Damn who pissed in your Fruit Loops lol?
I have no intentions on going to court over this lol, it sucks though that I cant get on this FREE site from my VERIZON phone.

Evidently you like this free site and like to sell your junk also or you wouldnt have over 2000 posts? Im sure you would be aggravated if you couldnt log on anymore? I still have access from my shop computer, but everywhere else I use my phone for internet.

 

I have not been on here for a while and I was just curious what member prompted this whole Verizon IP blocking thing and why? What did this member do in order to **** the admins off so badly (must have been pretty bad)?

 

I'm pretty sure mentioning his name would be a violation of this sites policies and turn the slandering comments at the beginning on this thread from general and vague to harassing and cyberbullying.

 

Unfair? more like Illegal. You cant mass ban a block of smart phones to make them dumb phones because you dont want people out and about to access the site? We have control going out of control., I smell lawsuits building,

And before mods delete this comment you better give a good reason, editing or deleting comments or Replies to the Topic is sensorship.


Can you go a bit deeper on this Collateral damage and the Mosquito problem you are claiming? Im not trying to burn bridges, Im not trying to push buttons. But i do think the people do have a right to ask questions without having to worry about any type of Retaliation, Or asked to go somewhere else. I dont care if the Site is Free or not. makes no difference, People should be treated fairly if free or paid.

Well i will say this, This is a Business, They make money of us. thats all i gotta say. THey are shooting themselves in the foot,

 

Yeah, im sure they do make money, and I don't always agree with things they say.... Like Mar wanting me to drop my website from my sig (have not gotten to it yet, I don't really care to but if I hear from a 2nd mod I'll know it's not just mar being a hardass) My company is a TILE INSTALLATION company, i'd be stupid to be paying as a vendor here and I'm never going to get a call form another member for tile work. It's in my sig to show who I am and what I'm about, period.

Anyways, the mosquito? Most here know who he is. Was a respected member, got on the bad side of people for reasons posted elsewhere, and banning cell phones isn't keeping him away from the 7 community. I'm not going to say anything more on that issue because it's too much drama and I hate soap operas. If you still don't know his name and MUST know, pm me.

I hope the tweek works, because I've been able to browse the for sale sections on the cell and it's nice to be able to not miss out on some good deals because I work for a living. I prefer this site to others that have months pass between postings in their for sale sections.

What they're doing is not illegal, and it's not making our smart phones dumb. Chances of a lawsuit are nil, and I doubt anyone's going to stop coming here because of it. I'll pm you with some info.

 

all this for one person. WOW, They cant ban private IP because of the actions of another person, actions i dont see how ir could be an issue. ill find the codes and put them up. i seen this before, either way, they are just shooting themselves in their own foot, People buy when on the road. or in a motel. Or broke down in the car in BFE. Just sayin,.

many things happen on a daily basis i dont like. I dont go ruining it for everyone Else, Ban thousands of people for one person? yea makes sense

 

lol No, it kept coming to mind so I tracked it down..

 

"Member"

the male sex organ used for poping mamas, or women with great "hotential", also refurred to as a bonosaursus
Thank you urban dictionary

 

You are so clueless, it's hilarious. It's cute how you feel you are entitled to everything in the world, especially after insulting the business's adminsistrators, and threatening lawsuits and legal action. I'm honestly surprised you are not perma banned.



Seen that before?

 

I just got the banned IP issue today, so it really sucks....

But as usual, its always gotta be one person who ruins it for everyone....

I am going to miss being able to view the forum when I am on my way to and from work....

 

Tweak or not, I'm on cell right now. I said no at the option to load mobile page if that made a difference, don't think it would.

 

I didnt threaten Anyone. This is Not about me. I didnt say it was coming from me. I didnt say i was sueing anyone. agian There you go with conclusions agian. Running at the mouth claiming im threatning people.. I stated i smell a law suit building., and i also said in another post There will be a law suit,, Mark my words. I didnt claim im sueing. Get your facts strait, And stop Claiming im Insulting people, You are pathetic..

there is a difference between banning One person, and Banning all smart phones because of the actions of a single person. They can refuse service to anyone. Not Everyone For a single person. You are clueless. But it wont matter. They wont be happy till every IP is banned that is a "SUSPECT" IP Then it will be so hard to get online They wont beable to sell anyone anything.


