@ 'banned'

Sean made my account inactive simply because I was a moderator over here. Up to that point I'd had no warnings, no infraction points, nothing.
He did say the door to the DIF would always be open if I was to reconsider my postion, i'e "quit being a mod and you can come back". That pissed me off so I told him in no uncertain terms to ban me.

Very unfair don't you think?

Don't be silly, everyone knows mods over there don't have multiple accounts.

Hi banned, bye banned.

You are entitled to perceive things however you choose - people have clearly stated the problems they have had and why they have left.

As for infractions - My first and only infraction points were given for saying that I didnt think moderators were living up to the forums guidelines as regards racism - this was back in 2011 - I received 3 points which went on to expire - I received no more warnings or points - I was banned with no reason given when I tried to log on. The little box just said banned - reason for ban - no reason given - length of ban - forever - or words to such effect.

The threads here do go off on tangents - people are enjoying the positive atmosphere and community.

It is true that without the dif I would not have gotten to know the awesome people here - I am not anti the forums - there are still some thought provoking, well researched, friendly and positive people there - I am anti the way the forums are run - as that was not going to change i came here. I like it here.

I didn't say I thought it was ok for her to send it Bel...I thought I'd made that clear in my post. If not, my apologies.

She ran it by me, I voiced my opinion. Jane (being Jane and a woman) listened to my opinion then just went ahead with what she was going to do anyway.

I did not. I didn't know your real name before all of this, honestly.

Hei wizard.

Going through this shit at DIF isn't enough or what?

That doesn't sound like anyone here. There were full-on, real, legitimate beefs had by many (if not all) here that were not being addressed with the attention they required/deserved. This went on for a very long time.

You are one. We are many. But seriously, do you honestly think that 30 - 40 grown-ass adults would band together to act a fool on the internet and end up with something as solid and forward-expanding as this forum? Because I don't. It would never happen! Your experience is your own, just like our experiences are our own. We have a different tale to tell than you, unfortunately.

Incorrect. We spoke/speak badly of a very questionable Admin team and a considerable population of disruptive agitators. There IS a difference!!

Most people here never had a problem with "the David Icke Forum". It was what was allowed to happen in his name (on his forum) that we had the problem with! Some people would call that subverting an online community. To allow the kind of ridiculous nonsense that was and probably still continues to go on over there unchecked. (It's rumored to have been curtailed a bit as of late). Couple that with an Admin team hosting a shakey record and it's a made-for-TV movie of the week!! So the friendships made there were hard won and not something we tend to take lightly.

In my just over 3 years of membership there, I received a one time issue of 5 points that expired immediately. That's IT!! Nothing else was EVER placed against my account. No permanent points. No "On Warnings". Nothing! Yet I was Banned for what I think was asking a fellow forum member for their email address. I never boasted publicly about "recruiting" traf, I mean members on the old Sanctum Forum and I'm pretty sure that I've never done that here. So how is it, if they do not read PM's, that I came to be Banned if not by circumstantial "evidence" such as my merely being a member here? I'd love to know!!

We have no problem with lighthearted banter and off-topic comic relief. We do however not put up with serious offences like racism, trolling, spamming and general abuse to members of this community whether they be Admin, moderator or regular member. All for one and one for all here!!

I am not Sean. I am not Zhiba.

I am just a user of the David Icke forum that feels that cer­tain mem­bers tried to abuse cer­tain rights, and i do not believe that the case with Rain­bows Jane was purely DIF being unfair to her.

Like another user pointed out, she came across as a very nice per­son, but def­i­nitely two sides to a story, and i did see a thread were she was get­ting quite vin­dic­tive with the mods, and she seemed to think that the 10pm’s per day should not apply to her.

This was no rea­son to begin slan­dour­ing Sean & Co

Ok 'banned' fair enough. You could PM me and tell me who you are/were on the DIF

I'll stop sending you PM's now anyway

10 PM's a day shouldn't have applied to anyone, that was a ridiculous number.

So, you're just going to continue on with your one sided, completely shallow view to all these events without at least checking things out for yourself?

Have a look around the forum 'banned'. You'll see that we're not anti David Icke, not zionists or the ADL, and not fluffy cheescake eaters

Many of us have been treated unfairly by the DIF admin though. I for one wish them no ill. I'm just angry and frustrated about how I, and others here have been treated.

Time is a great healer anyway In time all this stupid shit will be finished with.

Message boards, that's all it is.

Right, it did not get hijacked, then how did you come to know about this place?

I have free will 'banned' and so does everyone else here. We'd all still be using the DIF I'm sure, had we not have all been banned.

It was Sean et al, who turned it into a competition, and a "rival" forum, as opposed to an alternative.

What the fuck kind of question is that?

How old are you?

Can't we, as adults, speak about other forums to other members when we where there?

Unless you up the stakes somewhat, you're going to be chewed a new one.

Sean would probably get sacked for being an adversory if he agreed to what you were doing.

You are effectively asking him to screw over David Icke, this is why this place is described as 'anti-icke;, do you not see?

If this is to be an alternative David Icke forum it must be ran by David Icke otherwise it is nothing to do with David Icke, his name should not be mentioned as part of the package and there is no reason for any of these members here to be part of the DIF.

Do you honestly expect Sean to take part in building a new site while working for David Icke? can you not see how this is anti-icke?

I'll tell you how I got here. After being a member of the DIF for almost 3 years, I stopped going there earlier this year, because I thought it was a not-very-good-place for me to be. Then, about a month ago, I logged on and saw threads where almost every poster had been banned or made inactive. Since many of them were my favorite posters, I went on a hunt. It took me awhile but I finally found the forum and I signed up. That was it.

I like it here.

I think some of you guys over at DIF are acting cultlike and it is fascinating to me, but, frankly the ways things are being handled over there do not appear mentally healthy or enlightened.

@ 'banned'

I thought David Icke was infinate consciousness having the experience of David Icke

That post you made is nonsense. My point is, if Sean hadn't have been so heavy handed with the ban hammer people would be using both forums happily, I believe. I was.

Are you saying people who sign up to the David Icke Forum are signing up to a brand? Are you saying it's an exclusive business? Where does truth fit into all this?

I want to add that the "hunt" that I went on was not to find the new forum, because I did not know there was one. I went on a hunt to find out what had happened to all my favorite people. "David Icke Members Banned" was the search term I used. Who knew I would find a forum where they all were, it's great.

It's funny that I was not able to find out, there at DIF, what happened. No questions allowed, you know.
