I blame the Knight solely for that crap, especially since Jackie and Trinity were obviously not informed as to what people actually did to get banned and were forced to give blanket responses like "I'm sure Knight wouldn't have banned anyone if there wasn't a reason." and also "They must have said things in an inappropriate/mean-spirited way - it's not what you say it's how you say it" etc.

Agreed.... Jackie and Trin are good people and it was Trinity who asked webwiz to lift the ban on my IP. I am grateful for that as I really felt I hadn't stepped out of line. I will still continue to post any grievances I have... though my time will be betterspent over here

I felt the same way before all this happened, but now they know the score. They know what this guy Knight is all about. What are they doing about it? Pip, banned! Get Real! She never did anything wrong except she is not doing what they are doing, agreeing to be one of the Knight's pawns. Why bother to play both sides of the fence? Fans can be loyal to the band but that's not what they are doing by supporting this guy. They can call themselves peacemakers, but when all is said and done, what will they say when the Knight is dethroned by Mick?

I think they are supporting the band and unfortunately at the moment that means supporting Knight. I prefer to read their posts on the board rather than Knights crap.

And as I said before Trin effectively got my ban lifted and I know Jackie was working on that too. I can't see myself posting as often on Mick's board now anyway. I can't see that anything has changed by all of what has happened. Knight still spews out his crap

Did they ever tell you why you were banned, specifically?

No. I was offered the chance to 'discuss' the matter over the phone with The Knight but I didn't respond to this and then webwiz removed the ban anyway. Webwiz had no idea I had been banned and originally said it was a board 'glitch' but Knight is very clear in his email to me that I was banned.
My thread asking why I was banned was deleted. I asked the question on the Stop The Negativity thread but I'm not holding my breath for a response.

No.... i didn't get an email to tell me I was banned. I discovered that myself! I had emailed 'The Knight' asking why I was banned and this was his reply to that

I'm glad you're back on Pip because the fact that you were banned wasn't right. As far as those who got you back on, well it definitely works both ways. I am highly suspicious of the motives of those who are going to do something for nothing.

"Did anyone get banned from the board who DID join the fanclub? I was reading some posts earlier and think that most of the "first round" of bannings were people who HAD NOT joined the club. I could be wrong, but am still somewhat curious."

Yes, I have been banned 100 thousand times. I was the 158th member to join that scam. And, I hope that I am one of many to have their credit card charges reversed for the club fees and the preordered cd.

He started on me after I asked why I was banned, which in retrospect was proably an admin glitch, and he read some of my posts and then was just after me no matter what I said. I am one of the ten that he refers to in his email to Pip, where he is encouraging her to let him call her so he can reinstate her after he banned her. He says in that email that only ten ppl are upset and they are causing all the problems. Uh...I counted about 60 alone who posted to the thread "happy with the presale?" that was doctored and changed. He appears to be without any ethics and morally bankrupt imo and does not give two hoots about the fans, only about trying to show that he is doing a good job, so pull your credit card orders guys..that will get the higher ups attention and don't forget all the places that you can file complaints to bring his practices to the eyes of the authorities.

He forgot that this is America and that he stomped on our basic freedoms and rights and that we have a brain in our heads and can figure out when we are being duped.

So, who else made the top ten? I'd love to know. Of course, none of us were ever told why we were banned. I never got a single response from anyone telling me that I did something wrong. The first time I got banned it was for using the words Dick Van Dyke in response to a post by Watchdevil about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In fact, you were posting with us on that thread and then, next thing you know, banned. I'm quite sure he's morally bankrupt and getting a cut of the proceeds. Someone asked me today why they should pull their cd order and now that I think about it I think those who ordered did so because they were promised they were going to get it early, which I think we all know now is just not gonna happen. Come to think of it, can anyone think of one promise the guy did make good on? Right now, I can't. As far as people supporting that site to support the band, give me a ****ing break. The band with the exception of one member wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole. It's an embarrassment to them. I'm sure they've had to put up with all sorts of things over the years, so they probably just built up a tolerance to things like this. Anyway, nice to see you here.

You hit the nail squarely on the head with this comment. All I got so far were veiled promises (direct quote) "We've
heard loud and clear from Members who didn't get what they wanted and we're working on what we can do or offer you to make you happy." I'm still waiting. I can't pre-order tickets to shows half-way across the country. I have a family and a full time job that I owe allegiances to....I can't jet off to concerts that are out of my area. My presale days are now over since there are no more shows or sales to begin here on the East coast.
As far as pre-ordering the cd from the site to support the club...I don't think so. I'll save $8 or $9 and buy it the day of its release from a local discount store.

10 huh? When I talked to him on Sunday there were only eight (including me).

As for the appearance of non-fan club members being banned: That is just more trickery on the MF Message Board's administration, for when they ban you, they take away your stars and re-designate you to "guest," thereby implying that you aren't a member of the "core group."

I just wanted to let Pip know that the comments in my last post were not directed at her. Sorry if that came out wrong!

[annaconda69]

I don't know if it helped or not, but I did send several IM's to the admins, Jackie & Trin even before they were 'sworn in' I think to get Pip & Sara back in at Mick's BB. I was missing ya both....