Anyone Does not mean banning Everyone Or ALL Smart phones, Or banning a whole block of IP addresses of People that have Nothing to do with this power trip of Controling who can get online or not. You can do better than that. And please dont Put words in my mouth Claiming that i seem to feel entitled to everything. I never claimed i feel entitled. move along

 

Question, this ban on verizons ip address, is it just us northwest folks that are seeing this or is this a nation wide verizon ban?

 

Seems it's just the NW, only NW people are piping in here, and the mods moved this thread to the NW section of the forums.

 

Nope it wasn't just the NW, im in Arkansas.

Im logged back in from my smartphone now, so they did something right!

 

I'd say the tweak worked. Glad to see a positive result already. How's it working for the rest of the whiners?


Exactly who are you that you know he sells junk and feel free to flame him when he's the one that actually understands what's going on and knows the "legality" of it all? Here's a little reminder you need to memorize now and remember before you post anything beyond what will be quoted in this post from here on out, buddy.

"6. Be respectful. This is harder to define, but will be moderated."

But you aren't banned...yet....the mobile phone people are merely inconvenienced. INCONVENIENCED. And it's for a helluva good reason but confidentiality and libel laws, which are real, prevent the "public" disclosure of who or why.


Libel is written, which the comments were, however they don't come anywhere near the testability of even that. It's not slander. Your first assumption was correct, however:

"- We will not get into a debate with a "Ban-ee" or follower(s) of them, here or on other forums. If you would like to discuss the reasons for a ban you may email us at admin@rx7club.com. Any threads opened to discuss/debate/complain about a user that was banned will be deleted, and the thread participants may find themselves also banned."

...getting any more specific turns this thread into the above. Who's up for vacation time?


Of course we can and any website can do it, too. The tool wouldn't be available to use on a publicly available website-building architecture if it was illegal. So much for that unfairness. Please think before you write out tripe that has no basis in reality, let alone legality.


You're smelling burnt oil under your hood.


First, it's censorship with a "c." Second, when you joined the RX-7 Club when you registered, you hit the "I Accept" button after reading this line:

"- The forum Administrators and Moderators retain the right to modify, edit, move, or delete any posts made on the forum by virtue of their position and in compliance with the aforementioned standards. Further, if you continually or repeatedly violate the rules of the forum, your account may be banned."

...SO THERE GO ALL OF YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS...even though you never had them on this website in the first place.

IOW, mind yer tongue, son, yer startin' t' bother me.


I cannot beyond merely saying we saw something that allowed us to capitalize on a weakness the mosquito had. Collateral damage was the other accounts that might have been impacted because we didn't know at the time the commonality was Verizon's mobile service. We did know some users would be affected but I was going to manually unban the accounts if they did get affected. It was a roll of the dice to stop the mosquito chewings.


And you have a point which is why this thread exists...why I built on it and moved it to where the majority of the affected would be located. It's just that when the first thing you have to say is this - "You will see this in court. mark my words. You cant just ban a whole Block of Phone IP's, For some persons way of controling who can get on and from where. Whats next? this crap gotta stop!! The Line has to be drawn somewhere." - you are burning bridges, you are smacking me in the face with a glove and throwing it to the ground and everyone knows how I usually roll in such situations. You're LUCKY in the sense that as the Admin, I'm now much more tolerant of such foolishness when it's coming from the younger crowd who just hasn't gotten smart yet as to how the world works.

Rage against the machine. That's what this thread is for. Just stop the implied threats before I start taking them seriously. Start to feel...disrespected, as it were.


People get treated the way they deserve to be treated. Again:

"6. Be respectful. This is harder to define, but will be moderated."

..respect is earned and you're doing a pi$$-poor job of it right now with every poorly chosen and misspelled response you make in this thread.


No, it makes money from the advertisers and the paying Forum Vendors and Forum Sponsors. We make no money off of you or your selling or buying activities, which are free and are a PRIVILEGE and most definitely NOT A RIGHT.


No, we're shooting the mosquito.


It's not a ban, it's a filter...a publicly available filter if you use the IB software. Do you honestly think IB would sell illegal products to giant internet websites they snap up? C'mon, THINK.


