SB banned me; I'm looking for a new forum...
- Thread starter Master of Squirrel-Fu
- Start date
This is coming from a partially outside perspective (I do post on SB, but I don't think I was ever involved in the threads in question), but perhaps it might have helped if you specified that you were specifically going to keep the idea entirely non-sexual?
I can't quite make my mind up over if I think they jumped the gun or not. I know that if I saw it without any context that there was no sexual intent behind the idea, I'd be very uncomfortable, so I can see why they would lean on the side of caution. On the other hand, I would have expected a warning first. Though now that I think about it, I haven't checked the announcement about NSFW = ban sticky for some time, so maybe it says in there that they are being less tolerant of that particular topic?
For whatever reason, it's rare that I actually see a banning happen (unless I come into a thread I haven't read before, and that's usually over in the debating areas, not Creative Writing or BROB), so I can't really say if no warning before dropping a banhammer under such circumstances is the norm or not.
As for not being able to access the inbox, that's an unfortunate trait of the Xenforo system. I imagine the mods/admins would change it if they could, but I don't think they are able to.
I haven't seen much of it (off the top of my head, there's one Ranma & To Aru crossover [though it hasn't updated in a month or two], and Synnecrosis [a Ranma & Fate/Stay Night crossover], which is also available here). It's not as if Ranma fics are unaccepted there, but you don't see them very often.

It'll be advertised with a new form of Moderating.
First a warning from a mod to change their content if it's deemed too NSFW (Which I've been pretty clear about in the rules section)
Then if they contest it they can either have a talk with an admin/other mod and it cna either be private or public.
The evidence is reviewed and it is determined who is at fault.
For the most part Bannings and such will be reserved for repeat offenders and those who've made big fuck ups (like posting horrible porn outside the NSFW section) For the most part it's just letting the member edit their posts or move their thread if it stops being work safe (defined as no porn and nor gorn).
Also mods are not immune to the rules and ban happy mods will be banned themselves.
