They were pretty much banned at different times over different things. DF was banned for using a certain word. I think the other two were banned for the topics they were posting in but don't remember what they were. It was after DF.


Dixie and mekirk were banned for openly criticizing the Times Daily staff for allowing certain members to post pictures of fellow forum members that had been modified in an attempt to slander that forum member. There is a certain facebook site that has all the information regarding the issue, including the emails back and forth between mekirk and the upper management at times daily. Times Daily failed to moderate their forums and the members, and when people complained (both in the topics where the pictures were posted, using the report button and by directly contacting the Times daily staff), Times Daily eventually deleted the threads in question and banned everyone that had posted in them (both the guilty folks and those that complained in the thread about them.) In addition, Times Daily repeatedly refused to meet with the multiple forum members that complained about the issues that the lack of moderation was allowing to go on.

DeepFat was banned before them, yes, but for pretty much a similiar reason. Deep complained and complained about the lack of moderation in the forum and became so frustrated, he allowed himself to push things too far (thinking that, since there was no moderation, it wouldnt be a big deal) and slipped out a inappropriate word or phrase. Of course, after criticizing the times daily so much for lack of moderation, Times Daily moderated him right off the forums first chance they had.

So, the moral of this story is, you can have an opinion just as long as it is not critical of this forums staff and owner.

Search for yourself, lots of information on various blogs and in facebook.......