Even joined with the sentence before it and here all alone, I can't make any sense of this gibberish. What the hell are you trying to say or insinuate? Wait, don't elaborate, just let it go, I don't want to hear it, actually.


Do it. Let's see the legal, federal code. I think you've barked way more than you have bite here. It's almost borderline.....well, let's not go there quite just yet.


Crooks are lazy. If it makes them not want to get on this website, the filter lock is doing all of us a great service. Just sayin'


It is solely because you lack the POWER to do so and you lack the SENSIBILITY and DISCIPLINE to know when you have to take drastic actions for the good of the community, even at the expense of a dozen or so other members' CONVENIENCE.


I can't disclose the actual nature of what it's doing but it's not a ban so much as a filter. The Arkansas "victim" was an exception.

 

what is all this now? Putting my name on text i didnt type? I dont speak that way,. good try. I dont have a "SHOP Computer", MASS BAN for what? You going to ban 15,000 + Phone Ip's Because of one person? wha lol


you are saying I posting this ?

i didnt type this. why would you take my forum name, and claim i typed stuff i didnt?


I didnt type this either, "Originally Posted by rx7_FREAKKK

Why Would you Copy and paste my forum name to text i didnt type? You like to make things up n stuff? Thats pretty crooked of you.

You aint setting me up foo. I got snap shot and records of all my posts

 

Sorry...that's why I hate people quoting a reply when they posted right after it....it got all jumbled up as I sliced and diced it for the reply.

Look, you don't get it. We run the place. There is so much more going on at every corner of the board, you wouldn't even believe it. At any given time, there's around 500 people here actively posting, replying or reading tech threads. At any given time, we've got a dozen bad people trying to get past the gate. When we have ONE mosquito trying to get through the net constantly, it takes up resources and now things start to stack up.

Just like the crowd in the Lounge had to hear, it really doesn't matter if the two dozen or so misfits just leave to another site. They aren't the heart of this website, they aren't the reason it exists and is so popular and we won't miss them. For every one of them who leaves, there's 6 more good people wanting to join this website every single day.

If you don't like all of this, there's the door. We don't need attitude like you have. If I do some research on your previous posting history, am I going to find thoughtful tech articles or am I going to find a waste of time? Actually, there's a lot to do right now, so I'm not even going to bother.

My advice to you at this point is to just go somewhere else in this website and to NOT respond anymore. We've heard what you had to say and it is without merit or true legal grounding.

I deleted the last post because that's how it usually begins and guess who's still a member of RX-7 Club and who isn't if I've seen that pattern enough to recognize it right off the bat? I hate doing things like this in the public board but PM's can be changed, so I don't deal with issues that may have an impact on members in that venue.

I've told you once already I'm starting to feel disrespected. LISTEN.
Think about that and now please try to have a good day.

How many of the other people posting in this thread have had their mobility connection restored?

Relax Freak, connectivity issue is being resolved. No need to go getting yourself worked up.

 

Mines working now, much appreciated.

 

That's the good news I wanted to see. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

It's amazing what a little manipulation of 1's and 0's can do.

 

I was the one you were referring to that make the said quote. I know how forums work and the ins and outs of what it takes to mod one. There was no flaming meant by that comment. I felt somewhat taken back by the fact that he didn't like others(including myself) having a grievance bc we could not access the free forum from our phones and everyone selling their "junk" for free. I seen his post count and assumed he liked to have access to this "free" forum also. So I visited his public profile, clicked on his statistics, and viewed all threads started by him, and most of the first page was for sale and want to buy adds. Just thought it was kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.

 

lol, never mind Tweak.. He's just a bit abrasive

 

Should I have a clue what XXXJ is talking about? He is mad because I buy and sell junk on the forum? I don't understand... Did I cry and complain about not being able to do it over my cell phone? What does my post count have to do with anything? Also, if you are from White Hall, Arkansas why are you in the NW section?

Also, about looking at threads started by me recently.....

I have a LS1 V8 engine in my FC. Have had it for about a year now I think. Don't need to start many threads here lately, everything is working perfectly.

 

Why did you buy an Rx7 agian? whats the point? Why not just get a porsche 928 er somthing. Maybe most of us baught an rx7 because it has a rotary. Just sayin.. But im glad your v8 is so perfect over the rotary engine.
