You really only find it on US based forumsYou should try computer and Linux forums if you want to see a whole load of that type thing. I was recently banned from a Linux forum because I asked how to do a particular task and the administration on that forum banned me because they don't think I should be using a program that I have used for over ten years. No kidding. Some dip stick jumped all over me because I was asking how to make that program do something I knew was possible, but I just couldn't figure out how to do. I asked him to kindly refrain from posting on my thread if he had nothing positive and worthwhile to add. Within an hour I received notice I was banned. No great loss. I used that as the perfect excuse to jump to a completely different Linux distribution. Worked out well for me so far.
So, yeah, I'm familiar with that type thing. It's sad when a public forum is run in such a manner. You also need to keep in mind that there are members of forums that just continue to push the envelope and sometimes push a tad bit too far. Admins have to deal with all sorts of people and sometimes members just refuse to follow forum rules.
I am on 14 BSA motorcycle forums + 5 RR car forums + 4 mower forums + 6 chainsaw forums
Despite all of the forums I had joined saying that religion & politics was a banned subject I got tossed off one for being "unchristian" & another for being "unamercian"
But I did think being banned from a forum I had never made a post to was quite hillarious .
And on top of that I run 3 forums although to be honest I don't actually visit any of them very often as I no longer run a courier business or do private hire cars .
