything to with suicide anyway, they were mostly just drunken observations, so it’s not that big of a deal. Oh well. No more naked hot tub pictures; your loss, SP. 🙂
LOL. Nah. I suck at the human body. I’m actually working on water pics like ponds and lakes. Reflective surfaces to see if I can do it. It is really challenging.
Well, delete all the history on your browsers, even uninstall and remove the browsers from your computer if you can… Get rid of your main posts here if you like, though you won’t be able to erase your comments on others’ posts. Make sure you don’t have a list of passwords and usernames hanging around so that no one can access your online accounts.
I hope you don’t decide to kill yourself, but if you do want to quit this site….
well fuck
besides that it is just the usual bullshit I deal with, wanting to kill myself but loving family and friends and blablabla loving me blablabla but it is the fucking point of being so I can not give a damn if they are sad because I will be dead by then.
If we see the IP we can watch who it is. Even from Mobil to Comp, I did notice that once its on someelses post it stays. When I changed my email 3 times it stayed on old comments. So now you could have all 4 of mine (the crack head is fake) hehe.
I barely have enough energy to remember where I am most days.
This would make the most boring crime/suspense TV show ever:
Me: (*placing thumbtacks on a wall-size map of the continent*) “Ok… the IP address points here, and based on these two comments, it suggests this area between this road and that one, and if we drive about two miles past this pine tree, we…”
(*pause for commercial*)
(*return*)
Me: “We… um… what was I saying… Y’know, I’m tired. I need a nap. I’m not driving across that many time zones. That’s what e-mail is for.”
Narrator: “Tune in next week for another slightly disappointing episode of ‘Stalked By Cordless’.”

fucking mods are faggets, come on ban me, I am arranging stuff and you must ban me, I fucking beg you, just fucking ban me you motherfuckers
why the fuck am I still online, just everyone forget me, it was nice knowing you but I am so fucking ready now, just fucking ban me, so no one can see me

info dawg
I have heard of people getting banned. Just to let you know it can and does happen.

Hey DR I’ve been doing OK for the most part 🙂
I remember the user you’re referring to and I believe you are correct that it was an IP block … but it really was a unique circumstance that required extraordinary intervention – as I recall the admins generally don’t like getting that involved unless the issue is exceptionally disruptive as that user was – i believe his name was “summer” with one of the “M”s removed 🙂
reminiscent dawg
Ah, yes… It was indeed ‘summer’ with an ‘m’ removed. 🙂
Hmm…

You will suddenly feel you are in a library.

Morris, you are my hero.
@muspelhem; Thanks. I love me too.

Well, the ugly-comment-deletion was at least a month or two ago.
This “occasionally-unable-to-post” issue is more recent.
So the admins apparently existed during the comment deletion event, but have so far been absent during the current email silence.
So they are gone and we are adrift on an ocean with no sail but…the project…still writes itself! Because we write it! It’s ever so clever!
They are active.
It’s ALIVE!
The irony.
I asked them a question three days ago and they replied.
Then WTH aren’t they answering anyone else?
I use deodorant, and I have a hoard of breath mints.
Because..they want to leave room for us to be free. Replying to every e-mail of any nature and comments means we always feel watched and people who already have trouble expressing themselves..it just won’t work like on any other forum. This has to be genius.

Nah, they just don’t care about responding to emails. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a reply from Administration either.
@passionforalways: Surely that rationale shouldn’t apply to emails that request HELP…
@PhantomCitizen43: I like the part about it being your little corner of the net. I guess I feel that way too. And I also hope the site stays up.
@nepheliad: I’m glad I’m not the only one. I wonder why they always seem to answer Hazy, though?
Was there some kind of epically inappropriate thread that got deleted in the last 24 hours? I don’t see anything LA that is way out of left field.
Yeah there was one post that I thought was getting out of hand and I click on the report button.
I felt like the post was giving people bad ideas about killing themselves and also discussing in detail methods they could use and > well I thought it was wrong and going against the site rules. I didnt want any newcomers to think that those kinds of posts are what the site is about. I looked later that day and the post was GONE>
You know what Morris, props to you for not creating another account and just continuing on your merry way. That is some epic integrity there.
There definitely were a lot of folks who did that. When the Admins knew who they were, they would often ban them again.
They have the IP address so if they don’t have any online skills they are easily ferreted out. However there are ways to change your IP address. Not that I would ever know anything about anything like that. Nope. Not me.

They turned that functionality back on? It comes and goes.
The people who returned from being banned usually acted exactly the same way as they did previously, so even if they had re-joined under a proxy IP, it wasn’t difficult to figure out who they were.

Damn, and I really love a good nekid tub pic.
@hazy: You could paint one….
LOL. Nah. I suck at the human body. I’m actually working on water pics like ponds and lakes. Reflective surfaces to see if I can do it. It is really challenging.
well fuck it, didn’t matter anyway, I’ll just shoot down my pc before I kill myself. Fucking cops won’t track it afterwards
What are you worried about, Lacalamity?
have to erase proofs if it is possible
Are you being stalked LA?
Well, delete all the history on your browsers, even uninstall and remove the browsers from your computer if you can… Get rid of your main posts here if you like, though you won’t be able to erase your comments on others’ posts. Make sure you don’t have a list of passwords and usernames hanging around so that no one can access your online accounts.
I hope you don’t decide to kill yourself, but if you do want to quit this site….
Could you just do a wipe and reinstall of your entire hard drive?
Day X is coming soon, I want to erase proof of my online existence. I don’t know why, but I want to do it when I kill myself
I’ve thought about that too. But not with SP. Just every other website where I have a presence.
thought about *doing* that too.
Your online presence and history can be often be re-recreated with information from your ISP, etc.
In any event, what’s going on? Anything that you’re willing to discuss?
well fuck
besides that it is just the usual bullshit I deal with, wanting to kill myself but loving family and friends and blablabla loving me blablabla but it is the fucking point of being so I can not give a damn if they are sad because I will be dead by then.
@HDS. You type fast
If we see the IP we can watch who it is. Even from Mobil to Comp, I did notice that once its on someelses post it stays. When I changed my email 3 times it stayed on old comments. So now you could have all 4 of mine (the crack head is fake) hehe.
Well if I feel like getting into full blown stalker mode I’ll be sure to triangulate where you are. Cause I roll that way.
100 wpm no mistakes last I got tested four years ago for some bullshit job I applied for.
I’m in the BayArea now going to Stanford in the morning. We drove all day + evening, yesterday. HML.
LOL. Well no need to go into stalker mode. TY.
@hazy: Full-blown stalker mode sounds exhausting.
I barely have enough energy to remember where I am most days.
This would make the most boring crime/suspense TV show ever:

I am who I am and what I am is ToTrees
@Cordless not boring at all 😎 I would download all the re-runs.
Yay!
For all you know, there is an episode in your email right now.
Thank you,
