Help please I am blocked from some Forums

I don't believe I have ever offended anyone or broken any rules

Could I get into the Political forum please?

Thanks

I'm sure a mod will deal with your request, but if I remember correctly, no one is allowed in until they verify that their skin is thick enough for the climate there.

So, it's not that you did anything wrong, it's simply that you had to sign the (rhetorical) waiver.

If you think the climate on most sub forums is bad, you really don't want to go to P&R.

Okay, here is the scoop...


Some forums require a password, which you must obtain from the staff.


Of course, it's really a crapshoot there and not hard to get tossed into Trollheim etc. if you really mess it up.


By contrast, Foo is safer to be a crackpot in. At least they have a sense of humor in Foo.


Caviar emptor, to the fish belong the eggs. Koo koo ketchew


PS You ain't getting into the Women's forum(s), natch.

I certainly hope Not, although I have never visited or was aware that there was a BF "Political forum".

Do you ever go for a nice bike ride to discuss or is rabble-rousing your activity instead?
Probably not, 'eh?

It's called "Politics & Religion" or P&R and is a very long-standing forum on Bike Forums.


You can READ it but to post you must have access from a mod to log in.

Sometimes it is better to have a good honest political/religious brawl.

I agree, and like that P&R isn't "sanitized for your protection"
