Noh B.

I joined this site thinking it would be a nice place to post about paranormal occurrences. I was wrong. One is required to first post an Introduction on the site and mine was almost immediately bombarded with rude, vulgar and borderline inappropriate replied from two of the site's members. I tried to be as polite as I could. Those members posted several times to my Introduction topic this way and I filed a complaint about it with the staff in hopes they would handle those members who were clearly infringing on 15a and 15b of their terms and conditions which state that "You will not Post forum posts, private messages, PODcasts, blog entries, videos, images, and other supported content, links to images or use avatars and/or signatures that are unlawful, harassing, libelous, privacy invading, abusive, threatening, harmful, hateful, vulgar, obscene, and/or disruptive." and "You will not use profanity in our forums on the Websites, and will neither Post with language or content that is obscene, sexually oriented, or sexually suggestive nor link to sites that contain such content." and the staff rejected my complaint. Despite the fact that anybody with eyes could see that the members were cyber bullying the ATS staff claimed to have looked over the issue and determined that the two members did nothing wrong and essentially told me to get over it. I attempted to try to work something out with the staff, first requesting that the obscene posts be deleted which they refused, then I requested that they reconsider their decision and cited the terms and conditions that the members broke as evidence and asked them to at least delete my thread as whole if they would not reconsider despite the fact that I would have to start over with my post count and again they refused. I tried every way I could to reason with these people to get them to stop their member's cyber bullying but they would not even consider it and instead favored their older members over the new one despite the obvious rule violation. In the end, I ended up getting banned even though I had done nothing wrong.
