SB banned me; I'm looking for a new forum...

Yes, I didn't vote on who the staff are, and my reasoning is as above: I didn't know how any of them would react to being staff, except Chronodekar. None of my close friends or 'bitter enemies' were up for election, so I couldn't really make any guesses as to their real characters.
I'm sure they're all perfectly nice people, but that doesn't always translate into a leadership position.
On the picture:
I have made... extensive and... in-depth studies of pectorals. I can conclusively say: "Those breasts aren't breasts Jim, They're pecs!"

I'm making a big deal about this because I'm honestly confused. What exactly about us doing something as simple as removing a not worksafe picture from a worksafe forum is grounds enough to make you want to go running back to a forum that did the exact same thing but banned the poster to boot?
Bear in mind, we did not ban the poster of the picture, just deleted the picture he posted and gave out a warning.
How does that make us worse than the forum you would rather go back to?
What you believe the contents of the picture are is irrelevant and not up for discussion. It was a topless female, it is still a not worksafe picture.

It doesn't. Laxity, politeness, and rules wise, this is much better than SB.
The primary difference is simply: Amount of updating content, SB has a lot more at the moment, so I'll tolerate their really rather disgusting moderator and admin behavior (They're so RIDICULOUSLY rude to their members) so I can read the interesting fics and participate in the quests.
However, my objection is not that this forum is 'objectively bad' its that the atmosphere which attracted me to TFF is absent, or it feels like its heading that way, and without that atmosphere, or a large amount of regularly updating content, I'm just not really all that fascinated with the place. *shrug*

These are hulk pecs. I think you'll be able to see the difference here.
Also, I find it hilarious that you claim they're 'clearly pecs' when what tipped people off that it might not be a girl was the hair bobs and the chest.
Oh totally, but as you can clearly see in that picture, there were fatty deposits seperate from the pectorals. There was no such thing in the previous picture which was removed, the only possible point of contention was nipple placement, and I can't honestly remember where they were, or would I be able to be sure even if they were perfectly centered, due to the creators obviously dubious grasp of anatomy.
Anyway, moving on. I've made my point.

Right, now for an on-topic post. Squirrel, why not start up a CYOA here? We allow for anything pretty much. If you want to go the slave route, feel free. As long as the explicit sections are in the restricted section, you can do whatever you want. We may not be known for CYOA but that can change. Bii stated that he also wanted to do Sakura Quest on oTFF, but registration wasn't open. Now you guys can. I know that you made your own forum, but it might be good to bring it here too.
There's a serious problem with the banning system on Spacebattles. Namely, that it won't let you even see the reason you were banned. Or even log out. I have to delete my cookies and log out that way. I can't think of anything I did that would get me banned, but I mysteriously have a 2 week ban. No idea why. I can't even debate the damn thing if I do find out, because I can't access my inbox.
Edit: Seriously, could someone ask a mod just why I was banned?

Normally I would disagree with this notion, but considering both times I was banned it was because of an overreaction, I am starting to agree. My first ban? It was because of a reference to Cupcakes. No description, no link, I just mentioned the fic and was hit with the banhammer. A two-week ban. That's overkill, and when the two weeks were up and I PM'ed the mod asking why I was hit with a disproportionate punishment, he didn't even have the decency to reply.
