Moderator Madness at PLUSnet

Moderators at PLUSnet seem to have lost it, it seems that they can'
cope with customers raising legitimate complaints and so they hav
started banning people.

It seems

You are not allowed to go off topic
You are not allowed to draw attention to yourself (whatever that means

You are not allowed to discuss related issues

Some people think this is a pathetic attempt to silence those that hav
complained about the unFair Usage Policy or the moderators themselves.

When I got wind of this I made the following post and was BANNE
myself.

I will leave you to draw you own conclusions.

If you want to post read these threads login as guest with a passwor
of guest. If you want to post, then I suggest your sign up for a dia
account and login to their web portal via your usual connection.

That only applies to the forums. You know about newsgroups so why not use
their newsgroups instead.

ALL moderators are assssholes , it goes to their heads like little hitlers ,
you see they have nothing better to do .find another forum and they will vanish
when every poster pisses off elsewhere .
