More evidence of censoring? May 20, 2015 18:28:35 GMT

I've been trying to log in on one of my "secret" forum accounts and getting a "logins disabled" message for over an hour.

i just noticed that Net, Themo, two devs, and Starr have all posted in the last few minutes. Tried one of my other secret accounts and the same issue. Created a new account and it logs in just fine. I have posted on those other two accounts and gave some very pointed feedback so I'm thinking that instead of banning, now they are using a logins disabled message to restrict undesirables. Seems like a kinder, gentler (read "sneaky") way of moderating the forums.

Just sayin!

I figured that is what was happening, fuck don't they know what cloudflare is? If you are going to do what they do and treat people in that forum like they treat people, you fucking need cloudflare.

My kingdom for a banhammer!

The news page isn't front and center unless you're LOGGED IN. You can get to it however, if you click the tiny little "News" button under the big Create an Account" button. I'd hardly call that the "main" page.

Just sayin'.
