Saw this thread and I was banned on SF just before the election. I was able to log in. Not going back. Ever.

I've let DiWundrin know because I know she was peeved when she was terminated suddenly and didn't have time to collect her photos. This was years ago so I don't know whether she will be successful.

Tell your friend she may be out of luck, I was told Matrix disabled the tool that lets you remove photos from the site. I asked because I was having troubles removing my pictures. Good thing I had cleared most of the ones that mattered to me before he instituted this new procedure of not letting you take your property off the site. I was told by SB that he did it because it caused confusion to people reading old threads and it didn't make sense to them when they couldn't see the attachments. Uh huh, sure.

Uh huh, sure.Yea, I'm thinking that was a pretty weak excuse for...? However, this illuminates the advantages of hosting your photos off-site, rather than uploading them to a forum database. When you host off-site, you have total control over the display of an image. I use imgur to host pics, it's more work to upload then create a link to post an image from, but really, not that much more work.

It looks like *everyone* was unbanned, even the "lefties." That makes me feel a little better about their decision. Thanks for letting me vent here. :-[ Wow, was there an en-mass banning? I haven't been on SF since Aug. 6th, after Matrix gave me my last negative, and last warning. Sooo, not to bug, but what was the deal with the mass bannings? Please PM if you don't want to comment publicly.

I just thought that everyone whose opinions differed from Matrix got the boot... NOW he has let everyone back.. WHY is what I would like to know. So he can "ReBAN them if they piss him off again? Get his little power fix? I understand that he is not even a senior.. but he seems to get off on controlling old people and pushing them around if they don't conform to his ways. Maybe he was running out of people to ban.. lol!!

LOL, I'm used to it being in a different spot for each poster, anyway. Got get em tiger or not, but the thought delights me.. PS...I wasn't banned, but, I've come pretty close, I've had a word or two with Matrix about removing my thread and postings.

I've seen long threads where someone got their panties/shorts in a twist and obviously deleted all the photos just to make the thread nonsense to get even before they left the forum. I think that's what he's trying to prevent. All you have to do is click on the image, right click and select copy or save (to your pc). I just tried it. But I've never been banned before.

I don't believe it was stipulated that one wanted to download copies, I would think if a person can put them up they already have them in their file, but, who knows. Either way, if a person wants to remove their photos from a site, shouldn't matter what their reasons, it's their photos.

Yes, I think she probably wanted to remove them from her gallery. After she was banned I decided to cull my gallery of any personal photos, just in case.

Please PM if you don't want to comment publicly. I was banned from the politics section as were a few of us and it really pi**ed me off. I made personal comments to some right wingers. So did they but they didn't get banned. This was right before the election! So I wrote a nasty post bashing Matrix and the unfairness knowing this would get me banned, and it did. Unfortunately it happened so quickly hardly anyone got to read it.

My personal conspiracy theory... I've been scratching my head over what came over Matrix for him to unban virtually everyone he has ever banned.. particularly the liberals who he seemed to hate.. It occurred to me that something must have happened to change Matrix's mind about trump.. and about people that posted against Trump. I think that perhaps it was Charlottesville and Trump's very obvious White Supremacist and Nazi views.. Could Matrix be Jewish? A Thought.. nothing more.
